CrakRevenue review: how the adult CPA network pays you

How CrakRevenue works

CrakRevenue sits between adult advertisers and affiliates: you pick an offer or a Smartlink, send traffic through your tracking link and earn a fixed amount per sign-up or sale, or a share of what the customer spends. Each offer sets its own model. Some pay per lead, single or double opt-in, others per sale, and many let you choose revenue share for recurring income from subscribers who keep paying.

The Smartlink is the hands-off option. It routes each visitor to the offer the algorithm expects to convert best, based on country, device, language and traffic type, and exists for cam and dating. Direct links suit a review site that writes about one brand. The account also includes banners, a live cam widget, pre-roll video ads, embedded games, and ads shown before or after a page.

Signing up takes a name, an email and a password, then an ID check through Jumio before you can enter payment details. The check usually clears within 30 minutes, and the person or company paid must match the verified ID. Business accounts need a company registration number.

What CrakRevenue offers pay

CrakRevenue lists more than 400 offers: over 350 in dating, over 90 in cam and over 15 in fansites, plus AI companions and adult games. Several brands are only available through the network, including Jerkmate, MyFreeCams, Ashley Madison, MYM and SextPanther.

These are public ceilings. Your own rate can change, and the terms forbid you from publishing it. SextPanther targets English-speaking tier-one countries, and the gaming offers advertise a 365-day cookie.

Getting paid by CrakRevenue

CrakRevenue pays from $100 by MassPay, Paxum or PayPal and from $500 by bitcoin or bank wire, always in US dollars. Each month has two pay periods, the 1st to the 15th and the 16th to month end. A balance below the threshold rolls over.

New accounts are on Net 30: money goes out 30 days after the period in which you crossed the threshold. Net 15 and Net 7 are granted on request after at least a month of traffic, judged on clicks and conversions, how many leads turn into paying users, and your sources. Net 7 requires $500 whatever the method. For a period closing on May 15, payment leaves on May 22 under Net 7, May 31 under Net 15 and June 15 under Net 30. When a pay date falls on a weekend, CrakRevenue aims to pay the Friday before. The terms of service only mention the 30-day schedule, while the help center describes all three.

PayPal is only available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, the UK and the US. Affiliates in India or Brazil use MassPay or Paxum at the same $100 threshold. MassPay charges $1 per payment and lets you withdraw to a local bank account in a choice of currencies where available. CrakRevenue does not publish the other fees. It explains the higher wire and bitcoin threshold by their transfer costs. Payments to accounts linked to Payoneer are sent back, and billing changes made less than five business days before a period ends push the payment back by one period.

Arrival times differ by method: MassPay is instant, bitcoin and PayPal usually land the same day, Paxum within two business days and wire within one to ten. Each method also blocks some countries, from over twenty sanctioned ones for MassPay and bitcoin to five for wire.

Is CrakRevenue legit?

Yes, CrakRevenue is an established network: founded in 2010 and run by Sellitize LTD, it claims more than 35,000 affiliates and over 200 staff, and holds 4.2 out of 5 from 541 Trustpilot reviews. Live chat runs 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on weekends.

Most complaints describe accounts frozen for fraud shortly before a payout. On Partnerkin, an affiliate running adult dating banner traffic wrote in October 2024 that the account was banned two days before the first payment, with about $2,000 pending and no evidence given. Two reviews from 2022 tell a similar story, one from an affiliate who had disclosed the traffic source in advance.

The terms explain the mechanism. On suspicion alone, the account is deactivated without notice and payouts go into pending status. You then have seven days to prove you did not commit fraud, or CrakRevenue can close the account and cancel the payment. Keep invoices for any traffic you buy and a record of your sources, so you can answer within that window. Leads from the wrong country or device are not paid, and chargebacks come out of your balance.

CrakRevenue account rules that cost money

CrakRevenue can close an account that stays inactive for more than twelve consecutive months, and any balance is forfeited. If you close your own account with $20 or less in it, that money is gone too.

The referral program pays 5% of each referred affiliate’s earnings, and CrakRevenue says it has paid over $500,000 this way. The marketing calls it lifetime income, but the terms cancel it if you go 90 days without logging in or sending a click or lead.

Bidding on CrakRevenue brand keywords and registering lookalike domains are both banned. Running sub-affiliates requires a signed written agreement.
