Our experts spent a couple of weeks testing Crown Rips and we have some early insights right here.
Crown Coins looks to be adding yet another new way for members to play, with selected users now getting early access to a beta feature called ‘Crown Rips‘.
We were sent an exclusive invitation explaining how the feature works, and it looks like players will be able to purchase virtual packs of cards and reveal “real collectible trading cards”, with each pull giving them a few different options.
Once a card is revealed, players can choose to:
- Sell the card back instantly for its current market value
- Vault the card and keep it stored securely
- Ship the card directly to their door
Crown Rips Brings ‘Rip-and-Ship’ Style Collecting to Sweepstakes Casinos
If you’re wondering what this is similar to, Crown Rips appears to be taking inspiration from the ‘rip-and-ship’ trend from the world of trading cards.
The concept gained popularity through YouTube and Twitch card breakers, where collectors buy packs remotely and watch them get opened live. Today, there are also dedicated platforms like Let’s GO, where users can purchase packs online and enjoy the excitement of the reveal without needing to visit a card store.
That reveal is the main appeal – you could pull a card worth very little, or you could uncover a rare collectible worth far more than the original pack cost. Modern rip-and-ship platforms have also added features like digital vaults, valuations, and instant selling, making it easier for collectors to manage their cards without immediately needing to ship them.
Crown Rips appears to be following a similar model by combining the anticipation of opening a pack with the convenience of managing collectibles online.
However, the biggest question right now is what cards will actually be pulled. Crown Coins describes this feature as offering “real collectible trading cards”, but it’s not yet clear whether these will be established collectibles from recognized brands like Pokémon cards or a new range of Crown Coins-specific cards.
That detail will make a big difference; a card with an established collector market has a very different appeal from a platform-specific collectible whose value depends on the Crown Coins ecosystem.
Also, how will this game dovetail into the sweepstakes casino experience? Either way, we’ll be signing up for the beta and will share more details as they become available.
Crown Coins Continues Looking for New Ways to Engage Players
What’s impressive is that this will be another addition to Crown Coins’ growing list of features. One thing this platform continues to do is add new ways to play rather than simply relying on a traditional sweepstakes casino lobby.
That matters in today’s market, with more and more sweeps platforms competing for players’ attention. It seems the brands that stand out are the ones giving users something fresh to get excited about.
For example, alongside the standard game lobby, Crown Coins has already released:
- Crown Coins Originals: Unique exclusive slots like Spinning Crowns and Gates of Crown Coins.
- Hall of Fortune: Smash tiles using Hammers virtual currency to unlock prizes.
- Crown Bingo Live: A live-streamed community bingo game.
- Crown Road: A progression feature that allows players to unlock rewards along a fixed path after paying in.
- Crown Sports: A match prediction game that coincided with the FIFA World Cup.
But this time, Crown Rips is built around something very different: collecting cards.
Of course, this feature is still in beta, so it remains to be seen how it develops and whether it becomes available to all Crown Coins players. There are plenty of other important details to be revealed too, including what cards will be available and how the wider marketplace will work. Also, will it feel like it’s part of the broader casino experience, or just a gimmicky add-on?
For now, it’s another interesting move from one of the more experimental names in the sweepstakes space.
SweepsKings will join the beta and keep monitoring Crown Rips as more information becomes available.
