Helix - Not Paying?

yes starting too look like that. it’s just beyond belief for such a well known studio and old program.

I wrote Keith a final email today, just asking for at least some communication about what’s going on. After promoting him for well over a decade if not nearly two he at least owes me a reply, and that i will switch off all traffic today and redirect elsewhere.

My last Paypal payment was December 27, they’ve missed two payments now totaling $300.

I did notice that they also stopped uploading affiliate content to the webmasters area, the last was March 25.

Yeah, exact same last payout date for me. Account balance is almost $2k.

Still sending out Newletters:

Happy Pride! Check out these pride scenes! :rainbow_flag:

I don’t think I have gotten a newsletter from them in actual years despite being signed up for them.

Same, a bit over $2500…

And yes, still get newsletters now and then.

Of course they will continue to send out newsletters and ignore affiliates because newsletters make them money where they don’t have to pay an affiliate.

Just an idea, but has anyone thought of sending a press release to Xbiz / AVN etc., announcing the program no longer pays affiliates and getting quotes from people here about not getting their money? What really pisses me off is seeing them still being nominated for and winning awards at the Grabbies, GayVN etc. I would think not paying webmasters should be grounds to ban them from participating in these things, especially AVN and XBiz which are supported by Webmasters.

It’s perhaps worth noting that str8upgayporn and queerclick are still posting Helix promo material, so it appears that Helix is continuing to support selected affiliates while ditching the rest, since recent content isn’t available on Helix’s affiliate site.

I messaged the person running str8upgayporn a month or so ago asking if they’d be willing to let me know if they’re still getting paid but I guess they aren’t, haven’t heard back.

Isnt the owner of Queerclick a member on here ?

I’m too jaded by now to assume it means much but for what it’s worth, they added a bunch of new embeds/downloadables after a three month break.

I doubt everyone will suddenly get paid now but at least it looks like they didn’t give up on the whole affiliate program yet.

Still not a word from them, after many emails sent to them.

Did anyone hear anything from them? Anyone got paid?

Nothing since end of Jan for us. No reply from Keith or customer service or Affiliate support.

No reply at all. Not from skype, mail nor support via Helixcash :frowning:

This one really has got under my skin more than other non-payments. It’s a huge brand, some of us have been working with them for what… 15+ years? And at least you could expect some type of excuse or something.
