Default Time to Collect LO Earnings!

Today is supposed to be the last full day for LuckyO, so this is just a reminder that it's also probably the last day to cash out. I'm going to wait until around 11 p.m. Pacific Time to collect my earnings...been getting sales everyday this week, and I'd hate to miss a last minute sale.

Kinda sad...this month my earnings at LO are 8% of my total revenue and my daily average earnings are double my previous BME. LO's sales have actually been so good that they have made up the difference from a big loss I'm experiencing at SS. Too bad it wasn't always like this! LO might have made it.

I wonder when they are actually going to pay off. I requested my earning back when the closing announcement was made, still nothing

I cannot request my earnings via the site but seeing as they refused to delete my images and thus appeared to offer them for sale with no intention of paying I did request payment by email, no response of course so might as well ask again.

I've requested two payments of over $60.00 in the last month. First said "Payment before 30th May"; second "Payment before 30th June". Haven't had the first payent yet, but still 2 weeks+ to go.

Without knowing the financial situation at LO, I don't feel 100% certain that both payments will be made. But although the closure might have been handled a bit better (personal communication with all contributors, buyers etc), Bryan has always been very honorable in the past when it came to delivering on promises. I'm still very hopeful and still sad that LO is closing.

I asked for mine weeks back when I first found out. I doubted I'd get much in terms of sales between then and now and I haven't even been back to check, despite all the hopefuls expecting buyers to be splurging on any ol' pic to finish their credits. I also wasn't going to risk any internet problems, either logging on or website problems which will prevent me from asking for my earnings.

I got it within a few days via moneybookers.

I requested my payment already few weeks ago. I contacted support once and they confirmed they will pay on 3-May (yes they did respond my email!)

Default No payment yet for me...

I requested my payout, about $29.00, the last week of April.

I still have not received my payment yet and now that they are officially out of business, I really don't expect to ever see that money.

Oh well...at least it's not a big amount for me. Hopefully anyone with a larger payout does actually get paid.

Default payment

I request mine the day they closed. Still nothing yet. If everybody say that they can keep it, just imagine how much money they will make ! Unbelievable ! We worked hard and nobody should let go their due. They owe me 47,30 $. They said that I should be paid by Pay pal but nothing yet.

The notice on the payout page said we would be paid by June 30th. I don't know why there is such a long delay, but in the past they always paid out once a month (like SS) on or before the 10th instead of making on-demand payments. The reason for the delay could be simply due to June 30th being the end of their fiscal year and there are probably a lot of loose ends to tie up. Who knows.

I won't start worrying until after June 15th.

That message on luckyoliver.com is sad - it's still a shame they had to close. Ah well, such is business.
