Book BountyReviews of book-bounty.com

Book Bounty has worked well for me. I write honest reviews, and I've received some good reviews. I write good books so I get good reviews. The only problem is that the reviews don't always show up, but that may be because people don't know how to post them. Generally, I would recommend Book Bounty.

I can't believe how many poor reviews there are for Book Bounty on Trustpilot. I have been with them for nearly six months now, and I've found everything they do to be above board, easy to understand, and helpful. When I've had a problem, Kevin, the owner, always gets back to me the same day, and always resolves it to my satisfaction. There are other good services out there that are nearly as good as Book Bounty - it's not a zero-sum game - and I belong to one of them. But Book Bounty doesn't offer rewards for honest reviews, and that may be why it shows up in a less flattering light than it should, here. It IS an excellent service.

Very hidden in their fine prints it tells you, you use it on your own risk. But in large letters they tell you, this service is in compliance with the Amazon review policy. Which it isn't because KDP treats this as a review exchange club, no matter how often the owner of BookBounty tells you the opposite. My book was blocked and since it was a book in a series and my main income is from self-publishing, this had a devastating effect on my career. I know many authors who got even blocked entirely, not only a book but their whole account. If you are publishing on KDP, I would not even think of using BookBounty. It is truly dangerous as KDP gets stricter and stricter about flagging review swaps. While I got my money back from BookBounty, it can never compensate me for the real harm done. I cannot use KDP anylonger for any of my cosy mystery series which is a major blow.

Book Bounty is the Best! And Kevin and the staff are always prompt to reply to our questions. We do get reviews. There are those creeps who give a 3 star to hard-working authors, altho most are 5 stars. Only problem is Amazon freaks who Delete our 5 stars from customers, and now will be Infiltrating Our Books with AI. And we Can't Opt out.

Scam, took money for months and showed that I was getting reviews but they didnt actually show up on Amazon. Huge scam and fraud. When I asked where my reviews are they blocked my email from contacting them. Took a long time to get 22 reviews and in reality on 2 showed up and I don't even think they're from Book Bounty. Dishonest company and a scam. Wish I never agreed to do business with them.

I’ve worked with Book Bounty and I can honestly say their customer service has been exceptional from start to finish. In a space where timing and clarity matter so much, they’ve consistently delivered both. Any time I’ve had a question, needed clarification, or requested adjustments, their team responded very quickly and professionally. There was never a long waiting period wondering if someone would get back to me. Their communication is clear, direct, and solution focused. That alone sets them apart from other similar sites I have worked with. What impressed me most was their commitment to resolution. It wasn’t just a quick reply. It was thoughtful follow through. If I needed something addressed, they handled it efficiently and made sure it was fully resolved. I never felt brushed off or left in limbo. Highly recommend.

WARNING: Amazon KDP Blocked My Book Due To This Service They claim to be "100% Amazon Compliant." Amazon disagrees. I used Book Bounty for 3 months. Yesterday, Amazon KDP permanently blocked my book for "Review Manipulation" specifically because of the activity from this site. The reality: Amazon's algorithm flags the Book Bounty "credit/point" system as "non-monetary compensation," which is a violation of KDP Terms. Book Bounty refunded my subscription immediately when challenged, but the damage to my account is done. If you value your KDP account, do not use this service. It is not safe.

Book Bounty promises a lot and under-delivers. Their website made false claims about the average time it takes for books to be picked up and reviewed. The person who runs the business, Kevin, has no accountability to his customers. He gives vague answers and keeps customers in limbo while he collects their money. Book Bounty lures people in with a compelling strategy: join as a reader, leave honest reviews on books to rack up points, and then when you publish your book you can use those points to put out "bounties" for readers to leave honest reviews for your book. That strategy sounds great in theory. However, you pay to be a reader, and then you pay more to have a publisher account where you request reviews. Then, your books can sit indefinitely without being read. So it's basically a gamble that strings you along month after month. I don't recommend this business for a multitude of reasons. In addition to their shady business practices and terrible customer service, it's clear that the people behind this business have integrity issues. They're operating in a gray area where they are sure to be shut down eventually. I'm posting this review so that customers won't lose their money paying for a service that might be shut down before they get any real value from it.
