Okay, so this is less a complaint, and more of a confusion...I wasn't sure what the appropriate forum would be...

If anyone's a member of readpay, what is the deal with cashing out? My account had over $100 in it before the odd lottery affiliate thing (which I also don't understand), but I didn't know how to cash-out--the site says everyday accounts over $100 are payed.

I would appreciate it if anyone knows any of these things I would really appreciate it.
1) How you actually cash-out.
2) If there are troubles with the site that are causing a delay
3) If anyone has been payed to date
4) What the deal is with the lottery affiliate (I read the e-mail, went to the affiliate site, and I still don't understand what the deal is, or why all that money is sitting in my account)

Thank you all.

I really doubt you'll ever get paid. There is supposed to be a cashout button that appears when you've earned $100.00. I wouldn't hold my breath on ever getting paid by them. None of the email addresses on the website worked for me when I tried contacting them.

Not to forget that there's quite a few members who have only reseaved couple of mails and have more than 10 000$ in their accounts, without the help of refs!!!! The cash in your account will multiply on it's own! I wish my bank account would do that too!

Hi Chebden,

I am just curious...

you EARNED there $100?

If so,
What have you done to earn that money,
how much time did it take you?

just curious

A site copied from another similar program.
A $100 minimum with rare emails
A site that has lots of errors such as contact options not working
A distinct lack of support
No details of cashing out.

Do you really expect to be paid!

i AM CURIOUS HOW YOU RECEIVE $100.00 I AM A MEMBER BEEN FOR A LONG TIME AND UP TO DATE ON RECEIVE 6 EMAILS. THEN IN JUNE I HAD 100.00 THEN IN JULY 306.00 THEN OVER 12,0000

The email links have all worked for me, but I have only received 2.
They gave a 100 sign-up bonus (which I thought was kind of weird, but welcomed).
And then all of a sudden they add $12,000 to my account saying in an e-mail it was an advance from lotterypay (I forget the actual name) and that for every person I refered I would get to withdraw $100 of the advance.

The thing is, it LOOKS like it could be a good deal because the lottery site costs $40, and if I could honestly withdraw 100 from the account, I could pay for friends to sign-up and still pocket $60 for each of them.

But, I honestly don't really expect to get paid...I was just trying it out to see if it would work--and I'm def. not signing up with their affiliate.

This program has scam written all over it--well, that or complete confusion and disorganization. (Neither of which I can stand!)

I was just hoping someone could tell me I was wrong, because it would be nice for the $12,000+ in the account to be mine for real!!!

Oh well, guess it's just too good to be true,
chebden

I emailed LotteryPay trying to find out if anyone was going to get paid. This is the email I recieved

From: LotteryPay

Subject: Re: [3] No Support*

XXXXX,

Obviously Readpay is completely swamped since they agreed to promote our
affiliate program. Readpay and Lotterypay are not the same company.

What exactly is your concern? We are here to help. Please state exactly
what your problem is and we will get it through the proper channels at
Readpay.

Lotterypay Customer Service

So i guess if you want to get a hold of readpay you have to go through Lotterypay link


And I still dont think they will ever pay. Just sell our info so we get FLOODED with SPAM

I recieved this from readpay just now:

*********************************************************************

Readpay wants to apologize to all members who have been confused in the
last six weeks.

Many of you have between $1000 and $18,000 in your Readpay account and
you want to know how to withdraw the money. Please read below.

While many members who have joined the Lottery affiliate program are
getting rich, some of you remain confused about how the program works.
This is not entirely your fault. Readpay accepts some of the blame.
Although we have tried to do our best to explain the program completely, we
realize now that something is missing.

Our new policy is ?if every affiliate does not earn at least $1000 in
the Lottery affiliate program then we are not doing our job?. We
understand that not everyone will get rich, but at the very least, most of you
should be able to pocket thousands of dollars with this program if you
put in the effort.

In the last month, there was a free for all. People got rich and yet
some became confused. Although many affiliates have made over $10,000 in
the last month and some have earned over $100,000, we would feel better
if every single affiliate earned over $100,000.

One of the problems is that Readpay has 10 webmasters on staff to
answer questions, yet we receive thousands of questions daily. Many of the
questions are repetitive. From now one Readpay will issue weekly
bulletins that compile answers to the top 5 to 10 questions we get via email
from you.

