within, having particular regard to Annex A - Gambling advertising: protecting children and
young people (https://www.asa.org.uk/uploads/assets/uploaded/9ee3f18a-569e-430b-b17e328a83d449a0.pdf
and to the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations)

In the event that any of these activities occur, We reserve the right to invalidate all current
traffic, terminate an Affiliate’s account without notice and will cancel any Commission accrued
to date on an Affiliate’s account.
The Affiliate shall follow our instructions (as amended from time to time) as to the manner in
which the Link must be structured in order to enable the necessary tracking to calculate
Commission. The Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that failure to comply with such instructions
may result in no Commission being due or paid and further agrees and acknowledges that We shall
have no obligation to make any retrospective adjustments to Commission payments in these
circumstances.
Neither party warrants that the operation of their respective websites (including the
Website(s), Platform or Affiliate Site) or other media means will be error-free or uninterrupted
and neither party will be liable to the other party for the consequences of any such errors or
interruption.
Commission and Payments
1. During the term of this Agreement, We shall pay the Affiliate Commission in respect of the
Referred Players as specified below. We will make all reasonable efforts to pay all Commission
accrued by an Affiliate in a particular calendar month by the 16th of the immediately following
calendar month.
2. Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Us, Commission will be calculated as a percentage of
Net Revenue generated by the Affiliate’s Referred Players . The percentage of the Affiliate’s
share of Net Revenue for each calendar month depends on the total number of new Referred Players
during that same calendar month, as set out below:-
Commission Structure
Number Of Referred Players Per Calendar Month
Affiliate's Net Revenue share
Tiers
0
20%
1-10
25%
11-40
35%
41-100
40%
101+
45%
3. By way of example only, during January, fifteen (15) Referred Players are introduced to the
Platform by the Affiliate’s Link(s). The Affiliate will therefore receive Commission of 35% of
January’s Net Revenue in respect of those Referred Customers. In February, only four (4)
Referred Players are introduced; the Affiliate will therefore receive Commission of 25% of
February’s Net Revenue from the nineteen (19) Referred Players introduced to the Platform by
that Affiliate to date (fifteen (15) from January and four (4) from February). In March, another
thirty (30) Referred Players are introduced by the Affiliate (bringing the Affiliate’s total of
Referred Players up to forty-nine (49)). The Affiliate will therefore receive Commission of 35%
of March’s Net Revenue from the forty-nine (49)Referred Players . In April, no new Referred
Players are introduced by the Affiliate. In those circumstances, the Affiliate will receive
Commission of 20% of April’s Net Revenue from the forty-nine (49) Referred Players referred by
that Affiliate to date.
4. The Affiliate understands and accepts that the Affiliate’s percentage share of Net Revenue
(and hence Commission) will vary from time to time depending on how many Referred Players are
referred to the Platform by the Affiliate Site each calendar month.
5. The Affiliate understands and accepts that We shall, in Our absolute and sole discretion,
determine whether:-
a user who is referred to the Platform via a Link shall be accepted as a Referred
Customer or not; and
to close a Referred Customer’s account if, in Our sole opinion, it is necessary to
comply with Our policies, licences or the regulations applicable to Us or is otherwise
necessary to protect Our interests. For the avoidance of doubt, Net Revenue shall cease
to be calculated (and the Affiliate’s right to receive Commission in respect of such
account) shall cease upon account closure.
6. We reserve the right to enter into individual and bespoke Commission arrangements with an
Affiliate from time to time. Such arrangements will be subject to an agreed level (either
numerical, financial or calibre) of Referred Players and will be recorded by Us in NetRefer. In
the event that the Affiliate does not achieve the required level, we reserve the right (upon 7
days’ notice to the Affiliate) to terminate the Affiliate’s individual Commission arrangements
and, from then on, to calculate the Affiliate’s Commission in accordance with paragraph 5.2. For
the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement will apply (with the exception of paragraph 5.2, for such
period as an individual Commission arrangement is in place) to all Affiliates.
7. The following shall also apply to this Agreement:
7.1 If affiliates promote us without discussing a deal with us beforehand and are not on the
default reward plan for all brands then the default commission will be RS 20%;
7.2 If an affiliate is on the default reward plan and has never agreed any unique deals with
us for any brand then any new brand released will be put on the default reward plan;
7.3 Deals may be agreed uniquely per individual brand; and
7.4 Once an individual or unique reward plan has been agreed, an affiliate will be unable to
change back to the default reward plan.
