How do I get Paid?

*

You will get paid monthly with a minimum account balance of $10. You have the option to increase your minimum payment to $25, $50 or $100. All payments will be in US dollars and made via PayPal or moneybookers.com, depending on the country you reside in. All users will be required to have a valid PayPal or moneybookers.com account. myLot is not responsible for any fees incurred in the payment process (i.e. translation fees, taxes, bank fees, credit card fees, PayPal fees, etc.) Click here to learn how to sign up for a moneybookers account.
*

While we would love to pay everyone, regulations set forth by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), an office of the US Treasury, prohibits myLot from sending money to certain countries. The good news is users from all countries will still be able to participate in myLot discussions. The bad news is users from countries included on the OFAC list will not be able to earn money for their contributions.

Who is responsible for any taxes or fees as a result of the payment I receive from myLot?

*

You are responsible for any and all taxes and fees that are associated with the myLot payment that you receive.


What can I do to increase my earnings?

*

What an excellent question, and one we hope every myLot user will ask.
*

Use myLot, post discussions, respond to discussions.
*

Post quality content. For example, generate discussions that engage other users and provide insightful responses and comments to other users discussions to further the topic
*

Refer friends. For each person you send to myLot you will receive a bonus equal to 25% of their discussion and image earnings.


How do I calculate my earnings?

*

Discussion activity earnings are calculated based on a proprietary model that rewards quality responses, relevant discussions and images.


Why haven't my earnings updated?

*

myLot has a 24 hour earnings period from midnight to midnight in the United States Central Standard Time.
*

So based on time zone differences your earnings may not update when you think they should and when you post it may be a day earlier or later.
*

myLot tries to have earnings updated around the same time each day, however some days it may be earlier or later.
*

If you are using myLot and you notice that the earnings have not updated, please be patient as we assure you they will be updated or myLot will send out an alert to update the community to the issue at hand.
*

It is not necessary to post a discussion about your earnings not updating. If your earnings are not up to date, then nobody's earnings are up to date.
*

If you think there is a real issue concerning your earnings that we have not noticed or it pertains only to you, please contact myLot if your earnings have not updated within a 48 hour period.


Why do my earnings fluctuate?

*

From time to time it is necessary for myLot to recalculate earnings for the month to curb users trying to game the system. Our proprietary earnings algorithm periodically recalculates all estimated daily earnings for the previous month to take into account posts that have been deleted in the abuse and moderation processes.
*

During the recalculation of earnings some users with lower-quality contributions will see a decrease. Any money deducted from users due to our abuse and moderation processes is then reallocated to myLot users based on certain qualitative factors. Due to this, earnings will fluctuate.
*

myLot members who have a decrease in earnings have had one or more posts deleted throughout the month. The main reason for this could be that you started a discussion that violated our guidelines or terms, that you responded to, or commented on, a discussion that violated our guidelines or terms, or that a comment you made on a blog article or news story violated our guidelines or terms.
*

Please become familiar with our myLot Guidelines and Terms of Use to avoid the possibility of having your posts deleted in the abuse and moderation processes.
*

myLot does not reward low-quality contributions, or even worse, attempts to game the earnings algorithm.
*

Remember, your earnings are all estimated until paid.



I made $10, why haven't I received a payment yet?

*

There may be a couple of reasons why you haven't received your payment:
*

First, you have to earn your minimum payout by the end of the month in order to receive your payment on the 15th of the following month.
*

For example: If you make $10 by October 31st, you will receive $10 on November 15th.
*

If you miss the end of the month cut off, you will receive your payment the following month.
*

Secondly, double check to make sure you selected $10 as your minimum payout. You may have selected a higher amount. If this is the case, you can contact myLot to see what your options are at that time.
*

Also make sure that all the information on the payment page is correct and accurate. If any information is incomplete or inaccurate, your payment will be withheld.
*

For example: Please do not give initials for your name, make sure you enter your correct city/country, and do not make up names for any of this information. (Name: E. Parker; City: I Don't Know, Country: Somewhere; will not be accepted)
*

If you have any questions, you can contact myLot Payments.



I am currently living in the United States but I'm not a legal resident, what country should I enter?

*

Please choose the country that you currently reside in. myLot will automatically assign the correct payment option to your account. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact myLot_Payments.
