Adult Empire Cash review: rates, rebills and payouts

Adult Empire Cash commission rates

Adult Empire Cash pays up to 35% on video on demand, up to 30% on sex toys and up to 25% on DVDs and Blu-rays sold through Adultempire.com, Gamelink.com and TLAGay.com. The stores carry more than 130,000 streaming movies, over 100,000 discs and over 4,500 toys, across straight, gay and trans titles.

The retail figures are ceilings. Your account manager sets your starting percentages after reviewing your sites, and the program says it raises partners who perform. No volume target for reaching the top rate is published.

Paysites include Elegant Angel, Adult Empire Unlimited and My Pervy Family. The rebill share depends on how many rebills you generate in a month:

• 1 to 99: 20%
• 100 to 999: 30%
• 1,000 to 2,499: 40%
• 2,500 and up: 50%

The $50 cap on a first join only bites on payments above $100, which in practice means long plans. Moving from the 20% tier to 30% takes a hundred rebills in the same month.

Getting paid: ACH in the US, PayPal or check elsewhere

The Adult Empire Cash minimum payout is $50, and you can set a higher one in the console. Payments are processed on the first business day of the month and go out 7 to 10 business days later, almost always by the 15th.

US affiliates can take ACH direct deposit. Everyone else chooses between PayPal and a paper check in dollars, so an affiliate in India, Brazil or the UK gets paid one of those two ways. There is no Paxum, international wire or crypto option, and no payout fees are listed.

Deep linking with an eight-digit partner ID

Each account gets a Link Group Code, an eight-digit partner ID that you append to any page on the network: ?partner_id=12345678. If the URL already has a question mark, add the code with an ampersand, or the click will not track. That lets a scene review point at the exact movie, and a toy roundup at the exact product page.

One account covers all your sites, and the program can issue several codes to split their stats. The dashboard shows visits, orders, paysite joins and conversion rate, and each month's transactions download as a list. Banners and other tools are not self-serve: you request access from your account manager.

Adultempire.com applies the age verification law of the place each visitor connects from. Traffic from a US state or a country with such a law goes through an age check before it reaches the catalog.

Is Adult Empire Cash legit?

Yes. Adult Empire Cash belongs to Storhaus, LLC, is run from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and the adultempirecash.com domain has been registered since 2004. The payout calendar is public down to the business day, and the same console pays the studios that sell their movies on Adult Empire.

Most "Adult Empire review" results on Trustpilot, Reddit or ScamAdviser are about the store: shipping, DVD prices, the Unlimited plan. They say nothing about affiliate payouts. Affiliate reviews that rank for the program are dated. Some still list wire transfers or seven sites, and one quotes a 30% content share. Today the methods are ACH, PayPal and check, and the paysite list runs past thirty.

How to apply to Adult Empire Cash

There is no instant signup. The questionnaire asks for your name, email, phone, company and headcount, then up to three sites with their monthly traffic in bands from 1 to 5k up to more than one million visitors. A representative replies and opens the account. A new site with no measurable traffic has little to show here.

The program does not advertise a webmaster referral plan.

Selling your own videos through the Content Partner Program

If you own your scenes, Adult Empire can sell them for you. Content partners earn 25% of each VOD sale, whether download, streaming rental or pay-per-minute, plus a 25% viewshare based on time watched on the unlimited streaming plan. Rights stay non-exclusive.

Files go up by FTP, Dropbox, Google Drive or SaviTransfer, or arrive on a hard drive by mail. HD or 4K MP4 is preferred, SD down to 360p is accepted, small watermarks are fine, and VR must be 3D, 180 side by side or 360 top-bottom. Payouts follow the affiliate minimum and calendar. US individuals, sole proprietors and partnership LLCs receive a 1099-MISC for any year above $600.

Established sites can also ask for a white label store, built case by case in under ten days with no fee, or hand over a whole paysite, billing and support included.
