Worked with Playwire to onboard for…

Worked with Playwire to onboard for over three weeks. We were going back and forth of legal changes in the user agreement and everything seemed fine though the delays with legal were lengthy. They had promised to give me 100% revenue for the 1st month and when the last contract did not include that, I asked to have it put back in. They then said they did not think we were a good fit and stopped communicated. Completely unprofessional. If you deal with Jared, beware that he will just eventually be unprofessional and stop communicating.

They promise a lot but didn't get close to matching my previous ad providers CPM's.
They also offered a guarantee to match the previous average RPM/RPS - when they failed to get anywhere near that performance, they only paid out the top up amount for one month.
The only reason why I continued to test with them was the fact that they reassured me they would top up the RPS to my previous ad provider. They reneged on this and so in my view, not only are they not very good at ad monetisation, they are also not a trust worthy company to work with.
Lastly, some people may say this could be seasonality, I switched in the run up to the 4th quarter so if anything, seasonality will have improved their figures.
Testing them cost me about 50% of my revenue over two months - don't bother wasting your time with Playwire.

We have been working with PlayWire for…

We have been working with PlayWire for more than 2 years and we always had a great experience with their representative and customer support.

Even being a small size publisher we always had quick response to any of our concerns and questions.

One of the best network, especially if working in the gaming sector.

In no case

This company has a step-by-step connection of the site to the system. It took a MONTH to connect my site. And when we agreed on everything and approved it, we reached the last stage (placing the advertising code and tests), and at that time I simply received a refusal. OMG.
I have never seen a worse advertising network than this one.

Playwire are quite possibly the worst ad company online. From getting your site banned from Google due to their own ad units overlapping based on their automatic layout to HORRENDOUS revenue stats you need to avoid this company as if it were the Corona Virus. If you move your website to Playwire expect the revenue to drop 10 fold from what you would get from Adsense and expect to not be able to afford to pay your hosting bills. I can't stress enough how bad and immoral they are.
