Rules
A bidder can predict rank from this page alone.
| Currency | Whole US dollars only. |
|---|---|
| Minimum | $5 first bid. |
| Increment | $1. |
| Rank | Rank is the bid. Below #1 still lists at the rank that bid can take. |
| Ties | When bids are equal, the listing placed first keeps the higher rank. |
| Raise | The same listing may raise. To take #1, the new total must be at least $1 above the current leader. The original payer is charged only the difference. |
| Identity | Another bidder cannot steal a listing by paying only that difference. They pay a full new bid. |
| Claim | A completed payment claims the rank. Unpaid checkout does not. |
| Window | Paid placements remain eligible for seven days. The window follows each placement time rather than resetting at Monday midnight. A host lock still closes the episode. |
| Tracking | Tracking, affiliate, and referral parameters are removed from listing links. |
| Shorteners | Not allowed as the stored URL. |
| Chat / adult content | Chat invitations and adult-platform links are rejected before checkout. |
Host veto
Guest-seat auctions allow host review; the 60-second open does not unless the show states otherwise before bidding begins.
Once the first paid bid arrives, that choice is fixed for the episode. The host may veto an eligible guest with a public reason. The row remains visible, ranking is recalculated among the remaining paid listings, and previously paid bids are not automatically refunded. Without host review, the highest paid bid is booked when the episode locks.
