Outbid Sponsorship Engine

Outbid Sponsorship Policy

The Outbid engine is a gamified sponsorship marketplace where brands compete in real-time for high-visibility #1 leaderboard spots.

1. Minimum +$1 Outbid Buyout Rule

To claim the #1 sponsor rank, a competitor must bid at least +$1 higher than the current leader's total spend. Upon successful payment, the leaderboard card immediately updates with the new brand's tagline and URL.

2. Top-up Difference Discount for Fallen Leaders

Previous sponsors whose rank was claimed by a rival do not need to repay the full amount. They can reclaim #1 rank by simply paying the difference between their previous spend and the current leader's bid.

3. Content Moderation & Non-Refundable Removal

All submitted brand names, taglines, and URLs are automatically scanned. Any submission containing prohibited content will be immediately revoked without a refund:

Illegal gambling, scams, or fraudulent financial schemes
Hate speech, harassment, or adult / NSFW content
Malware, viruses, or phishing link targets

4. Strict Decoupling from Poll Results

Sponsorship payments only acquire advertising placement. Under no circumstances can sponsorships buy votes, alter percentages, or manipulate battle outcomes.
