The short version
- · 18+ only, self-certified at signup; accounts we learn belong to minors are closed.
- · Open to adults 18+ internationally, except where prohibited by law or in U.S.-sanctioned countries; cards ship to U.S. and Canadian addresses only.
- · No government ID is needed for everyday use — buying, opening, and selling back. Redeeming a card to have it shipped may require a quick identity check first, or you can wait out a short clearance window instead.
The summary is a courtesy; the full text below is what governs.
1. Age
You must be 18 or older — or the age of majority in your province or territory of residence, whichever is higher — to create an account. Age is self-certified at signup. Accounts we learn belong to minors are closed, with Sparks purchases refunded to the payment source.
2. Location
Creating an account, buying Sparks, and using the shop are open to adults internationally, except where prohibited by applicable law or in countries or territories subject to U.S. sanctions; we do not geo-block by country. Physical shipping, however, is available only to United States and Canadian addresses, as described in Terms §2a. You are responsible for ensuring that using the service is lawful where you live.
3. Account review
For everyday use — buying Sparks, opening packs, selling back, and earning Sparks by completing our offer partners' offers — we do not require government-ID identity verification; an 18+ confirmation and a valid U.S. or Canadian shipping address are all that's needed. Earning Sparks through third-party offers is available only to signed-in accounts and, like everything else here, only to adults 18 and over (Terms §3a(h)). To protect against fraud, when you redeem a card to have it shipped to you we MAY require you to complete identity verification (a government-issued ID and a selfie, processed by our verification provider Stripe), as described in Terms §7; if you prefer not to verify, we simply won't ship that card until you do — it stays in your vault, fully usable — or you can choose to place it in a clearance "box" that unlocks on its own after your recent payments clear their dispute window (~120 days), and nothing else about your account is affected. We also reserve the right to review, pause, or close an account for fraud, abuse, or suspected underage use, and to ask for reasonable confirmation in those cases.
