Terms of Service

OutrankVideo is a public leaderboard for YouTube videos. Creators submit a video, earn credits when people click through to it, and spend those credits bidding for a position on the board. Rank is determined entirely by the size of the current bid — nothing else.

We do not judge, endorse or editorially rank any video. A high position means a creator spent credits, not that we consider the video good.

Credits are internal points, not money and not property. They cannot be bought, sold, transferred between accounts, exchanged for cash, or withdrawn. They exist only to decide leaderboard position.

We may adjust or remove credits in line with the rules published on this site — for example when they expire through inactivity, or when they were obtained through fraud.

Every bid is a fresh, full spend. Placing a new bid deducts the entire new amount from your balance; your previous bid is not refunded, credited back, or counted toward the new one.

Credits spent on bids are never returned — not if someone outranks you, not if you remove your video, not if your video becomes unavailable, and not when it graduates to All-Time Favourites.

One account per person. New accounts receive 60 starting credits once, after verification. Creating additional accounts to claim starting credits or referral rewards is not allowed and may result in suspension.

If you do not sign in for 90 days, unused credits in your account expire. We send reminder emails before that happens, and signing in resets the clock. Expiry affects only unused credits — your videos, click counts and history are unaffected.

When you submit a video you confirm that you own it or have permission to promote it. Each YouTube video can appear on OutrankVideo only once.

Videos must be public on YouTube and must not be age-restricted or marked as made for kids. We also do not accept videos containing or promoting: sexual content, hate or harassment, graphic violence, illegal or dangerous acts, scams or malware, or deliberately misleading titles and thumbnails.

We can remove a listing, suspend it, or suspend an account if these rules are broken or if we receive a valid ownership complaint.

Rewards are for genuine audience attention. Automated clicking, bots, paid traffic services, clicking your own video, and coordinated click exchanges are not allowed.

We filter out repeat clicks from the same person, clicks from the creator, and obvious automated traffic before any reward is calculated. We may cancel credits earned this way and suspend the accounts involved.

We do not guarantee any amount of traffic, any ranking, any earnings, or any result on YouTube. OutrankVideo is a competition between creators, and outcomes depend on what other creators do.

The service is provided as-is. We may change how it works, adjust the reward settings, or discontinue it — we will give reasonable notice of significant changes where we can.

You can request deletion of your account at any time. We may retain anonymised records of leaderboard history, credit transactions and fraud investigations where we need them for the integrity of the platform.

We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.

OutrankVideo is an independent platform. Questions about these terms, or anything else on the site, go to info@outrankvideo.com and we'll come back to you.

Full details of the operating entity and the governing law will be published here in advance of general availability. Until then the platform is offered free of charge, in an early access period, with no fees and no payments taken.
