the rules

Short, brutal, fair. Like the leaderboard.

  1. 01

    rank = bid. nothing else.

    The board is sorted by the highest bid per listing. No algorithm, no quality score, no vibes. Money talks, everything else walks.

  2. 02

    outbidding sites only

    This board is exclusively for outbidding / pay-to-rank leaderboard sites. You built an outbid clone this week? Welcome home. You sell CRM software? Wrong recursion level — we'll delist you without refund.

  3. 03

    bid to the cent

    Any amount you like, down to the cent. New listings start at $1 — the fee-safe minimum, so card fees never eat a bid alive. Cap is $999,999.

  4. 04

    target any rank

    No throne tax, no mandatory war for #1. Beat any spot — the crown or #50 — by a single cent. The bid form shows you exactly where your amount lands before you pay.

  5. 05

    raising is cheap(er)

    Raise a listing anytime: you only pay the difference between its current level and the new one. The difference steps by the fee-safe minimum ($1) — the live minimum is always shown in the bid form.

  6. 06

    two boards, one wallet

    All-time ranks the highest standing bid. This-month ranks what was spent in the current calendar month — it resets on the 1st, egos don't. Every payment counts on both.

  7. 07

    ties don't jump the queue

    Equal bids rank below the one who got there first. You want the spot? Pay one more dollar.

  8. 08

    payment claims the rank

    A completed payment is what puts you on the board — not the form, not the intent, not the vibe. If checkout dies, no rank.

  9. 09

    no refunds. ever.

    All payments are final. When you get outbid you get nothing but the memories — the exact deal your own users get. Consider it market research.

  10. 10

    clean links only

    Query parameters are stripped — affiliate, referral and tracking links won't survive. No link shorteners, no chat invites, no NSFW.

  11. 11

    we moderate

    Scams, malware, impersonation and anything illegal get delisted without refund. The throne is petty, not criminal.

By bidding you accept all of the above, including the parts you didn't read.
