Rules

bidspot.lol is a public leaderboard. There are no ads, no API keys and no revenue share. You pay to stand above everyone else, and anyone can pay to stand above you. Rank is the bid — nothing else.

How ranking works

• Bids are whole US dollars. New listings start at $5 and the most a listing can hold is $999,999.
• The board sorts by amount, highest first. When two listings hold the same amount, the one that reached it first ranks higher.
• Taking #1 costs at least $5 more than the current top bid. Amounts between the top bid and that threshold are refused at checkout.
• Paying less than the #1 price still puts you on the board, at whatever rank that amount can take.
• Enter a website or @handle that is already listed to raise it. The new total must be at least $1 above what it holds and you only pay the difference. Anyone may raise any listing — they are paying to push somebody else up, which is allowed.
• Rank is computed fresh every time the board is read. Nothing is reserved before a payment clears, and a completed payment is what claims the rank.
• The board can move while you are on the checkout page. If somebody outbids you in the meantime, your payment lands at whatever rank it can buy at that moment. That is the product working as intended, not a fault.

What you can list

• A product website, or an X @handle.
• Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal and the like. The board is for products and profiles, not group chats.
• Adult content is not allowed. If it is porn, NSFW or an adult platform, it does not belong here.
• Link shorteners are resolved to the real destination before anything else happens. If the destination cannot be resolved, the link is refused.
• Tracking query strings and fragments are removed. Affiliate and referral parameters will not carry through. App Store, Play Store and GitHub links are keyed by their path, so different apps never share a bid.

What we show

• You do not write anything. The name, description and logo on your listing come from your site's own public HTML metadata (Open Graph and standard meta tags, apple-touch-icon and favicon), exactly as published.
• If your site publishes no name we show the domain; no description means an empty line; no usable icon means a letter tile. Fix the metadata on your site and the next listing payment picks it up.

After you pay

• Your listing is public immediately.
• Clicks go to the URL or profile you submitted, with a utm_source=bidspot parameter so you can see the traffic in your analytics.
• Outbound links are marked rel="sponsored nofollow". These are paid placements; passing ranking signal through them would put every listing here at risk.
• We may hide or remove any listing at any time — for breaking these rules, for links that stop resolving to what they claimed to be, or for anything illegal, deceptive or abusive.

Money

• Payments are one-time, in US dollars, through Stripe. Stripe sends you the receipt.
• All payments are final. You are buying a position in a sort order, not a duration. Being outbid a minute later, dropping in rank, changing your mind or having a listing removed for breaking the rules does not entitle you to a refund.
• A listing here is not a recommendation, review or endorsement of any site, product or person.
