                                                          It's called giving a Rebate, and is common practice in mainstream, not sure why it wouldn't be allowed in Adult.

                                                                      You think people don't join trials and cancel all the time anyway?

People are signing up to rip off a piece of the sponsors cash, not because they're interested in the site. When a sponsor pays PPS they're investing in a targetted customer, how well do you think his accounts rebill?

                                                                                                                  It's nothing at all like a rebate. A rebate is me buying a product for $100 and getting something like $20 or $30 back. Show me a mainstream rebate where I can spend $1 and get myself a check for $20.

                                                                                                                  The guy is stealing from the sponsor. If anyone can't see that, they're fucking stupid.

I'm just amazed at all of the replies from people that see nothing wrong with it.

Using it for revshare would be OK. Surfer buys a membership for $30.00, you get $15.00 and pay the surfer $5.00 back. No problem at all.

                                                                                                                                              But for pps it´s simply stealing from the sponsor.

Does he tell them to cancel trials?

If I have a product sale for a produt that is say $50.00, and that company is paying me 75% of the sale ($37.50), I can, and do, offer rebates up to $20 that I personally pay that person 90 days after the sale via PayPal.

                                                                                                                                                              I have been doing it for years, and I make a lot of money doing it. It's very common practice.

                                                                                                                                                              80% of the people don't even collect their rebates.
                                                                                                                                                              There's nothing at all wrong with that. You're giving a rebate. What this guy is doing is stealing from the sponsor program. You're cutting your own profit margin to give an incentive to the surfer to make a purchase. This guy is abusing the PPS system and the sponsor program is getting fucked.

However the way he has it set up currently is leaning towards fraud.

No defence for this sort of shitty practise.

                                                                                                                                                                                      The guy has the audacity to question Silvercash for this not being in the Terms! Fucking laughable.

This practise was occuring some years ago with Clickcash/iFriends sites.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Instant account termination from the sponsor should take place.

A rebate is me buying a product for $100 and getting something like $20 or $30 back. Show me a mainstream rebate where I can spend $1 and get myself a check for $20.

                                                                                                                                                                                          The guy is stealing from the sponsor. If anyone can't see that, they're fucking stupid.

I'm gonna go give them a try.
