General FAQs

What is PlayKami?​

PlayKami is a RWA collectibles platform where you can purchase and open digital packs that each contain a real physical item.

Kami means "God" in Japanese, and PlayKami is built to offer an experience that combines nostalgic yet fun entertainment, with the thrill of opening "God Packs" on a 24/7 digital platform.

How does it work?​

All you have to do is to pick and rip your pack!

Every item you see digitally is backed by and corresponds to the real physical item, which you can choose to either:

  • Redeem and ship physically
  • List on our marketplace for others to purchase
  • Sell it back instantly to us

What machines and packs are available?​

We currently have Pokémon and One Piece TCG card packs available but will be expanding to other collectibles soon. Let us know if there are others you'd like to see!

What is the expected value (EV) of the packs on PlayKami?​

The EV for every pack will generally be at least 100% or in many cases, even higher than the actual cost of the pack. You can check the EV for yourself before buying any packs.

Are all physical items real and authentic?​

Yes! We can guarantee the authenticity of every item available on PlayKami. Items are either:

  • Already authenticated by trusted grading services such as PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) and BGS (Beckett Grading Services), or
  • Sourced from trusted suppliers and verified directly ourselves

In the case of TCG slabs, each slab will also come with a unique certificate number that can be checked online to verify that your physical item is indeed authentic, unique, and exactly as displayed on PlayKami.

In what condition are the various collectibles?​

TCG Card Slabs​

These cards are already graded and you can verify their exact condition yourself by looking up their unique certificate number. Generally, all graded slabs offered on PlayKami are in Grade 10 or 9.

Raw Cards​

While we make no guarantees, we make best efforts to check and verify that all cards offered are at least Near Mint in condition.

Near Mint cards are defined as cards that may have slight edge wear or a couple of minor scratches, but overall look nearly unplayed with no major defects.

Can I redeem items for myself? How does that work?​

Of course! That's the beauty of a collectibles platform like PlayKami where you can own your items both digitally and physically as you'd like!

  • All items owned can generally be shipped globally (standard shipping fees apply based on your location)
  • We strive to ship items as soon as possible when redeemed
  • During high volume periods, there may be delays
  • In usual conditions, items should be shipped out within 2 weeks, with arrivals within 1 month

How do I know that my funds are safe?​

For payments made using cryptocurrency:

  • Funds in your wallet will always be safe
  • Monetary transactions are only made at the point of payment and are settled instantly
  • PlayKami uses Privy (acquired by Stripe) for creation and management of accounts
  • All wallets are entirely self-custodial in nature
  • We will never have access to your private keys, nor will we ever touch your funds at any point outside of payment

How do I get funds into my wallet for purchases?​

We currently support USDC stablecoin on the Monad blockchain for purchases.

To begin:

  1. Deposit USDC directly into the wallet address shown
  2. Ensure your USDC is sent on the Monad network
  3. Gas fees for all transactions on Monad will be sponsored by us, so no additional $MON is needed

Other payment methods such as credit card payments will be supported in the very near future!

How do buybacks work?​

We offer a buyback program where you can instantly sell back any of the items to us at 90% of the item's fair market value.

note
  • There is a 7-day time limit from time of opening the pack to accept this offer
  • A small standard service fee will also be charged on buyback transactions

What is the marketplace and how does it work?​

Apart from holding onto your items, choosing to redeem it physically, or selling it back to us instantly, you can also choose to list your item for sale on our marketplace.

PlayKami's marketplace provides a 24/7 trading venue where you can:

  • Put your items up for sale and offers
  • Purchase from others if you see something you like

No fees are charged on marketplace transactions!
