The rules

1. 01

   rank = placement level. nothing else.

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

2. 02

   the big board is for outbidding sites only

   Exclusively outbidding / pay-to-rank leaderboard sites. You built an outbid clone this week? Welcome home. You sell CRM software? Wrong recursion level — we'll remove you without refund. Everyone else: rank your name in the ego arena.

3. 03

   to the cent

   Any amount you like, down to the cent. New listings on the big board start at $1 — the fee-safe minimum, so card fees never eat a placement alive. The ego arena starts at $100. Cap is $999,999 per listing.

4. 04

   target any rank

   No throne tax, no mandatory war for #1. Overtake any spot — the crown or #50 — by a single cent. The order ticket shows 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 must be at least the arena minimum — the live minimum is always shown in the order ticket.

6. 06

   two boards, one wallet

   All-time ranks the highest standing level. This-month ranks what was placed 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 levels rank below the one who got there first. You want the spot? Pay one more cent.

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

   the listing stays. the rank moves.

   When someone places higher you drop a row — the exact deal your own users get. Your listing, link and message stay on the board. This is the product working as described, not a defect.

10. 10

    no refunds. ever.

    All placements are final. The service is delivered the moment your listing appears. Duplicate charges and technical failures are handled — see the refund policy.

11. 11

    clean links only

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

12. 12

    we moderate

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

By placing a listing you accept all of the above, including the parts you didn't read — plus the terms and the refund policy.
