Rules & Terms of Use
Market Rules
Transparent rules governing bidding, ranking mechanics, daily resets, and fair play on Outbidr.
1. Bidding & Ranking Mechanics
Outbidr is a live, transparent public attention market. Placement on the leaderboard is determined strictly by confirmed bids:
- Minimum Bid: All bids must be whole dollar integer amounts between $1 and $10,000,000.
- Outbidding: To claim a higher rank, your new bid must exceed the target position's current bid by at least $1.
- #1 Position: The highest all-time confirmed bid holds the top spot on the leaderboard.
- Non-Refundable: Bids represent direct purchases of leaderboard attention/exposure. Once an order is paid and settled, bids cannot be retracted or refunded.
2. Daily Competition & Snapshots
In addition to the All-Time board, Outbidr runs a 24-hour daily competition cycle:
- Daily Reset: A new daily competition starts every day at 00:00 UTC and ends at 23:59:59 UTC.
- Daily Champion: The product with the highest confirmed bid placed during that specific UTC day wins the day.
- Permanent Archive: Standings at midnight UTC are frozen into historical snapshots and permanently viewable on the Daily page.
