"Valid Click" means a click from an Affiliate Partner's site to a Brand site that results in the Brand Web page being viewable to the visitor.

"Visitor" means any person, web surfer or user that clicks on an Affiliate Partner's link to view a Brand's web page.



1.1 COMMISSION FEES

Affiliates commission fees will be a percentage of the "Net Revenue". JACKPOTJOY pays a varying commission fee based on amount of new real money players generated by the affiliate in the previous calendar month. It will never be lower than 30%. An affiliate's monthly payable balance is automatically reset to £0 at the beginning of each calendar month, thus ensuring that any negative balances are not carried forward.

 

The commission percentage is calculated according to the number of real money players referred in the previous calendar month.

A flat Cost per Acquisition (CPA) of £30 is also available.


1.2 COMMISSION PAYMENTS AND FEES

Affiliates are paid by Jackpotjoy by the 15th of the month. You can receive your payment via Electronic Transfer, Neteller or Moneybookers in £ currency.

 

You get paid by electronic transfer once the balance earned reaches £200 and by Moneybookers or Neteller once the balance reaches £100. If the balance is less than these amounts it will be carried over until the thresholds have been reached.

 

Money credited to your account does not accrue interest. In the event that an affiliate enters incorrect bank details and the payment is not completed, the affiliate will have the bank charges associated with this error deducted from their commission earnings. JACKPOTJOY reserves the right to withhold affiliate payments which we deem to be of a suspicious nature. By suspicious we mean the following: if JACKPOTJOY determines, or suspects, that a transaction is suspicious and involves or may involve financial crime or similar activity, JACKPOTJOY reserves the right to retain the amount of that transaction and any other transaction made by you.

JACKPOTJOY reserves the right to withhold CPA payments for referred players from countries other than the UK, Ireland or Spain.

JACKPOTJOY can withdraw an affiliate promotion at any time for any reason if JACKPOTJOY, at its sole discretion, deems the promotion harmful, inappropriate, aimed at undesirable countries or in any way in violation of this document.
