So this is gonna be a long story, TLDR summary at the end of this post…

Back in October 2014, Adamo had a promotion going on giving away uncapped 10 % bonuses on first deposits, so I wired €5000 to take full advantage of the bonus. This was way more than my usual test deposits for new traffic sources and in hindsight quite a big mistake on my end, but Adamo had a big brand presence at the time, sponsoring trade shows, being nominated for industry awards etc. which made them appear legit to me. Plus my account manager assured me that a refund would be no problem if I wasn’t satisfied with the traffic quality.

I ran a couple tests for around €500 with pretty bad results overall, so I decided to request a refund and focus on other traffic sources instead (around end of December 2014). That’s when an endless back and forth with my account manager, support etc began. There would be tons of excuses e.g. their accountant being sick, confusion about how to deduct the bonus from my refund, my AM trying to convince me to run more tests instead because “everybody else loves our traffic, I don’t know what’s wrong”, and most of the time just complete radio silence.

After a while rumours started going around the industry that Adamo was in a bad financial situation, owing money for sponsorships etc., so things started to look worse and worse. I also slacked off a bit because I’m just not the kind of person to blast someone with messages each day, make public allegations etc., so basically nothing ...
