Maxima had financial problems last year. They weren’t able to pay their affiliates for several months, due to a big winner (according to them). They decided to pay the players first, and then the affiliates, if there was any money left.
Eventually did pay me what they owed, but by that time I had stopped promoting them. After I dropped them, I made nothing at all — so, either (1) they have terrible retention, or (2) the players were removed from my account after I stopped promoting them.
