Terms of use

Last updated: [DATE]. Operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("we", "us").

What this site is

Bored Billionaires is a bulletin board. People post requests, and other people may choose to send them a gift directly through a third-party payment app such as Venmo or Zelle. We are not a bank, a payment processor, a charity, or a party to any payment.

What we do not do

  • We do not hold, transmit, guarantee or refund money. Every payment is between the sender and the recipient, under the payment app's own terms.
  • We do not verify identities, stories, or how a gift is used. A listed request has not been checked by us and is not an endorsement.
  • A tick on a social account means only that the person signed in to that account through us. It does not confirm who they are or that anything they say is true. Links marked unverified have not been checked at all.
  • A request closes when a donor uploads a receipt. We read receipt screenshots automatically to look for fakes, and a person may review them afterwards. That is a filter, not proof: a closed request does not mean we confirmed that money moved.
  • We do not promise that any request will be covered.

If you give

  • Gifts are voluntary, final, and made at your own risk. Only send what you can afford to lose.
  • Gifts to individuals are generally not tax-deductible. Ask a tax professional about your own situation.
  • Leaderboard titles such as "Billionaire" are jokes and say nothing about anyone's wealth.
  • Only upload a receipt for a payment you actually sent. If we believe a receipt is false or edited, we may reverse the gift on the site and remove your account.

If you ask

  • You must be 18 or older and located in the United States.
  • Everything in your request must be true. A limited number of open requests per person at a time.
  • You may not ask for money for illegal drugs, weapons or ammunition, gambling, or anything else that is illegal, and you may not offer anything in return for a gift: repayment with a profit, an investment, photos, dates or anything sexual. No slurs, threats or sexual language anywhere on the site. The words of requests, notes, reviews and profiles are checked automatically and refused if they break these rules.
  • Only confirm or thank a donor for a gift once the money is in your account.
  • Only report a gift as not received if that is true. A false report will get your account removed.
  • You are responsible for any taxes on what you receive.
  • No requests for anything illegal, for businesses or investments, for political campaigns, or on behalf of someone else without their permission.

When a gift does not arrive

For [14] days after a request closes, the recipient can report that the money did not arrive. The donor then has [3] days to answer. If they do not, the gift is reversed on the site: it stops counting, and the request reopens. If they do, one of our reviewers looks at what both sides sent and decides, and that decision is final. All of this changes only what the site shows. We cannot move, recover or refund money, and we do not decide who is legally owed what.

Reviews

After a gift, the donor and the recipient can each leave one review of the other. Reviews are the opinion of the person who wrote them, not ours. Write only what you experienced yourself and keep it truthful. We may hide or remove a review that is false, abusive, or shares private information, and anyone can report one. The outcome of reports about gifts (for example, how many of a donor's gifts were reversed) is shown on profiles.

Videos and photos

Pitch videos, pitch photos and the photos or videos on thank-you notes can only be recorded live on this site with your own camera. You may not upload a file, point the camera at a screen, use footage of someone else, or use anything made or altered by AI or other software to look like a real person. You must be the person in a pitch video or photo, you must be 18 or older, and nobody else may appear without their permission. You are responsible for everything your recording shows and says. By recording, you give us permission to host it and show it publicly with your request or note until you delete it or we remove it. Do not post exposed breasts or genitals in a photo or video, including profile photos, or weapons, violence, blood or injuries, drugs or hate symbols. Automated checks look for these; uncertain results may require a person to review them. The checks can make mistakes. We may remove any of them and the account behind them at any time. To ask for a recording that shows you to be removed, write to [CONTACT EMAIL].

Content and conduct

You are responsible for what you post, including photos, notes and links. We may remove any content or account at any time, for any reason, including suspected fraud. Use the Report link on any request to flag a problem.

Tips

Tips to the site are optional, are not charitable donations, and are not refundable.

No warranties, limited liability

The site is provided as is. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses arising from gifts, requests, other users' conduct, or payment apps, and our total liability is limited to [AMOUNT].

Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will post the new date here. Questions: [CONTACT EMAIL]. Governing law: [STATE].
