Such behaviour shall be deemed as fraud. You will also not benefit or attempt to benefit from traffic not generated in good faith whether or not it actually causes us damage. Where you have any reasonable suspicion that any New Customer and/or Sub-Affiliate referred by you under the Affiliate Agreement is in any way associated to bonus abuse, money laundering, fraud, or other abuse of remote gaming sites, you will immediately notify us of the same. You hereby recognise that any New Customer and/or Sub-Affiliate found to be a bonus abuser, money launderer or fraudster or who assists in any form of affiliate fraud (whether notified by you or later discovered by us) shall not constitute a valid New Customer and/or Sub-Affiliate under the Affiliate Agreement (and thereby no Commission shall be payable by us in relation to such New Customers and/or Sub-Affiliate).

- the right to withhold any Commission or any other payment payable or owing to the Affiliate arising from or relating to any specific campaign, traffic, content or activity conducted or created by the Affiliate under the Affiliate Agreement which is in breach of (or otherwise not in accordance with) the Affiliate’s obligations under the Affiliate Agreement;

- immediately terminate the Affiliate Agreement.
- Our rights and remedies detailed above shall not be mutually exclusive. Therefore, the exercise of one or more of the right or remedies listed above shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy. You also acknowledge, confirm, and agree that damages may be inadequate for a breach or a threatened breach of the Affiliate Agreement and, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of the Affiliate Agreement; we may seek enforcement or compliance by specific performance, injunction, or other equitable remedy. Nothing contained in the Affiliate Agreement shall limit or affect any of our rights at law, or otherwise, for a breach or threatened breach of any provision of the Affiliate Agreement, the intention of this provision is to make clear that our rights shall be enforceable in equity as well as at law or otherwise.
- Account Activity. In addition, and without prejudice to the above:
- in case you are non-compliant with applicable laws and/or any of our instructions, guidelines and/or policies issued to you from time to time, we may, at our discretion, (i) suspend your Affiliate Account(s), fully or partially, for a period of time (in which case, clause 6.11 shall apply) and terminate the Affiliate Agreement with immediate effect where the relevant circumstance(s) has not been rectified by you within the period of time allocated by us; or (ii) terminate the Affiliate Agreement, fully or partially, with immediate effect;
- any of the following instances shall cause the Affiliate Agreement to be automatically terminated, fully or partially, upon the lapse of the mentioned six (6) month period: (i) failure to generate less than ten (10) New Customers over a period of six (6) consecutive months; or (ii) failure to access your Affiliate Account for a period of six (6) consecutive months; or (iii) where Commission earned by you results in a negative amount over a period of six (6) consecutive months.
- We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to immediately cease or otherwise amend the Affiliate Program with regards to any Website(s), in its entirety, or partially with respect to one or more jurisdictions, if applicable. In this instance, we will not be liable to pay you any Commission which has accrued to your benefit that is attributable to such jurisdiction(s), with immediate effect and without notice to you. Your Affiliate Agreement shall be automatically amended to reflect the aforementioned accordingly.
6. Commission and payment:
- Subject to your adherence with the provisions of the Affiliate Agreement, you will earn Commission in accordance with the Commission Structure on Net Revenue of New Customers referred by you to the Website(s). We may unilaterally make changes to the Commission percentage and method of calculation. If such change is not acceptable to an Affiliate, the Affiliate may terminate the Affiliate Agreement in accordance with clause 10. The Commission shall be deemed to be exclusive of value added tax or any other applicable tax. VAT shall be payable to the Affiliate in addition to the Commission except where it is us who have to account for VAT in Cyprus in relation to the Affiliate Program (under reverse charge). In case of any change in the applicable VAT, the Commission shall be adjusted so our position remains one which is not more onerous than prior to the change. Unless You are notified by us to the contrary, we operate a ‘no negative carryover’ policy with the exception of the ‘high roller policy’ as defined in clause 6.9.
- The Commission is calculated at the end of each month and payments shall be made on a monthly basis in arrears, upon presentation an invoice raised by you, not later than the tenth (10th) of the following calendar month, provided that the amount due exceeds fifty Euro (€50) (the “Minimum Threshold”). If the balance due is less than the Minimum Threshold, it shall be accumulated and carried over to the following month and each month thereafter until the total Commission collectively exceeds the Minimum Threshold. The said total Commission shall be included in the invoice to be raised in the month following that when the Minimum Threshold is reached.
- Due to regulations applicable to us from time to time, Affiliates may be required to provide documentation for verification and ‘know your customer’ purposes before a withdrawal can be accessed. If an error is made in the calculation of the Commission, we reserve the right to correct such calculation at any time – in the event of an overpayment, this shall be set-off against any forthcoming invoices to be raised by the Affiliate.
- The Affiliate’s acceptance of the payment of the Commission shall be deemed to constitute the full and final settlement of the balance due for the relevant period.
- If either Party disagrees with the balance due, it shall notify the other Party within fifteen (15) days and state the reasons of disagreement. The disputed amount shall then be compared by us to reports offered in the Affiliate Account system and our database, and the final amount payable shall be as per the figure reported on the database.
