PackDraw Glossary: Every Term a New User Needs to Know

Packs and openings

Pack: A fixed list of real products with a published chance for each. You pay the pack price and one item is drawn at random.
Opening: One paid draw from a pack. Each opening gives exactly one item.
Item pool: The full list of items that can come out of a pack, shown on the pack page.
Displayed value: The dollar figure PackDraw shows next to each item. It is PackDraw's number, not a resale guarantee.
Odds: The percentage chance of drawing each item, listed on the pack page. Most packs give the highest chance to their cheapest items.
House edge: The built-in gap between what a pack costs and what it returns on average. The most likely item is usually worth less than the pack price.
Demo spin: A free run of the reveal animation that some packs offer. No payment and no prize.
Free pack: A pack that costs nothing to open, unlocked at milestone account levels. There is no free pack just for signing up.

Prize Cart and money

Prize Cart: Where every item you draw is held. Also called the Cart. All shipping, selling and withdrawing starts here.
Sell (sell back): Converts an item into site balance instantly. It cannot be reversed.
Claim: Requests physical delivery of an item. Currently for US and Canada customers, for in-stock items worth $15 or more, and typically takes 2 to 3 weeks.
Claimable Items: A button that shows which items are in stock and can be shipped right now.
Exchange: Swaps an item for other items of equal or lower value. Any difference is credited to your balance.
Split: Turns one item into two equal vouchers.
Balance: The funds in your PackDraw account, used to open packs and enter battles. It comes from deposits, bonuses and items you have sold.
Deposit: Adding funds. PackDraw accepts crypto (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, USDT, USDC, LTC, TRX and more) and card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Coinflow: The payment provider that processes card, Apple Pay and Google Pay deposits. Fees are shown before you confirm.
Withdrawal: Paying out the value of Cart items to your own crypto wallet. Crypto only, with a $15 minimum. Usually under 15 minutes, allow up to 24 hours.
Promo code: A code typed into the promo code field on the deposit screen before you pay. Code ORANGIE gives a 5% deposit bonus.
KYC: Know Your Customer, meaning an identity check. Reportedly not required at sign-up, but PackDraw can request documents at any point.
2FA: Two-factor authentication. An optional login code from an authenticator app, set up under Account, then Security.

Fairness

Provably fair: A system where each result is fixed by values committed before the draw, so it can be verified afterwards. It proves a draw was not altered. It does not mean the odds favor you.
Server seed: A secret value held by PackDraw that feeds into each solo opening. Its hash is published in advance.
Hash: A fingerprint of a value. Publishing the hash of the server seed commits PackDraw to that seed without revealing it.
Client seed: The value on the user's side that is combined with the server seed.
Nonce: A counter that increases with each opening, so the same pair of seeds gives a different result every time.
EOS block hash: The source of randomness for battles. The result is seeded by the hash of a future block on the EOS blockchain, which cannot be known beforehand.

Battles

Battle: A match in which players open the same packs and the winner takes the prizes. It starts with a 3-2-1 countdown once all seats are filled.
Bot: An automated player that can fill an empty seat in a battle.
Normal: The standard battle mode. The highest total prize value across all packs wins.
Upside Down: A modifier that reverses the goal, so the lowest total wins.
Last Chance: A modifier where only each player's final pack counts.
Jackpot: The winner is picked by a weighted spinner. Your odds equal your share of the total value pulled.
Point Rush: A points-based mode. In Upside Down Point Rush, the lowest prize in each round scores a point and the most points wins.
Shared: A co-operative mode. All prizes are pooled and split equally between players.
Elimination: The player with the lowest pack value is knocked out each round until one is left. Ties are settled by a random tie-breaker.
Fast Mode: An option named in PackDraw's battle articles. The help center does not explain it in detail.

Other modes

Draw: A game with nine cards that each start at 1x. Each draw tries to upgrade them to higher multipliers and failed cards go grey. You can claim an upgraded card or continue. A session's total win is capped at $350,000.
Forge: A feature for building your own custom pack and listing it for others.
Deals: A mode in PackDraw's menu. Published descriptions of it conflict, so check the Deals page on PackDraw.
