How ranking works

The bid is the rank.

All prices are shown in UAE dirhams (AED). A new listing starts at AED 50 minimum; the maximum accepted bid is AED 999,999.
Claiming the overall #1 position requires a bid at least AED 50 above the current leader. Bid less and you still appear at the highest position your amount can take.
You can enter your own amount. The + and − controls move by AED 50, but you are not restricted to those preset steps when typing a bid.
Higher confirmed bids rank first. If two listings have the same confirmed amount, the listing confirmed earlier keeps the higher place.
Enter the same complete website or profile URL again to raise its existing listing. A listing belongs to the submitted destination; another business cannot acquire your identity by copying your name.
Category rankings are calculated separately. A business can be #1 in Real Estate while holding a different position on the overall leaderboard.
App Store, Google Play, GitHub, and comparable product-platform pages are identified by their meaningful URL path. Tracking and referral query parameters are removed.

Real businesses. Real destinations.

List a genuine business website, product, startup, professional brand, or complete public profile URL relevant to Dubai or the wider UAE. A standalone @username is not accepted.
Use a destination that accurately represents your business. Misleading names, impersonation, fake endorsements, or deceptive landing pages are not accepted.
Direct chat links and group invites are not eligible, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar services. Link to a proper public website or profile instead.
Adult content, sexual services, exploitative material, and destinations that are inappropriate for a public, Dubai-focused audience are not allowed.
Affiliate links, tracking parameters, referral codes, link shorteners, and redirect chains may be removed or normalized to their final public destination.
A listing must not distribute malware, request sensitive information deceptively, or send visitors to suspicious payment or credential-collection pages.

Respect the city and the audience.

Advertisers are responsible for ensuring their business activity, promotional claims, and online presence meet applicable UAE and Dubai requirements.
Businesses in regulated sectors — including real estate, financial services, investments, healthcare, education, and tourism — should hold any licenses, registrations, or promotional approvals their activity requires.
Claims about guaranteed returns, medical outcomes, property availability, official government relationships, or limited-time offers must be accurate and supportable.
Gambling, illegal goods, counterfeit products, prohibited substances, and other activities incompatible with our platform standards are not permitted.
Respect UAE cultural expectations. Content that is hateful, harassing, discriminatory, excessively explicit, or disrespectful to religion or community values may be rejected.
Do not publish another person’s private contact information, confidential records, or personal images without the necessary permission.
Displaying a UAE flag, authority logo, or official-looking endorsement must not create a misleading impression of government affiliation.

Transparent by design.

The current experience is an interactive MVP. Live payment processing may be introduced later; no live transaction is represented as completed unless checkout is actually enabled and confirmed.
Once payment functionality is available, a completed and confirmed payment — not an unfinished checkout — will determine an eligible listing’s paid position.
Your listing, rank, bid amount, category, and submitted public destination may be visible to anyone who can access the leaderboard.
Any payment, cancellation, or refund conditions will be presented at checkout when paid features are introduced. Do not assume a payment policy that has not yet been published.
A higher rank is visibility, not a promise of traffic, sales, leads, investment performance, or business results.

Competition stays clean.

We may review, decline, hide, or remove listings that violate these rules, appear fraudulent, misuse another brand, or present a risk to visitors.
Automated spam, duplicate identities, artificial click generation, misleading bid manipulation, and attempts to interfere with the platform are not allowed.
A paid position does not override moderation. Eligibility and platform safety remain separate from bid amount.
These rules may evolve as outbid.dubai develops. The current published version applies to new participation.
