Book Bounty December 2025 Update

Book Bounty sent the email update (attached) and

published it yesterday. Unfortunately, the message was overly promotional, so I had to delete the post. The main topics described by the Book Bounty team were:

The December 2025 Book Bounty update focuses on staying aligned with Amazon’s evolving review enforcement and on adding a couple of convenience features.

Key updates

Amazon is removing both fake and real reviews more aggressively because bots can misclassify them. Book Bounty paused some planned releases to adjust.
A new review analysis system is being introduced to flag reviews that look generic or “AI-style,” or that resemble your past wording too closely. The goal is to reduce review removals while preserving each reviewer’s voice.
Best-practice reminders for reviewers: read at a normal pace, write authentic personal feedback, avoid copy-paste into Amazon (write on Amazon first), vary phrasing across reviews, and keep your Amazon account looking “real” via regular purchasing activity.

New features shipped

Title Search: You can now search bounties by book title.
Extra reporting: your bounty history view now includes a list of the Amazon marketplaces where bounties were posted (shown when you click your book cover and scroll down).

What’s next

More “cleanup” and safety systems are coming soon to protect the platform’s authenticity, and then they plan to return focus to new features and experiences.
