    Verotel closing all of it's affiliate programs

    So we noticed that the last two weeks no sales and rebills were showing in our Verotel affiliate dashboard.

    We contact the Verotel team and this is what they responded:
    "We unfortunately had to stop our affiliates program last week."

    Since there was zero communication about this I thought I'd give a heads up for the affiliates on this forum...

              Oh shit, there's still a few sites on there like Body In Mind, Sanktor, Chocolate Models.

              Wonder what will happen next.

                Running the affiliate program and sending commission payments on the behalf of someone else could take on a lot of extra risk and liability that was probably not worth it for Verotel.

                Any of the verotel programs that want to maintain their affiliate channel will have to move to NATS (is there a cheaper affiliate tracking solution that supports Verotel? I have no idea in 2024.)

                  YMMV but my experience with Verotel has always been that they are bad payers.

                    Yep, I was actually surprised I was still getting paid by programs on Verotel since around 2019-2020.

                      Did not even know they were still up and running

                        Doesn't BiM offer ccbill or Verotel? Not that ccbill is necessarily better lol but it's an alternative

                              Nice, but you should use NATS if you want affiliates, that's what they trust. Many affiliates won't sign up these self-developed affiliate platforms.

                                why people were surprised? They were reliable till this moment. Their problem was the lack of sites using their service

                                  Exactly. Besides that, many webmasters won't signup to multiple programs to spread their revenue. This is why CCbill and Verotel were cool, all revenue comes in one place.

                                      Reliable, yes. Surprised because a lot of affiliates probably weren't making the minimum payout from Verotel often, considering a lot of the sites on there were smaller operations.

                                      I promoted mostly lesser known nude art websites and niches like stripclubs, strippers. Most people promote Brazzers and Onlyfans leaks now so yea.

                                            Well this sucks. Wasn't getting much, but it was enough to cover hosting fees.

                                              I think it means the cookie won't be placed when the ad loads, only when it's clicked.

                                                Why not redirect your traffic to CCBill-powered affiliate sites?

                                                  I used to love them. For much the same reason I used to love, and kinda still do, CCBill. I could promote 250 piddly ass programs (and five large ones) and aggregate the payouts into one lump sum. While I still do great with CCBill, Verotel sites have shrink in numbers and traffic.

                                                    This is what I noticed too, around 2008 or so Verotel was quite strong in the celeb game and had a ton of sites like that on there. Of course we all know what happened next, I noticed tons of sites not being on Verotel anymore come 2010 and later.

                                                            At one time, it was possible to use Verotel to process one's site without paying the annual MCVISA fee.

                                                            Verotel closed that loophole in ~'14.

                                                            Thanks for the good years before then...

                                                                I used to work with them for a long time, but mainly with just one sponsor (and a couple of really small ones). They dropped Verotel (or Verotel dropped them) just a couple of months before the current event, so what's happening now has no further consequences for me. Still, it's sad to see companies which allowed convenient "mass collection" of funds from smaller sponsors shut their doors like this.

They dropped Verotel (or Verotel dropped them) just a couple of months before the current event, so what's happening now has no further consequences for me. Still, it's sad to see companies which allowed convenient "mass collection" of funds from smaller sponsors shut their doors like this.
                                                                            I have a feeling I know what program you are talking about. I was promoting several sites from a network on verotel and they got canned at some point about 3-4 months. Problem is that several popular free sites still promote their content.
