COMMISSION STRUCTURES AND CALCULATIONS
6.1 For the purposes of this clause 6, “Net Revenue” shall be calculated as follows:
On Sportsbook activities: all gross monies from bets made by Affiliate Players less bets won, less monies paid out to Affiliate Players as winnings, fraud, processing and licensing fees, charge-backs, bonuses, and other incentives offered to the Affiliate Player. On Casino activities: total wagers made by Affiliate Players, less bets won, less payouts, charge-backs, bonuses, fraud, processing and licensing fees, and other incentives offered to the Affiliate Player.
6.2 Any payments made pursuant to this clause 6 shall be referred to as Commissions. CommissionPartners reserves the right to offer different commission structures in respect of different Clients.
6.3 Revenue Share Scheme:
CommissionPartners will pay the Affiliate a percentage, as set out at clause 6.4, of the total monthly Net Revenue for play generated by Affiliate Players on each Client Website (for which the Affiliate acts). An Affiliate shall only be entitled to commission on Net Revenue generated by Affiliate Players using those products on which that Affiliate may act by agreement with CommissionPartners.
6.4 Commission Scheme:
We will pay each Affiliate a commission, which is calculated in accordance with clause
6.5, on all real money players that the Affiliate refers under this Agreement. With consistent or increased affiliate performance, Affiliates may be offered higher commission rates or hybrid plans. Affiliates need to meet both the minimum active player and Net Revenue conditions to be entitled to each commission tier percentage rate and the commission calculation will follow the lower commission tier percentage rate for any failure to meet both active player and Net Revenue. The Affiliate commission calculation excludes the gross gaming revenue generated from any closed player account regardless of the reason for the closure of that account. Affiliate Accounts must meet the minimum active player amount based on the operator brand as set out in clause 6.5 and minimum Net Revenue of USD 1.00 (one US dollar) (or the equivalent amount in CNY). All the products on which the Affiliate acts must meet the minimum payment amount per month before any payouts can be made. If an Affiliate’s monthly accrued Revenue Share is below the minimum amount set out in clause 6.9, no payout will be made, however, that Affiliate’s revenue Share will accrue until the minimum payout amount has been reached and can be cashed out.
6.6 Commissions by Program
In the event that an Affiliate delivers fewer than 3 new real money depositors in any 6-month period, CommissionPartners may, at its sole discretion, drop that Affiliate’s Revenue Share Commission to the lowest tier until the Affiliate is able to deliver 3 new real money depositors.
In the event that an Affiliate delivers fewer than 3 new real money depositors in any 6-month period, CommissionPartners will not issue affiliate payment until the Affiliate is able to deliver 3 new real money depositors.
CPA/Hybrid commission plans are only offered on a case-by-case basis at the operator brand discretion.
6.7 For a player to be considered “active”, please refer to their respective program set out at clause 6.6.
6.8 Net Revenue shall be calculated for each Affiliate Player and in respect of each Client Website for which the Affiliate acts and the aggregate of all such calculations shall be the amount to which the relevant percentage is applied.
6.9 The determination of a payout (if any) in the event that fraudulent activity has been discovered will be at CommissionPartners’ sole discretion.
* For commissions paid out via Bitcoin, the conversion will be based on the exchange rate prevailing on the day before the payout date.
6.10 There is no maximum payout applies.
6.11 For the avoidance of doubt every Affiliate will participate in the Revenue Share commission structure unless agreed between the Affiliate and CommissionPartners.
6.12 Referral Commission:
If any Affiliate refers a Sub-Affiliates to the Program, that Affiliate shall be entitled to a Referral Commission which is calculated as a percentage of the Revenue Share Commission earned by that Sub-Affiliate in accordance with the following table: For a Sub-Affiliates referral to be valid, that Sub-Affiliate may not be directly or indirectly owned or controlled by that referring Affiliate or by any member of the referring Affiliate’s immediate family. The referring shall not be entitled to any Referral Commission under this Agreement in respect of any such connected Sub-Affiliate.
6.13 If any Revenue Share commission payment to a Sub-Affiliate is reclaimed under the terms of its agreement with CommissionPartners or any payment is made to an Affiliate in breach of clause 6.3 then that Affiliate will promptly repay the applicable Referral Commission or Revenue Share Commission it has been paid upon receiving notice to do so from CommissionPartners. CommissionPartners has the right to set off any amount owed to it against any payments owed to the Affiliate under this Agreement.
6.14 All payments to an Affiliate under clause 6.12 will terminate when payments to the relevant Sub-Affiliate end for whatever reason.
6.15 CommissionPartners may, at any time, change the amount of Referral Commission due under clause 6.12 in respect of any new Sub-Affiliates referred by giving notice.

You should place the links and banners on the home page or other high traffic pages. The more visibility you give a Commission Partners client, the more visitors will see it and click through to open an account. You can discuss placement with your Account Manager to maximize the exposure of the links.
Can I use the partner logos or content on my website?
Yes. As a Commission Partners Affiliate, you have access to a wide variety of graphics and content you can use on your website. You may not alter or create your own banners or graphics without obtaining permission from Betting Partners. If you have any questions about graphics, please contact us at [email protected].
How do you know a player came from my website?
We use cookies to track referrals to all Commission Partners brands. When a visitor to your website clicks through from a banner or text link that contains your unique tracking ID, a cookie is dropped on their computer. This cookie tells us how this player reached the site and you are credited with the referral.

