Leaderboard rules
Everything about how ranking, bidding and payments work, in plain language.
Last updated: 2026-10-20
Bidding and pricing
Simple fixed bids — never an auction.
Minimum bid
Every listing starts at $10, paid once.
Bid increments
Bids are whole US dollars in $1 steps, up to $999,999.
Taking the #1 spot
To rank first overall you must bid at least $5 above the current #1.
Raising your own bid
When you raise an existing listing you only pay the difference between your new total and what you already paid.
Today vs all-time
The Today board counts bids placed since 00:00 UTC and resets daily. The all-time board reflects every bid ever paid.
How ranking is decided
- Listings are ordered by total bid, highest first.
- When two bids are equal, the one paid earlier ranks higher.
- Rank updates only after payment is confirmed, so concurrent bids resolve by confirmation time.
- The same ordering applies inside each category.
What you can list
You may list legitimate products with a public website URL or a public X account. The description must be accurate. We remove listings that are illegal, infringing, deceptive, adult-only or spam, and may do so without refund where a rule was broken.
Payments
Payments are processed securely by Creem in US dollars. A bid is captured when checkout completes and ranking is delivered immediately. Bids are generally non-refundable; exceptions are described in the Refund policy.
