House edge

How do we calculate house edge?

Courtyard hasn't published per-game house edges, and we haven't checked them on the site yet. We only list edges the site states itself or that we work out from its own odds and payouts.

The share of every bet the site keeps on average. Lower is better for you.

How popular is Courtyard?

Courtyard is too small or too new for public traffic estimates yet.

Gambling sites often reward players for reviews, and people who lost review more than people who won. Trustpilot is one input to our trust score, not the verdict.

Courtyard in 2026

Courtyard sells digital packs backed by real graded cards: Pokémon, sports, and now sneakers and watches too. Every card you pull exists as a slab in a Brink's vault, as a token on Polygon. You can keep it there, trade it on the marketplace, have it shipped or sell it back.

The bonus

No Betrefs code. Instant buyback at 90% of market value, sometimes boosted (the 'Ghost' pack runs at +5% buyback).

Games

Pokémon packs, sports packs, a marketplace and leaderboards, plus events like Pokémon Vintage.

Payments and cashing out

Pay with card or crypto. Sell back at 90% or ship the card. You don't need to understand crypto to use it, but it's on-chain underneath.

Design and UX: 7.5/10

A dark app-style layout with a sidebar, a fiery hero for the current pack and a "Just Pulled" row of real slabs. Polished, like a proper trading card app.

Trust

A real company with real cards in a real vault. The complaints are about marketplace fees and bots sniping listings. The 90% buyback caps your downside, but packs still lose money on average.

Verdict

The most trustworthy way to rip graded Pokémon cards online. Treat it as entertainment.
