How DollaDKP works
A short guide to joining raids, bidding on loot, and getting paid.
The loop
Step 1
Join a raid
Add a character, pick it as active, then apply. The raid leader approves players onto the roster.
Step 2
Play the run
The raid happens in World of Warcraft at the posted server time. The roster is already locked before pull.
Step 3
Bid on loot
After the run, items go up one at a time. Bid with your balance if you want the piece. Highest bid when the timer ends wins.
Step 4
Get paid automatically
Every winning bid goes into the raid pot. When the raid leader is done, the platform splits that pot and credits everyone on the roster.
Auctions
Loot is sold one item at a time. The raid leader posts a drop, a 20 second timer starts, and anyone on the roster can bid. Each new bid adds 10 seconds, so a last-second sniping war just keeps the auction going.
The minimum bid is $1. As the price climbs, the next bid has to jump by more: $1 under $10, $5 up to $100, $10 up to $500, then $50. You cannot bid against yourself while you are already winning.
When the timer runs out, the highest bidder pays and the item is theirs. That money goes straight into the raid pot, which everyone can see. If nobody bids, the item goes unsold and nothing is taken from anyone. The leader can put it up again later, or leave it.
An auction that has started cannot be cancelled. It always runs until the timer ends.
How the money is split
You do not wait for someone to mail gold. When the raid leader finalizes the raid, the platform pays everyone automatically from the pot of sold items.
- 10% stays with the platform
- 10% goes to the raid leader
- The remaining 80% is split equally among everyone who was accepted onto the roster — including the raid leader
On a 25-player raid, each accepted player gets 80% ÷ 25. You get that cut even if you never bid and even if you were offline during auctions. Leftover cents from the split go to the platform so every share is exactly the same.
Questions
How does my balance work?+
You bid with dollars from your wallet. Top up on the wallet page if you do not have enough to bid, earn money from raid pots, and cash out when you want it back.
How do I join a raid?+
Add a World of Warcraft character on your profile, set it as active, then apply from a raid page. The raid leader reviews applications while the raid is still open. Once the roster locks, nobody else can join.
What is a buyer vs a pumper?+
That lives on the character, not the Discord account. A buyer is mostly there to pick up upgrades. A pumper is already geared and is there to help clear and take a share of the pot. You pick it when you add or edit the character.
Can I apply with a different character?+
Switch the active character in the header, then apply. One Discord account still only takes one spot on a raid. If you created the raid, you already occupy the leader slot and cannot apply on an alt.
When is raid time?+
Pull times are in game server time — the clock of the WoW realm, not your local timezone. The time the raid leader typed is the time everyone sees.
Do I have to bid to get paid?+
No. Bidding is optional. If you were accepted onto the roster, you get an equal share of the 80% participant pool when the raid is finalized, whether you bid or not.
What if I win an item?+
The money is taken from your balance as soon as the auction timer ends, and that amount is added to the raid pot. You still also receive your participant share at the end, same as everyone else on the roster.
When does the money actually move?+
Winning bids move into the pot immediately. The split to players happens when the raid leader finalizes the raid — they can do that as soon as they are done posting loot. You do not need to wait on gold trades in-game.
Who can create a raid?+
Only accounts marked as raid leaders. Creating a raid seats your currently active character in the first roster slot.
