Introduce an operator to us and there are two ways to earn on it: one that pays today and one designed for later. They are not alternatives and you do not pick one, and both land in the same affiliate balance.
This post is the whole mechanism, including the caps and the parts that stop. One thing first: only the milestone awards pay today. They are the programme the published Affiliate Program Terms describe, and those Terms say up front that they are not a revenue-share or commission programme. The share of what your operators buy is the design of what comes next; it starts when its own terms are published, and nothing accrues under it until then.
Layer one: a share of what your operators buy
Designed, not switched on. The numbers below describe how the share will work, not what you can claim today.
When an operator you introduced buys from us, 10% of that purchase becomes a reward pool. The pool is split across four generations of who introduced whom:
L1 is whoever introduced the operator. L2 is whoever introduced L1, and so on up the chain.
| Level | Of the pool | Of the purchase |
|---|---|---|
| L1 | 50% | 5% |
| L2 | 25% | 2.5% |
| L3 | 15% | 1.5% |
| L4 | 10% | 1% |
Read the right-hand column, not the middle one. If you brought the operator in yourself, you are L1 and you earn 5% of what they spend, not 10%. The 10% is the whole pool before it is divided.
Three limits are part of the design rather than fine print.
The pool is capped at $10,000 per referred operator. Once a given operator has generated that much pool in total, further purchases by that operator generate nothing for anyone in the chain.
The window is 12 months from when the commission window opens. After it closes, that operator’s purchases stop accruing.
Missing levels are not redistributed. If there is no L3 above you, that 15% is not shared out among the levels that do exist. It simply is not paid.
Layer two: a fixed award for reaching a step
Separately from the percentage, you are paid a one-time award each time your count of qualified operators reaches a step.
An operator counts as qualified once its cumulative purchases reach USD 10,000. The Terms are unusually blunt about what that number is: the gross amount the operator actually paid, with nothing deducted. Not what we owe game providers out of it, not payment fees, not taxes, not any cost of ours.
Only operators you introduced directly count here, and the counting identity is the corporate group rather than the account. Several operator accounts under one group are one qualified operator, and splitting a business across accounts does not create more of them. Purchases only count from the programme’s effective date onward.
| Qualified operators | Award | Cumulative |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| 10 | $2,500 | $3,500 |
| 20 | $5,000 | $8,500 |
| 30 | $7,500 | $16,000 |
| 40 | $10,000 | $26,000 |
| 50 | $15,000 | $41,000 |
| 60 | $20,000 | $61,000 |
| 70 | $30,000 | $91,000 |
| 85 | $50,000 | $141,000 |
| 100 | $100,000 | $241,000 |
Each row is its own award. Reaching a later step does not replace, net off or reclaim an earlier one, so an affiliate who reaches 100 qualified operators has been paid $241,000 in awards across the way, not $100,000 at the end.
Refunds and chargebacks work in the other direction: they reduce a group’s accumulated qualifying purchases pro rata, and a full refund removes that purchase entirely, which can take a qualification back down. So can a later finding of fraud, related ownership or a wrong attribution. Those are recorded as events rather than by quietly editing a number, and a certified correction can restore the qualification.
Why two layers rather than one bigger number
The percentage would reward the operator who keeps buying. The step award rewards bringing more operators. An affiliate with one enormous operator and an affiliate with thirty steady ones are doing different work, and a single percentage would pay one of them badly.
The published Affiliate Program Terms are the contract for the step awards, and they say plainly that the Program itself is not a revenue-share and does not entitle you to a share of operator spend. That sentence is about layer two, not a denial of layer one: the Terms allow for a separate commission arrangement credited to the same balance, and that is where layer one will sit once its own terms are published. Both would be one balance for withdrawal purposes.
What is not true
It is not a lifetime percentage of operator spend. The cap and the 12 month window both end it.
It is not 10% for you. 10% is the pool. Your share of it depends on how far you sit from the operator.
A brand is not an operator. Two brands under one verified corporate group are one qualified operator, once.
Both layers are arithmetic on numbers you can watch accumulate, one of them today and the other once it is switched on: what your operators buy, and how many of them cross the threshold. That is the reason to write the rules out in full rather than quote a headline percentage and leave the caps for later.
