Rules
GameBids is a public leaderboard. No ads, no accounts, no revenue share. You pay to stand above everyone else. Rank is the bid — nothing else.
How ranking works
- ·New listings are whole US dollars, $5 minimum, $999,999 maximum, $1 at a time. Bids already on the board keep their amount until they raise or get outranked.
- ·Taking #1 costs at least $5 more than the current top bid. Paying less still puts you on the board at whatever rank that bid can take. Equal bids stay in the order they were placed — the older bid keeps the higher rank.
- ·Enter the same website or @handle again to raise that listing to any rank. The new bid must be at least $1 above your current bid — you only pay the difference. Someone else paying that difference doesn’t take your rank away; it raises the same listing.
- ·App Store, Play Store, GitHub, and similar platform links are keyed by app or repo identity, so different apps or repos never share a bid. Tracking query strings are ignored.
What you can list
- ·A game, gaming server, community, streamer, mod, or gaming-related tool — a website, or an X @handle.
- ·Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Messenger, Signal, and similar. The board is for products and profiles, not group chats.
- ·Links to sexual content are not allowed. If it’s porn, NSFW, or an adult platform, it doesn’t belong here.
- ·Query parameters are stripped from listing links. Affiliate, referral, and tracking URLs won’t work.
- ·Link shorteners are resolved automatically — your listing is stored as whatever they redirect to.
After you pay
- ·Your listing is public immediately. Clicks go to the URL or profile you submitted, without query parameters.
- ·A completed payment is what claims the rank — not the form submission.
- ·Something that shouldn’t be here? It can be taken down after the fact — the board isn’t pre-moderated beyond the automatic checks above.