The most prevalent question we get is about the minimum balance
required to withdraw money from your Readpay account: If you have at least
$500 in ?cleared funds? then Readpay will email the funds to you via
Paypal or Stormpay on a 31 day cycle. Every 31 days, those who have $500 in
cleared funds will get an email from Readpay. If you cannot accept
Paypal or Stormpay you will simply reply to the email that you get at the
time to indicate that you want a check, money order or western union
transfer. Do not reply to this email telling us this now. Please wait
until you receive the ?cleared funds? email which goes out every 31 days.

Here are answers to the top 5 questions received this week:

Question#1:
What does ?cleared funds? mean?
Cleared funds represent money you earn when the people you have
referred actually subscribe to one of the Lottery programs. Although
Lotterypay loaded money upfront to your Readpay account, the funds only become
available to you only after you have referred subscribers to Lotterypay.
The people you refer must become subscribers. If they do not subscribe
then you will not receive credit.

Question#2
How do I withdraw money from my Readpay account?
You can withdraw money via Paypal, Stormpay or Check. Once you reach a
?cleared? balance of $500, funds will be sent your email address via
Paypal or Stormpay on a 30 days cycle. If you have at least $500 in
?cleared funds? then Readpay will email the funds to you via Paypal or
Stormpay. If you cannot accept Paypal or Stormpay, you will get a check or
money order or western union transfer.

Question#3
How do I find out how many people I have referred to the Lottery
program?
Each time you refer someone to Lotterypay, you will get a compensation
report via email instantly from Lotterypay. The compensation report
will provide all of the details of your earnings for that referral.

Question#4
Can I pay for the subscriptions of the people that I refer to
Lotteryapy and still get credit and collect the bonus money?
Yes, Other affiliates have mentioned that they used their own paypal
account to sign up many other members of their family and friends.

Question #5
Why was so much money uploaded to my account? Did I earn this money?
You did not earn the money yet, but you can earn the money if you refer
subscribers to Lotterypay. For each subscriber that you refer, $100 of
the money is made available to you. Lotterypay hopes to motivate you by
depositing money in your account and letting you figure out how much of
it you want to keep.

Good luck with the program. We want you to succeed. Each time you make
$100 from Lotterypay, we get $25. We don't receive any money if you
don't refer anyone. So please go out there and promote. New banners are
available on the Lotterypay website as of today.

To those of you who still have not joined the Lotterypay affiliate
program: Lotterypay pays a $100 bounty each time someone you refer
subscribes into one of the Lotterypay subscription plans. Furthermore,
affiliates earn 10% of their referrals subscription fee each month, for as long
as your referral stays subscribed in the program. Lotterypay deposited
at least $1000 of upfront money into your Readpay account. For each
person you refer, $100 clears to you each time. To join the affiliate
program, click on the following link and sign up for the ?silver plan?.
Affiliates get a break on the silver plan, but they must commit to
referring at least 1 person within 30 days. Click on the link below to join.

Smells of fraud to me......
Anyone else think it's weird the email is set to expire on 9/11?

WOW, and that email was supposed to clarify things. I got confused just reading the first paragraph. They are saying they give you all that money in your account, but it is not really yours. Only a $100.00 becomes available when and if a referrer subscribes to the LotterPay. HMMMMM....then it takes actually $500.00 to cash out not the $100.00 it seems everyone was under the impression it would be. So sorry I have a headache now.........to much thinking, calculating, and remembering, oh and do not forget guessing with this one.....So glad I quit a long time ago......

Yeah, I got that e-mail too...it was supposed to add validity to the program--like there actually is a way to cash-out (i.e. they plan on sending payment through e-mail.)

Thank you all you people who could see through this scam before me...otherwise I might have been tempted to take the offer...

Afterall how does an extra $60 per person you sign up ($100 they give you - $40 one month subscription) sound when all you have to do is remember to unsubscribe them...tempting...

But we all now know there is no valid phone number and the vague and confusing explanation screams, "SCAM!"

chebden.

