I am writing to alert the community about a serious payment default by @Trino Partners.
We started working together under a hybrid deal in December 2024, and traffic was delivered as agreed until June 2025, when payments suddenly stopped. Over the following months, the unpaid balance grew to over €50,000.
What is most concerning is the explanation provided by their management (@mariia_trino, @ruslan_trino, and @daniil_trino). When we paused traffic due to non-payment, they explicitly stated that they are “prioritizing active partners” in order to “keep the system running.”
In practice, this means that unpaid affiliate commissions are being used as liquidity to support ongoing operations and payments to other partners.
Even more troubling, they attempted to condition the settlement of our outstanding balance on us resuming traffic delivery, effectively using already earned commissions as leverage to push for new performance. This amounts, in our experience, to unfair and coercive business practices and an unethical way to boost cash flow at the expense of affiliates.
From an affiliate perspective, this creates a very dangerous dynamic: if you stop sending traffic because you are not being paid, your balance remains frozen. If you continue sending traffic, you risk increasing your exposure even further.
We initially tried to resolve this matter privately and discreetly, giving the program ample time and several opportunities to settle the debt. Unfortunately, they have failed to meet every agreed deadline and have now ceased communication entirely.
Given the size of the unpaid balance and the way this situation has been handled, I believe it is important that other affiliates are aware of the potential risks when working with this program.
Supporting documentation, including dashboard statistics, payment history, and communication logs, is available to forum moderators upon request. Affiliates should proceed with extreme caution when dealing with Trino Partners.
