Rules

How Lowbid Works

The lowest unique bid wins.

Pick a number. Keep it secret.
If nobody else picks the same number, you've got a shot at the board.

01 — PICK YOUR BID

Choose one bid within the current round's range.

Round 01
$1–$10
12 hrs or 20 bids
20 spots
Round 02
$1–$100
24 hrs or 20 bids
20 spots

Your bid stays completely hidden while the round is live.

02 — STAY UNIQUE

This is the important part.

If two or more people choose the same bid, all of those bids are eliminated.

For example:

BidNumber of bidsResult
$112❌ Eliminated
$25❌ Eliminated
$31🏆 #1
$41🏆 #2
$53❌ Eliminated

So the cheapest bid doesn't automatically win.

The lowest bid that nobody else picked wins.

03 — WAIT FOR THE REVEAL

When the timer reaches zero—or when 20 bids are placed—all valid bids are evaluated.

The unique bids are sorted from lowest to highest.
The first 20 unique bids take the top 20 spots.

Example

If the unique bids are:

$2 ·$4 ·$6 ·$8 ·$12

The leaderboard becomes:

#1 — $2
#2 — $4
#3 — $6
#4 — $8
#5 — $12

Simple.

The Strategy

You could bid $1.
But so could everyone else.

You could bid $10.
But then you're probably not getting a top spot.

The game is figuring out the sweet spot between low and unique.

Rules

  • One bid per product per round.
  • Bids must fall within the active round's range.
  • Whole numbers only (no decimals).
  • Bids are hidden until the round ends.
  • Duplicate bids are eliminated.
  • Rankings are determined by the lowest unique bids.
  • Once submitted, a bid cannot be changed.
  • The leaderboard is finalized when the timer runs out or 20 bids are placed.
  • Only the top 20 unique bids make the board.

What happens if there aren't 20 unique bids?

Then there simply aren't 20 winners. Only valid unique bids can claim a spot.

What happens after Round 01?

The board closes after 24 hours (or when 20 bids are placed). The first 20 spots are revealed. Then Round 02 opens with:

$1–$100 · 24 hrs or 20 bids · 20 spots

Fresh round. Fresh bids. Fresh strategy.

That's it.

No complicated rules.

Pick a number.

Keep it unique.

Take your spot.
