All the bounties have a general rule to they can change rules anytime. If we are doing bounties, we have to accept them. Some bounties change allocation end of the campaigns, some bounties need KYC end of the campaign and many more. That's how goes bounties right now.
like most other projects that the team has the right to change the rules about their project, so prize hunters must be aware and also be prepared to accept the risks and all the consequences as well. don't just expect big rewards but don't work well, I mean be more careful in choosing a signature project.

I want to warn bounty hunters about bounty projects that pays bounty rewards to their platform or websites instead of ETH contract address, they mostly go against their words and you have no control over the tokens even if you have your login details..
Those who promoted Cryptomarketads(CMA) and Moozicore(MZG) knows what i'm talking about, i have decide to stop promoting such projects

Undoubtedly, participation in bounty companies has become much more complicated and undefined than in the same 2017. I noticed for a long time that project admins began to feel worse about the participants of the bounty companies, became irresponsible and often blamed the participants for all problems related to the price of their token or coin. Also very often conditions began to be violated, in some cases they do not want to pay at all. In a word - they are bullied. However, not all admins and companies are. The fact that payments are made to the balance of the site does not mean a problem or fraud, but in any case, I would like to receive a reward immediately to my personal wallet.
To be honest I have previously participated in the Moozicore (MZG) and CryptoMarketAds (CMA) projects and no tokens have entered my wallet, while I have also completed their KYC but until now everything has been crap. I have stopped to participate in such projects.

Usually they will give the reward to our account wallet, the problem is when they delay the distribution or withdrawal.
A good bounty campaign will give the reward to the hunter's personal wallet, so the hunters no need to create new account for the reward.
I promoted eterbase which is an exchange project and we were told that we will get paid on the exchange platform but they end up keeping their promise, right now i received my reward on eterbase exchange and guess what? they have good trading volume on the exchange as well, the fact is you can't use this to judge bounties, some will pay and some won't
I am currently promoting ez365 project and we are been told to use the same email address we used to signup on the exchange for the bounty because thats where the reward will be sent to, its still a risk i am willing to take because not all project will be the same

actually, not all projects make it difficult for the bounty hunter, because it all depends on the objectives of the project in question. some projects that I know of using wallets from the platform/web are also quite good, and easier to swap. it's just that some projects do not want to pay bounty hunters, or always procrastinate with reasons to keep prices.just want to remind you that projects that have high quality will easily pay the bounty hunter. the quality can be seen when the project is complete, it covers the distribution of tokens to holders, looks for exchangers, and so on. we can sometimes guess the potential of the project from little things like this.
Bounty projects are changing rules frequently now a days, even good projects are not keeping their promises. Bounty rewards are not being distributed on time and even there is delay in product release by many projects. Many projects are following the road map and launching their product but are delaying bounty rewards with the fear of dumping as market conditions are not favorable. Its very difficult to chose a legit project now a days as 1 out of 10 projects executing what they promise before the campaign.
the truth is that not only investors get scammed, hunters too... and hunters are so easy to scam ...
There is no respect for hunters, so there is also no quality in their work... it is an unfortunate cycle...
I have had my share of useless bounties, in such a way that right now I only work on 1-2 at a time... good projects are becoming hard to find...
I'm tired of working for nothing

But not all projects as you said, it all depends on the team that manages the project, if the team working on a project cannot reach the target then we as bounty hunters and investors who become victims, now things like this have often happened so we as bounty hunters must be careful.
It's often that it's happened today inside this industry, the only thing to do now is to make sure that each projects to support will be carefully analyze, with good understanding with the possible use of the projects and how the team are working behind, chance of picking the right project is always in the hands of the users that will take part. Don't easily be attracted with high bonuses or rewards, make sure to study and learned all the potentials before joining.
It still the same result friend, what will happen if you are been told to submit your eth address to receive rewards and after bounty ends you got nothing? or you even get your reward and the token has no volume on exchange? what are you going to do then? its all same end result with bounty rewards

We cant blame them for doing this, they value their token the most and don't want the bounty hunters to dump the price which is actually true. You know as a bounty hunter and a holder I like the idea of this team that locked the token from bounty hunters if I see a real potential on the project I really hold that coin/token for a long time.

I know how you feel bro. But the fact is that the bounty hunter does not have any control over the changes given. In developer side, this may want to reduce the participants who cheat. That way it's easier for them to find out. But the story is different if you have to KYC first. I hate bounties that need KYC to redeem the reward. Sometimes it happened at some bounty ago without any prior notification. That's not the deal at the beginning.

Thanks for the information. We really need to avoid that kind because all we know that promoting project is not easy so if we encounter like this kind of campaign we will waste our time and money. So before joining in every campaign make sure that you had done research about the project to avoid that kind of problem.
Bounty hunting always comes with an element of risk. It is unfortunate, but yes sometimes they don't pay. This may be intentional, but sometimes the bounty managers have good intentions and are let down by a failing project - if an ICO fails to hit softcap, then it just isn't a viable project, and so there is no reward available. We just have to be very careful about the types of project we promote. Research is important, but certainly there is an element of luck to it as well - no-one can predict anything in crypto with perfect accuracy.
I feel your pain, its really frustrating when teams pay rewards to bounty hunters through websites and you can't withdraw them or they put some kind of lock on the tokens, i have joined few bounties that paid on their website and till date i haven't been able to withdraw my tokens
FilesFM is among
Moozicore is among
Its better to stop promoting projects that tell you to register on website to receive bounty rewards

Bounty hunting is all about luck, they mostly end up delaying after bounty ends to prevent dumps or to cheat bounty hunters, mind you not all bounties are the same, few projects will allow people to withdraw from the website without delays of any kind

Have been to some bounties that requires you to register to their website and pay through it instead of your erc-20 wallet and I have observed that there are some who would make delaying excuses, lock-up period, kyc and etc. Honestly, I would rather receive my bounties directly to my wallet so Ican handle my bounty once I am paid.
