Affiliate marketing can be a great way to earn extra passive income from home. You work with well known brand name companies such as Google, Amazon, Ebay, etc. From the business standpoint affiliate marketing is very low risk form of advertising. Because you only pay for performance achieved by affiliates. Whether you're looking to promote your business or make money promoting other businesses there are many affiliate networks out there. MaxBounty is one of them. But are they actually legitimate? Let's find out in my MaxBounty Review.
What is MaxBounty?
MaxBounty.com is a Cost Per Action (CPA) affiliate network that matches advertisers and affiliates to promote a wide range of products and services. Affiliate marketers JP Suave and Steven Suave founded Maxbounty in 2004. Its corporate headquarters are in Ottawa, Canada. At the time of this review, the network platform has over 18,000 affiliates.
How Does MaxBounty Work?
Maxbounty helps advertisers with their marketing needs by matching them up with a network of affiliates to help them sell their products and services online. Affiliates earn a commission by promoting these products on their websites or social media platforms. Commissions are earned from this performance marketing when visitors to their website click on the advertisement, fill out a form, or make a purchase.
Commission payouts are made on a net 15 basis. This means that if an affiliate makes any sales during a particular month, then the payout is given on the 15th of the following month. Payment is through direct deposit, check, PayPal and various other gateway options. There is no cost to sign up as an affiliate.
MaxBounty Features

What We Like About MaxBounty
Excellent BBB Rating: At the time of this review, MaxBounty has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and no accreditation. No customer has lodged a complaint with the company for the past three years.
Super Supportive: Many online reviews boast of the company's support system from its customer service representatives. Whether it's a tech issue with the platform or a billing complaint, the company is quick to respond and handle every situation that arises to make the affiliate happy.
Performance Marketing Training: The company offers an online course on how to affiliate market products and services appropriately online. The MaxBounty University program features video-based training on strategies and tips regarding affiliate marketing. The program is free for MaxBounty affiliates.
Different types of affiliate offers: One of the things I've always loved about Maxbounty is that you can make money promoting lead based offers. Lead based offers tend to be easier to convert than sales based offers. But maxbounty gives you the option of choosing either types.
MaxBounty Complaints
Intensive Signup Process: The whole process for acceptance as an affiliate is much more restrictive in comparison to other affiliate networks. To join, you need to submit a detailed online application that asks for your basic contact information and experience with affiliate marketing. An affiliate manager then reviews this information to see if you qualify with some experience. You then have to speak with the manager by phone. The manager will ask you to prove how you intend to promote the available product campaigns. If you don't have some experience and a website, your application most likely will not meet approval.
Minimum $100 Payout Requirement: Before you can cash out any earnings you have made, you must make at least $100 in campaign earnings. Depending on how good you are at promoting, it can be a while before you can access any actual money.
Make Sure You Follow Their Campaign Rules: The company has strict rules on how to promote an affiliate company. You need to make sure you follow everything exactly. If you don't, the company will close down your account. This will cause you to lose all earnings you have made up to that point.
So Does MaxBounty Actually Work?
MaxBounty is a legitimate affiliate marketing network. I have been an affiliate with them for many years. You can definitely earn money as an affiliate with this company. The company does offer some limited free affiliate marketing training and rewards its top earners with an all-expense paid trip and performance bonuses. The company's customer service is extremely supportive.
As long as you follow the rules and speak to your affiliate manager before engaging in any promotions, you'll be fine. If you own a website and you'd like to make some passive income, it's definitely worth giving Maxbounty a shot. If you have any thoughts or experiences with MaxBounty, I want to hear from you.

Maxbounty scamming me to worship the advertiser :( :-
hello folk
i want to share with you what’s happen with me at maxbounty network !!!
it was my first month to me with them and my AM was ( Tania Laroche Duhamel ) i working with here with a lot of traffic sources as any new one to know what’s good for them and continue with the good one and expect the bad one , till now it’s good
at the first month i make about $2300 but they told me there are one offer have low quality traffic so will remove it and already did that and my payment was $2164 as i remember , so i ask if the other is good she told me from the beginning of the other month to 10th you will know the feedback and if any thing is bad will tell you and remove the bad payment from this offer ( and i was working at more than 10 offers ), so i stop all my traffic from all my sources and wait them .
it was 13th and nothing and i asked my AM told me every thing is ok , so i continue my working at the next month and make more than $5000 then at the 14th ( it was just one day and i will get my payment they told me your friend have bad quality traffic so your payment is hold and we will ask for review if you have a fraud traffic we will close your account as we did with him , ( my friend !!!!!! ) so i told my AM it’s ok , by the way you already told me that my quality is good and i will get my payment and also for the next month my quality is good . ( i have screenshot from our chatting )
then after 10h i see that she block me at skype and didn’t answer me all of AM that belong to maxbounty blocking me and send to me mail told me that my account is closed and if i think it was an error replay and told us why ? , and i did it and told them everything and ask them so why now you closed my mail but without any answer , and asking them about my old payment that them already get this money from the advertiser because they told me also before that they get the money and the feedback from 1th t 10th from every month then send to us the money if it the first time and it was weekly told us to return the money if the traffic is bad or there are any refunds , or say nothing that’s mean everything is ok ,

A SCAM
I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED
I applied to Max bounty on December 2019 to open an account with them. I was put in touch with a guy called Matt Provincal. He said that I needed to open an account with a company called Skrill in order for payments to be processed. This he did for me by using Skype for our communications. He further stated that I needed to make a deposit with them in order to do this. I have since found out from Skrill that this is not correct, They do not charge to open an account. After a few attempts to transfer money in he gave up for that day. I then found out that £400 + had been taken from my account and he had tried to take a further £800. The money taken was transferred to a bank in Pakistan. THIS IS A SCAM there is no other word for it. I have tried on a number of occasions to contact him and asked him to refund the money he took, but he refuses to answer me.
I appeal to the bosses of Max Bounty to look into this matter urgently before I report the whole thing to The Canadian Fraud Office.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I doubt the person was really from Maxbounty. Sometimes scam artist will act like they are part of legit companies to scam people out of their money. So I’m pretty sure that’s what happened here.
