Which do users rate higher?
Arena Club wins on user ratings: 2.9★ (1.1K ratings, 3 sources) vs 3.5★ (8.3K ratings, 3 sources).
Tilt Rips: 2.9★ average across 3 review sources. Reviews have been polarized from the start. Trustpilot is split almost evenly between 5-star and 1-star, and Tilt Rips invites reviews there but replies to only 1% of negative ones. Since July 2026 the dominant complaint has been a shipping backlog, with several users reporting waits of a month or more and some saying their cards were bought back instead of shipped. Recent reviews also mention ID checks lasting over a month, failed bank transfers and account flags. The Android app is rated 1.7.
Arena Club: 3.5★ average across 3 review sources. App ratings are solid, with praise for the interface, the showroom and support. Trustpilot is very negative (85% 1-star) but small and skewed toward buyers outside the US, whose main complaint is shipping and import duties that cost more than the card. Reviewers on both platforms say Slab Packs lose money over time.
