Rules
Rank is what you pay. Nothing else.
BidKaro is a public leaderboard of paid placements. No votes, no algorithm, no review queue. Every rank on every board is determined solely by the amount paid.
The boards
One payment counts on every board that includes it:
- All-time — everything ever paid for a listing. Never expires.
- Today — spend since 00:00 IST. Resets every midnight IST.
- This week — spend since Monday 00:00 IST.
- Hall of fame — every IST day, frozen once it closes.
- Department, category and city boards — the same totals, filtered.
How ranking works
- Amounts are whole rupees, GST included. The maximum total is ₹99,99,999.
- New listings start at the department minimum: Companies ₹499, Creators ₹199, Businesses ₹299, Professionals ₹499.
- Taking #1 overall costs at least ₹100 more than the current #1. Taking a department's #1 costs at least ₹50 more than its leader.
- Already listed? Enter the same URL or handle again. Your new total must be at least ₹10 higher, and you pay only the difference. Someone else can't take your rank by paying just that difference — they pay their whole amount.
- Equal totals stay in the order they were first placed — the older listing ranks higher.
- Rank is assigned when payment is confirmed, at whatever position the amount supports at that moment. If someone paid more while you were in checkout, you still land on the board — just not necessarily where you aimed.
- Anyone may add to any listing's total. It only ever helps that listing.
What you can list
- A website, or an Instagram, YouTube or X profile that you own or are authorised to represent.
- No chat or invite links (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Messenger, Signal…), no link shorteners, no adult or sexual content, nothing illegal in India, no gambling, betting or real-money gaming, no financial schemes promising returns, no impersonation.
- Query strings are stripped, so affiliate and tracking URLs won't carry through. App stores, GitHub and similar platforms are keyed by path so different apps don't share a rank.
- Local businesses must pick their city.
Paid boosts
- Homepage Spotlight — ₹1,999. 24 hours in the Spotlight strip on the homepage, above the departments.
- Highlighted row — ₹299. 7 days of a saffron-tinted row on every board you appear on.
- Pro profile — ₹999. A richer listing page that works as your SEO landing page.
- Auto-outbid — preload rank credits and set a target rank and a ceiling. When someone passes you, we raise you just enough to retake the target, never above your ceiling.
Boosts change presentation, never order. Rank is only ever the amount paid.
After you pay
- Your listing is public. Visits go to your URL through a tracked redirect that adds
utm_source=bidkaro. - All outbound links are marked
rel="sponsored"as search engines require for paid placements. - Payments are final and not refundable — including when you're outranked, when today's board resets, or when a listing is removed for breaking these rules. See Refunds.
- We may remove listings that break these rules or the Terms. Removed listings disappear from every board.
