7. STANDARD COMMISSION STRUCTURES
7.1. Percentage For all new partners, the default rate for the first month is 40% from NGR (GGR - bonuses awarded - manual casino bonus - admin fee). A negative balance on one brand does not affect a positive balance on another brand. Payments are made for each brand separately and they are not bundled. FTD for the payment are summarized from all casinos you work with.
7.2. Negative carryover terms: If the Affiliate’s account in the current accounting period (from the first day of the month till the last day of the month) has a negative NGR under his own activity (Affiliate’s NGR), such as negative NGR would be carried over on the next month with the following rules (brackets used to denote negative sign): 0 > Affiliate’s NGR >= (10,000) EUR. Such as negative NGR would NOT be carried over for the next accounting period (10,000) EUR > Affiliate’s NGR. Such as negative NGR would be carried over for the next accounting period plus (compensated by the Company) 10,000 EUR For example, Affiliate promotes 2 Brands and at the end of the accounting period has the following statistic: Brand 1: NGR (11,000) EUR Brand 2: NGR 6,000 EUR Then at the beginning of the next accounting period Affiliate would have the following information about promoted brands: Brand 2: NGR (1,000) EUR, where 10,000 EUR were compensated and was not carried over Brand 2: NGR 0 EUR, as usual at the beginning of the accounting period Moreover, as mentioned above, payouts for Brands do NOT sum. E.g. if Affiliate has a revenue share 50% terms, he will gain: For Brand 2: 0 EUR For Brand 2: 3,000 EUR (6,000 * 50% = 3,000)
7.3 High-roller policy If the total NGR for the Customer, in the qualifying month, for a Brand is negative of at least 10,000 EUR or greater, then the High-Roller Policy as set out hereunder, will apply: The Company has the right to not include such a player in the Affiliate’s payouts regardless of the conditions for the negative balance carryover and high-roller policy. The negative NGR generated by the High-Roller shall affect Monthly NGR in the qualifying month, but all commission adjustments are to be made in the subsequent months. The commission of the qualifying month remains unchanged. In case of Monthly negative NGR in the qualifying month – the amount has to be carried over to the next periods and deducted from the future NGR generated by the same High-Roller before the final commission count. The negative balance carryover cannot be set-off against other Customers’ future NGR. The negative balance carryover cannot be greater than the total monthly negative NGR for the particular Brand on the Affiliate account in the qualifying period. A positive NGR of a High-Roller in subsequent months will be reduced to nil before the final commission count until the High-Roller's carried over negative NGR is fully refunded. A negative balance will not be increased by future negative NGR unless the High-Roller meets the qualifying criteria in subsequent months. If a High-Roller meets the qualifying criteria in subsequent months, a negative balance will be increased by the amount equal to a negative NGR balance in the qualifying month. All positive High-Roller balances under 100 EUR are carried over to the next period until the amount of 100 EUR and over is accumulated. Once it is reached, the cumulative amount of 100 EUR and over is subtracted from the remaining High-Roller’s negative balance.