8. The Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that no payments are due to it under this Agreement
otherwise than as expressly set out in it. In particular, but without limitation, no Commission
will be due in relation to:-
any wagers, Deposits or other activity on the Platform made by or on behalf the
Affiliate, any parent undertaking or subsidiary of the Affiliate, any employee, agent or
officer of the Affiliate or any other natural person related to the foregoing;
any Deposits resulting from the fraudulent or unlawful use of a credit, debit or other
payment mechanism or by any other fraudulent or unlawful means;
any Deposits which are subsequently cancelled, refunded, reversed or charged back
deposits made from accounts deemed as bonus abuse accounts as set out in our brands
terms and conditions, in particular due to suspicious playing patterns or suspicious
patterns across customer accounts.
9. In the event that the total Commission payable by Us to an Affiliate is less than the minimum
thresholds set out below or its non-sterling equivalent, We shall roll any Commission due over
to the subsequent calendar month (or months) until the relevant minimum threshold is achieved:-
Payment Method
UK Threshold
Non UK Threshold
Electronic Transfer
£100
£400
Skrill
£100
£100
Neteller
£100
£100
10. Payments to the Affiliate will be made in UK Pounds sterling using such payment details as
are provided by the Affiliate during the registration process (or as otherwise notified to us in
writing from time to time).
11. Should We incur bank charges due to incorrect details being provided or issues which are the
fault of the Affiliate, the costs incurred will be deducted from subsequent Commission payments.
12. We reserve the right, both before and after termination of this Agreement,:-
to withhold permanently and/or recover any Commission due or paid to an Affiliate as a
result of fraudulent, deceptive or misleading activity by the Affiliate or anyone acting
on its behalf (including, but not limited to, as detailed in clause 4.7) regardless of
whether We suffer harm; and
to set off any amount owed to the Affiliate against any amount owed to Us, whether as a
result of this Agreement or otherwise including, but not limited to, any loss or damage
which we suffer arising out of any act or omission by the Affiliate.
13. Nothing in this Agreement shall give or be deemed to give the Affiliate a right to audit Our
accounts and records.
Tax
The Affiliate shall be responsible for all payment of all VAT, sales or other taxes due under
any and all applicable laws as a result of the Commission paid to it by Us. Upon request, the
Affiliate shall provide us with such evidence as We may require to evidence settlement of all
and any taxes due on the Affiliate’s Commission.
UK VAT registered Affiliates must supply us with a VAT invoice covering the Commission due to it
on a calendar monthly basis; Affiliates can obtain this information from NetRefer. The VAT
invoice must include the Affiliate’s VAT number, business name, business address and Affiliate
ID. We must receive this invoice by the 6th of the month immediately after the calendar month to
which the Commission relates. If no VAT invoice is received as set out in this paragraph, We
will treat the Affiliate’s Commission as VAT inclusive and pay to the Affiliate the Commission
amount only. In these circumstances We will be under no obligation to make any retrospective
adjustments to Commission payments made.
The Affiliate shall notify Us immediately if it ceases to be registered for VAT, transfers its
business as a going concern or becomes registered for VAT under a different VAT registration
number.
If we are required by law to deduct withholding tax or any other taxes or duties from any
Commission, We will deduct such amounts from the Commission before paying them to the Affiliate.
The Affiliate shall:-
not engage in any activity, practice or conduct which would constitute either:-
a UK tax evasion facilitation offence under section 45(1) of the Criminal
Finances Act 2017; or
a foreign tax evasion facilitation offence under section 46(1) of the Criminal
Finances Act 2017;
have and shall maintain in place throughout the term of this Agreement such policies and
procedures as are both reasonable to prevent the facilitation of tax evasion by another
person (including without limitation employees of the Affiliate) and to ensure
compliance with paragraph 6.5(a);
promptly report to Us any request or demand from a third party to facilitate the evasion
of tax within the meaning of Part 3 of the Criminal Finances Act 2017, in connection
with the performance of this Agreement; and
within 3 months of the date of this Agreement, and annually thereafter, certify to Us in
writing signed by an officer of the Affiliate, compliance with this paragraph 6.5 by the
Affiliate and all persons associated with it. The Affiliate shall provide such
supporting evidence of compliance as the Customer may reasonably request.
We reserve the right, both before and after termination of this Agreement, to withhold
permanently an amount equal to any likely tax liability payable (whether now or in the future)
by the Affiliate in the event that We have reason to believe that the Affiliate has committed or
is committing a tax evasion offence.
