Terms of entry.
This is the contract between you and the operator of outpulled.lol. It sits alongside the Rules, which describe the game itself and form part of these terms, and the Privacy notice. Last updated 26 August 2026.
These terms
These terms are an agreement between you and the operator of outpulled.lol: Unchain Labs LLC of 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA, contactable at hello@outpulled.lol. A small number of terms below remain marked as unsettled; those are named at the foot of this page and nowhere else.
You accept these terms by entering a season — that is, by completing payment for a lane. If you do not accept them, do not enter. Visiting the site, following a pull link, or being counted as a visit on someone else's lane does not make you a party to this agreement.
The Rules page is incorporated into these terms in full. Where the two differ on a matter of game mechanics the Rules govern; where they differ on a legal term this page governs.
What outpulled is
outpulled is a contest of skill. Entrants buy a lane on a public board and then compete, over a 7-day season, to bring the largest number of verified human visitors to that board through a pull link that is theirs alone. The three highest counts at the end of the season are paid from the prize fund.
No chance event determines any placement. There is no draw, no ballot, no randomiser, no lottery, no wheel and no random multiplier anywhere in the scoring of this contest. Rank is the count of verified pulls an entrant generated through their own effort, and nothing else.
Four things follow from that, and each is a term of this agreement rather than a description of one:
- The criteria are objective and published before you enter. What counts as a verified pull is set out in full at /rules — a 5-second dwell, a passed Cloudflare Turnstile check, one count per visitor per lane per UTC calendar day, and no known bot. Nothing is scored on taste, on the operator's opinion, or on an undisclosed weighting.
- The outcome is under your control. Your score is a function of the promotional work you do. It is not a wager on the performance of anyone else, and no third party's result determines yours.
- The tie-break is deterministic. Equal counts are separated in favour of the lower lane number — the entrant who claimed earlier. It is not a coin toss, a draw, or a random selection, and it never will be, because a random tie-break would decide money by chance.
- Money cannot buy rank. Lane price, the sponsor billboard and sponsor top-ups to the prize fund have no effect on any entrant's position. A lane bought at the highest tier price and a lane bought at the lowest start on exactly the same number: zero.
What this is not
It is not a lottery, sweepstakes, raffle or game of chance. Because no part of placement is decided by chance there is no probability of winning to state — there is a published standard to meet. The operator does not publish odds, and any figure presented as “the odds of winning outpulled” did not come from the operator.
It is not a bet or a wager. You are a contestant in the contest, not a spectator staking on a contest between other people. Your entry fee buys a lane in a 7-day season; it is not staked on a contingent event.
It is not a pyramid, endless-chain or multi-level marketing scheme. Visitors you refer pay nothing, cannot enter or earn through your link, and cannot recruit anyone. There is no downline, no recruitment commission, and no payment of any kind that depends on anyone else joining. The field is capped at 100 lanes and the prize fund is shared among the top three of that capped field.
It is not an investment and no return is offered, promised or implied. Most entrants receive no prize.
Who may enter
You may enter only if you are at least 18 years old — 19 if you are a resident of Alabama or Nebraska, 21 if you are a resident of Mississippi — and are entering on your own behalf or on behalf of a business you are authorised to bind.
Void where prohibited or restricted by law. Contests that charge an entry fee are treated differently from state to state, and in some places may not lawfully be offered at all. Entry is not open to anyone in a jurisdiction where this contest, or the payment of a prize funded in this way, would be unlawful.
You are responsible for the law where you are. The operator cannot advise you on it. If entering, promoting your lane, or accepting a prize would breach a law, a regulation or a rule of a platform you use, do not enter.
The operator may decline an entry, refund it, or exclude entrants from a jurisdiction where the contest cannot lawfully be offered. Where an entry is declined on this ground before the season ends the fee is refunded in full — an entrant excluded for reasons of geography has broken no rule and keeps no benefit.
The operator, and members of the operator's immediate household, may not win a prize. Where the operator holds a lane for testing or demonstration, that lane is ineligible for the prize fund: its placing is passed over at payout and the lane below moves up.
