Pick this board
Use this board when the deliverable is a URL. You pay $25–$2000 up front. After a short cool-off your name sits on the book. We fetch the page. Parked, empty, and localhost do not count. Hit it: most of the money back plus a badge and a slice of the week's prize pool. Miss it: the full stake pays people who actually shipped.
Pick StickK
Use StickK when the goal is gym, writing pages, or quitting a habit, and you want a referee or an anti-charity — not a public maker board, not a prize pool, not a live-site probe.
For shipping software, yes. For gym, diet, or quit-smoking contracts, no. StickK is the general commitment-contract product. This board only takes 2–21 days product stakes with a live URL.
You can write that goal on StickK. Nobody fetches your site. Nobody puts your countdown on a maker board. Nobody splits missed stakes among people who shipped. If the point is a public date and a real product, use this book.
On StickK, forfeits usually go to charity, an anti-charity, or a recipient you chose. On ShipOrDie.lol the full missed stake enters that UTC week's prize pool and is split among uncontested on-time shippers. We are not a gambling operator; a dare is an invite, not a bet.
StickK's fees are StickK's. Here you pay the stake up front through Stripe Checkout (cards, USD). Ship on time and the remainder comes back minus the platform fee. Nothing is public until Stripe confirms payment.
