Who wins depends on how you count.

The Economist's burger index. Less rigorous, funnier, and it usually produces the closest race of the four.

San Francisco 50.0 percent, Bengaluru 50.0 percent.

The wall is empty. The first tile bought owns an entire half of it, until somebody else turns up.

Where the money goes

A fifth of it
leaves the building.

The charity share starts at 20% and climbs as the season grows, in marginal bands. Right now the season is at $0 of net revenue, so the next rupee in gives 20%. Charity and referral shares are taken from NET revenue: the amount charged, minus GST, before our own costs. The charity rate rises in marginal bands as the season total grows, exactly like tax brackets, so no single sale is ever taxed at a rate the whole pot has not reached.

The honest small print

  • This is advertising, not a game of chance. You pay a stated price for a stated placement, delivered immediately and held for the season. There is no draw, no wager, and no outcome you can lose. Nothing here is a lottery, betting, or a real-money game.
  • Referrals are single tier. A code earns 10% of net on tiles bought directly through it, paid as tile credit. You cannot earn from what your referrals go on to refer, and that will not change. Multi-level payouts are a money circulation scheme under the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act 1978, which is a criminal offence in India, not a grey area.
  • The charity share is a promise with a base. Charity and referral shares are taken from NET revenue: the amount charged, minus GST, before our own costs. The charity rate rises in marginal bands as the season total grows, exactly like tax brackets, so no single sale is ever taxed at a rate the whole pot has not reached. The named recipient and the remittance receipts are published at season close alongside the raw revenue figure, so the claim can be checked rather than trusted.
  • Payments are final. The placement is delivered on payment, so tiles are non-refundable, except where the placement fails to appear, in which case you get the full amount back.
  • Taxes. Indian buyers are charged 18% GST on the advertising service, included in the displayed price. Buyers elsewhere are billed as an export of services at 0% GST under an LUT. A tax invoice is emailed for every purchase.
  • The scores are cosmetic. PPP and Big Mac views are re-weightings shown for argument’s sake. Raw dollars is the only figure matching what was banked.
  • Your data. Name, link and country are public by design. Your email is used for the receipt and nothing else. It is not sold or shared.
  • We moderate. Tiles carrying hate, adult content, scams, impersonation or malware are removed and refunded. That call is ours and it is final.
