Riftbound T1 Bundle Second Draw: What Happened and When to Expect - Riftbound TCG

If you entered the Riftbound T1 2025 Worlds Champion Signature Edition drawing and were not selected (like me), don't lose hope, as there is still a slight chance you might get the email tomorrow. Riot has confirmed that another round of the same drawing is happening tomorrow, and if you entered before the original closing date, your name is still in the pool. You have not missed your chance. Here is what happened and what to expect.

What Happened to the Riftbound T1 Drawing Results

After the initial drawing results went out today Riot's Player Security team began investigating screenshots circulating on social media that raised concerns about suspicious activity. After reviewing the full pool of entries and selected accounts, the team identified bot and scalper accounts both among those who were selected and within the broader pool of entries.

Riot's response was swift. Any suspicious accounts that were selected will have their orders voided with those T1 Signature Editions returned to the pool. Suspicious accounts that were not selected have also been removed from the drawing pool entirely ahead of tomorrow's second round.

As Riot put it directly: fighting scalpers and bad actors is an ongoing process as they continuously adapt their tactics. The team is also being careful not to apply security measures too aggressively to avoid mistakenly catching legitimate players in the sweep.

Do You Need to Enter the Riftbound x T1 Draw Again?

No. This is the same drawing pool with the same eligible entries. If you registered before the original closing date on August 17 your entry is still valid and you are automatically included in tomorrow's second round without any additional action required on your part. Simply keep an eye on your inbox.

When Will the Second Draw Emails Go Out?

The second round of selection emails will begin going out on August 21 at 9AM PST. As always check your spam folder and make sure emails from riotgames.com are not being filtered. Once you receive your selection email you will have a 24 hour window to complete your purchase at $360 USD plus shipping before the spot passes to the next person in the pool. Availability remains very limited even after the voided orders are returned to the pool so act quickly if your email arrives.
