Rules
All of them. It is a leaderboard where the ranking is bought, and the list below is the entire mechanic.
- 01
Rank is money, nothing else
The board sorts by the total dollars behind a handle, highest first. There is no algorithm, no engagement score, no editorial pick.
- 02
Whole US dollars only
Minimum $5, maximum $999,999, no cents. Every payment goes through Stripe.
- 03
Payments stack on a handle
Pay again on the same Instagram handle and the amounts add up. You never re-buy your history — to pass someone you only cover the gap.
- 04
Taking #1
First place goes to the highest total. To be listed above the current leader you need at least $5 more than their total.
- 05
Ties go to whoever got there first
Two handles on the same total stay in the order the money arrived. The older entry keeps the higher rank.
- 06
Nothing expires
Your listing stays up for as long as the site does. Positions are not rented by the day, week or month, and there is no subscription to cancel.
- 07
No refunds
Being outbid is the product working as described, not a fault. Payments are final once Stripe confirms them.
- 08
No account, ever
There is no signup, no password and no dashboard. Your handle is your identity here; whoever pays for it moves it.
- 09
What can be listed
Public Instagram handles. Anything illegal, sexual content involving minors, impersonation of another person, or content that would get the site removed from Stripe will be taken down without refund.
- 10
The site can remove a listing
Rare, but it happens: fraud, chargebacks, or the line above. A removed listing forfeits its position and its money.
