You just got something useful for free — an article, a video, a snippet of code, a great answer. Wouldn't it be nice to toss the creator a dollar or two? C'mon, throw them a bone!

ThrowBone lets you tip the content creators who give away so much useful work for free. Want to find out more?

When you sign up with ThrowBone, you commit to nothing. That's right! Signing up simply lets you "throw a bone" — offer a small tip of, say, $0.25 or $1 — to a content creator, to show them you value their work.

You have two ways to fund your account:

Option A – Pay as you go: Your tips add up as pledges over time. Once they reach $10 or more, we'll email you for payment. You can change your mind at any time – just delete any tip you don't want to pay, no questions asked!

Option B – Preload your account: Load a minimum of $10 into your ThrowBone wallet upfront. When you throw a bone, the amount is deducted from your balance instantly. No waiting, no invoices – just quick, seamless tipping. You can top up your wallet any time.

So here's how it works.

1. We create a ThrowBone account for you, so that any time you click on the ThrowBone graphic, you can easily "throw a bone" to the content creator. You can see and track all the bones you've thrown at throwbone.com at any time.
2. Choose how you'd like to fund your tipping (below).
3. You can pay by check or credit/debit card. If by card, it goes through a secure service so that we never see your card account numbers. (During the preview: test cards only.)
4. Once you have paid, we pay the content creators you have chosen to tip. We keep 0.5% (only 1/2 cent of every dollar!) to provide this service.

We further pledge never to give your name or email information out to anyone, for marketing purposes or any other reason. That's it! As you can see, you can't go wrong. Just enter your name and email address below.
