Rules
pinit.lol sells advertising placements. This page explains exactly what you are buying and how it works.
This is an advertising purchase, not gambling
When you pay on pinit.lol, you are buying a 24-hour promotional placement on one country’s leaderboard: a fixed, disclosed product with a fixed duration, exactly like buying a billboard slot or a sponsored listing. It is not a bet, a wager, a prize draw, or a game of chance: there is no random outcome, no house edge, and nothing is won or lost by luck. The rank you receive is determined entirely by the amount you choose to pay, a rule stated up front before you pay it.
How rank is decided
Within a country, active placements are ordered by stake amount, highest first. Every new placement must stake at least the required amount: the current top stake plus $1, or the $1 starting stake when the country has no active leader. A new placement therefore enters at #1 the moment it is confirmed, and keeps that spot only until someone else pays the then-required stake; nothing about a placement is ever a guaranteed or held rank. Staking more than required is allowed and raises what the next challenger must pay. Tie-break: if two placements ever have the exact same amount, the one confirmed earlier keeps the higher rank.
Launch campaign
pinit.lol runs a one-time launch campaign with three one-way phases. Bootstrap: the first 100 eligible country starts can place for free: a $0 placement labeled Launch-sponsored, with no payment, one per country, one promotion per product URL, and one free launch placement per network. Paid placements during bootstrap can still receive up to $1 credit on a URL that has never been promoted; the credit reduces cash due, not the recorded stake, and cash never drops below $1. A free placement competes like any other and keeps its permanent record; outbidding a $0 leader costs the standard increment. Launch credit: for 10 days after the free spots are claimed, new URLs still receive a one-time credit of up to $1; no new $0 grants. Standard: full price, no promotions. Which phase, if any, is active right now is computed from live server state and shown in the claim flow before you pay; this page does not state it.
Payment does not guarantee traffic or clicks
Paying for a placement guarantees exactly one thing: that placement, at that rank, for 24 hours. It does not guarantee any number of page views, clicks, or conversions. Outbound clicks are counted and shown publicly on your profile page as a transparency measure, not as a promise of a minimum amount.
Every placement expires after 24 hours
A placement lasts exactly 24 hours from the moment its payment is confirmed, then automatically stops appearing on the active leaderboard. This happens by the leaderboard’s own query logic, not a background job that can be skipped or delayed. It is never deleted: every placement remains visible, permanently, on that country’s history page, with its real stake amount, start time and end time. Buying a new placement does not extend an existing one; it is a new, independent 24-hour placement, and if it is for the same profile in the same country it replaces your own prior active placement there.
Refund policy
A confirmed placement is not a reservation and is not refunded simply because it was later outranked. That is the ordinary, disclosed outcome of a public leaderboard. We do process refunds at our discretion, most commonly for a duplicate or clearly mistaken payment, or where required by our payment processor’s own policies. A refund immediately removes the placement from the active leaderboard; the placement and its payment record remain permanently in that country’s history, marked as refunded. Refunding a purchase does not erase the historical fact that it happened.
Moderation policy
Submitted URLs must point to a real, generally accessible destination. We may remove a placement from the active leaderboard, block a profile from future placements, or block a domain outright, for example for illegal content, malware, deceptive links, or abuse of the ranking mechanic, without a refund. Moderation only ever affects live visibility: the underlying payment and placement records are never deleted, and remain in that profile’s and country’s history.
No accounts, no warranty
There is no sign-up, login, or user account of any kind. A product URL or social profile, and a stake amount, are the only inputs a visitor provides. pinit.lol does not vouch for, endorse, or verify any profile listed on the site; every listing is visitor-submitted and paid for.
Frequently asked questions
pinit.lol is a global, country-based 24-hour pay-to-rank advertising board. Pick a country, stake money on a product or social profile, and hold a rank for exactly 24 hours.
How does pinit.lol ranking work?
- Ranking is based entirely on how much each placement staked, highest amount first. Every new placement must stake at least the required amount (the country's current top stake plus $1, or the $1 starting stake when the country has no active leader), so a new placement always enters at #1 the moment it is confirmed. Staking more than required is allowed and raises what the next challenger must pay. If two placements ever carry the exact same amount, the one confirmed earlier stays ranked above the newer one.
How long does a placement last?
- Every placement lasts exactly 24 hours from the moment its payment is confirmed. A placement cannot be extended in place. Buying another one starts a brand new 24-hour placement, and can supersede an existing active placement by the same profile in the same country.
How do country leaderboards work?
- Each country has exactly one leaderboard, built from every currently active, unexpired paid placement in that country, ordered by stake amount. The full leaderboard is publicly listed with pagination, not just a top 10, so every active placement stays discoverable.
What happens after 24 hours?
- The moment a placement's 24 hours are up, it stops counting toward that country's ranking automatically, whether or not any background job has run. The leaderboard query itself excludes it. It disappears from the live board but is never deleted: it stays visible in that country's history, permanently, alongside every placement that ever ran there.
How is #1 decided?
- #1 is whichever active, unexpired placement currently has the highest stake in its country. A new placement always takes #1 the moment it is confirmed, because the required stake is the current top stake plus $1, or the $1 starting stake in a country with no active leader, and it keeps #1 only until someone else pays the then-required stake. On a tie, the earlier-confirmed placement stays #1.
