🚨 Review Like a Pro & Keep Amazon Happy! 🚨

At Book Bounty, we do everything we can to protect you and keep things Amazon-compliant, but we can only do so much—you’ve gotta play it smart too! Your reviewing privileges are in your hands, and trust us, you don’t want Amazon hitting you with the ban hammer! 😱

Note to remember: If you're switching from a platform that is like Book Bounty or you're using more than one platform that is like Book Bounty. Book Bounty does not know what books or publishers you've reviewed in the past. We can only protect review swapping in our own system. It's best to choose one platform and stick with it. This doesn't mean you can't ever change, just know that the longer you stay with one platform, the better the review swapping protection will be.

The Golden Rule: Don’t Go Overboard!

We get it—everyone wants Bounty Points, and want them NOW. But slamming out too many free PDF download reviews too fast is a big no-no. Amazon tracks patterns, and if they see a flood of unverified reviews from you, they might think something shady is going on. And guess what? They don’t ask questions—they just take away your ability to review. 😬

Why Does Amazon Care?

Amazon is all about making that $$$, and they don’t make a dime from Free Downloads. If you ONLY review free books, they notice—and not in a good way, they think that you are trying to game the system. They love Verified Purchases because they can track every step of the process. Even Kindle Unlimited (while usually unverified) still counts because it's part of a paid subscription.

How to Stay Safe & Keep Reviewing Like a Boss:

Limit Free Download Reviews – Stick to one, maybe two per week, unless you have a solid mix of paid reviews (Verified Purchases & Kindle Unlimited) to balance them out.

Act like a real consumer. Buy and review other products—not just books!


Keep it natural. If your account ONLY reviews free books, that’s a red flag.


Don’t rush. Space out your reviews so it's natrual. Amazon has been watching consumers for a long time and has a good idea of how long it takes to read a book before a review happens. So, wait 24 - 48 hours before reviewing an ebook and make sure you're going through the pages and spending enough time on each page.


Look like a real shopper. Buy other products than just books on Amazon now and then and review them.

Amazon is like a big brother that never sleeps—so be smart, keep your reviewing legit, and enjoy racking up those sweet, sweet Bounty Points! 🚀📚
