Important Note For All Royal Cash Webmasters, Affiliates and Partners.
We are very sorry to inform you that our Partnership Program of Royal Cash has been experienced serious troubles last months. We've been with you for many years and always did our best to ensure the most efficient conversion of your traffic. We always went with the times and offered our members quality content even lately when the times got tough for adult biz.

In October 2016 the Royal Cash program was taken over by a new owner and the good old days are over. Most of the team was fired. Unfortunately the new owner implemented much more risky policy that leads the business to red zone.

In July 2017 the most reliable and popular payment processors including Epoch, Segpay and Verotel have closed our accounts due to severe violations of VISA and MasterCard policy (credit card fraud, spam, CP, etc.) and we lost most of our (and your) rebilling members. Royal Cash new owner is under FBI investigation.

As our banking accounts were closed too we established a new Company in Czech Republic under the name of IK Media s.r.o. and we have taken a desperate attempts to set a new relationships with banks and processing companies to still servicing our traffic.

In August 2017 we moved to NATS with the goal to temporary reducing affiliate payouts any possible way as the actual payment balance was negative.

Since September 23 we have experienced significant problems with servicing your affiliate traffic as our servers constantly under serious DDOS-attacks.

Thank you for being with us and good luck in all of your future endeavors!

Just read that. Wondering who this new owner was...

abshard 10-03-2017 10:52 PM

Where was this posted? Sounds like it is written by someone that no longer works there? I don't see it in the admin and I don't have an email from them.

PornDiscounts-V 10-03-2017 11:24 PM

What is odd is anybody who hacked their database or had legit access to it could write that.

They haven't paid since August 17 and they also completely stopped replying to emails last month after they switched to NATS and stuff was broken, so I think it's legit.

Klen 10-03-2017 11:43 PM

Hmm i think i saw them at TES. Strange going to show one day, and second day announce closure.

CrazyMartin 10-04-2017 12:16 AM

and what about other connected programs?

i mean
longbucks and brothersincash.com etc ?

who owns it? the same persons? they are new owners?

maybe people who owns brotherincash before bought royalcash?

so we should pull all links? for longbucks, brotherincash and royalcash ?

and anyone know similar program / sites to replace links?

Sharon1974 10-04-2017 12:30 AM

Maybe I don't get it but it not actually says they are closing. I'ts a explanation of the problems they are experiencing now. And about two weeks ago they launched Mega Traffic - We buy adult photo/video tube traffic But there are two pending payments now and no more contact so...

miguel7 10-04-2017 01:17 AM

Really strange...

They pay me without any problem, I got last payment on 2017-09-05. (Next payment should be on 2017-10-20)
Since they switched to NATS (last month), the new sales increased about 100% more then before...

Last days, sometimes I have problem to login (maybe bacause of those DDOS)

Anyway, I do not understand their email, who sent it? And who is the owner now?

That's how I read it first as well, but then the last sentence "Thank you for being with us and good luck in all of your future endeavors!" makes it sound different.

It's weird, it sounds like maybe an internal fight between several partners or something.

Fact is still that they stopped paying most (?) of their affiliates and ignore emails for the last month so it doesn't look good.

Yea that's what I felt too. Also the email sounds like it was written by an ex-employee rather than the current management.

Either way, it looks very bad.

miguel7 10-04-2017 01:43 AM

Owner(s) or directors of IK Media s.r.o. are
IVAN KIRILLOV, Sankt Peterburg, Russia and
MARTIN HYHLÍK, Czech republic
since 2017-08-16

PornDude 10-04-2017 01:47 AM

Whoever the new owner is, this email makes them look really bad.

So I presume a group of ex-employees/owners warning us about the guy who owns their business.

This is also unethical x2 :2 cents:

Nope. Brothersincash is not affiliated with Royal-cash/Longbucks. We had link exchange program in the past, we did member's area cross sells with Royal-cash. That's it.

At this moment Brothersincash is not affiliated with these two programs.

But they still use "WE" and they are talking about problems in last days...
It sounds like a very critical stuff who still works there... (Most of the team was fired.)

longbucks disconnected the Hosted Video Server yesterday, and those are now all gone :( thats a couple of thousand movies they had webmasters use for generating traffic.

Sorry to see them go

jscott 10-04-2017 04:35 AM

Sad to know some serious issues happening with this long time nice affiliate program.

Looking forward to hearing from the real management/ownership about it's current situation.

Konda 10-04-2017 04:41 AM

Just received another email (with over 200 affiliates on the CC...)

Quote:

So it is time for us to step back and let other teams lead the way. We are thus asking you to stop sending us traffic within the next 7 days. We will make all final payments to our webmasters on October 16 and after that Royal-Cash.com will be shut down.

Thank you for being with us and good luck in all of your future endeavors!

miguel7 10-04-2017 04:52 AM

It's going to be fun.

Long time ddos attacks and fake emails from royal cash managament?
Royal Cash, What have you done so horrible? And to who?

miguel7 10-04-2017 05:00 AM

Anyway, this a little scared me.

To be sure, I signed up on TeenMegaWorld through my partnership account.
- I see this sale counted in NATS
- in membership area all works, checked updates for last 3 months and it looks site is updated almost every day with new video.

I did myself there.
It has calmed me a little.

I use about 100+ clips, checked a few random ones and all loading fine so their video server isn't down, maybe some old content got removed over time?

I placed it last week online. There is an option that they use httaccess document to allow certain affiliates to continue? with braincash I had a look alike situation years ago, they just grandfathered the vids on referring URL to save probably a shitload of data traffic, anyway, it did helped us to continue with braincash but for longbucks we have not a long history, so dumping them would be cheaper.

I don't think so, I spoke with Longbucks support today and they said free hosted promo stuff is working.

The videos are hosted on video10.thepluginz.com
that page is on a cloud fare, you can just go to the mp4 directly and you get halted by this page

Per GEO this might be different, but I did send the screens to them on Skype

I placed a screen here ( https://ibb.co/fLXLVb ) to see the message that comes up when you directly link to the mp4

As said, I am speaking with him to provide them as much info as I can, it is in our favor to have this resolved. Dumping is only a last option.

Ok, they have lots of hosted promo stuff, probably on more subdomains so something might be up, something down. I'm glad you are in touch with them and hope they fix it soon.

Would it not be better to move to a reduced revshare than close entirely?

Think of it as getting 25% or nothing.

Royal Cash 10-04-2017 07:48 AM

Dear Affiliates and Partners!

You possible received fraud mail from our company last 24 hours.
The message was that "We are thus asking you to stop sending us traffic"
Our mail server was hacked and it was sent by unauthorized person.

We assure you that our network is working normally, all payouts will be done as usual.
Our security department investigating this case now, we will make everything to prevent situations like this in future!
We are always in touch - please contact us if you need any additional info
