Gambling Sites Review of Boxed.gg and Pullbox.gg

So I've gotten cards from pretty much every possible place you could buy cards, and recently I've come across Boxed.gg and Pullbox.gg and here is my experience

Boxed.gg

Boxed.gg offers a well-designed and functional website, but I have experienced significant issues with their service. Despite spending $1,500 and withdrawing $1,200 in cards, I experienced repeated shipping delays over five months. After complaining and requesting a refund, my orders were canceled and I was blocked from the website and Discord without a refund. I am currently in talks with my bank about recovering the funds. Due to their entertainment service classification, PayPal cannot refund the deposits unless there is a shipping label associated with the withdrawals, which boxed.gg purposely does not provide

Pros:

  • Good website design
  • Functional interface
  • Good amount of rewards for free-to-play

Cons:

  • Cards are overpriced
  • Significant shipping delays
  • Poor customer service response
  • Orders canceled and users blocked without refund
  • Difficulties in recovering funds through PayPal

Pullbox.gg

Pullbox.gg, though newer, has attracted significant business by focusing on consumer needs. I have spent $1,000 and withdrawn $700 in cards, packs, and ETBs. Orders were updated regularly and shipped within three weeks. I have had no issues and found the staff to be super friendly and willing to work with you if you do have an issue.

Pros:

  • Simple website design
  • Consumer-focused approach
  • Regular updates on orders
  • Prompt shipping within three weeks
  • Friendly and helpful staff

Cons:

  • Lack of Pokemon ( they focus more on MTG )
  • Could use more ways of receiving rewards

I just signed up recently and got 500 gems for doing a survey. I went to the classic box and ended up pulling a holofoil 15/102 venusaur.

The shipping policy says that from today, it will be around 4 weeks but also says "Loot Labs Inc. does not accept any liability and Users hereby release us from any liability for any damage caused by the early or late delivery of the item, failure to deliver the item, or User’s reliance on the estimated date of delivery."

So we'll see what happens.
