if there are companies that are not good and cheats in the bounty they spend then it is a bad advertisement for their project and surely they will not want to take that risk

The sad thing is that this situation happens a lot in the cryptocurrencies market. There are a lot of bounties due to the lack of control that leads to their scam and not paying the token to the bounty participant. Typically it's the Envion project, it's been 4 months that the admin team has not taken any action for rewarding members. It was a terrible act, not respect for the community. I hope 2019 will have a mechanism to control and eliminate if the ICO project fraud.

That is why before jumping on any bounty, I really put in consideration who the bounty manager is. I like to do bounties with reputable bounty managers that are fair and honest.

I don't encountered yet. Because if they have changes in the rules, they will inform it also in the telegram. So, all will be updated on what's new. Only I encountered in bounty was the "SCAM". Be careful to the scammer. But definitely, we can't tell if the said project / bounty manager are scammers.

Do you think that some bounty programs cheat because they do not want to pay bounty hunters by bringing out things to do at they end of bounty campaign? Share your thought or experience.
Participating in bounty campaigns without reward? Yeah, it happened few times but this really goes down to inability of such projects to achieve their goals before going into the whole process, this makes it hard to fulfil their promised percentage of the whole profit made.

Some bounty programs are cheat, fake and scam. They tend to dupe the bounty hunters of their rewards after they have achieved their goals and objectives. While some do not meet up with their soft cap.  Digitizecoin is just an example who doesn't meet with soft cap and therefore returned the money of its investors.
This is actually a worst case. Investors will get their money back if the soft cap isn't met. But bounty hunters lost hours of hardwork with no payment. If anyone participated in a signature campaign like that then it would have been a nightmare.
This is true, bounty campaigns with fake and scam were wasting our time and they don't care how much time and effort to make our job done well. Using fake campaigns and scammy one, they already wasted their time.

I think that happens in some bounty programs, where participants, after completing the who campaign, now bring up KYC in order to so many from getting their tokens. This is not fair on the side of those projects. These rules should always be stated at the beginning of the campaigns, so that those who cannot comply can quick look for another campaign to participate in.

It's a bit a painful experience, I mean after the rigorous stress gone through during bounty still some bounty campaigns refuse to pay participants. Well,  there may be a lot of reasons associated mainly to when such project doesn't achieve their set down goal, so they find it difficult to fulfil their promises and fold up.

Managers do not really bother. Also for projects managers mostly do not matter that part of the pool of bounty goes to scammers.

Bounty hunters need to know the manager, there are few good managers which will pay you well! There are a lot of bounty developers who do not pay at the end of the campaign.

I think that happends a lot in the last time. And the problem is, it will become normal. ANd we as the bounty hunter we can nothing do against these. SO they always write that they have the right to change the bouny rules. And what you wanna do when they change it? Cancel your participations and loose all your stakes you worked the weeks before? So its like we can nothing do against this. Expect just to participaiting in bounty campaigns with trustfull bounty managers!

If the ICO project collected a large amount of money, or just the amount that it needed, then it makes no sense not to pay. Most likely, if you are not paid the bounty of the company, then you participated in the Scam.

Not all of the bounty campaigns do this but I would be lying if I said that there are not bounty campaigns out there who do this. They take advantage of bounty hunters and use them to promote their coins and projects and when it comes to time to pay them the reward that are due to them, they start to delay it and give different excuses until the bounty hunters tire of them and move on.

Yes, of course, a lot of bounty programs are cheating and not responsible to the participants. Bounty participants have been very diligent in promoting the bounty project, then the results obtained by the participants is just a disappointment. Hopefully, the future will be reduced bounty scam program.

Possible, I experienced it. They just used peoples' effort then after the ICO end you can no longer search their thread,they GONE and it is so disappointing. You give your full trust on that ICO but ended up nothing.

The ICOs that has bounty program but dont want to pay their hunters are those projects who would like to market their products for free. The Bounty Managers cannot force them to pay the hunters because they too have been cheated by the project itself. So it is the ICO itself that are the cheaters. and as a bounty hunter we should be diligent enough to research on those projects before joining their bounty campaign so that our time and effort would not be wasted.

I don't think so, because the spreadsheet is open.

This kind of situation rarely occurs. If such a situation is encountered, then it is revealed that more people will know their scam so that they can no longer encrypt the development of the market. They should receive such punishment.
