Is keeping your money completely legal? Doubtful, but nobody in their right mind is going to spend hundreds of dollars trying to recoup 99 dollars or less.

A few sponsors were nice enough to send the balance, give the required "I'm sorry our sites didn't work for your traffic" speech, and close the account, but this is definitely not the norm.

What is absolutely fucking frustrating is when you do ok.. say 1:600 ish with a sponsor, end up 1 sale short of the minimum.. then go 0:10,0000 w/ 89.00 in the account
