Limp bet?

At GGpoker at Rush and cash, they may limp for Leaderboard points, but i saw on other sites also bet365 Wpt global and Coinpoker.

For example Button open 3bb, SB fold, BB call, then on flop BB check CO go 1bb raise.

What is your thought when is best to use this Limp bet?

In your hand example you have the button open, BB call then mention the CO betting?
Also where is the 'limp bet' here? Do you mean 'min bet' as a continuation bet of the minimum has been made?
To me 'limp bet' is where a player limps then bets somehow, is this what you mean. Can you clarify.

How does that leaderboard work, and in which way does limping help them get points?

The small 1bb flop bet is often used to deny equity cheaply, set a low price for the street, or induce raises from weaker players. It can be effective on certain board textures, but like any sizing, it works best when used as part of a balanced strategy rather than all the time
