Ranking transparency
How Boost Points work
Boost Points are a dynamic community-boosted visibility score, not an objective quality rating or a guaranteed leaderboard position.
Pennies
Pennies are Epic Livestreams credits used only to add Boost Points for a creator. Pennies may be purchased with real money, but they are not cash, crypto, donations, tips, earnings or an investment, and cannot be withdrawn, resold, transferred or redeemed for money.
Boosts
Boosts spend wallet pennies permanently as Boost Points. The creator does not receive cash from this action.
Wallet limit
Stored wallet balance is capped at 50,000 pennies ($500.00). You can top up more than once as long as the wallet stays within this limit.
The short version
1. One penny equals one Boost Point.
2. 100 pennies cost $1 at checkout before taxes or Stripe adjustments.
3. Penny purchases can be repeated; each top-up must stay within the wallet limit.
4. Any signed-in fan or creator can boost a visible creator with wallet pennies.
5. Boosted pennies are consumed permanently and increase the channel’s Boost Points.
6. Creators do not receive cash, balances, payouts or donations from boosts.
7. Ties are sorted by who reached the score first, then by a stable listing ID.
8. LIVE is only shown when Epic Livestreams has reliable live-status data.
9. Known platforms can be listed after basic checks; other sources may need review first.
10. Epic Livestreams can refuse or remove content that breaks safety, legal or platform rules.
