The rules

One leaderboard. Your bid is your rank. That's the whole game — everything below is detail.

Ranking

Your amount decides your rank. Pay more than someone and you sit above them. Paying less than #1 still puts you on the board, wherever that amount lands.
Bids stack. A listing's bid is everything it has ever paid, added up. To climb, you pay only the difference — never for the same dollars twice.
Bids are whole US dollars. $2 minimum to join, $1 at a time after that.
Equal bids break oldest-first. Get there earlier and you stay ahead.
A completed payment claims the rank — not a checkout you left open.

If someone outbids you mid-checkout

You are always credited exactly what you paid. If a rank moves while you're on the payment page, your money still lands on your bid — your rank just lands lower than the button said. This is the one thing to understand before you pay: you are buying an amount, not a promise of a position.

Refunds

There are no refunds for being outbid. Getting passed is the product working, not a fault. Bids buy an advertising placement on this board — not a chance of winning anything, and not a subscription.

If you are charged twice for the same payment, or the board never shows a payment that cleared, that is our mistake and we will refund it. Mail us.

What you can list

Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, GitHub, a personal site, or a creator page.

Not allowed:

Link shorteners — paste the real destination.
Chat and invite links (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp and friends).
Adult content.
Malware, phishing, or anything pretending to be someone it isn't.

Listing someone else

You can bid on any public profile, including one that isn't yours — that's part of the format. But if the profile's owner asks us to remove their listing, we will. The bidder is not refunded in that case, so think before you spend money promoting a stranger. Report a listing.

Takeover

A takeover costs 2× the current #1 bid and pins you above the board for 3 hours, capped at $200,000. It does not change anyone's rank — it is a spotlight, not a purchase of #1. If someone else's takeover is already running, yours starts when theirs ends.

Moderation

We can hide or remove any listing that breaks these rules, without a refund. We'd rather not, and mostly we don't have to.
