The guys from Voxant are deceiving their users.
They say in their own website that: You’ll receive your check within 30 days following the last day of the month in which it was earned.
However, the answer that some publishers have being getting from them is that they process the checks 30 days following the month in whici it was earned.
You then have to wait 30 days more in order to get the payment !!!!.

When did you hit the $150 mark? When you reach $50 in revenue in a given month, you will be paid by the end of the following month ??? for example, if you reach $50 in September, you will be paid at the end of October.

Feel free to contact our customer service desk if you have specific questions and we can try to sort it out for you.

I have been using the newsroom for two months now and I am owed over $150. If they don’t pay by next month they come off my site.

Thanks for that response, Tim.

There are a few reasons why your numbers might not match our numbers:

1. The content you embedded did not fully load ??? this happens most often when someone surfs off a page in less than 10 seconds or when you have more than 3 of our players on a single page.
2. For video, sometimes people think we pay on render ??? we actually pay on impression or ???play.??� Generally, video is played about 10-20% of the time.
3. Due to a problem with our ad serving company, the ad did not appear ??? even though the content did ??? this partial render does not count as an impression

I’d be happy to discuss any of these things in more detail!

I’m sorry to hear of your problems, I think you do have to keep in mind your account is only credited for a full view of the video, or at least the advert in the video as I understand it. This means that unless you can prove the video was watched to the required point it will be difficult to argue with their stats, the news room is not alone adsense are notorious for not counting clicks to the point that you have to question the motives, I’m not suggesting that The Newsroom guys & gals for one moment are deliberately not counting but I hope they don’t make the same mistakes as Google and are open and honest in their recording in a perfect world the stats would be collected independently but perhaps the newsroom might offer detailed stats to users indicating a the time needed for a click and how long each visitor was on the ad.
