Rules & Challenger Manifesto

outbid-eu.lol is created to celebrate and spotlight European startups, tech builders, and products. However, this is an open battleground: anyone from anywhere in the world is free to outbid the board.

Think you run the show? Put your money where your pitch is and take #1. Rank is the bid — nothing else.

Who is this for?

• European Tech & Builders: Proudly fly the EU colors and dominate the leaderboard rankings.
• Global Challengers: From Silicon Valley to Tokyo, anyone worldwide is welcome to outbid European companies and prove who's boss.

How ranking works

• Bids are whole EUR (€), €2 minimum, €1 at a time.
• Paying less than #1 still puts you on the board at whatever rank that bid can take. Equal bids stay in the order they were placed — the older bid keeps the higher rank.
• Enter the same website or @handle again to raise that listing back to #1. The new bid must be at least €1 above the current top bid; you only pay the difference. Someone else cannot take your rank by paying that difference.
• App Store, Play Store, GitHub, and similar platform links are keyed by their path, so different apps don't share a bid. Tracking query strings are ignored.
• A leaderboard takeover costs 5× the current #1 and locks the first page for 3 hours. Only one takeover can be live at a time.

What you can list

• A product website, or an X @handle.
• Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar. The board is for products and profiles, not group chats.
• Links to sexual content are not allowed. If it is porn, NSFW, or an adult platform, it does not belong on the board.
• Query parameters are stripped from listing links. Affiliate, referral, and tracking URLs will not work.

After you pay

• Your listing is public. Clicks go to the URL or profile you submitted, without query parameters.
• A completed payment is what claims the rank.
