Being a Riftbound organized play store provides you access to exclusive organized play events, promotional support, marketing materials, and access to our LGS Support Team.

Boss Stage, Inc. will ship all promo materials to your store through our logistics partners, rather than your distributor. Once your store’s kit has shipped, you will be receiving a tracking confirmation from one of our two logistics partners based on your region:
- UK, Europe, and Middle East: Fulfilled by Meeples, tracking emails will come from logistics@meeples.nl
- All other regions: Fulfilled by Cardeio, tracking emails will come from tracking@shipstation.com

Choosing a preferred distributor determines which distributor will fulfill your Pre-Rift Event Kits. For exact details, please contact your distributor directly.
First, please be sure to check your packages closely as packaging can be very similar and easily confused. After checking, if you confirm there is an issue, please send a photo of your shipment contents to LGS@UVSGames.com for confirmation.

You are welcome to buy or trade for promo cards from players, as long as those promos have gone out for the appropriate use at first. However, as a store you should do everything you can to avoid the appearance of wrongdoing. If players think that you are handing out promos inappropriately, this can lead to a negative reputation for your business, or even reports from players to Boss Stage, Inc. that we will have to investigate accordingly.
If you have excess promos, you should hold those for use at any future event. Similarly, we recommend taking care to avoid the appearance of wrongdoing and ensure that you are making an effort to run the events you schedule.
The following events have specific registration windows:
- Pre-Rift Events
- Nexus Cup
- Challenge Series
Retailers can learn when these windows are open by reading the weekly Riftbound Retailer Newsletter (sign up HERE)
Nexus Night scheduling is fully open and not set-specific. Stores will be sent promo packs on a rolling basis, with quantities determined by reported in-store play.
If you missed a registration window, we’re sorry but we cannot facilitate late signups or kit shipments.
