THE GOAL
Build one global chain from Domino #1 to Domino #1,000,000. Every successfully paid domino receives a fixed number and becomes part of the public chain for the operating lifetime of the project, subject to the content and moderation rules.
THE RULEBOOK
GAMERULES.
Internet Domino is deliberately simple: one paid domino adds one permanent numbered place to the public chain and one point to a country. These are the rules that keep the game fair, understandable and alive.
€1 = 1 DOMINO
Each domino costs €1 including applicable tax. This is a digital placement in the Internet Domino chain — not an investment, wager, lottery ticket or promise of financial return.
NUMBER ASSIGNMENT
Numbers are assigned only after Stripe confirms successful payment. Numbers are allocated in sequence and are never recycled. If a paid order contains several dominoes, it receives a continuous number range.
YOUR PUBLIC DOMINO
A domino can show a nickname, country flag, short message and optional website URL. These fields are public. Do not submit information you do not want published. HTML, scripts and file uploads are not accepted.
COUNTRY / TEAM
Every paid domino scores one point for the selected country. The homepage may preselect a country from a server-provided country code to make joining faster, but the buyer can always change the country before checkout. The selected country at purchase is the team that receives the point.
COUNTRY BATTLE
Countries are ranked by the total number of paid dominoes assigned to them. No fake country scores or artificial purchases are added. The scoreboard changes only through real paid dominoes and legitimate administrative corrections such as refunds or moderation.
GLOBAL TOP 100
The Global ranking is the all-time builder ranking. Multiple paid purchases by the same buyer are combined through a privacy-safe internal buyer key. Builders are ordered by total paid dominoes; in a tie, the builder who reached the total first ranks higher.
DAILY TOP 100
The Daily ranking starts fresh every day and counts paid dominoes for that day. It gives new builders a realistic way to reach the top even when the all-time leaders are far ahead. Ties are broken by who reached the daily total first.
POPULAR TOP 100
Popular measures current attention over a rolling seven-day window. The score is based on qualified visits, share actions and clicks on a domino's optional external website link. Repeated activity is throttled to reduce simple reload spam.
POPULAR SCORE
The current scoring model is: qualified visits × 3, tracked share actions × 5, external website clicks × 7. The formula may be adjusted if abuse patterns make a change necessary; any material rule change should be disclosed on the ranking page.
MILESTONES
Special numbers such as #1, #10, #100, #1,000, #10,000 and #1,000,000 may receive special visual treatment. A milestone is still a normal paid domino with the same core rights and content rules.
REMOVAL, REFUNDS & DISPUTES
Public content may be hidden or removed for illegal content, malware, scams, rights violations, impersonation, hate, pornography, security risks or other rule violations. Assigned domino numbers are not recycled. Refunds and payment disputes may change public visibility and ranking totals where appropriate.
WEBSITE LINKS
The optional website URL is a bonus attached to the domino, not the main product. External links are marked as user-generated/sponsored and may be disabled if they become unsafe, unlawful or misleading.
FAIR PLAY
Automation, bot traffic, artificial engagement, payment fraud, manipulation of rankings or attempts to bypass rate limits can be ignored, removed or blocked. Rankings are intended to reflect real paid activity and genuine attention.
THE MILLION
The original challenge is complete when Domino #1,000,000 is successfully sold and assigned. Any celebration or finale animation is a visual event only; it does not erase the public chain or recycle numbers.
