I have personally asked many mylot users about this and each of them had a different opinion.
I think that if mylot decreases the minimum balance required for payout then many new mylot users might not contribute as much as they were otherwise going to do in order to reach $10.
But thats just me. What do you think? Share your thoughts.

I agree. Even though right now my minimum payout is $25.00, that's because I reached $10.00 at about the same time I got my income check. I figured $10.00 wasn't going to make a difference now. So if I change it to $25, it might come at a time where I can use it, plus it's more. But I think that if you want, you should have the option of $5.00.

When I join a site I accept the TOS. Like it or not. This site has these rules and we should be SO glad it always pays when we reach payout. We donĀ“t even consider that it could turn into a scam. I love mylot as it is!!!
Happy posting

I think mylot knows what it is doing and has been doing so for several years now. It never ceases to amaze me how new comers to this site try to improve it. I must admit that I too was guilty of doing this. Just relax and enjoy, all is well and you will get paid when you reach $10.00 in a pay period just like the rest of us. Enjoy and welcome

Friend,I agree with this.I think it will be helpful for those people who are not able to be regular here.They are trying to reach the minimum payout as fast as possible even though the time not permitting them to be active here.So in my opinion its good.
Very good discussion Friend.

I also agree that mylot should lower the minimum payout to $5 because $10 takes longer to reached. Everybody that is not that active here and not a native English speaker also benefited from it. In my experienced it took me months to reached my first payout here. I worked hard to be able to do reach it. I hope they would consider your suggestion.

That would be better if it will be approved. I'm in favor of it, for sure I will reach the payout every month. And more people will be added to myLot community for sure. And it will help to get referrals less harder. I hope that opinion of yours will be approved by myLot bosses. Lol! Happy myLotting!

I would love it if they changed the minimum payment to only five dollars because thats how much I usally make per month anyway. So Ill be getting paid every month which would be awesome. Its hard to make ten dollars a month at least for me it is which is why it would be great if they lowerd it to five dollars a month.

I dont agree with it completely, ofcourse it would be great for members here but it will have negative effects on mylot. Obviously, people will become less active just after reaching $5 as mostly people want just reach minimum payout so its not good. Mylot is the best and it dont need any changes!

Hi. I agree with you. I was reading some of the other comments for this discussion and one suggestion was to maybe give the option of $5 after you have cashed out for the first time. I think this is a good option too.
Personally I love myLot the way it is. I enjoy and have fun here on myLot and if the payout was lower the contributions of new myLot users might not be as good. Just like you said. We're not here for the money right?! :)
Happy myLotting!!!

Hmmm, I think the minimum payout could have decrease to $5 for those new Mylotters. Maybe Mylot will have the very first payout at $5, only for the first time. then the subsequent payout would back to minimum $10.

vingyan06,
Or maybe it could be the other way round: $10 for the initial payout, then $5 thereafter - the lower payout could be a reward for committing to a higher initial payout.

I agree that the minimum should be $5. I have not received a payout yet because I am new. It makes me wonder how long it will take me to reach $10.

I like it at $ 10. People will contribute as much because $ 5 is easy to achieve every month. plus if their payment gateway charges them for receiving money, they will need to earn more than $ 5 every month. People don't stop contributing after they receive payments, because if they stop they will receive less and they may need the money anyway. so smaller payment won't change contribution much.

Hi,
Whether I agree with a revised minimum payout of $5 or not, myLot's gonna do what it will do. However, I personally don't have a problem with $5 or $10 as the money's not really my focus.

It doesn't sound like a bad idea but I think it's better off staying as $10.00 really because sometimes sites shut down and are unable to pay it's users because they can't keep up with all the payouts. So I rather just keep the way it is.. better to be safe then sorry you know what I mean. Plusi t's not that hard to get $10 just takes time and some effort . =]

I agree with you, because i have not been reach 10$ pay out ever,I am not on my second month here in mylot, and for now i reach only 5.12$, because i don't have a referral, i just rely on my 5 discussion and answering mylotters discussion, and waiting for them to both me as his/ her best response, for now i got only 10 best response, cause if i wait for 10$ it make it for me so long.

work a little bit harder and I am sure you will reach payout soon. I too don't have any active referrals but I do try to make good discussions and respond to quality topics. Perhaps this way you can reach payout faster. And like others said $5 is nothing. $10 is good for now as long as they are paying. right?
