FAQ
Short answers about how the board works. The Rules and Terms win if anything here conflicts with them.
What is reelbid.lol?
A public leaderboard for short videos, where rank is what you pay. You list one reel, pay an amount, and sit above everyone who paid less. No ads, no notifications, no messages, no login, no signup. We never ask for an email address. The board launched on September 16, 2026.
Is this gambling? Do I win anything?
You are buying one thing: a position on a public leaderboard, and the visibility that comes with it. Nothing else is on offer. There is no prize, no winnings, no payout for the top row, no cash value and nothing to redeem. No money ever comes back to you except a refund of your own payment for a reel we did not publish. Nothing here is decided by chance. This is not gambling, not betting, not a lottery, not a competition and not an investment.
How does it work?
Paste a TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels link, choose an amount, pay. Every submission is checked against the Rules before it goes on the board. If it is not published, you are refunded in full.
How much does it cost?
Whole US dollars, $5 minimum, $999,999 maximum. Taking #1 costs at least $1 more than whoever holds it. Anything less still puts you on the board, at whatever position that amount reaches.
What is the difference between All-time, Today and Daily?
One payment counts on all three. All-time never expires. Today counts only what you spent since midnight UTC and resets at midnight. Daily keeps one board per UTC day since September 16, 2026, frozen once its day closes.
Can I raise my rank after I paid?
Yes. Enter the same reel link again: at least $1 above your current total, and you are charged only the difference. Nobody else can take your rank by paying that difference, and raising a live reel does not send it back to the queue.
Are payments refundable?
Your money is in one of three positions, and it follows the decision about your listing.In review — held, not yet earned.Rejected — refunded in full.Published — not refundable.A listing taken down after publication is refunded in full too. Nothing else creates a refund: not being outranked, not Today resetting at midnight UTC, not fewer clicks than you hoped for, not a change of mind. Nor does a restriction, which holds a listing off the boards and keeps the payment.
When does my reel go live after I pay?
Once it passes. Every submission is checked against the Rules before it goes on the board. If it is not published, you are refunded in full. Paying buys a place in the queue, not a place on a board: there is no set turnaround, and no submission is guaranteed to pass.
How do I check what happened to my reel?
Open /status/ followed by the tracking id on your receipt. There is no login and we never asked for your email, so that id is the only way back to your submission. Save it when you pay.
I paid and my reel is not on the board. Why?
Either it is still waiting on a decision, or it did not pass. Your status page says which, and why. A reel we do not publish is refunded in full. A listing can also be restricted — off the boards with the payment kept — which is our answer to somebody abusing the board, and it is the one case that is not refunded. Lost the tracking id? Email selfbidsupport.lol@gmail.com with your reel link.
Can I list a political, religious or opinionated reel?
Yes. Politics, party affiliation, religion, fandom, praise and hard criticism of public figures and their work are all allowed, and none of them is a reason to refuse a submission. What matters is the kind of claim a reel makes, never the side it takes.
What can I list?
One reel you own or are allowed to represent. Not a profile, channel or feed. Not a chat or invite link. Not a link shortener. Query strings are stripped, so affiliate and tracking links will not work. The Rules list what this board does not carry, and that list is about the video itself, not only your caption.
Can reelbid.lol put a listing above the paid order?
No. There is no position we can hand out. A payment that reaches us by bank transfer is recorded at the amount actually received and ranks on it like any other, so the only thing that moves a listing up is money. We never put a figure on the board that nobody paid.
What if someone else pays while I am checking out?
Your position is set when your payment is confirmed, at whatever the amount then reaches. You still land on the board, just not necessarily where you aimed.
What do you collect about me?
For a submission, a payment or a page view: your IP address as a salted one-way hash plus a truncated network prefix — never the address itself — your browser's user agent and a coarse device class, an approximate country from our host's headers, and the referring page. It is used for fraud prevention, for deciding whether a submission can be published, and for counting visits. It is never sold or shared with advertisers. Request records are deleted after 12 months and page views after 90 days. There are no tracking cookies and no analytics service.
How do I contact you or report a listing?
To report a listing, use the Grievance & Content Complaints page — it says what to send and how long we take. For anything else, email selfbidsupport.lol@gmail.com.
