All of it goes to charity.
outbid.gay is a leaderboard you buy your way to the top of. That part is a straight copy of outbid.lol, and we are not pretending otherwise. The difference is where the money lands.
We never touch the money
When you place a bid you are not paying us. You are sent to Every.org, a 501(c)(3) that processes the donation and grants it to the nonprofit you picked. Your receipt comes from them, the tax deduction is yours, and the funds never pass through an account we control.
That is the whole trick. “100% goes to charity” is not a promise we are asking you to believe — there is no mechanism by which we could take a cut, because we are never holding it.
How the board works
- Your rank is the total you have donated against a given URL or @handle.
- Bidding again on the same URL adds to your total, so you can climb without starting over.
- A spot starts at $5. Paying less than the #1 price still puts you on the board wherever that amount lands.
- A bid only appears once Every.org confirms the donation actually cleared. Nothing gets on the board on the honour system.
Where it goes
You choose the recipient when you bid. Each one is identified by its IRS employer identification number, listed below, so you can look up its filings yourself rather than taking our word for any of this.

What it costs us
Every.org's payment processing fees are covered by the donor at checkout if they choose to, or absorbed by Every.org. We run the site at our own expense and take nothing from any bid. If this ever changes, it will say so here first, in plain language, before it takes effect.
