🚀 New Prize Pool Mechanic!
With max: 1000$ 😱

The prize pool for the next contest will now be calculated using this formula:
F = $100 + $100 × N, with a maximum of $1000
📌 N = number of published in BB Store bots after the current contest (only high-quality bots)

💥 The maximum prize pool now depends on YOU
and can reach up to $1000 💸

Examples:
• 1 bot → $200
• 5 bots → $600
• 9+ bots → $1000

📊 The new prize pool will be calculated based on the results of the current contest (REB-contest)
and applied to the next round.

🤖 This mechanic currently applies only to development contests.
(Not YouTube)

🤝 We aim to encourage collaboration and teamwork.
The more high-quality bots get published in the BB Store —
the bigger the prize pool for everyone.

🧠 Share ideas. Team up.
Help each other and get ready for the next contest!

🎁 The contest is over, prizes are delivered, and the new app version is already on your phones…

But there’s something else happening today.
Something that comes only once a year.

🎉 Bots.Business turns 9!

Today we celebrate 9 years of growth, challenges, and achievements — and we’re proud of how far we've come. Thank you to everyone who’s been with us on this journey!

Here’s just a glimpse of what we accomplished this year:

📱 7 app updates — The BB mobile app is now faster, more stable, and easier to use. We added new features, improved the interface, introduced a light theme, and expanded language support. Managing bots from your phone is now smoother than ever.

🌍 +19 new interface languages — BB is now even closer to users around the world.

🧾 50% less advertising — Ads are now less intrusive and more user-friendly.

🎮 Contests and YouTube battles — For the first time, we hosted large-scale creative events. BB is now not just a platform — it’s a community.

🔐 Improved security — With access control, API key resets, and global logout, your peace of mind comes first.

🚀 More free features — We significantly increased the limits on free plans.

⚙️ 99.99% uptime — Our infrastructure is rock-solid. Bots run smoothly and without interruption.

We’re growing steadily and building the future of bot development — together with you.

Thank you to our developers, admins, and users.
You are the heart of BB.

Now, onward — to year 10!

Downtime in progress

ETA - 1 hour

Uptime!

The BB was down for about an hour.

This wasn’t a technical issue, but rather a human error: our hosting provider initially confirmed our payment, then later issued a new invoice. We didn’t catch it in time, and the server was temporarily suspended.

We’ve resolved the issue promptly — the payment was completed and the service is now fully restored.

📊 For context, our uptime over the past six months has consistently stayed between 99.95% and 100%. We take service stability seriously, and incidents like this are extremely rare

Apologies for any inconvenience, and thank you for sticking with us 🙏
