All questions

How long does it take for my cards to arrive?

Orders ship within 15 business days of your request. In busy periods it can take longer. You get an email when your order is being packed and another with the tracking link when it ships. Check your spam or promotions folder if you don't see them.

Your live status is on Redemptions and under Track your order on the Help page.

  • Requested: We received your request.
  • Being packed: Your cards are being packed at the vault. On Redemptions this shows as Processing or We started preparing your shipment.
  • Shipped: On its way to you, with a tracking link.
  • Cancelled: The cards are back in your collection.
How does tracking work after my cards ship?

Your tracking link is in the shipping email, next to the order on Redemptions and under Track your order on the Help page. We ship with FedEx and USPS. Tracking updates come from the carrier, so the carrier's page always has the latest status.

Delivery usually takes 5 to 10 business days after your order ships, depending on your local postal service.

Tracking hasn't moved for 7 days? Email us at info@gotya.com with your order number.

How does shipping my cards work, and what does it cost?

Go to Redeem, select up to 20 graded slabs, enter your full address and confirm. Each request is a separate shipment with its own fee. Cards ship from the USA.

The fee covers shipping, packaging and handling, with tracking. It depends on the total value of the cards in the box:

  • Up to $1,000: $24.95
  • $1,000.01 to $5,000: $39.95
  • $5,000.01 to $25,000: $79.95
  • Above $25,000: $149.99

You pay the fee from your cash balance. Bonus balance can't cover shipping, and cards can only be shipped once you've added funds to your account. We may ask you to verify your identity before your order ships.

How do customs and import fees work?

Customs, VAT and import duties aren't included in our shipping fee. Any charges set by your country are paid by you.

If the carrier or customs asks for the value of your cards, open the order on Redemptions and click Shipping document. It's a commercial invoice listing every card and its value. You can print it, save it as PDF or email it to yourself.

Can I cancel a shipment?

Yes, until we start preparing it. On Redemptions, click Cancel next to the order. Your cards go back to your collection and the shipping fee is refunded to your balance.

Once an order shows Being packed (on Redemptions: Processing, or We started preparing your shipment), you can't cancel it yourself anymore. Email us at info@gotya.com with your order number.

Can I change my shipping address?

You can't edit the address of an open order. If the order can still be cancelled, cancel it on Redemptions (the fee is refunded) and request a new shipment with the right address.

Already being prepared? Email us right away at info@gotya.com with your order number.

Can I add cards to an order or combine shipments?

You can't add cards to an order after you've requested it. Want more cards in one box? Cancel the open order before we start preparing it, then request one new shipment with all your cards (up to 20).

When two open orders go to the same address, our team may combine them into one box. You'll get an email. Any part of the fees no longer needed is refunded to your balance.

Which cards can I ship home?

Only graded slabs can be shipped. Raw (ungraded) cards stay in the vault, and you can sell them back to Gotya for 100% of their value.

A card that's listed on the marketplace can't be shipped either. Cancel the listing first.

What happens if my card arrives damaged?

Email us at info@gotya.com as soon as you can, within 48 hours of delivery if possible. Send:

  • your order number and tracking number
  • clear photos of the slab and the packaging
  • a short video showing the damage

Keep the packaging until we've closed your case. Your legal rights stay the same after those 48 hours.

Which countries do you ship to?

We ship graded slabs from the USA to the countries listed in the shipping form on Redeem. Is your country missing? Email us at info@gotya.com before you request a shipment.

Gotya isn't available in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, or the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Customs and import fees in your country are paid by you.

How long does my withdrawal take?

Withdrawals are reviewed and paid within 4 to 5 business days. Follow the status under Track your order or in your Wallet: Pending, Paid, Declined or Cancelled.

While it's pending, the amount is reserved in your wallet. You get an email when you request it and another when it's paid or declined.

Changed your mind? You can cancel a pending withdrawal in your Wallet until it's locked for payout.

How do I withdraw, and what's the minimum?

