The fine print
Put in as simple words as I could.
What this is
goatdebate.lol is an independent, fan-made entertainment website. People "tip" to nudge an athlete up a public leaderboard. That's the entire product. Think of it like a radio station's listener poll, except the votes are card payments and the results are live.
No affiliation
We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or in any way associated with any athlete, team, club, league, federation, promoter, broadcaster, brand, or awards organisation that appears or is alluded to on this site. Names and countries are used purely to identify who fans are talking about, in the course of public commentary. No money is passed on to any athlete or organisation.
Tips
- A tip is a voluntary, one-off purchase of a digital consumable: it adds its amount to a leaderboard total the moment the payment succeeds. That is all you receive.
- There are no goods, services, memberships, prizes, odds, stakes, returns, or payouts of any kind. This is not gambling, betting, crowdfunding, or a donation.
- Tips are final sale and non-refundable, except where the law where you live requires otherwise. If you believe a payment was made in error, reach out on X.com/FitHacker19.
- Minimum $1, maximum $900,000 per tip. Prices are in USD.
- We may remove, rename, reset or reorder leaderboards at any time, including if a payment is reversed.
Payments & privacy
Payments are processed by Stripe. Your card details go directly to Stripe and never touch our servers. We store only what we need to run the board: the amount, time, a Stripe payment reference, the card brand, last four digits and card country (so we can show a flag in the live feed), and a random receipt token. We do not collect names, emails, or accounts. We use no advertising trackers. Server logs hold IP addresses briefly for abuse prevention.
Fair play
We rate-limit and run an automated "are you a robot?" check to keep bots off the board. Please don't try to break it; this page is meant to be fun.
Liability
The site is provided "as is" for entertainment. We do our best to keep it up and accurate but make no guarantees. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the site.
