If you think a sponsor is playing games it's best to drop them. Once they start it only gets worse. But not every refund or chargeback is the result of sponsor games. Often they are real. Set a maximum percentage you'll tolerate and leave if they get over that. Or look for games where the refunds always seem to come right around the time when a payment would be due. That's another popular game so that you never get paid. Go with your gut.