Withdrawals go to a PayPal account in your own name, matching your verified identity. Bank transfers aren't available right now. The minimum withdrawal is $25.

You verify your identity before your first withdrawal. Only cash balance can be withdrawn; bonus balance stays on the platform for packs.

Deposits are for packs and the marketplace. A withdrawal of a deposit that was never used on packs or the marketplace is declined.

What happens when a withdrawal is declined?

The email and your Wallet show the exact reason, and the amount is back in your balance. The reasons we see most:

  • A deposit hasn't been used on packs or the marketplace yet.
  • The PayPal account isn't in your own verified name.
  • PayPal couldn't deliver the payment, for example because the PayPal account is limited or inactive.
  • The card used for deposits isn't in your own name.

Fix the reason, then request the withdrawal again. A new request with nothing changed is declined for the same reason.

How do I find a paid withdrawal in PayPal?

Check the PayPal account you saved in your Wallet and your PayPal activity, including pending payments. A payout can take 1 to 3 business days to show up in PayPal.

If PayPal shows nothing or a cancelled payment, email us at info@gotya.com with the amount and the date. We check the payment with PayPal before anything is sent again.

How do I add funds?

Open your Wallet, click Deposit, choose an amount and pay by card. Card payments go through the secure checkout of our payment provider (Stripe or Whop), so your card details never reach our servers.

The minimum deposit is $15 and the maximum per card deposit is $50,000. Your balance updates as soon as the payment is confirmed.

What if a deposit takes a while to show in my balance?

Please don't pay again. Email us at info@gotya.com with the amount, the date and a screenshot of the payment confirmation, and we'll trace the payment.

Charged twice for one deposit? Send us the same details and we'll sort it out.

How do I get a card payment to go through?

Check that the card is in your own name and allows online payments, then try again or use another card. After several failed attempts in a short time, deposits pause for a while to protect your account. If it keeps failing, your bank can tell you why it blocked the payment.

What's the difference between cash and bonus balance?

Cash balance comes from your deposits, marketplace sales and sell-backs, and you can withdraw it. Bonus balance comes from promotions, free packs and sell-backs of cards from free packs. You can use bonus balance on packs, but you can't withdraw it, pay for shipping with it or buy marketplace cards with it.

Paid for a pack partly with bonus balance? When you sell that card, back to Gotya or on the marketplace, that part comes back as bonus balance.

Bonus balance expires after 30 days without any activity on your account. We email you at least 7 days before, and any activity resets the 30 days. Cash balance never expires.

How do refunds work?

Deposits and pack purchases can't be refunded. Money you deposited and haven't used stays in your balance, ready for packs and the marketplace. Your statutory rights stay the same.

Charged twice, or paid and the money never showed up in your balance? Email us at info@gotya.com with the amount, the date and a screenshot of the payment, and we'll trace it.

See a payment you don't recognise? Email us before you open a dispute with your bank, so we can sort it out with you first.

How does identity verification work?

Withdrawals need a verified identity, and we can ask for verification before your cards ship. That way payouts and shipments only go to the account holder.

You need a valid government photo ID and a phone or computer with a camera. Stripe runs the check, and most checks finish within minutes. When we ask you to verify, your account is paused until you complete it. The Help page and email support stay open.

Verification failing? Try another browser or device, and make sure the whole ID is visible and sharp. After 2 failed attempts you can upload photos of your ID instead of using the live camera. Still stuck? Email us at info@gotya.com.

Can I take a break or close my account?

Email us at info@gotya.com from the address on your account and say you want your account closed or deleted.

Before we can delete it, withdraw or spend your cash balance, ship or sell back your cards, and let open withdrawals and shipments finish. Deletion is permanent.

Want a break from opening packs instead? Email us at info@gotya.com and we'll help.

How do I choose which emails I get?

In Settings, go to Email notifications and switch off what you don't want, or click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing email. Account and security emails, like password resets and shipping updates, always arrive.

How do I reset my password?

