Rules

How Rank Arena works

Simple rules, enforced server-side, visible to everyone.

1. Points

Points are an internal promotional utility. They have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn, transferred between users, sold or converted to money.
You receive 100 promotional points once, after verifying your email.
You receive 100 promotional points for each eligible referral: a new member who signs up with your code or link and verifies their email.
Your wallet separates available points from points committed to listings. Committed points are locked to that listing permanently.
Purchasing points is not available while the platform is in demo mode. When it launches, purchases will be processed through a verified provider with signed, idempotent webhooks. Withdrawals will never exist.

Each category (Website, Social profile, Mobile app, Affiliate offer) has its own board. Listings are ranked by total committed points.
Points are committed in steps of 100, up to 100,000 per action, only by the listing owner and only to approved listings.
Tie-break: equal totals keep the listing that reached that total first ahead. To pass the leader you always need strictly more points.
Example: #1 has 500, you have 300. You need 300 (3 × 100) to reach 600 and take #1.
Daily and weekly boards count only points committed inside the current UTC day or ISO week. All-time totals and wallet balances are never reset.
Simultaneous commits are processed one at a time per wallet and per listing inside database transactions. No points can be spent twice.

Every commit, running total and rank change is published on the listing page with a timestamp.
Owners are notified when their listing is overtaken.
Emails, IP addresses, account details and payment information are private. Click counts use rotating hashes, never raw IPs.
Admins approve every listing and can hide content that is illegal, deceptive, adult, malware-related or otherwise unsafe.

Self-referrals and referrals of your own alternate accounts are rejected.
Signups from the same network as the referrer, and more than 20 rewarded referrals per day, are held for manual review.
Abuse leads to reversal of points, suspension and removal of listings.

Submit only URLs you own or are authorised to promote. One listing per normalised URL; tracking parameters are stripped.
Social profiles must be public profile URLs; apps must be Google Play or App Store listing URLs.
Affiliate offers must carry an accurate disclosure. Sponsored placements are always labelled.
Private-network, credentialed or non-HTTP destinations are rejected automatically.