Commission Partners does not accept affiliates who engage in spam activities. If an affiliate is using spamming practices, their account is closed immediately, and any payments forfeited. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information.
Account information

Geo-targeting
How are players directed to local websites?
As there are multiple clients operating within the Commission Partners Program in different markets around the globe, our clients' websites are equipped with geo-targeting functionality that directs prospective players to the appropriate site for their jurisdiction. This ensures players receive the content and offers relevant to their market.
Does my affiliate tracking work when a player is redirected to their local site?
Yes. Affiliate tracking works across all Commission Partners' clients.
Do all affiliate tools in the resource section work?
Yes. We have tested all tools in our affiliate resource section, and they function and track properly. Be sure to use the code exactly as shown.
What web pages does a redirected player end up on?
If a player clicks on one of our client's links that is not for their local website, they are automatically redirected to the home page of one of our clients that does service that jurisdiction.
Earnings and payments
Do I earn commissions on my own deposits or wagers?
No, you cannot earn commissions on your own account. If you create a player account as a referral of yourself, your account will be removed from your referral portfolio and any earnings made from self referral will not be issued.
Do negative balances carry over?
Yes, negative balances will carry over from month to month. You'll need to work off the negative balance before you will be paid. How are my commissions calculated?
Please see how all commissions are calculated here.
How is net revenue calculated?
For Sportsbook, Casino and Racebook wagers, net revenue is calculated as gross revenue less charge backs, complimentary money, processing and licensing fees, free money offers, and other incentives offered to the customer.
For the Racebook, net revenue is calculated as all losses minus wins from bets made by players less monies paid out as winnings, processing and licensing fees, fraud, charge-backs, bonuses, and other incentives.
If I have a player who signs up but isn’t one of my referrals, can you change their referral ID to my account?
No, we cannot change referral IDs from one affiliate to another. Please use affiliate tracking links for 100% efficiency.
I operate more than one site. Can you track them separately and pay my entire balance with one commission payment?
Yes, you can set up multiple unique tracking IDs that are all part of the same affiliate ID.
Is there a minimum I need to receive a payment?
Here is the minimum required earnings required: Via Crypto currencies such as Bitcoin, minimum payout is $10 USD
*Note that If your monthly earnings are significantly large, you can receive multiple increments for the same commission month's payment.
**If commissions are less than the minimum balance, they are held until the next month, or until the minimum balance is reached in your account.
What happens with fraud and chargebacks?
If an account is considered fraudulent or has chargebacks, it will be disabled. Commissions are not earned on disabled accounts.
What happens if one of my players wins a jackpot?
On every spin on a network progressive jackpot, an allocation is made directly to that jackpot. When a jackpot is won, payment is made from those contributions. These are completely separate accounts. Progressive contributions are not counted as part of gross revenue and neither are progressive payouts. When a progressive jackpot is won, it does not affect your earnings.
What are the payment methods?
We currently offer an array of different crypto currencies including Bitcoin for affiliate payments.
Can I have my commissions paid into a betting account?
No. We no longer offer this payment option. We offer crypto as payout method.
Can I have my commissions paid into another player's accounts?
No. Betting Partners only pay commissions to the individual affiliate, and will not transfer funds to other individuals.
Am I guaranteed payment for your banners on my site?
No. You only earn commissions based on your referred real money gamblers once they generate losses. Revenue share is the sole revenue model available. You do not earn commissions on impressions or clicks.
How can I see my statistics and earnings?
You can view your earnings statement online, including your referral's wagering activity for the month and your commissions earned. Unique reports can also be sent on a per request basis.
You can view player sign ups and activity statistics for a given time period by logging into our online reporting tool using your username and password. Affiliates on CPA and revenue share programs can view all relevant data from which commissions are derived, and the reports are updated daily.
Can I view my traffic stats such as the number of clicks and conversions?
As we continue to develop our backend system for our affiliates, we will be integrating banner stats and click-throughs to the reporting for affiliates.
Can you give me more information about the players I have referred?
Protecting the privacy of players is of the utmost importance. When players open an account, they know their information is safe. That's why they continue to play. We do provide the account numbers of players so our affiliates can track individual players.
How many players do I need to refer to remain an active affiliate and earn based on net revenue?
To remain an active affiliate in our program, you need to refer a minimum of three depositing players over a rolling six-month period. Affiliates who fail to refer the minimum number of depositing players and are on the revenue share program have their monthly commission percentage lowered to 10% until they reach the minimum requirement. At that time they are back to the standard revenue share program.
Miscellaneous
If I sell my website, can I sell my sheet of players too?
When the ownership of your website changes, the ownership of that website's sheet of players does not necessarily follow suit. Prior to a change of ownership please contact your Account Manager or [email protected]. Who do I contact if I have other questions?
Get in touch by using the ticketing system through your account. Simply open a new ticket and it will be assigned to your Account Manager.
