Rules
cc8.cc is one public leaderboard. Your position is decided by a single number: the dollar amount attached to your listing. Nothing else is weighed - not ratings, not downloads, not who you know.
Ranking
- Bids are whole US dollars. A new listing starts at $1; the ceiling for any listing is $1,483,980. Amounts move in steps of $1.
- The board wipes clean every 24 hours: at 00:00 Beijing time (16:00 UTC) all amounts reset and the race restarts from $1. Money already paid stays paid and counts toward all-time revenue.
- To take any spot - including #1 - you only need to match the amount sitting there. Bidding less is fine too: you simply land wherever your amount fits.
- Listings keep their amount until the owner raises it or someone passes them. When two listings hold the same amount, the newer bid ranks ahead - so matching a price takes that place.
- Submit the same link again to raise your own listing. Your new total has to be at least $1 above what you already hold, and you are charged only the difference. Nobody else can leapfrog you by paying that gap; a different listing always pays its full bid.
- Listings are keyed by App Store id, domain+path, or @handle, so everything has exactly one spot. Tracking parameters, locale prefixes and affiliate tokens in links are ignored.
What can be listed
- Any iPhone or iPad app live on the App Store: paste its
apps.apple.comlink, its numeric id, or search by name. Icon, name, description, rating and screenshots are pulled from the App Store at bid time and refreshed on every raise - you cannot supply your own copy or images. - A product or creator website (https URL), or an X @handle. Websites show their favicon and the description you write at checkout (max 140 chars).
- Chat and invite links are not accepted (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, QQ, WeChat groups, Signal and similar). Sexual content, gambling, and anything unlawful in the operating jurisdiction is not accepted and will be removed without refund.
- Apps pulled from the App Store or links that go dead may be removed without refund.
Once you have paid
- Your rank is claimed the moment the payment completes - not when checkout opens.
- The listing is public. Every click goes to your link through a counted redirect, and click totals are shown on the board.
- Bids are not refundable when you get outbid. Being passed is the whole game; raise your bid to climb back.
Payments & disputes
- Checkout is handled by the payment provider acting as merchant of record. By finishing a checkout you confirm you chose the amount yourself, that it buys a position on a public board rather than a product or service, and you authorise the charge.
- A position can be overtaken at any time by a higher bid. That is not grounds for a refund or a payment dispute.
- If something went wrong - a double charge, a listing that never appeared, a payment that didn't apply - contact support first. We resolve genuine errors quickly; a chargeback filed without contacting us may remove the listing.
- Nothing here limits rights that can't be waived under your local consumer law.
