Rules
The rank is the bid. Nothing else.
A public leaderboard with no ads and no revenue share. You bid to move ahead, and every listed product is halal-verified before it shows up.
Bidding
- Bids are in whole dollars: minimum $5, in steps of $1.
- Taking rank #1 costs at least $1 more than the current top bid.
- Bidding less doesn't lock you out: you're placed at the rank your bid allows.
What you are charged, and when
- Checkout places an authorisation hold on your card. No money moves at that moment.
- The hold becomes a charge only when your tenure starts — the instant you know your rank, your 24h and your price.
- If you are outbid before the cycle closes, or the product doesn't pass verification, the hold is released. Nothing was taken, so nothing has to be given back.
You're only charged if you win the cycle. A bid beaten before close is never taken.
Tenure
- A rank is rented for 24h, and it is guaranteed: nobody can displace you during your tenure, however much they bid.
- Bids placed while a cycle is running compete for the next one. The queue is public.
- When a cycle closes, the highest bidders take ranks 1 to 10 in descending order of amount.
Halal verification
- Before publishing, an independent board reviews the product and its business model.
- Rejected: riba (interest), forbidden products, gambling, immodest content.
- The "Halal verified" badge can be pulled if a product changes nature. If that happens during a paid tenure, we refund the time you did not get, pro rata to the hour. That is an obligation under the rental, not a gesture.
The two views
- Today shows every product holding a rank in the running cycle, across all categories.
- Each category has its own leaderboard and its own rank #1.
- A product holds one category at a time.
What's not allowed
- Chat, invite or immodest links.
- Misleading redirects or fake landing pages.
- Products claiming a halal certification they don't hold.