Excluded jurisdictions — provisional, requires counsel's confirmation
The research behind this page identifies the following as places where charging an entry fee for a skill contest is prohibited, restricted, or the subject of an adverse Attorney-General opinion: Colorado, Maryland, Nebraska, North Dakota, Vermont, New Jersey and Tennessee; Arizona, where an intellectual contest charging consideration requires registration with the Attorney General before it opens; Illinois, where the gambling statute has been read to reach games of skill played for money; and Connecticut, which restricts advertising a contest charging consideration where the prize exceeds $200 in value — a threshold any real season here will cross.
Those lists come from practitioner sources that conflict with each other at the edges, and one of them (Vermont) is contradicted by the state's own statute. Which states to exclude is an attorney's decision, not a research decision — it needs a fifty-state statutory survey. Until that decision is made and this block is replaced with a settled list, the exclusion mechanism above is in force but no specific list is published.
Lanes, price and payment
A season offers up to 100 lanes. Your lane number is the order in which your payment was confirmed, and the price depends only on that number:
- Lanes 1–20 — $29
- Lanes 21–40 — $49
- Lanes 41–60 — $79
- Lanes 61–80 — $129
- Lanes 81–100 — $199
If every lane sells before a season ends the operator may open up to 50 further lanes at a flat price. That is a decision the operator may take, not an automatic rollover, and the overflow price is published on the Rules page before any overflow lane is sold.
Entry is one-time, per listing, per season. Payment is taken by Stripe. Card details are entered on Stripe's own hosted checkout and never reach this site. Your lane exists from the moment Stripe confirms the payment, which is also the moment your pull link, manage link and battle card exist.
If the board fills between the moment you begin checkout and the moment your payment is confirmed, no lane is assigned and the payment is refunded in full, automatically.
Prices are in US dollars. Any currency conversion, foreign transaction fee or card fee your bank applies is yours.
How rank is decided
Rank is the count of verified pulls attributed to your lane in the current season, highest first. A visit becomes a verified pull only when every condition published at /rules is met: arrival through your pull link, at least 5 seconds on the board, a passed Cloudflare Turnstile check, not already counted for your lane on the same UTC calendar day, and not a known bot.
Ties are broken in favour of the lower lane number. That is deterministic, published in advance, and known to both entrants before either of them enters. It is not a draw.
Nothing else may modify rank. There is no admin override, no boost, no paid placement, no editorial ordering, and no adjustment for effort, sympathy or seniority. The only human act that can change a standing is removing pulls that fail the published verification criteria — clause 8.
Raw clicks and verified pulls are both displayed at all times. The difference between them is not hidden, and only verified pulls decide rank.
Rules do not change during a season. The criteria in force for a season are the ones published when that season opened. The only exceptions are correcting a material error and acting to protect the integrity of the contest — clause 18.
The prize fund
The prize fund — called the pot on the board — is 30% of every entry fee collected in that season, plus any sponsor top-up, which enters the fund in full and is displayed with the sponsor's name.
The prize fund is not a fixed or guaranteed amount. It is calculated from the lanes actually sold, so it grows as a season fills and it is smaller in a season that does not. Enter on the formula and on the figure shown at the moment you enter — not on any larger figure you have seen anywhere else.
The fund is displayed live on the board and derived from real sales rather than announced separately, so there is no advertised figure that can disagree with it. It is fixed at the moment the season ends, and no entry or top-up after that point changes it.
It is divided among the top three finishers:
- 1st — 60% of the fund, plus the next season's billboard slot free
- 2nd — 25%
- 3rd — 15%
Fourth place and below receive nothing. Most entrants will not win a prize. Nothing in these terms, on the board, or in any promotional material is a representation that you will place, that you will recover your entry fee, or that any level of traffic is achievable.
What the operator keeps
This clause exists because you are entitled to know it before you pay, not after.
30% of your entry fee goes to the prize fund. The operator keeps the other 70%. The operator also decides which pulls are void. Those two facts together mean the operator has a financial interest in a contest it also officiates.
