At Book Bounty, we know how exciting it is to rack up points and launch bounties fast—and we love that kind of energy! But just like any great adventure, there’s strategy involved. That’s why we’ve introduced a few smart limits and tools to help prevent unnecessary suspensions, keep things fair, and fun for everyone in the community.
🚦 Why Protections Exist (and Why They're a Good Thing)
The number of bounties you can select isn't set in stone—it can change! Here's why:
1. To Protect Your Reviewer Account:
Reviewing too many books too quickly can trigger red flags in review systems. This could lead to your reviews being flagged as spammy or insincere. Worst case? You might lose the ability to leave reviews—or even face account suspension. 😬
We know you're eager to move fast, but in this case, slow and steady truly wins the race. These protections help keep your reviewer privileges safe and your momentum strong over time.
Pro Tip:
If you’re planning a book launch, consider stocking up on Bounty Points over time. That way, you can launch a large number of bounties during those crucial first 30 days—or sync them with your Amazon Free Promo Days to maximize visibility and reviews!
2. To Keep Things Fair for Everyone:
When lots of members are searching for bounties, we want to ensure everyone gets a fair shot. By setting limits, we make sure the library stays balanced and that no one grabs more than they can handle. This keeps the system flowing and fun for all! 📚🎯

📊 Meet the Bounty Progress Bar
To make things easier to track, we’ve introduced the Bounty Progress Bar—your personal dashboard for managing bounty activity.
When you're in your "My Bounties" area here’s what you’ll see:
Green: Bounties you’ve completed
Orange: Bounties currently in progress
Clear: How many more you can still pick
It’s a simple way to stay organized and in control while keeping your bounty journey running smoothly!
🔄 A Smarter Reset System
Say goodbye to the old fixed weekly reset! Now your bounty limit refreshes on a rolling 7-day cycle starting from the date you picked up your first bounty.
The Bounty Progress Bar will display how many days are left until your reset, giving you more flexibility to review at your own pace without worrying about a strict cutoff.
🧭 3 Selected Bounties at a Time
To help prevent delays and keep the review flow moving, members can now hold up to three active bounties at a time. As soon as you complete and submit one, you can pick up another—until your weekly cap is reached.
This reduces the chances of bounties being stockpiled, forgotten, or tossed back into the library, helping authors get timely feedback and keeping the community running like clockwork.
✅ Why This All Matters
These improvements:
Help protect your reviewer account
Keep the library fresh and balanced
Ensure fair access to bounties for everyone
Reduce delays and improve turnaround time for reviews
At the end of the day, our mission is simple: to build a thriving, supportive, and successful review ecosystem for authors and readers alike.
