Bux.to doubts start to build up!

There were a couple of bad rumors already arising from this PTC giant, and we've noticed some unusual stuff going on in the site ourselves. The shocking revelation revealed to us by Paid.vg's admin about Bux.to and with the GPTBoycott boycotting this site are reasons enough to put us on Alert Mode. However, note that the said factors has not greatly affected our confidence with the site, but the warning signs we've seen on the site ourselves tell us not to completely trust this site, and that is why we are currently putting this site under further investigation.

From Paypal to Alertpay

Paypal is a trusted entity owned by Ebay, which highly protects its users from fraud. For a site using Paypal, it certainly shows that the site has high standards. As for Paypal freezing Bux.to's account, it must mean that the site had some unhappy members who reported the site to Paypal. We don't know for sure what that reasons are, but we can bet that they are concerning account upgraders/referral buyers who got their account deleted for some reason. There may still be other reasons, but I'm sure that Paypal is not the type of entity who would just freeze an account without good reason.

The Paypal incident had already delivered a blow on Bux.to, and this prompted the site to switch to Alertpay.

Cheating Incidents

Bux.to had been reported to have vulnerabilities when it comes to cheating. Some people had reported that the site could be cheated. One cheat allows you to gain more cents, and another regards multiple account creation, thus, ruining the PTC business. This certainly helps pull the site down, however, we still cannot confirm some of these rumors, that is except for the multi-account cheat, which had been proven to us by a friend through an experimental model.

Low Outside Advertisers, and More Site Promotion

We've noticed that Bux.to has changed in terms of ad availability. We've joined this site as a Free Member since January, and we've seen a lot of outside advertisers the first time we got on this site, however, it seems that there are only a few of them advertising on this site nowadays. The site now shows a lot of site promotional ads that are funded by the site itself. They are still worth 1c each, but the fact that they are funded by the site means a lose for the site, however, we can suffice to say that this move is essential to gain more advertisers, upgraders, and referral buyers, since these are all needed to keep the system running.

We are currently running under Free Member, so we cannot determine if there are more outside advertiser ads, exclusive only for Upgraded Members. We've heard that those who Upgraded gets to see at least 20 ads per day. Maybe Bux.to had most of their outside advertisers open for viewing only to premium members, unfortunately we could not confirm this possibility.

Delayed Payouts

Payouts are being delayed for more than 2 mos. to some, most especially among the Free Members. We already have a pending payout which is more than 60 days old, and this violates Bux.to's very own TOS. If they can't pay on time, it means one thing.. they have a problem maintaining the stability of the site. Moreover, not paying on time could mean that they don't have enough funds to pay everybody.

Weighing the good and bad factors

There is no perfect business model existing in this world today. Every business model has its weaknesses and vulnerabilities, so to say, every business always has a tendency to fall no matter how strong it is. Bux.to had proven itself capable of surviving many trials but this does not mean that they are totally unbreakable.

Now, Bux.to had provided enough proof that it is a tried and true system and that it works for everyone. There are too many proof from its members that provides substantial evidence for its legitimacy, and so far, only a few ever had any complaints, that is why Bux.to could still be classified under the legitimate wing. However, we have not received any payments from this site and this is not a good sign for what we believe as a strong PTC site. Moreover, we cannot also deny the possibilities mentioned earlier. With this same reason, we are removing this site from our list of Paying Sites until they show us the money.
