Bidding and leaderboard rules

BidGlow promotion contributions never change paid rankings; every paying customer is ranked fairly by real payment amount.

How ranking works

• All bids use whole US dollars.
• New sites start at $5. A bid below the current leader still enters at the position its amount earns.
• Promotion contributions never change paid rankings; every paying customer is ranked fairly by real payment amount.
• To take #1, the target bid must be at least $5 above the current leader.
• Submit the same site again to raise its bid. You pay only the difference; another person cannot take ownership or raise it by paying that difference.

All-time and daily boards

• Promotion contributions never change paid rankings; every paying customer is ranked fairly by real payment amount.
• The Today board ranks UTC-day payments and resets at UTC midnight.
• Daily payments also increase the site’s cumulative all-time bid.

Promotion and points

• Promotion unlocks on the success page after a verified payment of at least $5; a product URL cannot be used to claim access.
• The public referral link may be shared; the private recovery link must stay private.
• Visits, clicks, refreshes, time on page, and passing a bot check alone earn no points.
• A referral that passes Turnstile, behavior, and relationship checks earns 100 pending points after the referred customer’s first real payment. Repeat payments by the same anonymous customer earn nothing extra.
• Low-risk conversions are held 7 days; medium-risk conversions 30 days. High risk, bots, self-referrals, linked accounts, and referral loops earn nothing and may be reviewed.
• Confirmed points automatically count toward the promotion contribution board and spotlight eligibility. No redemption is needed, and paid rankings never change.
• Promotional spotlights use diminishing contribution weights and rotation so no promoter can monopolize visibility.
• A forced refund, chargeback, or payment dispute immediately removes the affected bid and promotion contribution and creates an operations alert.
• Confirmed points permanently count toward the contribution board and spotlight eligibility. They have no cash value and cannot be bought, withdrawn, transferred, or refunded.

Promotion anti-abuse and complaints

• Checks cover Turnstile, visible engagement, interactions, proxy or Tor use, ASN, device and network links, payment status, and anonymous-account relationships.
• Self-referrals, reciprocal referrals, linked-account referrals, and loops up to five levels are rejected or held for review.
• To avoid false positives, a shared office or home IP alone never proves abuse; device, behavior, payment, and relationship evidence are evaluated together.
• Report suspected abuse, false positives, or point disputes through the report and review page Public leaderboards never expose personal identities or complete risk signals.

Anonymous management and recovery

• Promotion accounts, points, and contribution records are stored in the database and are not tied to a browser or recovery link.
• On another browser, open the saved private recovery link directly. After use, it expires and the system creates the next backup link.
• The dashboard can issue a new recovery link; any previous unused recovery link expires immediately.
• If both the management cookie and private recovery link are lost, access can only be reissued from the original payment proof—not from a product URL.

What you may submit

• You may submit a publicly accessible product, service, company, profile, or other lawful website.
• Submit a valid domain, such asexample.com or a complete URL such as https://example.com/path Both formats are accepted.
• App Store, Play Store, GitHub, and similar links are distinguished by path, so separate apps or projects do not share one bid.
• Adult sexual content and gambling, casino, or betting sites are prohibited. Other lawful categories may be submitted.

Link handling

• Query parameters are removed; affiliate, referral, and advertising parameters are not retained.
• Paths are retained, so different product pages on one platform may bid separately.
• After payment, the listing is public and clicks go to the normalized URL you submitted.

After payment

• Only completed payments confirm a bid and occupy a rank; unpaid or expired checkouts never enter the board.
• Clicks are public statistics only. They never reduce bid value and do not guarantee sales, signups, traffic, or search ranking.
• You understand that another site may outbid the current rank at any time.

Payments, refunds, and chargebacks

By completing payment, you confirm the website, bid amount, and ranking rules and authorize a one-time charge. If there is a payment or listing problem, contact us through the report and review page before opening a payment dispute or chargeback.