Use Forgot password on the login page and we'll email you a reset link. Check your spam folder if it doesn't arrive. Signed up with Google? Use Continue with Google on the login page.

Still locked out? Email us at info@gotya.com from the address on your account.

How do the odds and fairness checks work?

Every pack shows its odds per value bracket before you open it, and they update live as the inventory changes. Each pack contains exactly one real card from a limited inventory.

Many pulls are worth less than the pack price and a few are worth more. A card that someone sold back returns to the inventory, so you can pull the same card again.

Every opening is provably fair: before you open, we publish a fingerprint (hash) of a secret seed. Afterwards we reveal the seed, so you can check the result was fixed in advance.

How does the buyback work?

You can sell a card back to Gotya from the reveal screen or from your collection. The offer is a share of the card's current market value: 90% for graded slabs and 100% for raw cards. You see the exact amount before you accept, and the offer is valid for a limited time.

Bought the card on the marketplace in the last 30 days? Then the offer is at most what you paid. Paid for the pack partly with bonus balance? That part of the sell-back comes back as bonus balance.

Haven't added funds yet? Cards you pull are kept for 48 hours, then sold back automatically to your bonus balance. Add funds within those 48 hours to keep them.

How is a card's value set?

A card's value (fair market value) is our good-faith estimate, based on recent sales, marketplace and auction results, the grade and other market data. It moves with the market, so it's an estimate and not a promised sale price.

Grades come from independent grading companies such as PSA and CGC. We don't change them.

What happens if a pack opening is interrupted?

A completed pack is always saved to your account, even if the reveal didn't load. Refresh the page and check your collection and wallet history.

Paid for a pack but no card in your collection? Email us at info@gotya.com with the pack name and the time you opened it.

How does the marketplace work?

You can list graded cards from your collection for other collectors to buy, at a fixed price or as an auction. Gotya takes no seller fee. When someone else first pulled the card, 1% of the sale price goes to them, and you earn the same 1% whenever a card you pulled is resold. At auctions the buyer pays a 10% buyer's premium on top of the winning bid.

Listing opens once you've added funds. A listed card can't be shipped until you cancel the listing. Bids can't be withdrawn, and an offer reserves its amount for up to 48 hours. Marketplace cards are paid from your cash balance.

How does the Free Pack work?

Free packs come with specific promotions and links, and the offer page says who can claim one. The number of free packs per person is limited, and packs from invites count toward that limit.

Haven't added funds yet? Cards from a free pack are kept for 48 hours and then sold back automatically to your bonus balance, unless you add funds first.

Got a notification but no pack? Some offers have conditions, so a message doesn't always mean a pack was added. Email us at info@gotya.com and we'll check your account.

What is the First Pack Guarantee?

New accounts get a one-time offer on their first paid pack: a single pack up to $100 after discounts, bought within 48 hours of signing up. If the card is worth less than what you paid, you can send it back from the reveal screen and get the pack price back in your wallet.

The money comes back the way you paid: the cash part as cash balance, any bonus part as bonus balance. Cash follows the normal wallet rules, so you can spend it or withdraw it.

It's one per person, can't be combined with bundles and doesn't apply to self-excluded or suspended accounts.

How do giveaways work?

Daily giveaway: open a paid pack while it runs, then press Enter on its page in Giveaways. Every extra paid pack adds one entry, up to 10 entries. Free packs, packs paid only with bonus balance and packs paid mostly with points don't count. The winner is drawn at 20:00 UTC.

Weekly, monthly and collector-hosted giveaways show their own entry rules on their page.

Won a prize? Claim it within 7 days. An unclaimed prize goes back to the host's vault.

How do referral rewards work?

Share your invite link from Rewards. You get a free pack for each friend who signs up through your link while the free pack promotion runs and opens their first pack. Claim it on Rewards.

Free packs per person are limited, and invite packs count toward that limit. Your friend qualified and nothing arrived? Email us at info@gotya.com with your username.
