How it works

Claim a curated platform record, become the current holder, and keep it until someone else claims it.

  1. 1. Claim a record

    Pick a record and press claim. The server reserves it for you for a short time and shows the exact price. Only one person can hold the reservation for a record at a time.

  2. 2. Become the holder

    Once your payment is confirmed, you become the current record holder. The record shows your name, the amount and the date, and it is added to the public record history.

  3. 3. Share your record page

    Every record has a public page you can share. It shows the current holder, the value and the full history.

  4. 4. Get dethroned, or reclaim

    Anyone can take the record by paying the next claim price. If that happens you are dethroned and notified. You can come back and claim it again at the new price.

Questions

How is the next claim price set?
The next claim price is the current record value plus a step set by The Internet Records for that record. The step can differ between records and may change over time. The price is always calculated on our server and shown to you, with any applicable tax, before you pay. A price shown on your screen is only locked in while your reservation is active.
What do I actually get?
A public status page for the record while you hold it, and a permanent entry in that record's history. It is a digital novelty for fun and bragging rights. It is not an asset, an investment, a security or a financial right, and it cannot be sold or transferred.
What is a reservation?
When you start a claim, we hold the record for you for a limited time (currently about 10 minutes) so that two people cannot pay for the same price at once. If the time runs out, the reservation expires and you can start again.
What happens if someone takes my record?
You are dethroned. You keep your place in the record history, we notify you, and you can claim the record again at the new price. Being dethroned is part of how the product works and is not a reason for a refund.
Are these official world records?
No. These are platform records that exist only on The Internet Records. We are not affiliated with Guinness World Records or any brand, celebrity, game or sports team.
Who processes payments?
Payments are processed by our payment provider, Dodo Payments, who acts as the seller of record and handles applicable taxes. A record is only transferred after the payment is confirmed by the provider, never just because you returned to our site.
