Affiliate Commission

Commission in general

The commission (“Commission”, “Balance”) We pay You is a percentage of the net revenue that We earn from Customers when they wager real money at Your selected priority product (e.g. casino).

Net revenue is a Gross Revenue minus directly related expenses including but not limited to gambling taxes, bonuses, admin fee. 

Please note, that Horse Racing product is not included in the commission calculation, and no commissions will be accrued or awarded with regards to any wagers on Horse Racing events. 

Commission and Affiliate Revenue

Each month You will earn the following:

1. 30% Commission of Net Revenue from Your selected priority product group (e.g. casino);
   
2. 20% Commission of Net Revenue from the other product groups (except Your selected priority product group).
   

For example, Your selected priority product group is “Casino”, in this case Your Commission will be counted as follows (table No 1):

1 table. The example of Calculation of the Affiliate Commission

We retain the right to change the Commission structure and the method of calculation of the Commission at any time.

Other Commission plans are not offered as standard. Such plans can be created, based on the plan sent by the Affiliate to TonyBet. TonyBet will evaluate the Affiliate’s request and in case of favourable evaluation, TonyBet will issue a written appendix to the Agreement with additional terms and conditions, as well as requirements. TonyBet reserves the right to cancel such plans at any time and at Our sole discretion, without providing any reason, by sending a formal notice to the Affiliate’s registered main email address. The written appendix to the Agreement will complement and not overwrite this Agreement.

A ‘Cost-Per Acquisition’ (CPA) deal, whereby TonyBet pays a predetermined amount for each depositing player that meets the agreed trigger is considered qualified only when CPA distribution rules are met. All Affiliates will be informed of any CPA changes at least five (5) working days before changes come into effect.

CPA distribution rules

1. Player account should be active, after the trigger is met, meaning the player has to perform at least one action to qualify;
2. Players marked as fraudulent, bonus abusers or who will self-exclude will not be considered qualified for the CPA reward;
3. CPA abuse will not be tolerated, and revenues will not be paid for that kind of traffic;
4. Incentivized players and players using systems not allowed by the casino (i.e. Martingale roulette system) will not be considered qualified for the CPA reward;
5. After termination of this agreement, late converted payers will be considered qualified if deposit for the first time within 30 days from the termination date, unless an agreement is terminated due to material breach by the affiliate, in which case late converted players will not be considered qualified in any case.

TonyBet applies a negative Balance carry-over policy. Meaning, if the Customers’ activities result in a negative Balance for the Affiliate due to the Customers’ winnings/losses, the negative Balance will be carried-over to the following month.

High-Roller Policy

In any given month, if a Customer generates a negative net revenue of at least $10,000, he/she will be deemed to be, for the purposes of this section, a ‘High-Roller’.

If the aggregate Net Revenue for the Affiliate, in that month, for a Brand is negative $2,000 or greater, then the High-Roller policy as set out hereunder, will apply:

• The negative Net Revenue generated by the High-Roller will be carried forward and offset against future Net Revenue generated by that same High-Roller;
• The negative balance carried forward cannot be set-off against other Customers’ Net Revenue;
• The negative balance carried forward cannot be greater than the total aggregate negative Net Revenue for that particular Brand on the Affiliate account, for that month;
• The negative balance of a High-Roller will be reduced by future positive Net Revenue that they generate in subsequent months;
• A negative balance will not be increased by future negative Net Revenue unless the High-Roller meets the qualifying criteria in subsequent months.

Affiliate’s Commission pay-outs

The Commission of the previous calendar month is added to the Affiliate’s account until the 15th day of the following month. The minimum threshold will be €100, meaning that You can withdraw Your threshold to Your TonyBet account once You have a balance of €100 in Your Affiliate account. If the balance due is less than the minimum threshold (e.g. €500 for bank transfers), it will be carried over to the following month and will be payable when the accrued balance exceeds the minimum threshold.

Commission responsibilities and obligations

If an error is made in the calculation of the Commission, We reserve the right to correct such calculation at any time and pay out the underpayment immediately or reclaim the overpayment made to You.

If You disagree with the Balance due as reported or in any force majeure event due to Commission, You shall send an email to TonyBet to [email protected] and indicate the reasons and/or observations in 30 (thirty) days since the balance due or the force majeure event’s date. Failure to send an email within the prescribed time limit shall be deemed to be considered as an irrevocable acknowledgement.

We retain the right to review all Commissions for possible Fraud, whether such Fraud is on the part of the Customer, on the part of a Sub-Affiliate (see “Sub-Affiliate”), or on Your part. During the time which We review Commissions for possible Fraud or any other concerns due to illegal activity, TonyBet may withhold payment of any balance to You for up to 180 (one hundred eighty) days, while We investigate and verify that the relevant transactions comply with the provisions of the Agreement, laws and regulations.

By accepting this Agreement, You agree to return all Commissions received based on fraudulent or falsified transactions, plus all costs for legal causes or actions that may be brought against You to the fullest extent of the law.

You may not earn Commissions of the Net Revenue and/or of any Sub-Affiliate if the Customer or Sub-Affiliate is Your juristic entity, Your employee, co-worker, shareholder, agent or, if You are the Affiliate’s employee, agent or direct family member.

TonyBet does not pay for duplicate players i.e. a Customer who already exists within TonyBet or its Affiliate database.

Sub-Affiliate

Sub-Affiliate rights and obligations

We consider “Sub-Affiliate” as an affiliate who joins Our Affiliate programme after arriving at TonyBet via Your unique Affiliate link, which is provided to You in Your Affiliate account. We reserve the right at Our sole discretion to refuse the Sub-Affiliates (or terminate an Agreement with them) if necessary to comply with an Agreement and/or any requirements We may periodically establish.

In relation to the Sub-Affiliates You are strictly prohibited from doing any of the following:

• introducing Yourself or a family member as a Sub-Affiliate;
• offering or providing a Sub-Affiliate or potential Sub-Affiliate any incentive (financial or otherwise) to act as or become a Sub-Affiliate;
• attempt to use the Sub-Affiliate scheme in any way whatsoever in bad faith against TonyBet.

Any such attempt on your part shall be considered as a fraudulent act against TonyBet and We shall have the right to immediately block Your account and You will forfeit any past and future Commission which We have accrued to Your benefit.

Sub-Affiliates commission

Sub-Affiliates will receive Commission from TonyBet in accordance with the Agreement between the relevant affiliate and TonyBet as stated in the section “Affiliate Commission”.

You will get a 5% commission of the total Sub-Affiliate commission. For example, if Your Sub-Affiliate’s “A” Commission of the previous calendar month is €1000, You will receive €50 commission to Your Affiliate account until the 15th day of the following month. The Commission You get from Your Sub-Affiliates will be shown in a separate column of Your monthly balance.
