or whether a third party is at fault.
2.3 GW reserves the right to modify these Terms and
Conditions at any moment.

be held liable for--and the Referral Company shall indemnify, defend and hold
GW harmless against--any and all claims asserted against GW by reason of the

with the advertising, marketing and promotion of the Service; including without
limitation, all costs directly related to marketing.
3.4. Multiple Accounts: You are only entitled to set up one
(1) Affiliate membership account (“Account”) with each casino, represented by
GW. You may use your Account in connection with as many domains and/or websites
you own or otherwise have the right to use. GW reserves the right to allow an
Affiliate to mantain multiple accounts on a case to case basis.
3.5. The Terms&Conditions are subject to change at
anytime and it is the responsibility of the Referral Company to be aware of the
latest rules and regulations as applicable to their commissions and payments.
4. Compensation:
4.1. The Referral Company’s compensation is calculated based on the Program (CPA, REVENUE SHARING, FIRST POST-UP or OVERALL DEPOSITS) as set forth in the following table.
4.1.1 CPA – PER SIGNUP (MARKETERS CHOICE)
In this program we pay our affiliates based on each depositing player. Below is the table of payout in this program
CPA
Up to 25 players per month - $60
26-49 players per month - $80
50+ players per month - $125
Please also note a player is only considered a depositing player should the player deposit the same amount as the CPA value and play through the deposit. This is to protect GW from potential fraudulent activity. GW reserves the right to withhold commissions from the affiliate should the affiliate bring in 'problem' players or commit fraud.
We welcome all affiliates no matter their country of origin. However, due to the potential for fraud that our CPA model opens up, management reserves the right to restrict CPA as a compensation method based on the affiliate’s country of residence. People from India, China and certain parts of Asia may have their CPA model switched to Rev-Share upon sign up. People from these regions may also experience difficulty receiving checks, as they are frequently stolen. Other methods of payment are recommended for anyone living in these countries.
4.1.2. REVENUE SHARING (CLASSIC COMMISSIONS)
In this program we share the profit made by the winnings from the customers
with our affiliate.
Customer Net Losses
Up to $15,000 - 30%
$15,001 and greater - 40%
4.1.3. FIRST POST-UP - (INITIAL DEPOSITS)
In this program we share 25% of your player’s first deposit.
4.1.4. OVERALL DEPOSITS - (MONTHLY DEPOSITS)
In this program we pay our affiliates based on total affiliates’ deposits
during the month. Below is the table of payout in this program.
Up to $75,000 – 15%
Over $75,000 – 20%
4.2. "Net Loss" - shall mean, for any given calendar month,
the total amount of the referred Customers losses in the client's websites less
the players' winnings, less bonuses paid to customers by the clients and less
any customers chargebacks.
4.3. The 2-tier model: Sub-Affiliate is defined as a new
registered affiliate that has been directed to the program by a currently
active affiliate. When you refer affiliates to GW, you will earn 5% of their
Net Profit. (Net Profit = Casino Profit - Bonus given - Chargebacks).
4.4. Negative balance: GW reserves the right to review all
Negative Balances on a case to case basis for determination of pay amounts. GW
also reserves the right to withhold partial or complete payments in cases of
Fraudulent Player Actions, Chargebacks, and other specific instances, where
intervention is required.
In the event of no negative carry over and that an Affiliate has a player that has won more than $25,000 (a "Big Winners") in a single month which causes the Affiliates overall earnings to be negative, Gambling Wages reserves the right to contact the Affiliate and temporarily remove the Big Winner from the Affiliates Channel (herein known as "Virtual fencing"). The formula that Gambling Wages will use to determine if a player has won more than $25,000 is on Net winnings less Total Approved Withdrawals less Bonuses from the first of the month until midnight on the last day of the month. The following outlines the Virtual fencing process:
a. In the event that a player wins over $25,000 causing the referring Affiliates earnings to be negative at month's end, that player will be temporarily removed or Virtual fenced from under the Affiliate, until which time the Big Winner has lost back their winnings.
b. Earnings from the current month will be retained by the Affiliate, as the Big Winner will be virtual fenced in the month in which the win occurred.
c. Once the negative net win from the Big Winner is recouped, they will be returned to the Affiliate to earn off future positive net win.
4.5. GW shall pay the Referral Company each month for
services rendered during the preceding calendar month.
Payment shall be made prior to the 15th working day of the following month. If
the amount of compensation for one month is less than US $100, the amount shall
be made available in the succeeding month (when the accumulated amount is
greater than US $100).
4.6. GW shall have the right to withhold any and all payments
to the Referral Company if the Referral Company is in breach of these Terms and
Conditions.
4.7. In cases where an affiliate is also a player, GW
reserves the right not to pay an affiliate for their personal losses.
4.8. GW may reverse any commission paid to Affiliate, and
subtract said commission from future payments to you, if GW receives a charge
back on a transaction from any customer referred by the Referral Company.
