Hideout

Something's gone awry with the videos at the moment and presumably it's not just at my end?

The first ad plays fine but when it checks for them further into the video the ad sticks, but the video's continuing to play and we can hear the audio and see the stuck ad. Scrolling up and down gets the ad to play but then it doesn't credit, so have just submitted a support ticket.

Hope it's fixed soon because it's almost unusable for me at the moment.

Experienced the same and a pending update for Chrome was the issue so restarted the browser to finish the update, deleted cache and cookies and running fine now. Running Cozycrafts and getting a good amount of adds through. Significantly more compared to loot.tv where I almost never get much more than the daily reward.

Thanks - I checked, and found that my Chrome was awaiting the completion of an update, so hopefully now I will be earning a bit more from Hideout and Loot.  I have noticed, however, that today Loot's daily paments are down to 30 gems for three hours, from 50 gems for four hours.

Good to hear it's fixed for you, Pecunia, but unfortunately it hasn't solved the issue here. Deleted cookies and cleared the cache in Brave and Firefox, and although my Brave isn't up to date (because my version of Linux is now a bit too old) I checked for updates at Firefox and there aren't any. Maybe it'll be fixed when the next one comes through but hope Hideout might get it sorted first!

Molly - yes, it's a shame about the daily rewards at Loot. All the nonsense with changing to "gems" when what they need to do is to get more ads!

I am now only getting 15 gems. That's a massive reduction of 70% and they barely have any ads showing either. 



Conversion has also gone down a lot for Swagbucks. The rate to Freecash has remained unchanged so I think it is a change coming from Swagsucks and not loot.tv

Thankfully those daily rewards at Loot are cumulative, so it's 30 points in total. Shame it's no longer 50 though, and also a shame about the rate to Swagbucks, but I think $1.60 per 1000 points was possibly never intended and somehow double what it was supposed to be. Either that or it might have just been a promotional rate for a few months after Swagbucks added Lootably. 

Anyway, I guess we should return to Hideout in this thread, but there's one for Loot here.

Thankfully it's been fixed now.

No thanks to the person who replied to my support ticket, who was as useful as a chocolate fireguard, but good to see it's sorted!

Which provider are you using to cash out points? I use lootup.me as it is supposedly the same company. I usually wait until I have a 30% promotion from the daily loot chest. Points convert to USD and I'll get it into Paypal, (no Paypal fees and payout from 1 USD). Only bad Paypal exchange fees to deal with in the end.

To be fair that must be the best rate possible, but I redeem mine to Keep Rewarding because it's one of the best rates from a partner site and I like to support them and my upline. Am not really keen on Hideout avoiding paying partners as much by having LootUp, but it's certainly a nice rate.

Keep Rewarding pays 88.8 cents per thousand, and if you redeem for $2 or more you get a 15 cents bonus.

That's a good rate if it is in GBP. Lootup 1000 points = 1 USD so if I take into account Paypal exchange rates it is pretty much the same. However, the lootup daily chest often gives me bonus points, sometimes only 35, sometimes 100 and there are the 20 and 30% redemption bonus options so probably all in all a slightly better deal.

The rate at Keep Rewarding is in cents. Well, it converts as points and then costs more points if you want to redeem for payment in pounds instead of dollars.
