Rules
The board follows the published rules below. There are no hidden ranking factors: rank is the bid.
Product and payment
No ads. No API keys. No revenue share.
Waffo is the only live payment provider. A listing settles and appears on the board
only after a signed order.completed webhook with a valid signature from
Waffo is verified. A browser return, failed payment, or incomplete checkout never
settles or ranks a listing.
Ranking
- Listings are ordered by bid from highest to lowest.
- Bids use whole US dollars. Minimum $5; step $1.
- When bids are equal, the listing placed first keeps the higher rank.
- A bid below the current #1 still appears at the rank that amount can take.
- Rank changes only after payment is confirmed. An incomplete checkout never appears.
- Clicks, recency, and editorial preference never affect rank.
Example, same day:
| Order placed | Bid | Rank |
|---|---|---|
| A | $20 | #1 |
| B | $12 | #2 |
| C | $12 | #3, because B was first |
| D | $5 | #4 |
Raises
- The same product link on the same day raises the existing listing instead of creating a duplicate.
- The new total must be at least $1 above that listing’s current bid.
- The original payer is charged only the difference between the current and new bid.
- To take #1, the new total must be at least $1 above the current leader.
- A different seller submits a new listing and pays the full bid; they cannot take over somebody else’s listing for the raise amount.
Product links
- Use a secure, public product page.
- Tracking, referral, and affiliate parameters are removed.
- Link shorteners, chat invitations, and adult content are rejected.
- Private, local-only, credentialed, or otherwise unsafe destinations are rejected before checkout.
- Products are identified by their cleaned destination, so tracking variants do not create duplicate listings.
Daily cover
| Timezone | This board follows UTC. |
|---|---|
| Reset | A new cover starts at 00:00 UTC. Yesterday’s placements do not carry into today. |
| Cover | The current #1 listing is today’s cover. If no placement is paid, the cover remains empty. |
| Last 24 hours | The activity strip is a rolling view of recent paid listings. It is not a second cover and does not change today’s winner. |
| Return tomorrow | A product that returns on a new day places a new full bid of at least $5. |
Clicks
- Every listing shows a public click count beginning at 0.
- Outbound clicks go to the cleaned product link.
- Clicks never change rank.
