Read before you deposit
Responsible play
PackDraw involves real money and chance, and the most likely result of an opening is usually worth less than it cost. If you play, decide your limits before you deposit and stop when you reach them. PackDraw is for adults aged 18 and over only.
The facts to keep in mind
- Packs have a house edge. The most likely item is usually worth less than the pack price.
- Results are random. A run of losses does not make a win more likely.
- Provably fair means a draw can be verified. It does not mean the odds are in your favor.
- PackDraw calls itself gamified shopping and does not hold a gambling license. Do not assume the safeguards of a regulated gambling site.
- According to one independent review, a deposit cannot simply be withdrawn again. Money you put in should be money you have already decided to spend.
Limits worth setting
- A budget. Pick an amount you could lose completely without it affecting rent, bills or savings. Deposit that and no more.
- A time limit. Decide how long a session lasts before you start.
- A stop rule. When the budget is gone, the session is over. Do not top up to win it back.
- A cash-out rule. If you draw something valuable, decide what to do with it before you open anything else.
PackDraw's help center does not describe deposit limits or self-exclusion tools. If you want a limit or a break applied to your account, ask PackDraw support through live chat or at support@packdraw.com.
Warning signs
- Spending more than you planned, or depositing again straight after a loss
- Using money meant for essentials, or borrowing to play
- Hiding how much you spend from people close to you
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you are not playing
- Opening packs to escape stress rather than for fun
If any of these sound familiar, stop and talk to someone.
Where to get help
In the United States, the National Problem Gambling Helpline is 1-800-522-4700. It is free and confidential. In Canada, problem gambling helplines are run by each province, and your provincial health service can point you to yours.
Elsewhere, search for a problem gambling helpline in your country, or speak to your doctor. These services are relevant even though PackDraw does not describe itself as gambling. Paying for chance-based results can cause the same kind of harm.
Under 18
PackDraw is not for anyone under 18, and neither is this guide. If you share a device with children, log out of your account when you are done and turn on two-factor authentication.
