Yes, i know it. Probably they stopped to pay the 1$ per active referral for at least 2 reasons:
1st, they have enough member now, so they have no more interest to reward anyone to referr people. Is our interest refer people because we will earn 50% of referred people earnings in their first 6 months in ciao.
2nd, there were lot of scammers that made multiple accounts, just to create news "referrals", with 1 review only, the minimal requirements to get the $1 reward. So now scammers have no more reasons to create fake accounts.
Obviously i was much more happy when they were paying for referrals, but i can understand why they stopped.

nahhhh, they will not stop paying for rating. If you do a search, you will see ciao is on the market since 4 or 5 years ago. the ciao.com is a newly site, but ciao.co.uk, ciao.it, ciao.de, ciao.fr and so on are on the market since long time ago.
And all of them pay only for ratings.
So i guess ciao.com will continue paying for rating too.
I said several months ago, when they reduced the $1 per review to $0.25 per review, in a discussion nobody gone to read (:P) that probably ciao.com would align their policy to the other ciao sites in the world.
Now it's happened. So this should be the definitive asset of the site ;)

Well in this present economy paying one dollar for each referral you bring is practically not possible. Like you and me they have lakhs of members who try to bring referrals. They said, they are not paying one dollar for referring instead they paying a certain percentage from their ratings, earnings basically which is also a good idea. Atleast you are getting something right. They are cutting costs i believe.
