Terms, disclaimer & privacy
Short version: idiots beg here, other people choose to give through the beggar's linked payout page. We don't verify stories or amounts. The jokes are jokes; the rules below are not.
Accounts are verified, stories aren't
Every poster verified an email address, so there's a real human behind each account, but we don't check identities, bills, or stories. Treat every gift like a loonie tossed in a fountain: give only what you're comfortable never seeing again.
How giving works
Donors give through the payout page a beggar links (PayPal, Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee, Cash App, Venmo), under that service's own terms. Begillionaire may take a cut; fee details will be posted here. Refunds depend on the payment service and the beggar. Gifts are voluntary personal gifts, not charitable donations, and not tax-deductible. Begillionaire is not a charity. You must be 18 or older to make an account.
Payout links: verified for ownership only
A green "Verified ✓" badge means the link is live on that beg and has not been pulled after reports. It does not prove who owns the page, that the beg is true, or that the money will be used as described. Donors can report any fishy link.
Totals are self-reported
"Amount received" is typed in by the beggar, and "I gave $X" shout-outs are typed in by donors. We can't see or confirm payments, so all amounts are self-reported.
Posting rules
- Only beg for your own real bills and your own dumb decisions.
- "Bail-Adjacent" is a joke category. Nothing that promotes, funds or brags about illegal activity.
- No scams, hate, harassment, or other people's personal info. Keep it PG-13.
- No links or ads.
- We can hide any post at any time, and we review reported posts.
Prohibited content
- No sex work of any kind: prostitution, escorting, cam shows, selling porn, nudes or OnlyFans-style content, sugar-daddy arrangements, or any beg that offers or asks for sex in exchange for money.
- No drugs: no begs to buy, sell, or "score" illegal drugs or to pay a dealer. Begging for medical bills, prescriptions or rehab is fine.
- Photos: only photos of your own bills, receipts and damage. No nudity, no other people's private info. Black out account numbers, addresses and names first. We strip location data from uploads.
Three strikes
Breaking these rules (caught by our filter or by a moderator) earns a warning, and the offending beg is taken down. You can see your count on your account page. On your 3rd warning your account is banned, your begs are removed, and your email and phone can't sign up again.
Privacy: what we show vs. what we keep private
| Shown publicly | Kept private |
|---|---|
| Your anonymous handle (you pick it) | Your email (used only to send login codes and stop duplicate accounts) |
| "Verified human ✓" badge (✓✓ once phone is verified) | Your phone number, if you add one (only for duplicate checks and future verification) |
| Your beg: headline, story, category, amount, shame meter, and any photos you upload (with location data stripped) | Hashed device and network fingerprints used to block spam accounts |
| Shout-outs you post (your handle, or "Anonymous" if you tick the box) and your verified payout links | We never see payment details: you pay on third-party sites |
We never show real names, profile photos, emails or phone numbers on public pages, share previews or in any public API. Only site admins can see contact info, and only to run verification, fight spam and handle bans. One person, one account: duplicate or banned emails and phones can't sign up again.
Fees
Donors give through the payout page the beggar links (PayPal, Ko-fi or similar). Begillionaire may take a cut; fee details will be posted in the Terms. The payment service you choose may also charge its own fees. Optional tips to the devs go through an external tip page.
Example begs
Heads up: this one's an example. Begillionaire is brand new, so we're running a few example begs until we've got at least 20 real ones. There's no real person to pay here. Want to give? Tip the broke devs who built the site, or find a real beg. Example begs are fictional and written by Begillionaire. They look like normal begs while you browse, and pressing Donate on one shows this notice instead of any payment option. Example begs have no payout links and take no money. One example retires for every real beg that goes live, and all are gone once there are 20 real begs.
No warranty
The service is provided as-is. Begillionaire isn't liable for what posters do with gifts, including, regrettably, another 2 AM canoe, or for anything that happens on third-party payment sites.
