ROIads – Misleading “Managed Campaigns”, Zero Conversions, and No Accountability After $350 Spent
🔍 My Full Experience (Facts Only)
I decided to work with ROIads after being promised managed campaigns and personal optimisation by their team — specifically by Daniil (Head of Accounts at the time).
He personally confirmed in writing that my campaigns would be fully managed and optimised, with premium service even on the $250 starting budget.
Here’s exactly what happened step-by-step:
🧾 Step 1 – Initial Deposit ($250)
I deposited $250 to start with “managed campaigns” for a GGBet gambling offer (Chile & Philippines).
I was promised proactive optimisation, segmentation by OS/browser/device, and direct account management.
In reality, the campaigns were launched on Friday evening, left unattended over the weekend, and burned the budget with 0 conversions.
No segmentation or optimisation was ever applied — no source control, no creative testing, nothing.
When I complained, I was told “we need to gather data” and that it was normal to lose money at first because they “don’t manage campaigns during weekends”.
This information was never mentioned before the deposit.
⚙️ Step 2 – False “Premium Management” Promise
After I raised the issue, I was contacted by Mary Allen, who apologised and admitted the first campaign was not handled properly.
She promised to personally take over my account as “Head of Accounts” and run a new managed campaign with daily supervision and reports.
I accepted this and topped up another $100 (a smaller custom top-up that she enabled manually).
Immediately after the top-up, my account got deactivated with the message “due to false information provided.”
Only after I sent screenshots as proof did she reactivate it, calling it a “system error”.
🎯 Step 3 – The “Second Chance” Campaign
Mary launched new campaigns:
First again for GGBet (Chile) on Push traffic
Later for PIN-UP (Chile) after the first one failed.
Despite all her promised management, optimisations, bid changes, whitelist adjustments and daily updates, the results were identical:
0 conversions
Almost no valuable traffic data
Money spent on random “whitelists” that didn’t deliver anything
Even she admitted that she “does not know why the performance is so poor”, while claiming that “Chile is one of their top GEOs.”
💸 Step 4 – $350 Spent, 0 Results, No Test Balance
After two managed launches, three “strategies”, and continuous “optimisation”, the total spend reached $350 with zero conversions.
When I asked for:
either a partial refund, or
at least a test balance from ROIads to verify that their traffic can actually convert,
I received the following response:
“Unfortunately, we do not provide advertisers with test budgets. This is the policy of our platform and I cannot go against the company’s policy.”
So even though they admit their traffic did not perform, they take no accountability and expect the advertiser to keep funding endless “tests”.
⚠️ What This Means for Advertisers
“Managed campaigns” is a misleading promise.
In practice, it means they launch your campaign and leave it running.
No proactive optimisation, no segmentation, no professional oversight.
Traffic quality is poor.
After $350 in two GEOs (Chile + Philippines) across two different gambling offers (GGBet & PIN-UP), the result was 0 conversions.
The so-called “premium sources” produced no measurable results.
No accountability or compensation.
When campaigns fail completely, they fall back on “policy” excuses.
Even after multiple proven management failures, they refuse refunds or test credits.
Communication looks good — but results are zero.
They will be polite, apologetic, and responsive — but that does not change the outcome: no ROI.
📉 Final Verdict
After working with many affiliate and traffic platforms, this was by far one of the most disappointing experiences.
ROIads looks professional on the surface, but behind the nice communication, there is no real performance, no transparency, and no willingness to stand behind their product.
If you value your budget and time — look elsewhere.
ROIads’ “managed campaigns” promise is simply not worth the risk.
Total spent: $350
Total conversions: 0
Refund/test credit: 0
Transparency & accountability: 0/10
Would I recommend: ❌ Absolutely not.
