Competition rules
One board. Your total decides the rank.
RankByBid is a deterministic paid leaderboard decided by completed payments. These launch rules describe the mechanics; reviewed operator terms, privacy disclosures, processor clearance, and contact details must be published before real checkout is enabled.
New positions start at $5
Choose a whole-dollar public total from $5 to the supported $999,999 ceiling. The interface changes that total in exact $1 steps.
Higher completed totals rank first
The projected rank updates before checkout. If two identities complete the same total, the earlier completed payment keeps the higher position.
A returning identity pays only the difference
Use the same canonical URL or X @handle and the original Polar checkout email. A new identity pays its full selected total; a returning identity must select a total above its current verified total and pays only the difference.
The public identity is resolved before payment
RankByBid reads the public destination, name, description, favicon, or profile image from the entered website or X profile. The preview lets the buyer confirm the correct identity before opening Polar.
One active checkout reserves the selected total
The selected total is reserved for five minutes while payment is attempted. If the placement cannot be fulfilled after payment, the charge enters the automatic refund path instead of silently changing the purchase.
The purchase produces an immediate digital result
A completed move sets a public leaderboard total, corresponding position, contender identity, and move record. It does not buy a prize, investment, revenue share, guaranteed audience, conversion, endorsement, or permanent hold on a rank.
The public directory record persists
Each active identity appears with its tracked destination, current total, takeover history, click totals, and shareable receipts. Rankings and records are subject to necessary fraud corrections and lawful removal requests.
Only safe, lawful identities belong
No malware, impersonation, unlawful products, sexual exploitation, hate, deceptive claims, link shorteners, private-network addresses, or content that infringes another party's rights.
Removal does not rewrite the payment system
Unsafe, unlawful, fraudulent, or materially misleading listings can be disabled. Refunds, disputes, moderation, and data retention follow the final operator terms and applicable law.
