Rules

viralme.lol is a public pay-to-rank leaderboard. No ads, no algorithms, no revenue share. Your bid is your rank — nothing else decides it.

How ranking works

— Bids are whole US dollars, $2 minimum, $1 at a time.
— Paying less than #1 still earns you a rank at whatever position that bid can take. Equal bids stay in order placed — the older bid keeps the higher rank.
— Re-bid the same URL or handle to reclaim #1. The new bid must be at least $1 above the current top. You only pay the difference — not the full new amount.
— App Store, Play Store, GitHub, and similar platform links are keyed by their path — different apps don't share a bid. Tracking query strings are stripped.
— Hostile Takeover: Pay 5× the current #1 (minimum $50) to lock your listing in the top spot for 3 hours. A live countdown is shown on your entry. Only one takeover can be active at a time.

— Any visitor can boost any listing for $1–$5. The boost is added to that listing's effective bid, making it harder to outbid.
— Boosters support their favourite product without taking ownership of the listing.
— Total boost contributions are displayed clearly on each entry.

— Any listing that holds the #1 spot for 24 consecutive hours earns a permanent 👑 HoF badge.
— The badge stays even if they are later outbid — it's a lifetime achievement.

— Every 24 hours, the total amount spent on the #1 position is recorded.
— 30% of that amount goes into a community creator fund.
— This pool rewards independent creators who make entertaining videos and content about the ViralMe leaderboard game.
— Creators earn from the pool based on verified views and community engagement.
— This creates a self-sustaining social ecosystem: players compete on the leaderboard → the prize pool grows → creators are rewarded for making content → the game grows.
