I've been watching Propellers for a long time, for several years, and I've tried many times to work with them in different roles - both as an advertiser and as a publisher. Each time the result was disappointing. I tried it this way and that way - I tried a lot of different verticals - nothing converts. Checked their traffic antibot system - about 50% of bots and one-pixel iframes.
But the most important thing is not even that. Many have the same situation, but not many allow themselves to directly steal the advertiser's money.
At one point when I try to access my account I see a message that it has been banned and there will be no refund of the rest of my deposit. In my attempts to find out what exactly happened - no answers, as usual at Propeller. They have an allegedly secret secret service called "Policy" (with a gasp!). This service decides the fate of small and insignificant creatures - advertisers, who like ants crawl around in the Propeller's expanse. This polisy has the exclusive right to decide when and from whom - without any explanation - to block your account, write off your money from your account - whatever you want at the moment. Since Propeller always has your money first, it's easy for them to do. And I repeat - no explanation at all. It's like a secret, but in fact - why not take advantage of someone else's money for the extra time. When they resell traffic - their profit is more or less 10%, when they block your account with all the rest - 100%. In the law it's called "Fraud" - theft of another's money by abuse of trust - you do trust them when you put money on deposit, right? That's just it...
Obviously, the entire business propeller (that's right, with a small letter, because I do not respect them at all) works on a few anchor customers (like World of tanks) and a constant turnover of newcomers. Newcomers come in, and either they themselves are wasting money, or here is how they are banned by the policy. In what proportion it happens - I do not know, but the fact that the withholding of money from bans accounts a significant part of the income - no doubt.
Now they will write in a response to the post something, as they wrote on all similar posts before me, some kind of formal replies, such as "our polisy never make mistakes. Do not believe it. They just came up with a very nice unobtrusive way of weaning your money - by bots, bans accounts with withholding deposits. Do not believe them. There are plenty of new highly effective projects on the market (I myself work with more than 20) - without these polices. Work better with them - there you will get a normal partnership attitude - here you'll be a "cash cow" without the right to vote.

I work with this affiliate long enough, but worked in the team all the time. I used to work as an affiliate partner for quite a long time, but I constantly worked as a team. At the moment I fall out of the team and start to plum in a solo, without thinking too much I went to the same affiliate program, as I had no idea how to work with affiliate, I went to my manager) @trafua I will leave his link here, he explained me everything in detail like I was a fool ahahh. I had a chance to get some tips about new offers that have not come out yet. Nice KPIs (I mean from 200) are present, I also wanted to mention work with direct advertising, I think everybody understand how all affiliate programs work, so advertising was not very good in terms of filling their balance, met a situation when affiliate said that we will not pay you because we are not to blame, advertisement turned off and can not help, @trafua this guy constantly warned on these issues, when it is better to stop, what I like and what not. Then I encountered with some problems with payouts, as I went solo, and there is not much turnover, here is a cosmic help from the same @trafua. In online mode helped with payments and paid money you can say also in real mode, it really helps guys like me (with small turnover). In general, to sum up for all managers, I can not say, for his just vouch and ready to advise anyone. On payments I have never had any problems. And in the team did not have any problems. I have never had any problems with the payouts and the team they work with.
The only thing I would like to improve at the moment is problems with loading statistics for a long period. But they promise to fix it in a short time. All other things are cool!
