A Transparency Checklist for Your Rips Terms Page

Let’s chat

Every month, about 22,000 Google searches ask whether a rip app is legit.

The answer gets built from your odds, prices, shipping and payouts. Is it built from your page?

Collectors rarely search for odds: about 270 searches a month. Buyback draws about 600. Price, about 460.

They ask the trust question instead. And the AI decides what answers it.

We know because we asked. We put twenty real collector questions to ChatGPT and Google's AI Mode, three times each, on October 2 and again on October 27. None asked about odds or pack prices. Only one mentioned shipping.

On October 27, Google brought up price anyway, in 97% of its answers. Shipping in 90%. Odds in 87%.

The AI is going to talk about your odds. The only question is whose numbers it uses.

By terms page we mean the public page that states your odds, prices, shipping and payout rules, whatever you call it. Not your Terms of Service.

The Rips Terms Page Transparency Checklist

Free, no sign-up. Nine facts to post, a pass test for each, two prompts to check your page with ChatGPT or Claude, and a ten-minute self-check.

Paste it into your AI with one of the prompts at the top.

ChatGPT does the same. So do angry reviewers.

On October 27, ChatGPT raised price, shipping and odds more often than any other topic we tracked. Price in 73% of answers. Shipping, 72%. Odds, 60%.

App Store reviews show why those three matter. We pulled 3,608 recent reviews of ten rip apps. In the one and two star reviews, the top complaint was odds, which reviewers often called rigged: 45%. Then trust, 33%. Price, 26%. Getting money out, 21%.

Two of the AI's three topics, odds and price, are also among collectors' top complaints.

And now someone is keeping score

Outside comparisons arrived in October. PackScout launched mid-month and ranks about 70 pack platforms on expected value and buyback fairness, according to Mantel's launch coverage.

Later that month, PrizePicks Packs launched with a value range posted for each of its nine tiers.

Your competitors' numbers are going public. The AI can only weigh yours if you post them.

Nine facts, each one a question collectors already ask

Every item on the checklist answers a question collectors ask, or one the AI adds on their behalf. The checklist gives the exact fact to post and a pass test for each. Here's the evidence behind them.

THE EVIDENCE

Items 1–2
45%

of one and two star reviews complained about odds, often calling them rigged

Who runs the app, and the odds

  • Trust was the second biggest complaint (33%).
  • Apple requires odds before an in-app purchase of randomized items, on a screen a collector who hasn't downloaded can't see.
  • A law firm's August alert put "publishing complete and accurate checklists and odds disclosures" first on its list for operators.
Items 3–4
97%

of Google's answers brought up price without being asked

Price and shipping

  • Shipping came up in 90%, though only one of our twenty questions mentioned it.
  • Collectors ask about price as "is it worth it."
  • A card that arrived was the second most common theme in four and five star reviews (13%).
Item 5
12% → 40%

of ChatGPT's answers brought up cash-out, October 2 to October 27

Getting money out

  • Payouts drew a fifth of low star complaints (21%).
  • PackScout's launch coverage flagged forced "pack protection" fees of about 10%.
  • Your buyback rate is your call. The fees and the payout time are what prove money comes back out.
Items 6–7
~23,600

monthly searches for an app's promo or referral code

Where the app works, and the promo code

  • Whether an app works on a given phone or on the web draws about 14,000 a month.
  • Google answered which states Rips by Triumph works in from its help pages, on both dates.
  • Google's second most cited source was a sports betting site's roundup of rip apps, with a column of sign-up offers. If your page doesn't state yours, the answer uses theirs.
Item 8
72%

of Google's answers brought up gambling or legality

Age and spending rules

  • PrizePicks, a daily fantasy operator, launched packs in October. Its release lists age-gating, Know Your Customer checks, exclusion lists and mandatory deposit limits.
  • The same law firm's September alert added self-exclusion, enforceable spending limits and addiction-support resources for repack sellers.
Item 9
3 of 3

tries of the same ChatGPT question named a different set of apps

A date on the page

  • The answers move from one try to the next, so show when your facts were last checked.

Google and ChatGPT figures are from our October 27 runs unless a range is shown; ChatGPT ran logged out on both dates. Searches: Google Keyword Planner, September 2026. Reviews: 3,608 App Store reviews of ten rip apps. Full sources at the end of the post.

Let ChatGPT or Claude grade your page

The checklist opens with two prompts.

The first grades your page item by item: pass, partial or missing. It quotes the line it relied on and writes the fix.

The second turns the gaps into a plan, grouped by who owns each fix: product, support, legal or marketing.

Paste a prompt, then the checklist, then your page's URL or text.

The prompt sets three rules for the AI. Mark anything it can't see from the page, like what the app itself shows, as unverifiable. Leave a placeholder where a fix needs a number it doesn't have. Give no legal opinions, and flag anything that needs counsel.

If it can't open your page at all, check that the page loads without a login.

Post the facts, and the answer can use yours

Collectors will keep asking if your app is legit. The AI will keep answering from odds, prices, shipping and payouts.

Start with two: the odds, the top complaint in low star reviews, and the payout timeline. Then work down the list.

The checklist also names three things to keep off the page, and a ten-minute check to repeat monthly.

About this series

This is Part 3 of our digital packs series from Proxima, where we build ad audiences of buyers who actually convert, from real purchase data. Part 1 covered where packs stand with 15 ad platforms and app stores. Part 2 showed what AI tells collectors before they download.

It's written for whoever owns the terms page at a rips app, often the same person running the ads.

Next in the series: what the industry's most credible voices are telling rips operators to fix.

How we made this

Written and edited by Proxima's team, with help from AI on research and drafting. Every figure is sourced below. Search volumes are approximate monthly figures from Google Keyword Planner.
