Rules

BeTheHero is a public visibility leaderboard. Rank is determined purely by your bid. Here's exactly how it works.

1How ranking works

New listings start at a minimum bid of $1.
Every new bid must be at least $1 higher than the current highest bid on the leaderboard.
The highest successful bid receives the #1 position and maximum visibility.
Only successful, confirmed payments affect ranking.
In the event of an exact tie, the earlier successful payment wins — the older bid keeps the higher rank.
Refunded bids no longer count toward active ranking — the next highest paid bid takes that position.

Higher rank = more exposure. The top listings receive the most clicks and views.
To increase your rank, re-submit the same URL with a higher bid.
There is no maximum bid — compete as high as you want.
Each unique URL has one listing. Multiple bids stack on the same listing.

Each unique website URL may only have one listing on the leaderboard.
Variations of the same URL (http, https, www, trailing slash) are treated as identical.
Tracking and affiliate query parameters are stripped from URLs.
To increase your bid, submit the same URL again with a higher amount.

A product website, startup landing page, app, tool, portfolio, or creator page.
Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, etc.
Links to adult, NSFW, or sexually explicit content are not allowed.
Illegal, fraudulent, phishing, scam, or malicious websites are not allowed.
Platform administrators may remove or suspend prohibited listings at their discretion.

Payment is processed through Dodo Payments. All bids are in USD.
A completed payment is what claims and confirms your rank.
10% of every successfully completed payment is automatically allocated to verified charitable causes.
If a payment is refunded, its associated impact allocation is reversed.
Impact allocations are tracked transparently as Allocated → Committed → Distributed.
