Very small compared to their overall volume.Comment

Real ballpark here.
Say Visa does about $1 trillion in debit and prepaid transactions annually.
Then say internet porn sales are about $5 billion and say half of those are visa (compared to MC, checks, whatever)
You are looking at about 1/4 of 1%.

less than 10% was still a lot
but 0.25
so, should we worry about VISA going public?
is that a fact? would it go public?

Isn't VISA a 3-4trillion dollar global company? So if globally we did 20 billion, that's like a half a percent. So I agree with colin, 1/4 of 1% sounds about right.
spunkmaster, our industry has a rather low cb %, 1 %. The standard merchant account has a much higher limit. Most department stores, gas stations, all types of shit, even more so around the holidays, can sky rocket in cb's - far past the levels of our industry.Last edited by TheDoc; 02-26-2008, 12:37 PM.

It is not a question on how big a % the adult represent of their global revenues, more how big a % of the visa cardholders use the card for adult services that is important
Then again more than 75% of the porn surfers today have no credit card (visa / mc or similar) to pay withI buy plugs

Ya people are missing something though.
Account for the interest rate the card user's are paying.
I am willing to bet it comes to a pretty substantial amount monthly.
Any Accruing interest rate is undocumented gold to Creditors especially these days as many people are well over 24% and the average "joe" lookin at 20%.
However Adult transaction itself compared to mainstream I would say is fairly small when compared to the economic world as a whole.Last edited by AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE; 02-26-2008, 05:56 PM.

But then you can also look at it another way...
People pay Internet providers monthly an average of 70 bucks a month and use it to access Adult Entertainment ( Most of it free ).
Many use there Computers daily to access stored adult content.
A PC they own mind you that steals your content daily.
I mean the line to where Adult Ends and Mainstream begins is a complex web of costs and here we all are today fuskering each other as each of us gives it away free.
I would say the winners in all this are the major internet providers and creditors. The wealth in an Adult profession will never hold a candle to the profits made by those outside the industry yet attatched to the hip at the heart of it all to each of us.
I would be willing to bet that if Adult was removed from the net ( Draconically Speaking ) the Internet would be a very boring place not worth really looking at except to get charts, data information and family albums and music videos.Last edited by AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE; 02-26-2008, 06:03 PM.
