The arena rules.
Fixed digital service — not gambling
AnimeBid has no betting, wagering, random outcome, odds, prize, cash-out or financial reward. Every confirmed US dollar purchases exactly one fixed ranking point for the anime selected by the buyer. First place has no monetary value or prize.
AnimeBid is one permanent public leaderboard. Rank is total completed power—nothing else.
How it works
- Boosts are whole US dollars, from $5 to $10,000.
- Every confirmed dollar adds one dollar of power to the selected anime.
- The highest total ranks first. If totals are equal, the anime that reached that total first stays ahead. The number of boosts does not break ties.
- New anime may enter with their first confirmed boost. Seasons and cours belong to one main anime profile.
- New checkouts close when combined power reaches $999,999. The leading anime remains provisional for 120 days while refunds and chargebacks are reconciled, then the result becomes permanent.
Community cause commitment
AnimeBid commits 50% of net proceeds to one charity or cause chosen by the community from a reviewed shortlist of 3–5 eligible options. Suggestions do not guarantee inclusion; legitimacy, ability to receive funds and compatibility with the project will be checked before voting. When voting opens, one vote is accepted per browser and connection.
Net proceeds means confirmed receipts after deducting exclusively indirect taxes, payment fees, refunds and chargebacks; 50% of that result is committed to the selected recipient. The public gross counter is informational and is not the final donation amount. The selected recipient and proof of transfer will be published after reconciliation.
Public links
- Public social profiles, channels and websites are allowed, including Instagram and YouTube.
- Community profiles may submit direct Discord, Reddit, Telegram, X Community, Facebook group or website/forum links. The community name may appear after payment, but its link remains hidden until manual review.
- Private or unsupported chat links remain prohibited for individual profiles.
- Sexual or adult-content websites are not allowed.
- Shortened URLs are rejected. Use the final destination.
- Query parameters, including affiliate, referral and tracking codes, are removed.
- Approved links are clickable but are not endorsements or guarantees by AnimeBid.
Power is a ranking score, not a prize, investment or tax-deductible donation by the buyer. These Rules work together with the Terms and Privacy Policy; if they conflict, the Terms control.
