May 18 marks Riot’s updated Riftbound Catch Up drawing, which now counts only prior Spiritforged and Unleashed Booster Display entries when deciding eligibility.
Community complaints drove the change after players who bought items such as Champion Decks, Vaults or the Lunar Revel Bundle said those purchases unfairly blocked them from Booster Display consideration.
Selected buyers can now remove drawn items from their pre-filled cart, but each removal is final and the product immediately returns to the pool for other players.
The drawing closes May 20, selection emails begin May 26, purchase links expire after 24 hours, and Riot says new anti-bot security features are in place.
Inventory remains split between a Catch Up pool for previously unsuccessful Booster Display entrants and a General pool, with one maximum selection per person across both.
