- Race websites
- 10 points every 10 seconds you watch a project bidding in today’s Race, plus 40 more at 60 seconds. Up to 100 points per website per day.
- Bonus links
- 20 points per link the community promotes, after 10 seconds on it. Featured links give 100. Up to 10 links a day.
- Win the Race
- 500 points when your ad goes live on the homepage, so you can bid again.
What counts as watching
Points only count while the website is actually on your screen. Switching tabs or apps pauses the count, and the server keeps one clock per person: ten tabs at once earn the same as one. It never pays for more time than has really passed.
Nothing here depends on ads: you never earn points for seeing or clicking an ad. The full details are in how the count works.
What to do with your points
Bid them in the daily Race for tomorrow’s homepage. Bids start at 100 points and add up during the day. If you don’t win, you keep 50% of your bid for the next day’s Race. The winner takes over the whole LaunchCrown homepage for 24 hours.
