Payments
In consideration of referring new depositing customers and/or new affiliates to our website, and subject to the terms set forth under this Agreement, you shall be entitled to earn commissions in accordance with our commission structure as listed in Annex A below.
If you have opted for a revenue share payment model, your commissions shall be calculated as a percentage of the combined net revenue (as defined in Annex A) generated by all your qualifying customers that are active on our site during the calendar month, for as long as the said customers remain active on our site.
If you have opted for a CPA payment model, your commissions shall be calculated as a one-time fixed amount payable for each qualifying new depositing customer that meets certain criteria, such as the customer’s country of residence, the amount deposited and/or wagered by the customer during the qualifying period, or due diligence check of the customer’s account, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
If you are referring new affiliates (“sub-affiliates”) to our affiliate program, your commissions shall be calculated as a percentage of the earnings generated by all your qualifying sub-affiliates.
When referring new customers or sub-affiliates to our site, you irrevocably agree that we shall only account for customers or sub-affiliates that have registered using your dedicated tracking link, provided they do not maintain an existing account with us and/or have registered an account with us in the past. Any customer or sub-affiliate that does not meet these conditions shall not be accounted for as a referred customer or sub-affiliate under your affiliate account and you shall not qualify to receive any commission whatsoever related to the activity of that customer or sub-affiliate.
Our platform provides monthly statements and multiple reporting tools that allow you to review your affiliate performances, the number of qualifying customers introduced via your tracking links, the revenues generated by your qualifying customers and other data that we deemed useful to you. You acknowledge and agree that such data is for information purposes only, may not be error-free and may be subject to adjustments. We shall endeavour to ensure that such data is updated in real time and to the best of our capabilities remains error-free, but we are under no obligation to do so. In the event of discrepancies between the data reported in your affiliate panel and our database, the values from our database shall be deemed accurate and shall always prevail.
At the end of each calendar month, our system automatically calculates your monthly commissions generated by the activity of your qualifying customers and, following our financial checks and necessary adjustments as applicable, we shall instruct the payment of your commissions within 30 days (or more if we suspect any fraudulent activity on your account), subject to the terms set in this Agreement. If we notice any discrepancies in your commissions, we reserve the right to adjust your unpaid commissions at any time. In addition, we reserve the right to withhold from your account any commissions that have been generated from customers that registered to our site in breach of this Agreement and/or to charge to your account any applicable fees incurred by us following fraudulent activity, such as chargeback, by your referred customers. If for any reasons we are unable to apply such deductions in full to your unpaid commissions, we shall carry forward or set off any outstanding amount against your future commissions.
By accepting a payment from us, you irrevocably agree to a full and final settlement of the balance due to you for the period indicated.
We reserve the right to amend our commission structure at any time and at our sole and absolute discretion by giving you written notice. In the event of a change in our commission structure, the new commission will apply to all your qualifying customers from the time the new commission structure enters into force.
When paying your affiliate commissions, we charge a 1% administrative fee capped at 100 USD, that is directly deducted from the amount remitted to you. For clarity, the administrative fee shall be calculated as a percentage of each amount paid to you.
Should your commissions for a calendar month be negative, we will not carry forward or set off such negative amount against your future commissions which would otherwise be payable to you, subject to the terms set in this Agreement. If your commissions for a calendar month does not exceed 50 USD or the equivalent in any other currency, we shall withhold the payment of your commissions and carry forward such amount to the end of the next calendar month until your accrued commissions due exceed 50 USD or the equivalent in any other currency, at which time the payment of our commissions shall be made in accordance with the terms below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you irrevocably agree that your commissions will become due to you after you have referred a minimum of 5 new deposit customers to our website, subject to the terms set in this Agreement.
The currency of your affiliate account shall be designated in USD and your commissions shall be calculated and presented to you in USD. All payments to you will be instructed in USD or the equivalent in any other currency, at the exchange rate provided by the payment partners used for the transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, we shall no be liable to pay any currency conversion charges or any charges associated with the transfer of funds to your designated account.
We shall endeavour to pay your affiliate commissions to the account and payment method designated by you in your payment settings, but we reserve the right to ask you for an alternative payment method if required. It is your sole responsibility to provide us with the correct and relevant payment details for the purpose of effecting the payment of your commissions. You irrevocably agree that we shall use the account information provided by you when paying your commissions and accordingly that we shall not be responsible nor liable to you, should your commissions be paid to a wrong account.
All commissions earned and payments made to you under this Agreement are deemed inclusive of any VAT or other applicable tax. You are solely responsible for the proper filing and payment of your taxes.
Intellectual Property
Nothing contained in this Agreement will grant either party any right, title to or interest in the Intellectual Property Rights of the other Party. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall constitute any license, assignment, transfer or any other right to any Intellectual Property Rights.
All Intellectual Property Rights created and/or deriving from this Agreement, (including, but not limited to advertising materials, databases and personal data) shall be and become the sole property of the Company without any rights to the Affiliate.
At no time during or after the term of this Agreement shall a party attempt, challenge, assist or allow others to challenge or to register or attempt to register the Intellectual Property Rights or any rights similar to the Intellectual Property Rights of the other party or of any group companies of the other party.

No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce any rights and must be in writing to be effective.
Force Majeure
