Plain English, not legal text. This is what we’ve decided so far — the actual Terms are a separate, lawyer-checked document that doesn’t exist yet.

Rule 01

The start

Everyone starts with exactly $1. Bill Bucks are your score in the Race: 1 Bill Buck = $1 you actually have, settled. Got $27 settled? That’s 27 Bill Bucks, shown as 27X.

Bill Bucks name your real money. They are not something to buy, spend, transfer or cash out.

Rule 02

The five moves

  1. Buy — spend settled money. Moves money.
  2. Sell — trade something for money. Moves money.
  3. Swap — trade something for something else, no cash. Cash alongside a swap counts as a separate buy and sell.
  4. Fix — repair, clean or improve something you hold. Doesn’t move money by itself.
  5. Make — build something from what you’ve got. Doesn’t move money by itself.

A trade is any exchange between two players — Bill logs both sides.

Rule 03

Settling

  • Sales settle 7 days after the trade is logged.
  • Only settled money can be spent on your next move.
  • Anything you’re still holding counts as zero until you sell it.

Rule 04

The leaderboard

  • You keep what you make — that’s the whole deal.
  • Nobody gets knocked out. Ever.
  • Top-100 and top-10 cut lines are posted every Friday.
  • The Movers ladder resets every Monday.
  • New players race their own Flight for their first two weeks.
  • The final week is Last Call: sell only, no buying sprees.
  • Milestones sit at 2X, 10X and 100X and never move.

Rule 05

Evidence

  1. Bill-code photo when an item is logged.
  2. Buyer confirmation on every sale.
  3. Extra proof required for big moves.
  4. The top 10 get audited.
  5. 5% of everyone else gets randomly audited.
  6. Three strikes on faked evidence and you’re out for the season.

Rule 06

The Bin Chicken Ladder

An upcycled sale — the item went through a Fix or Make move — scores 1.5 Bin Bucks per $1 of margin (sale price minus what you paid), once per item, with a before/after photo.

Bin Bucks are ladder points, not dollars. They are separate from Bill Bucks and do not change X. Weekly leader is Bin Chicken of the Week; season leader is Best Bin Chicken and gets the Golden Drumstick (a title, not a real drumstick).

Rule 07

Age & safety

  • The public leaderboard is 16+.
  • 16–17-year-olds show under a Bill-made alias.
  • 13–15-year-olds play in private leagues with people they know.
  • No open chat — only Bill Says, a fixed set of phrases.

For 13–15-year-olds, trading is cash only and a parent or guardian confirms before they start.

See Parents & guardians for the full breakdown.
