The rules
Every rule here is enforced by the code that ranks the board. The ranking is rebuilt from Stripe payments, so what you paid is exactly what counts.
Listing
A listing costs at least $5. You add your product, the deal, an optional code, an optional end date and a link. It goes live as soon as Stripe confirms the payment. No account is needed.
Ranking
Deals are ranked by the total paid on each one. Ties go to the deal listed first. Anyone can add money to any deal, including yours.
The crown
The first deal listed becomes King of Black Friday. To take the crown, a deal needs a total of 1.5x the King's total, rounded up to the next dollar. A deal that passes the King's total without reaching 1.5x sits at #2.
| King has paid | Total needed to take it |
|---|---|
| $5 | $8 |
| $20 | $30 |
| $100 | $150 |
| $500 | $750 |
| $2,000 | $3,000 |
Your money stays in
There are no refunds when someone passes you. Everything you paid stays on your deal, so moving back up only costs the difference between your total and the spot you want.
The freeze
The board freezes at 11:59pm ET on Monday, November 30, 2026. Payments stop, and the King at that moment stays on the homepage as King of Black Friday 2026.
Removal
Listings must be a real deal on software, an app or a digital product. Fake deals, scams, adult content and anything illegal are removed without a refund.
