🌬️Votes, Visibility, and Winning
Voting starts the second you hit upload. Everything after that is survival of the most watchable.
On Dare Market, votes go live the second your submission hits the feed. There’s no separate “voting phase.” Every moment your proof is up, it’s earning more views, more reactions, and potential glory.
How Voting Works
Anyone on Dare Market can upvote submissions while the dare is active. Votes are public and update in real time. When the submission deadline hits, voting stops and results lock automatically.
The submission with the most upvotes wins (unless the dare was set to “Initiator Selects Winner”). If multiple winners are enabled, the top 20% of entries split the bounty.
Votes are validation. The crowd decides who’s legendary.
Timing Is Strategy
Because voting starts immediately, early contenders have the advantage. The faster you post, the more exposure time you get: more views, more votes, more potential traction.
Last-minute entries can still win, but they’re fighting the clock and the algorithm if the crowd is deciding the outcome.
Post early, post clean, and let the crowd carry you.
Visibility Mechanics
The Dare Market feed rewards performance:
Submissions with higher engagement surface to the top.
Views, votes, and comments create a positive feedback loop.
The more you interact, the more visibility your own entries gain.
Every action — posting, voting, commenting — shapes what rises to the top of the feed. Dare Market is a living, breathing leaderboard.
We reward participation. You can’t win if you don’t show up.
Winning Logic
When the timer hits zero:
Community Dares: top-voted submission(s) win the bounty.
Initiator-Judged Dares: the dare creator manually selects the winner(s).
Multiple Winners Enabled: top 20% by votes share the bounty.
All results finalize automatically, and funds move directly to winner balances. Winners are announced instantly on the feed and reflected in the Leaderboard.

Safety & Moderation
Votes don’t excuse violations. Unsafe, hateful, or illegal submissions are removed instantly — votes and all. Big brother is watching.
Push limits, not people. The best dares make the internet cheer, not panic.
