Atlas Q+: a fair shot at every limited drop
Nov
Some drops are too good to last. When hundreds of people want the same 40 boxes, the fastest refresh wins and everyone else stares at a loading screen. We don’t think that’s fair, so we’ve launched Atlas Q+.
Atlas Q+ is our home for limited drops, product launches and walk-in spots at big events. Instead of racing for the buy button, you enter a ballot. When it closes, winners are picked at random and get a personal link to buy online. No spamming, no crashes, and the same chance for everyone.
How it works
- Log in to your Atlas account. No account yet? Create one for free
- Open the Ballots page and tap Enter on the drop you want. We email you to confirm your entry
- Wait for the draw. Each ballot shows when it closes. There’s no advantage to entering early, so take your time
- Check your result. If you’re drawn, we email you straight away. Your result also shows on the Ballots page when you’re logged in
- Won? Use your link. Your personal buy link works only on your account, for 1 item, and lasts 24 hours. Pay online and pick up in store
Not picked this time?
You go on the reserve list in the order of the draw. If a winner doesn’t buy in time, their spot passes to the next person on the list, and we’ll let you know by email straight away.
Coming later: walk-in spots for events
We plan to use the same fair draw for limited walk-in places at big events. We’ll announce it when it’s ready.
The fine print
- You must be logged in to enter. One entry per account
- Your account must be at least 1 day old to enter (each ballot shows its rule)
- Staff accounts can’t enter
- Buy links work only on the winner’s own account and can’t be transferred
- Winners have 24 hours to buy. After that the spot passes to the reserve list
- Entering is free, and you only pay if you’re picked and decide to buy
- Drops are pay online, pick up in store, unless the drop says otherwise
- We may cancel entries from duplicate or fake accounts
Why we’re doing this
Our last big drop sold out fast, and plenty of you told us the site was hard to get through. Atlas Q+ means the drop is decided by a fair draw, not by who has the fastest connection. It also keeps the website running smoothly for everyone else shopping or registering for tournaments.
The first Atlas Q+ drop is live: the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Battle Deck. There are two ballots, Umbreon ex and Espeon ex, each for the chance to buy one for RM99. Entries close Tue 10 Nov at 3pm. Enter on the Ballots page.
