Claim country placements
Put a website or social profile on a country and pay to hold its rank. Empty countries can be claimed from a $5 minimum.
worldmap.lol
worldmap.lol is a public map where startups and creators pay to place a website or social profile on a country and rank by total stake.
Overview
worldmap.lol is a public map where people pay to place links on countries and compete for rank by total stake. The product turns each country into an open leaderboard: the more has been staked on a country, the higher that listing appears.
It is positioned as advertising rather than betting. Users can list a product website or a supported social profile, claim an empty country from $5, and later top up to regain a higher rank if another listing passes them.
What worldmap.lol lets you do
Rank by total stake
Each country functions as its own leaderboard. Your rank is determined by the total amount staked on that country, not by a one-time purchase.
Top up to reclaim position
If someone out-stakes you, you only pay the difference needed to move back ahead, subject to the minimum payment. Earlier stake still counts toward your total.
Public listing pages
Listings show the chosen link on the map until they are out-staked, and each listing gets its own shareable page on worldmap.lol.
Link-based submissions
Supported listing types include product websites and several social platforms, with redirects, chat/invite links, and tracking URLs excluded by the rules.
Common ways people might use it
Launch visibility for a startup
A startup can place its website on a country to create a public presence on the map and keep that spot by staking more when challenged.
Promote a social profile
A creator or brand can list an X, Instagram, GitHub, or YouTube channel profile to direct attention to an existing public profile instead of a home page.
Maintain a ranked campaign placement
A team running a campaign can watch one country’s leaderboard and top up only when they need to pass the current leader, rather than repurchasing the whole spot.
Browse and compare ranked listings
Someone checking the map can use the public leaderboard to see which listings hold the most stake across countries and click through to the linked page.
Reclaim an existing listing
A site owner can correct an out-staked listing by resubmitting the exact same link in the same mode, which the rules say is required for reclaiming a spot.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Simple public mechanic: claim a country, then keep or improve rank by staking more.
- No accounts are required; the listing is tied to the submitted link.
- Past stake still counts when reclaiming position, so topping up does not require repaying everything from scratch.
- Supports both product websites and selected social profiles.
- Each listing gets a shareable page on the site.
Cons
- The site is explicitly an advertising placement, not a bet, and it offers no prize or payout.
- Listings are moderated and can be removed, hidden, or refused at the site's discretion, including for rule violations.
- Website links are normalized to the domain, so paths and query strings are stripped.
FAQ
How does claiming or reclaiming a country work?
A user can claim an empty country by paying from $5. To take over a country that is already claimed, they submit the same listing again and pay enough to out-stake the current leader, subject to the $5 minimum per payment.
How is rank determined?
Rank is based on the total amount staked on that country. Every payment adds to the total, and the highest total ranks first. If two listings are tied, the earlier one keeps the higher rank.
What kinds of links can I list?
A listing can be either a product website or a social profile. For websites, the domain is kept and paths or query strings are removed. Supported social profile types include X, Instagram, GitHub, and YouTube channel/profile links.
Do I need an account to manage a listing?
There are no accounts. A listing is identified by its link, so to add to your stake you submit the exact same link again in the same mode. A different link is treated as a separate listing.
Is this a bet or auction, and can I get a refund?
The service is an advertising placement sold through Whop. The rules state there is no prize, no payout, and no element of chance, and all sales are final.