- The Affiliate may, at our sole discretion, be provided with the opportunity to restructure its commission structure. Examples of alternative commission structures could include a Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) model. However, and for the avoidance of doubt, only one type of Commission Structure for the same product may be applied at the same time. Therefore, once an Affiliate accepts our offer to apply a new commission structure, different to the standard Commission Structure detailed in the Affiliate Agreement, the Affiliate hereby agrees and understands that the new proposed commission structure shall replace the existing commission structure in its entirety. Notwithstanding the above, the Affiliate’s obligations assumed under the Affiliate Agreement will still continue to apply to the Affiliate even if a new commission structure is applicable.
- The Affiliate shall have the sole responsibility to pay any and all taxes, levies, fees, charges and any other money payable or due both locally and abroad (if any) to any tax authority, department or other competent entity as a result of the compensation generated under the Affiliate Agreement. We shall under no circumstances whatsoever be held liable for any such amounts unpaid but found to be due by the Affiliate and the Affiliate shall indemnify us in that regard.
- If in any given calendar month, a player from any Affiliate generates negative commissionable revenue of at least fifty thousand Euro (€50,000) then such player shall be deemed to be a high roller (“High roller(s)”). In calculating Commission for High Rollers, where commission earned by an Affiliate in relation to a High Roller(s) results in a negative amount in any calendar month then we shall have the right to carry forward any such negative amounts and the negative amounts will be applicable to, and set off against, any future commission payable to you in relation to the High Roller(s) until the negative balance has been fully set off against future positive commission. If any High Roller(s) has a negative commissionable revenue in excess of fifty thousand Euro (€50,000) in the last calendar month prior to the current unbilled calendar month then this negative commissionable revenue will be considered as negative carryover and used to calculate Commission for the current unbilled calendar month.
- If at any time and for any reason, any monies received by us from New Customers need to revert back to said New Customers, any Commissions paid to you based on said monies shall accordingly revert back to us. We shall also be entitled to set-off from future Commissions and/or Sub-Affiliate Commissions payable to you any amounts already received by you in these circumstances.
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if your Affiliate Account is suspended for any reason whatsoever, you will not generate and/or accumulate any Commission (including Sub-Affiliate Commission) during any such suspension period. Therefore, no Commission shall be generated during such period and you will also not be entitled to receive any payments of such Commission and/or Sub-Affiliate Commission:Provided that for the avoidance of doubt, this clause 6.10 shall apply notwithstanding:
- that the Commission that would have otherwise been generated by you during the suspension period, relates to New Customers registered prior to the said suspension period; and/or
- any New Customers that may have completed their registration on any of the Website(s) during the said suspension period; and/or
- any traffic that may have been generated to any of our Website(s) during the said suspension period.
7. Sub-Affiliate Terms and Conditions:
- The following terms and conditions shall apply to you in respect of Sub-Affiliates. Potential Sub-Affiliates will be required to complete and submit an Affiliate Application. We will assess the Sub-Affiliate application and may, at our sole and absolute discretion, accept or otherwise reject such Affiliate Application pertaining to potential Sub-Affiliates.
- Upon our acceptance of a Sub-Affiliate to the Affiliate Program, each Sub-Affiliate will be required to accept the terms and conditions of the Affiliate Agreement, as set out herein.
- Upon our acceptance of a Sub-Affiliate to the Affiliate Program, Sub-Affiliates will receive Commission from us in accordance with the Affiliate Agreement. You shall be entitled to receive Commission from us based on the Commissions received by the Sub-Affiliates introduced by you to us (the “Sub-Affiliate Commission”). The Sub-Affiliate Commission due to you shall depend on the Commission Structure agreed between such Sub-Affiliate and us, regardless of the Commission Structure applicable to you. For the sake of clarity, where a Sub-Affiliate’s account is suspended resulting in the cessation of said Sub-Affiliate’s Commission payments, Sub-Affiliate Commission shall also cease during said time where the Sub-Affiliate account is suspended. In such case you shall not be entitled to claim any potential commission that might have otherwise accrued in relation to this period of suspension.
- For the sake of clarity, nothing herein shall entitle you to receive any Commission for sub-affiliates introduced by a Sub-Affiliate to us.

For the avoidance of doubt, you shall not be entitled to any Sub-Affiliate Commission if: (i) you are a legal person, and the relevant Sub-Affiliate is your director, an officer of the entity, employee or agent or in any case an entity within the same group of companies as you; or, (ii) you are a natural person, and the relevant Sub-Affiliate is your employee, agent or relative; (b) offering, making available to or providing a Sub-Affiliate (including a potential Sub-Affiliate) an incentive – whether financial or otherwise – to act as, or, become a Sub-Affiliate; (c) attempt to use the Sub-Affiliate structure in any manner whatsoever in bad faith against us.
- If we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that you have done or attempted to do any of the aforesaid, we may immediately block your Affiliate Account/s, and/or retain any Commission and/or Sub-Affiliate Commission (as we may unilaterally decide) otherwise payable to you, and you will no longer be entitled, and, we will no longer be liable, to pay such Commission and/or Sub-Affiliate Commission to you.