Oh, and did anyone else find it odd that there is no seperation of the money...(i.e. why isn't the $4.20 I earned from e-mails in a seperate catagory from the money "credited"???)

btw.. .. Noo Point Unsubscribing... you'll still get the mails .. ..

yep

i unsuscribed, or at least i was under the impression i did.
and the still gave me $13000.

wow nice company, to bad i blocked their emails as spam, now i will never see my money grow

THE FUNNY THING OR SHOULD I SAY BAD THINGS. I AM SEEING ALOT OF PEOPLE ADVERTISE THEIR SITE. ITS CRAZY ONE PERSON SAID THEY EARN OVER $12,000 WITHOUT ANY REFERRALS AND THEY JUST JOINED THE SITE IN JUNE. JUST CRAZY JUST CRAZY. I GUESS THEY THINK THEY GOING TO GET PAID. I DIDNT UNSUBSCRIBE I JUST FIND IT AMUSING TO SEE WHAT HAPPEN NEXT. ITS NOT LIKE THEY GET A TON OF EMAILS.

ok readpay sent me an email for the lottery thing said they put $100.00 in my account in good faith for the lottery thing. the mailings which is 2 that i have gotten were to my old email address after i updated my info and i dont think they have any intention of paying any of us. you know the old addage if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is . lol

Has anyone ever got a conformation email on a referral? I've advertised this on
a couple of safelists that i've had luck promoting gambling sites before an received
well over 50,000 clicks an never got 1 referral. Seems strange to me. I would have thought someone would have joined. Oh well I still have 200000 more clicks to. well see what happens.

not me though i had people joining that i knew join readpay then lotterypay ( mind you these are people that i know and a few i don't) i have over supposedly 10,000 in readpay never have gotten a referral letter from lotterypay nor one red cent from readpay i am still as poor as i was when i joined, but my monitor certainly has become rich as that is the only place i see those numbers

my account amount is $13608.00 and there is NO button on any page to rudeem money. I have sent emails as well. no responce.

$13608?!?!?!?!?! HOLY CRAP!

i am not even a member and i still recieve e-mails from them...

we can't georginaj2000 unless we have those confirmations that people have signed under us ( those letters noone seems to have gotten).. this is what readpay says....Question#3
How do I find out how many people I have referred to the Lottery program?
Each time you refer someone to Lotterypay, you will get a compensation report
via email instantly from Lotterypay. The compensation report will provide all of
the details of your earnings for that referral., What does ?cleared funds? mean?
Cleared funds represent money you earn when the people you have referred
actually subscribe to one of the Lottery programs. Although Lotterypay loaded
money upfront to your Readpay account, the funds only become available to you
only after you have referred subscribers to Lotterypay. The people you refer
must become subscribers. If they do not subscribe then you will not receive
credit.

then ..Question#2
How do I withdraw money from my Readpay account?
You can withdraw money via Paypal, Stormpay or Check. Once you reach a ?cleared?
balance of $500, funds will be sent your email address via Paypal or Stormpay on
a 30 days cycle. If you have at least $500 in ?cleared funds? then Readpay will
email the funds to you via Paypal or Stormpay. If you cannot accept Paypal or
Stormpay, you will get a check or money order or western union transfer

i think basically it all means you get JACK but they do thank you for looking at the advertisers and really making them money ...mean i have more than u but do by a couple hundred(seems as if its growing by the day actually those referrals must be winning the lottery because and my numbers are getting larger) but i have yet to get the mysterious confirmation letters ,and none of the people i signed up that i know have won but i did get readpay some business i just wish they were honest we all promoted our lil hearts off for them and their advertiser

People My account shows that I have over $13,610 but still no redeem button!!!

I'm going to see if I can explain it to you.

Readpay has joined up with a group called Lotterypay. In order for you to get that money you have to refer people. Supposedly for every person that you refer that joins up with lotterypay they(readpay) will release $100.00 of the money in your account that you can supposedly redeem.

Now for the BIG BUT....

I dont know anyone that has ever received one dollar from them(READPAY). I also dont know anyone that has ever gotten a response from them through their contact form. People have also never been able to get ahold of them through their phone #.

But you will get a lot of spam since they sell your email address. Read their privacy policy. They basicly dont have one.

So Ive written this one off as a SCAM. So have a lot of other people.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news..

Is anyone reacive payment from them ?

No!!!
