Yes, maybe a bright red note on their posting like "THIS SIG CAMPAIGN HAS NOT PAID OUT YET." to let people know there is no track record of paying out yet.

Well, no new campaigns should be put here or on any list until they pay for at least 1 month, that's a good start.  Second, you'd think only a handful of people would sign up for any new campaign until the OP proves it is legit.

I think they should have their own separate section, but until they pay out they can't be considered legitimate unless they're from an already trusted member.

I have the intention to list any campaign that doesn't scream SCAM. Anyone joining a campaign should make a little bit of an effort to verify whether something looks reasonable.

A new campaign that offers reasonable rates that are in-line with everyone else and where the owner is sufficiently communicative and responds to questions can be included in the list, I've done it this way before.

But if you offer more than the best-paying campaign and also make the payout depend on total posts rather than posts per month, then it's just too good to be true. Coupled with no proof of funds being available or use of escrow and it was obvious where it was headed.

I guess it's more of a reference point for people, but maybe we shouldn't do anything to promote blatant scams, but maybe the info should be put out there with a warning. Might actually help that way.

Well Bitsplay.ga finally stopped by to update us on the sitch:

Someone please give me a Scammer tag! Wink
sadly we have no system which check who is going good and who is scammer its a big problem here I start work with Coinlender its not pay to me then bit 365 no pay now I am in PD and its one of good campaign's hope its works

There are plenty of ways and systems to minimise risk. PD has paid out for months and has reputation here. When new guys pop up they need to show proof that they will pay out, otherwise you should leave them well alone.

Yup, already posted in that thread calling out for the operator to provide proof that his campaign is legit. He hasn't posted since he made the original offer, so I'm pretty sure it's a scam.

Not much happening with regards to legit new ad-campaigns recently.

Yeah, especially not ones that will come close to PrimeDice's payouts.

I'm sure we'll get a boom of them next year from Bitcoin entrepreneurs who want their Bitcoin website promoting, but it's not really worth taking the gamble on them to be honest.

Is there any particular reason why you're not partaking in a signature ad?

I don't like ads that pay based on posts-per-month, since they encourage the most spamming. Ads that pay out based on total posts also benefit post-spammers, but to a much lesser extent. And since TFs ad-campaign ended along with his services, there hasn't been a similar campaign with payouts that I care about.

What was Trade Fortress' deal? He was a bit before my time, but I see he has over 300 negative feedbacks now.

Though the payouts were higher (0.4 BTC for the top tier) for most of the duration of the campaign. In november, it was announced that TF's main website, Inputs.io was hacked and several thousands of coins were stolen. There are doubts whether this hack really happened or whether it was staged. If you search the forums, there is plenty of discussion about it.

Maybe you could add a pending / awaiting verification part to the list for those that want to check out other potential options, although I guess it's not long to wait till we see if you know who pays out  Cheesy.

Maybe, but I don't know if it'll be that useful. The only campaign that currently falls into that category is bitsplay.ga, and so far the consensus seems to be that it's not legit. I tend to add a campaign as soon as it's announced unless there are good reasons not to. People should use some common sense in evaluating the trustworthiness of an ad-campaign before subscribing.

Well, only time will tell if he pays out or not, but somebody's gotta take the punt and test his offer out I guess, but I was surprised many people did jump on it.

may I ask if You have a bitcoin gambling website?
I don't.

if not, why not?
The Bitcoin gambling space is plenty full by now and I don't have any innovative ideas. Besides, the time I have for serious development is seriously limited, so I stick with personal hobby projects.

Haha.