That conflict is real, and it is disclosed here deliberately rather than buried. Three things constrain it, and each is enforceable against the operator as a term of this agreement:
- Voiding a pull never returns money to the operator. The prize fund is 30% of entry fees however many pulls are voided. The operator's share does not increase by one cent if an entrant is voided, disqualified or removed, and the whole fund is paid out in every season that runs to its end.
- The operator cannot enter to win. Clause 3 bars the operator and their household from taking a prize.
- Voids are public. Every void is written to the public activity feed with its count and its reason, at the time it happens — clause 8. An officiating decision taken in the open is one an entrant can challenge.
The operator's other revenue is the single labelled sponsor billboard above the board, sold at a fixed price per season. It buys that box, and it can never touch the board below it.
Verification and voids
Traffic that fails the published verification criteria does not count. Where a batch of pulls was manufactured rather than earned, the operator removes those pulls. This clause is the limit on that power.
What may be voided
Only pulls that fail a published criterion may be voided, and a void is scoped to those pulls. Clean pulls on the same lane survive. Your lane is not forfeited, your listing is not removed, and your entry fee is not affected because part of your traffic was voided. There is no penalty beyond removal of the pulls themselves.
The criteria are the ones published at /rules before the season opened, plus the conduct listed in clause 10. The operator will not invent a criterion mid-season and apply it backwards.
How a void is announced
Every void is published on the public activity feed with its count and its reason at the time it is made. Corrections happen in the open. If pulls are removed from your lane you will be able to see that they were, how many, and why.
Disqualification
Disqualification — losing a prize placing entirely, rather than losing the tainted pulls — is reserved for the case where an entrant's counted traffic was substantially manufactured, and that is the only circumstance in which it may be applied. A disqualified entrant forfeits any prize and the lane below moves up. The operator reviews the top three lanes by hand before any money moves, which is why voids remain possible after a season ends; that review window closes when the payout is made.
The operator does not hold an unlimited discretion here. Pulls are voided against the published criteria or not at all, the grounds are given, and clause 9 is how you contest the decision.
Appeals
If pulls are voided from your lane, or you are disqualified, you may contest it. Write to hello@outpulled.lol quoting your lane number, and say what you think happened.
The operator undertakes to:
- Read what you send and consider it. If you provide material about where your traffic came from, it is looked at rather than dismissed unread.
- Tell you which criterion the voided pulls failed, and how many were removed.
- Reverse the void if the decision was wrong, restoring the pulls and the placing that follows from them.
- Reply before the prize is paid, where the void could affect a top-three placing and you write within the review window.
The operator does not promise to agree with you. It promises to look properly, and to answer.
Reversal restores the count, not automatically the money. If a void is reversed after a prize has already been paid to someone else, the operator cannot recover it from them; what you are owed instead is dealt with in clause 12.
Prohibited conduct
Pulls obtained by any of the following are not earned traffic and are voided:
- Automation of any kind — bots, scripts, headless browsers, emulators, or click-generation services.
- Paid click traffic, traffic exchanges, click farms, or any service that sells visits.
- Incentivised clicking — offering money, entries, rewards or anything of value in exchange for someone following your pull link.
- Proxy, VPN or device rotation used to defeat the one-count-per-day rule, and any other attempt to appear as more visitors than you brought.
- Misrepresenting outpulled, its prize fund, or what a visitor will find, in order to obtain a click.
- Promotion that breaches a platform's rules, constitutes spam, or is unlawful where it is published.
- Interfering with the site, the board, another entrant's lane, or the verification pipeline.
This list is the standard. An entrant is judged against it and against the verification criteria on the Rules page — not against an unpublished one.
Your listing
You provide the name, link, description and taunt line that appear on your lane, and you may edit them from your manage link at any time. You are responsible for that content, and you confirm you have the right to use it and that it is not unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or an impersonation of someone else.
The operator may remove or edit listing content that is unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or that would put the site at risk, and will say so on the activity feed. Content removal is not a rank decision: it voids no pull and changes no placing. If a listing is removed entirely for unlawful content, clause 12 governs the fee.
Your lane's slug — the address of your pull link, outpulled.lol/r/your-slug — is fixed for the life of the listing, including through a rename, because links you have already shared must not break.
