Payment Models

Please refer to Your account on the Affiliate System for specific information regarding Your payment model, and the relevant terms below for specific guidance relating to Revenue Share Deals, CPA Deals, or Hybrid Deals, as may be applicable.

Terms Applicable to Revenue Share Deals

Under the Revenue Share Deal, You will receive a payment based on income generated by Your Referred Players, based on the model outlined below.

We reserve the right to change such a model at any time and without notice.

Calculation of profit share                                                                                                

After the first month the Commission percentage will depend on the number of new FTD’s referred by You. The following progressive calculation will apply:

FTDs – Commission %

  • 0-5 – 25%
  • 6-15 – 30%
  • 16-35 – 35%
  • 35+ – 40%

If, after a 6 month inclusive period, no new FTD’s are referred, the Revenue Share will be reduced to 20%. If, after a 12 month inclusive period, no new FTD’s are referred, the Revenue Share will be reduced to 10%. 

This calculation does not apply to any CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) Deals agreed between You and Us.

Calculation of Sub-Affiliate profit share

Unless indicated on the Affiliate System or otherwise agreed between the Parties, the Sub-Affiliate profit share is calculated as five per cent (5%) of the total profit share received from Your Sub-Affiliates.

Terms Applicable to CPA Deals

Under the CPA Deal, You will receive a predetermined amount for each Referred Player. There shall be no profit-share component under this model. 

We reserve the right to change the CPA Deal at any time without notice.

Unless agreed otherwise between the Parties in writing, the first twenty (20) Referred Players under the CPA Deal are to be considered as a test phase in which We will assess the quality of the Referred Players. After the test phase has been completed, We shall, in Our sole discretion, determine whether to continue the campaign, amend pricing, or renegotiate the volumes and/or CPA amounts, based on the results obtained in the testing phase.

Unless other terms and conditions are set out for the Referred Players’ qualification with an Affiliate in a written form (e.g. in an Insertion Order), the Referred Players’ qualification process includes monthly traffic review with the Fees being deducted due to duplicate, self-excluded and Fraud players number or/and their NGR amount. Duplicate players are defined as players matching with one or several items from the following: same IP, same device, same browser, same payment info. Self-Excluded players are defined as players which made self-exclusion under at least one of the active casino licenses of the Group. We will qualify for the CPA pay-out to You only those Referred Players, whose first deposit is not less than 20 euro or the equivalent.

Terms applicable to Hybrid Deals

Under the Hybrid Deal, Your Fee will contain elements of both a Revenue Share Deal and a CPA Deal, based on the models outlined above.

For the avoidance of doubt, the terms applicable to Revenue Share Deals as outlined in Clause titled “Terms Applicable to Revenue Share Deals” and the terms applicable to the CPA Deals as outlined in Clause titled Terms Applicable to CPA Deals shall also apply to Hybrid Deals.

Affiliate Fee

Subject to your adherence to the provisions of the Affiliate Agreement, you will earn Fees in accordance with the Fee Structure set out in Your account in the Affiliate Software. We retain the right to change the Fee Structure and method of calculation of the Fees.

If an error is made in the calculation of the Fees, We have the right to correct such calculation at any time and will rectify an underpayment or reclaim an overpayment made to You.

Your acceptance of a Fee payment shall constitute the full and final settlement of the balance due for the relevant period. In case You disagree with the balance due as reported, You shall notify Us within fourteen (14) calendar days and provide valid and substantiated reasons for the disagreement. Failure to notify Us within this time period shall be considered as an irrevocable acknowledgment of the balance due for the relevant period.

The Fees shall be deemed to be exclusive of value added tax or any other applicable tax. You shall have the sole responsibility to pay any and all taxes, levies, charges and any other money payable or due to any tax authority, department or other competent entity as a result of the Fees received under the Agreement.
