Paused Campaign Still Charged for 5 Days – Feels Like a Scam
I paused my campaign on RollerAds 5 days ago, yet my balance kept decreasing until it reached -18 USD. When I contacted support, they explained it as “overflow” or “late clicks” due to wide targeting. Honestly, this makes no sense — once a campaign is paused, there should be no more spending at all. I can understand if there are some delayed clicks, but how is it possible for “late clicks” to continue for 5 full days? This feels unfair and misleading, and it honestly comes across as scammy behavior. Other ad networks stop charging immediately after a campaign is paused, so I don’t see why RollerAds should be different. Advertisers deserve full control over their budgets. Pausing should mean an immediate stop, not continued deductions. Unless RollerAds improves their system and respects advertiser settings, it leaves the impression that they are acting more like scammers than a trustworthy ad network.

Hi Paten, Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We always aim for transparency and want to clarify the situation. Our technical team has completed a thorough investigation. Here is the clear timeline we confirmed: You paused the campaign on October 2. We received your support request on October 3. This means that from the moment the campaign was stopped until you contacted us, only one day had passed. To explain the charges, it's important to understand how the system functions: when you pause a CPC campaign, we immediately stop sending new ads. However, users can still click on ads that were delivered before you hit pause. These are "late clicks," and they are charged on a CPC basis as they represent valid traffic. In your case, the campaign's very broad targeting generated a high volume of initial traffic, which led to a corresponding number of late clicks being processed after the pause. We provided our detailed resolution on October 6, which was within our standard investigation timeframe. A detailed explanation of the situation has already been sent to your email. We are ready to answer any additional questions you may have through our official support channel. Thank you!
