3. Referral Commission Calculation

3.1. The Referral Commission

You will earn a Referral Commission which will be calculated at the end of each month whilst you are a member of the Affiliate Programme. We will only pay you Referral Commission if you meet the criteria stated by this Clause and when you have legitimately generated it. We pay you your Referral Commission once a month.

‘Net Gaming Revenue’ (NGR) means all gross monies which we receive from Customers’ settled bets after deducting taxes, processing fees and cash bonuses.

‘Target Product’ means the Product you have agreed to promote whilst you are a member of the Affiliate Programme. Your Target Product will either be i) Sports, ii) Casino, Bingo & Games. We will pay you the Referral Commission when you generate NGR from both your Target Product and Secondary Products. 

You are only entitled to Referral Commission when:

1. your Affiliate Account is active (in accordance with Clause 4);
2. your Affiliate Account has a positive balance at the end of any given calendar month, and
3. the Referral Commission generated from the current month minus the Negative Carryover (as defined in 3.2 below) from prior months exceeds the Minimum Payment Threshold.

The Minimum Payment Threshold is:

1. £500 (or equivalent local currency) for UK or international bank transfer;
2. £50 (or equivalent local currency) for Skrill, Neteller and a BetVictor player account.

All equivalent amounts in currencies other than Pound Sterling will be calculated using our internal exchange rates as applicable in the relevant month.

Referral Commission is payable after the end of the calendar month for an active verified account, with earnings above threshold for the chosen payment method. If you meet these criteria, the % of monthly NGR which we pay you as Referral Commission is calculated as follows:

From time to time, we may change how we calculate Referral Commission and will give you as much notice as is reasonably practicable when we do this. Please note that our calculations of the Referral Commission are final.

3.2. Negative Carryover

We will carry forward negative balances in your Affiliate Account and set these off against future Referral Commission. You are only entitled to Referral Commission when your Affiliate Account has a positive balance at the end of any given calendar month.

3.3. Referral Commission Payments

You will be paid Referral Commission by Neteller, Skrill, bank transfer or by transfer to your player account. For the avoidance of doubt, you are not entitled to earn Referral Commission from your own betting activity.. Please be aware that although BetVictor will not deduct any charges for arranging a bank wire, your own bank may choose to levy a charge on such transactions.

3.4. Examples of How Referral Commission is Calculated

1. If you generate £1000 NGR from your Target Product, the Referral Commission we pay you is calculated as follows: 30% of £1000=£300 total Referral Commission;
2. If you generate £1000 NGR from your Target Product and £1000 NGR from your Secondary Product, the Referral Commission we pay you is calculated as follows: 30% of £1000=£300. 15% of £1000=£150. £300+£150=£450 total Referral Commission;
3. If you generate £1000 NGR from your Target Product and MINUS £1000 NGR from your Secondary Product, the Referral Commission we pay you is calculated as follows: 30% of £1000=£300. 15% of -£1000 is -£150. £300-£150=£150 total Referral Commission; and
4. If you generate MINUS £1000 NGR from your Target Product, this loss is carried forward and deducted from future months where you generate a positive amount of Referral Commission.

3.5. Referral Commission Payment Currency

All Referral Commission Payments will be due and paid in the currency agreed with you (which shall be either Euros, Pound Sterling, United States Dollars, Canadian Dollars). Commission is calculated in Pound Sterling. Where currency conversion is required, all amounts are converted using our internal exchange rates.  Payments made by Neteller or bank transfer are processed in Pound Sterling and may be subject to bank fees and exchange rates. We define currency exchange rates at the start of each calendar month and a copy of our current exchange rates is available on request. Referral Commission generated from referring Customers who hold accounts in currencies other than Pound Sterling will be converted using our internal exchange rates.

3.6. When No Referral Commission Is Payable

We will not pay you Referral Commission when:

1. the player is already a Customer;
2. we have reason to believe that the Customer has been, or are, involved in arbitrage;
3. your actions cause us to be fined or penalized;
4. your balance is a negative amount at the end of any given month or below threshold for the chosen payment method;
5. we find that the Customer has committed fraud or we suspect that the Customer has committed fraud.

The above will be determined by us in our sole discretion and our decision is final. Your Referral Commission may also be reduced or suspended if you reduce the promotion of our brand.

4. Our Additional Rights Over Your Affiliate Account & Customer Accounts

We reserve the right to close your Affiliate Account when we consider that you have breached the terms of this Agreement. We also reserve the right to close your Affiliate Account when we consider it inactive. Your Affiliate Account is inactive when:

1. you do not log into it for a minimum of three (03) consecutive months; and/or
2. you have not referred a minimum of three (03) depositing Customers per calendar month.

We will notify you that your Affiliate Account has become inactive by email. We retain funds which remain in your account for a minimum of one (01) month after we have closed it owing to inactivity.

Furthermore, we reserve the right to close your Affiliate Account if a minimum of sixty percent (60%) of the Customers you refer in any calendar month constitute one, or a combination of, the following categories, namely, Customers who:

1. are closed by traders for arbitrage;
2. are closed by security;
3. have their bonus excluded;
4. are linked to other Customers who have been closed for fraud and/or bonus abuse; and
5. have self-excluded.

We have the right to retain all Referral Commission in these scenarios:

1. commission that is generated by your Affiliate Account whilst your account is suspended for whatever reason;
2. commission which we have reasonable cause to believe has been generated by fraud;
3. commission which you do not claim within 24 months of you becoming entitled to it; and
4. commission which in our sole discretion has been generated by you breaching the terms of this Agreement.

We reserve the right to withhold all, or a part of, your Referral Commission if we consider that the revenue you have generated is at risk of chargeback. We will only pay out amounts which we consider to be at risk of chargeback after six (06) months have passed.

Further, we also have the right to retain all Referral Commission if within one (01) month from the registration date, the customer account is closed for one, or a combination of, the following categories, namely Customers who have experienced:

1. closure of their account for fraud and/or suspected fraud;
2. closure of their account following unexpected chargeback;
3. closure of their account following a 3^rd party investigation or law enforcement investigations;
4. closure of their account for self-exclusion;
5. closure due to their account being linked to other Customer accounts;
6. closure of their account due to bonus abuse.
