# Cases & Drops

## Pricing

When selecting a case, you can review the price of each available option together with its reward structure.

**The Standard Case is priced at 0.004 ETH**, offering a lower-cost entry into the same Upgradable Traits reward pool. **The Premium Case is priced at 0.008 ETH**, offering a different probability structure within that same reward pool.

Both cases can receive the same rewards. The difference is the **case price and the drop chance distribution**, not reward access.

This lets you compare **each case by price, drop chances,** and **rarity distribution** before choosing which one to open.

## Cashback System

Each **HotDog Recipe** obtained from a case comes with a <mark style="color:$warning;">180-second</mark> cashback window once it appears.

If you do not want to keep the **Recipe** you received, you can return it to the reward pool and receive 20% of that case’s ETH cost back.

If you do not use the cashback option within 90 seconds, or if you claim your Recipe, the cashback option expires.

## Drop Pool

Through the Drop Pool tab, you can view all available **HotDog Recipes**, **trait categories**, **rarity levels**, and **drop chances** for **both case types**.

The Drop Pool tab helps you compare how the **Standard Case** and **Premium Case** distribute probabilities across the same reward pool.

Premium Case does not unlock a separate reward pool or exclusive traits. It only changes the odds of receiving certain rarity levels.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hotdogs-1.gitbook.io/upgradable-traits/case-and-pool/cases-and-drops.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
