Rules

BidTube is intentionally simple: verified money paid determines rank. These rules explain the details that keep that sentence true.

1. Listings

  • Anyone may sponsor an eligible public YouTube channel. Sponsoring does not prove ownership or affiliation.
  • BidTube derives a short public blurb from verified YouTube channel metadata. Sponsors do not write listing copy.
  • The server-derived blurb locks after the first approved payment so later sponsors cannot rewrite it.
  • BidTube may hide or remove illegal, deceptive, impersonating, abusive, or unsafe listings.

2. Bids and rank

  • Targets are whole US dollars. A new listing starts at $1 or more.
  • For a listed channel, you pay the difference between its current lifetime total and your chosen target. A top-up may cost $1.
  • Every approved payment adds the amount actually paid. Concurrent payments may push a channel above either sponsor's quoted target.
  • Paid channels rank by lifetime approved total, highest first. Equal totals favor the channel listed first.
  • Standard bids have no guaranteed duration. Another approved bid may change rank immediately.
  • A projected rank is a quote, not a reservation. Another approved payment may change it before yours completes.

3. Payment confirmation

  • A browser success page never changes rank by itself.
  • BidTube applies a contribution only after an approved, signed server callback passes order, amount, currency, and merchant checks.
  • Duplicate callbacks do not add the same contribution twice.
  • Reversed or charged-back payments are removed exactly once and may change rank.

4. Three-hour takeover

  • A takeover target is exactly twice the current #1 lifetime total. The selected channel pays only the difference from its existing total.
  • The first approved takeover payment receives page one for three hours. Normal bids continue while it runs.
  • If Dodo takeover payments race, the first verified payment wins. Every later racing payment receives no ranking credit and enters automatic full-refund processing.
  • An expired takeover quote cannot activate a takeover. If its payment completes late, it receives no ranking credit and enters automatic full-refund processing.

5. What placement means

BidTube sells promotional placement on bidtube.lol only. A bid does not buy YouTube views, subscribers, endorsement, channel ownership, or favorable treatment from YouTube's systems.
