Interesting list.
Thanks for the list fellas, it's a big help in weeding out some of the old sponsors off the site I just picked up. It's appreciated.
Traffic Cash Gold is on GFY saying that they are back with the original owners as Media Revenue did not keep up on promised payments from the purchase. Take that info and do whatever you want with it.
One interesting thing is that the other day I visited a bunch of Media Revenue sites and all had errors on their join pages and I couldn't have joined even if I wanted to.
Hi BEC,
I see a lot of familiar avatars and names from the other forum. Well I would like to add Tim Bucks to the list. Traffic Leaks, Payment Issues, and their rep told everyone to go f themselves this morning when we brought up the issues.
TIMBucks = TIMRev = Treasure Island.
On the one hand they convert well and make money and usually pay. On the other hand (last I knew) if you send traffic to TIMFuck the surfer may see a banner ad for TIMSuck and if they buy a TIMSuck membership you won't get credit for the sale. They also had a lot of problems with their migration to NATS and weren't terribly worried about whether affiliates lost money because of technical problems with the migration. They did finally fix things, but they bitched and moaned and said some nasty things in the process.
I'm not sure blacklisting them is quite right - is there a gray list? I mean they're definitely a problem sponsor, but they're still worth promoting if you do it with your eyes wide open...
I understand the "gray list" definition, but I, for one, don't want to be the one deciding which sponsors fit such a category. Either they are trustworthy, or they aren't. Perhaps putting them on the blacklist with a "promote with caution" tag after it?
GayTeenCash.com - WARNING Owned by Sam Eborall (Previously owned programs / did not pay)
This guy is scammer for sure !
nice list
Hi. New here.
Just wanted to find out if anyone else has been having payment problems with CockyBoys/Big Bling. For me it's been an recurring problem for two years.
You have posted to a thread on Gaydemon.biz re: CockyBoys ... and 99% of those that used to post here, are now over there, so I'd say the responses regarding CockyBoys here, if any, will be about the same.
EngineCash.com - Not paying and never answering the support tickets or mails.
Do you have same experience?
Any advice please?
Thank you , they contacted me at last, but the problem is not solved !!!! Seems that there is a problem with the payment method since they give all options at their nat's program but they can not execute them (not even wire !!!) , I do not have a Paxum account so I do not know what is gona happen with my payment....
Open a Paxum account.
If the process to open an account gives you grief, contact ruth@paxum****.
You can withdraw electronically, by card, by wire, by check.
There are fees. They aren't cheap. I like Payoneer better, but for subtle differences. Paxum's process for withdrawing electronically is actually one of the fastest.
The problem with my EngineCash payment is solved . I got my payment via Western Union . They were very cooperative after my post here . I stopped advertising them , until they will manage other payment methods or I have a Paxum account. Thank you all very much
This thread is so useful. Thanks for keeping it going.
Great list here
good to know that all these sites dont pay... luckily i already found the best option for the 'gay twink' niche.
Nice Dreams Cash has closed its doors and is redirecting traffic to AEBN with an affiliate code attached. (And it isn't yours!)
So get those links changed ASAP.
non-paying programs: mygaycash.com here always waiting for : 2015-02-16 En suspens $160.75
Anyone is having problems with HelixCash ?
They delay my payment for 2 months now and no response to my mails and messages .
I have the same problem with HelixCash. Not paid for 2 months and no reply to tickets.
Try to mail
kyleross@helixstudios.com
Finally I got paid after sending a message via twitter
Maleflixxx/Sureflix dropped our white label site when we starting promoting other affiliate programs more heavily. We were with them for over 13 years. There should have been lots of residual income from all the customers they got from our site but they claimed because we weren't promoting our white label site continuously we lost all claim to any residual income from our former customers. They stopped paying me in July of 2014, $1276.77 - There were many times prior to that when checks had arrived late or they arrived only after I complained. I didn't contact them right away figuring they would catch up. Numerous emails went unanswered. In February, my rep said he'd been out with the flu but would check in to it. No reply to more emails until finally in April of 2015 I threatened with my attorney. In May of 2015 I got an email from the president stating we breeched our agreement. No prior notice, just cut us of almost one year before. He claimed their cost to keep up our white label site was costing them money. Yeah right. It's all computer based and we got only 20% commissions, surely the 80% form our customers paid well enough for their little computer work. I sometimes wish I had contacted an attorney...
The industry being the way it is, some of these companies no doubt work on the basis that some affiliates don't get a payment for several months and may leave the business while waiting and then forget about the money. Others get tired of asking and give up. And because the affiliate community is smaller and more fragmented there is less chance of sponsor names being blackened for non-payment.
It's sad to see names that have been around for years doing this stuff.
Helix has alway been prompt with me.
For me they tend to be a pay-when-you-nag-them company. I would put it at sloppy as opposed to intentional at this point.
This was meant to be a "reply" to RADVideo's post from 8-11-2015:
Chad is pretty reliable by e-mail.
Thanks for the list.
If you still have links up for Nasty Dollars I would remove them. Recently I found that I have sent them traffic over the last year and yet their stats show zero. No reply to two emails.
Bucksfactory stopped paying and not responding to tickets.
Same for me . I just had an email from Misha (misha@bucksfactory.com) saying that they will pay in 2-4 days but 2 weeks past and nothing yet .
I've added these sites because of negative payment, links not tracking, sites are closed, and/or no response to emails to the list at the very beginning of the thread. This just gives you a quick update about current Programs with affiliate issues.

A tip of the hat to Bjorn on Gaydemon.biz for sharing his list of problematic programs.
Hi Bec,
According to Bucks Matrix:
08/31/2016 - We are sad to inform you, that because of constant problems with financial institutions we are unable to keep our affiliate program working anymore. Starting the 16th of September, 2016 we won't track any new signups and rebills.
So basically if you didn't pull your links, and they continue to make sales, they're keeping the money. nice. not.
I wonder why this program never tried CCBill?
Oh, that's right, CCBill splits off the Affiliate earnings immediately, and never sends it to the Program/Client.
Hi Bec,
Don't know if you are still running this shindig or not, but HI if you are! grin
Been a LONG LONG time since I was on here..sort of semi-retired from the game, oh about 10 years ago or so. You knew me as either Centurion or Moxie (used both of those handles and definitely used "Mansized" on here.
