avalon-life-logoAvalon Life claim to be incorporated in Costa Rica as “Avalon Life AG”.

tom-koller-ceo-avalon-lifeThe company is headed up by Tom Koller (right), who serves as CEO and CTO.

On his LinkedIn profile Koller lists his location as the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland, which is likely where Avalon Life is actually being operated from.

On a blog pitching “VIP Coaching”, Koller reveals he was formerly an affiliate with Monavie (circa 2011). Koller’s Twitter profile also ties him as an affiliate to FGXpress (2015).

Read on for a full review of the Avalon Life MLM business opportunity.

The Avalon Life Product Line

Avalon Life has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market Avalon Life affiliate membership itself.

The Avalon Life Compensation Plan

The Avalon Life compensation plan primarily pays affiliates to recruit new affiliates.

ROIs are offered on mining package investment and AVLX coins issued when Avalon Life affiliate fees are paid.

Recruitment Commissions

Avalon Life affiliates are paid 50 EUR per affiliate recruited.

If an affiliate recruits ten or more affiliates in a single month, their recruitment commission is doubled for that month.

Residual Recruitment Commissions (unilevel)

The first residual recruitment commission in Avalon Life is paid out via a unilevel compensation structure.

A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly below them (level 1):

If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

Commissions are paid out monthly via revenue raised from affiliate fees paid by recruited affiliates:

  • level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 2 EUR per affiliate recruited
  • level 2 – 4 EUR per affiliate recruited
  • level 3 – 6 EUR per affiliate recruited
  • levels 4 and 5 – 8 EUR per affiliate recruited
  • level 6 – 12 EUR per affiliate recruited

Note that the above commissions are paid out 12 months for every affiliate recruited.

After 12 months if a recruited affiliate does not pay their 960 EUR affiliate fee, commissions on that particular unilevel position cease.

Residual Recruitment Commissions (matrix)

The second residual recruitment commission in Avalon Life is paid out via a 3×8 matrix.

A 3×8 matrix places an affiliate at the top of the matrix, with three positions directly under them:

These initial three positions form the first level of the matrix, with the second level generated by splitting each of the three first level positions into another three positions each.

In this manner subsequent levels of the matrix are generated as needed, with each level housing three times the positions of the previous level.

Positions in the matrix are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of Avalon Life affiliates, with commissions paid as a percentage of affiliate membership fees:

  • level 1 (3 positions) – 2 EUR per affiliate recruited
  • level 2 (9 positions) – 2.77 EUR per affiliate recruited
  • level 3 (27 positions) – 2.81 EUR per affiliate recruited
  • level 4 (81 positions) – 3.19 EUR per affiliate recruited
  • level 5 (243 positions) – 3.20 EUR per affiliate recruited
  • level 6 (729 positions) – 4 EUR per affiliate recruited
  • level 7 (2187 positions) – 8 EUR per affiliate recruited
  • level 8 (6561 positions) – 14 EUR per affiliate recruited

Note that the above commissions are paid out 12 months for every affiliate recruited.

After 12 months if a recruited affiliate does not pay their 960 EUR affiliate fee, commissions on that particular matrix position cease.

Mining ROIs

Avalon Life are officially coy about their mining package prices. Affiliates marketing Avalon Life however have quoted 2100 EUR, 2700 EUR and $2620 USD as the cost of the packages.

The idea is that Avalon Life invest in mining packages on the promise of a ROI paid out over a set period of time.

The length of an Avalon Life mining contract is not disclosed.

Referral commissions are available on Avalon Life mining contracts, paid out at what appears to be a few hundred EUR per contract invested in (no specifics available).

AVLX Coin ROIs

Everytime an Avalon Life affiliate pays 960 EUR in fees, the company gives them 1000 AVLX coins.

AVLX coins are supposed to be a cryptocurrency, the value of which has yet to be determined.

Each year Avalon Life award affiliates a 50% bonus of coins previously awarded, for a five consecutive years in total.

Joining Avalon Life

Affiliate membership with Avalon Life is 960 EUR a year.

Mining package investment will add a few thousand EUR to the cost of Avalon Life affiliate membership.

Conclusion

Avalon Life appears to be set up like your typical MLM cryptocurrency opportunity.

Affiliates will invest large sums of money and in exchange receive a relatively worthless cryptocurrency coin, no doubt touted to be bigger and better than bitcoin.

There’s little to no information available on Avalon Life’s AVLX coin at the moment. Expect it to be either an internal points cryptocurrency that’s worthless outside of Avalon Life, or a publicly traded coin that crashes on release (no demand for the coin outside of Avalon Life).

The rest of Avalon Life’s compensation plan is recruitment-based, making Avalon Life a pyramid scheme.

Affiliate fees are literally recycled to pay off top investors, with larger sums paid per affiliate recruited in both the unilevel and matrix teams.

This favors early adopters, Tom Koller and friends likely having created a bunch of preloaded positions at the top of the company-wide unilevel and matrix.

This ensures Avalon Life corporate receive the lion’s share of affiliate fee funds paid in, with everyone who doesn’t recruit enough people to cover their 960 EUR losing out.

As to the mining packages, they could be legitimate but given everything else about Avalon Life seemingly isn’t, I’m not willing to give the company the benefit of the doubt.

There’s a strong probability that invested affiliate funds will be used to pay out mining package ROIs, making Avalon Life a Ponzi scheme.

That said I haven’t seen any crazy ROI promises so perhaps affiliates will actually be paid mining profits. If that indeed is the case, don’t expect to recover your 2100 to 2700 EUR investment any time soon.

How transparent Avalon Life are with regard to their mining packages remains to be seen.

Of note is the math behind the Avalon Life compensation plan doesn’t add up. The full 960 EUR affiliate fee is split between the unilevel and matrix commissions for 12 months, with the direct recruitment commissions paid out on top of this.

I did see one Avalon Life presentation that claimed leased out mining contracts to third-parties would cover recruitment commissions, however this is far from a stable source of income.

I predict Avalon Life are going to pay the recruitment fees out of affiliate fees, throwing the scheme into deficit from day 1.

Outside revenue is hoped but not guaranteed, with a large-enough deficit triggering a collapse towards the end of the first twelve months after Avalon Life launches.

The incorporation of Avalon Life in Costa Rica is another red-flag, with there being absolutely no reason for someone in Switzerland to be running an MLM company incorporated half-way across the world.

This is likely done in the event of a collapse, which maximizes Tom Koller’s chances of making off with invested funds.
