These Rules govern Pay4Rank ranking credits and public listings. They work together with the Terms of Service. The leaderboard is a promotional advertising product — not a lottery or raffle. Optional community giveaways, when offered, are run separately and never require a purchase.
1. The product
Pay4Rank sells ranking credits. Each confirmed Stripe payment adds credits to your profile for the weekly or monthly cycle you choose. Higher confirmed credits appear higher on the public leaderboard. Other buyers can overtake you at any time. You are buying visibility, not a chance to win money.
2. Eligibility
Open to individuals who are 18 or older, have a Pay4Rank account in good standing, and can legally complete a Stripe payment. Void where this kind of paid promotion is prohibited.
3. How to buy credits
Sign in, choose weekly or monthly, select an amount in USD, agree to these Rules, and complete Stripe Checkout. Ranking credits equal the confirmed USD amount (one dollar = one credit). An incomplete checkout does not charge you and does not rank you.
4. Cycles
- Monthly. Runs from the first moment of the calendar month through the last moment of that month in the service clock. The top three listings receive Gold, Silver, and Bronze featured placement, badges, and a note in winner history.
- Weekly. Runs until the published Sunday reset. First place receives the Weekly Champion badge and featured placement for that week.
5. How position is decided
Position is the highest confirmed credit total in that cycle. Rank is not drawn at random and does not use odds. Ties are broken by the earlier confirmed Stripe payment. Reversed, charged-back, or fraudulent payments are removed and ranks are recomputed.
6. Featured placement is not a prize
Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Weekly Champion are display titles and extra on-platform exposure included with the listing product. There is no cash prize, no merchandise prize, and no prize purse. We do not pay winners. Featured titles may change if payments reverse or listings are removed for abuse.
7. Publicity
Display names, notes, ranks, credit totals, and optional website links are public on the leaderboard. By buying credits, you grant Pay4Rank permission to show that information.
8. Disqualification
We may remove listings that use stolen cards, bots, collusion, multiple accounts to evade limits, or any other manipulation. Removed purchases are not refunded except where the law requires.
9. Public website links
You may optionally publish an https website on the leaderboard to promote a brand, project, or page you are authorized to share. Links are scanned and may be refused or removed (adult content, malware, shorteners, private or local addresses, and other unsafe destinations). Pay4Rank does not endorse third-party sites.
10. Community giveaways (separate)
Pay4Rank may run optional promotional giveaways. They are not part of ranking-credit checkout and are not a prize for climbing the board. Where a giveaway is offered:
- No purchase is necessary to enter.
- Buying ranking credits does not increase your chance of winning.
- Each giveaway posts its own prize, eligibility, entry period, free entry method, and winner announcement on the Giveaways page.
- 18+ only. Void where prohibited.
11. Responsible use
Buy only what you can afford. Ranking credits are a promotional listing, not an investment, and there is no guarantee you will hold a featured position. Other participants can pass you.
