ChillBanking has been online since 2015. Same author, same niche, same instinct: write the things adult affiliates actually want to read, and post the numbers when they’re real.
The site started as the PAWG blog — a one-person operation tracking earnings, network reviews, and what was working in adult CPA at the time. The banner has changed; the job hasn’t. These days it’s written for the people getting into adult affiliate marketing — and the ones already doing it — who need to know which networks are paying, which programs to skip, and what’s changed since last quarter. If you’re still deciding whether this is worth getting into, this is the place to start.
Who writes it
One operator. We’ve kept accounts at most of the major adult CPA networks since 2015 and have rotated traffic through them as offers changed. We’re not a press shop, we don’t take pay-for-coverage from networks, and we don’t run reviews of programs we haven’t actually used.
That’s a constraint, not a brag — it means we cover a smaller set of networks than a generalist site would, but every review on here is something we’ve put traffic through and reconciled against actual bank deposits. The methodology page spells out what that looks like in detail.
Who reads it
Two kinds of people. The ones just getting into adult affiliate marketing — figuring out which network to join first, how the payout models actually differ, and how not to get an account closed in week one. And the affiliates who’ve been at it a while and want the operator-level view of what’s changed: EPC drift, whether a network’s PPS rate is real or a marketing number, which payment processors will and won’t lose your money. Most of you found us through the forums (gfy, BHW, the smaller adult-marketer communities); some of you have been reading since 2015.
Wherever you’re starting from, the flagship CPA networks list is the entry point — it’s the map of who pays what in 2026 and which program a new affiliate should open first. From there, the comparisons and earnings reports go deeper.
How this site makes money (and why it keeps us honest)
Plainly: when you sign up to a network through one of the links here, we earn an ongoing referral on what you go on to make — a small slice of your earnings, paid by the network, that costs you nothing. That’s the whole business model. It only pays us if you actually start earning, which is exactly why there’s no reason for us to push you at a network that won’t pay you. We’d rather send you to the program that works and earn a little for years than collect a one-time bounty for steering you wrong.
So the reviews say which networks we’d put a new affiliate on today, and which we wouldn’t touch — and the incentive behind that advice points the same direction as yours. The methodology page covers how we decide, and the affiliate-link disclosure lives there too.
What we cover
- Network reviews. Tested networks, payout terms, what we run on each, what to watch for.
- Comparisons. Head-to-head between networks where we’ve run the same offer through both.
- Earnings reports. Monthly numbers from a single campaign or vertical, with the math behind them.
- Industry shifts. When a network changes its program, when a vertical heats up, when something we’ve been running stops paying.
What we don’t cover
We don’t review networks we haven’t run. We don’t write programs we got paid to write. We don’t republish PR. We’re not interested in the consumer-facing side of adult — there are plenty of sites for that, and this isn’t one of them.
If you’ve run these networks yourself and want to argue with something we’ve written, email us. If you’re a network and want to argue with how we covered you, same email — but be ready to show the data. We’ll update if we got it wrong.