Your manage link is a credential. Anyone holding that URL can edit your listing. Do not post it, and treat it as you would a password. There is no password reset: if you lose it, write to the operator.
Refunds
No refunds once your lane is live. Your lane is live the moment payment is confirmed, and what you bought is the lane and the season it runs in — not a placing, a level of traffic, or a share of the fund.
Two refunds are automatic and are not discretionary:
- The board filled during your checkout. No lane was assigned; the payment is returned in full.
- Your entry was declined on eligibility grounds under clause 3 before the season ended. You broke no rule; the fee is returned in full.
A season cancelled by the operator before it ends is dealt with in the block below, which is not yet settled.
Two refund questions the operator must answer
1. An entrant voided in error. An entrant who broke a rule and keeps no refund is a defensible position. An entrant whose pulls were voided wrongly, whose placing was materially affected, and who is then told there is no refund is a different case: money was taken for a contest that was not run correctly against them.
The research recommends a narrow carve-out — where a void is reversed on appeal and the entrant's placing was materially affected, offer a pro-rata refund or a free lane in the next season. It removes any incentive to over-void, and it turns a forfeiture into a remedial adjustment, which is a materially safer shape under consumer-protection law in several states. This is a product decision for the operator and this page will not invent it.
2. Cancellation. What happens to entry fees and to the prize fund if a season has to be cancelled part-way — refund in full, pro-rata, or roll the fund into the next season — is undecided, and must be stated here before a season opens.
Getting paid
Prizes are paid manually by the operator within 24 hours of the season ending, after the top-three review in clause 8. The operator contacts winners using the email on the listing, so keep it reachable.
To pay you, the operator may need identifying information and tax documentation — clause 14. A prize cannot be paid to a winner who does not supply what is legally required to pay it, and the operator may withhold payment until it is supplied.
Prizes are paid electronically. Prizes are not transferable, and no cash alternative to the free billboard slot is offered.
You are not required to sign a publicity release to be paid. Your listing name, lane and count are already public on the board and remain visible in the season archive — that is inherent in entering a public leaderboard. Beyond that, the operator will not condition a prize on your agreement to appear in advertising.
Payout mechanics the operator must specify
Which payment methods are offered, who bears transfer or currency fees, and what happens if a winner cannot be reached or declines the prize within a stated window. Each is a real operational question, and none of them is answered by the code.
Tax
A prize is taxable income to the winner whether or not any tax form is issued. That is the rule under 26 U.S.C. § 74(a), and it does not depend on the operator sending you anything. You are responsible for your own taxes and for reporting the prize.
US winners. The operator may be required to report prize payments to the IRS on Form 1099-MISC, Box 3 once payments to one person in a calendar year reach the reporting threshold — which is $2,000 for 2026 under the amendment to § 6041(a) made by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and not the $600 figure most online guidance still repeats. Where reporting applies the operator will require a Form W-9 before paying. Failing to supply a correct taxpayer identification number can trigger backup withholding at 24%.
Non-US winners are a different regime. A prize paid to a non-US person is US-source income subject to withholding — generally at thirty percent unless a treaty reduces it — reported on Form 1042-S and requiring a Form W-8BEN. There is no de minimis threshold: the first dollar is reportable. If you are not a US person, expect the operator to require that documentation before paying.
The operator is not your tax adviser and none of the above is tax advice. Thresholds change; the figures above are stated as at 26 August 2026 and must be re-checked each year.
Disclaimers
The site and the contest are provided as is. To the fullest extent the law allows, the operator disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
The operator does not warrant that:
- the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any particular moment;
- every genuine visitor you send will be counted — verification is automated, depends on services outside the operator's control, and will sometimes fail to count a real person;
- every manufactured visit will be caught — detection is imperfect, and the operator does not guarantee a fraud-free board;
- your lane will attract any level of traffic, attention or business.
The board's figures are the operator's own count. They are produced by the pipeline described in the Rules and are displayed with a short cache delay. They are not audited by a third party.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, for fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Liability and indemnity
The operator's total liability to you on any claim arising out of these terms or the contest is limited to the entry fee you paid for the lane the claim concerns — plus, where you were wrongly denied a prize you had won on the published criteria, that prize.
The operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for lost profits, lost business or lost opportunity, however caused.
You indemnify the operator against claims, losses and costs arising from your listing content, from the way you promoted your lane, from your breach of these terms, and from your breach of any law or platform rule in doing so. This is the one obligation running in the operator's favour, and it is limited to conduct that is yours.
Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits. Where that is so they apply to the extent permitted and no further.
Governing law and disputes
Talk to the operator first. Most disputes about a count, a void or a payout are resolved by the appeal route in clause 9, and it costs nothing to use.
There is no arbitration clause in these terms, and no class-action waiver. That is deliberate. A one-sided arbitration clause — a shortened limitation period, a distant forum, costs split against the consumer, carve-outs that run only one way — has been struck down as unconscionable in this exact industry, and imposing one would be worse than useless. If arbitration is ever added it must be mutual, with no shortened limitation period, a reasonable forum, and the operator bearing the costs of the process.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules — Wyoming being the state in which Unchain Labs LLC is formed, which you can verify against the public filing rather than take on trust.
Nothing in this clause takes away a right you have where you live. Consumer-protection law in your own state or country may give you rights that cannot be signed away by a choice of law, and it may entitle you to bring a claim locally. Where that is so, it wins over this clause and the operator will not argue otherwise. A small claim is not worth anyone's travel, and the operator will not use this clause to make one uneconomic to bring.
For an attorney to confirm
The governing law above is the ordinary choice — the state of formation — rather than a researched conclusion. Two related points are open: whether a forum-selection clause should be stated at all, given that binding consumers to a distant forum is unenforceable in several states, and whether any arbitration provision belongs here. The current answer to the second is deliberately no, for the reasons stated above.
Changes to these terms
The terms and rules in force for a season are the ones published when that season opened. Entering is acceptance of those, and the operator does not change them under an entrant mid-season.
Two narrow exceptions exist:
- Correcting a material error — where the published text plainly contradicts itself or the mechanics it describes.
- Protecting the integrity of the contest — where something is happening that the published rules did not anticipate and that would otherwise let a season be decided by manufactured traffic.
A change made under either exception is announced on the activity feed with its reason. Anything else waits for the next season.
The date at the top of this page is when a term last changed. Where a term is genuinely ambiguous it is read against the operator, who wrote it.
General
Severability. If a term is unenforceable it is severed and the rest stands.
No waiver. Not enforcing a term once does not waive it.
Entire agreement. These terms, the Rules and the Privacy notice are the whole agreement about the contest, and replace anything said elsewhere — including on social media — about how it works.
Assignment. You may not transfer your lane or your entry to anyone else. The operator may transfer these terms with the site, provided your rights under them are unchanged.

Still to be settled — commercial decisions
The operator's identity, address and contact email are now stated in clause 1 and throughout. What remains below is not a missing fact but an undecided policy. None is invented here, because an invented one looks settled and is not.
- The excluded-jurisdiction list — clause 3.
- The two refund decisions — the wrongful-void carve-out and the cancellation policy — clause 12.
- Payout mechanics — methods, fees, and the unreachable-winner window — clause 13.
Questions this page cannot answer — licensed attorney required
This page was drafted from research, not from legal advice, and it has not been reviewed by a licensed attorney. It is not a representation that this contest is lawful in any particular state, that the operator complies with any particular statute, or that these terms would survive a challenge. Six questions genuinely need counsel:
- Whether ranking by referral count is legally “skill.” No decided case addresses this mechanic. States apply four different tests, and the strictest of them are a real problem.
- Which states must be excluded from eligibility — a fifty-state statutory survey.
- Whether a prize fund built from a percentage of entry fees survives scrutiny, and whether a fixed, pre-announced fund would be materially safer. (Federal fantasy-contest law suggests it would.)
- Whether New York, Florida and Rhode Island registration and bonding statutes reach a skill contest — they are drafted for chance promotions, and their reach flips on how this contest is characterised.
- Governing law, forum, and whether to include arbitration at all.
- The operator's entity, registration and address — unknown, and legally required.
Reading these terms creates no lawyer-client relationship with anyone, and none of the above is legal advice.
