Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is an affiliate program and how does it work?

An affiliate program sets the basis for a business collaboration between three parties: the affiliate (advertiser), the affiliate program and the operator/brand which is being advertised. The main goal of the advertiser is to target the desirable audience and redirect them to the websites where they will have to perform a certain activity which might be signing up and performing certain transactions. For the purpose of attracting customers to the platform in question, the affiliate uses unique links, promo-texts, landing pages and other promotional material.

What are the commission types offered at PlayAttack?

Revenue Share: the Revenue sharing commission model refers to a payment plan where the affiliate partner receives a certain percentage for the activities performed by his referrals (i.e. depositing funds to their account). With this commission type, your earnings ultimately depend on how active your qualified leads are.

CPA: CPA stands for cost per acquisition, and refers to a fixed amount that you earn as an affiliate whenever your lead signs up with the brand that is being advertised.

Hybrid: The hybrid commission type is a combination of the RevShare and the CPA types. Therefore, as an affiliate, you will receive a fixed amount and a percentage agreed upon with the affiliate platform as part of your hybrid payment plan.

What’s the regular conversion?

There are no rules when it comes to conversions. The indicators are individual and heavily depend on various factors such as time and effort put into promoting the brands, the quality of traffic, the quality of the leads redirected to the casino operators etc. Experience shows that it’s more likely to achieve high conversion rates with targeted traffic, both when it comes to the theme and to the audience.

I don’t have my own website. Can I still work with you?

You can work with us even if you don’t have your own website from which you can redirect customers to our casino brands. However, it is important to remember, that customers prefer to follow a trustworthy, reputable source. Therefore, it might prove more difficult and time-consuming for you to achieve solid conversion rates if you don’t have an authoritative website domain that can assist you in your efforts.

What is doorway traffic? Do you accept traffic from doorways?

The term doorway traffic refers to a web page created and optimized for one or more search keys. Oftentimes, it offers minimum information on the product which is being advertised, urging the user to learn more by visiting the website which is being promoted.

PlayAttack does accept doorway traffic. However, affiliates should understand that doorway traffic is not high-quality traffic and it usually comes with minimum profit.

What are the requirements for the website traffic?

There are no specific rules set for the Affiliates when it comes to advertising our brands. The main rule which must be adhered to is to ensure that the website traffic that our partner casinos receive is legal. You can view further details on the affiliate rights and obligations in the dedicated Terms & Conditions section.

Commissions

How does the revenue share commission type work?

The PlayAttack Affiliate Program pays the Affiliate a percentage of the Total Net Gaming Revenue (TNGR) calculated daily based on agreement between the Affiliate and PlayAttack. 

How is the Affiliate’s Revenue Share profit calculated?

The profit of the affiliate is calculated based on the Total Net Gaming Revenue (TNGR). 

Here’s how the TNGR is calculated:

TNGR = Gross Gaming (your players bets minus winnings) minus the following:
  • any charge-backs/refunds initiated by the players;
  • any bonuses and promotions given to the players;
  • funds paid as any transactions fees, calculated as % of the total volume of Deposits and Withdrawals;
  • funds paid as any providers fees, calculated as % of Gross Gaming;
  • funds paid as any taxation fees, calculated as % of Gross Gaming;
  • funds paid as any licensing fees, calculated as % of Gross Gaming

 

Example:

One of our affiliates referred eleven (11) players to one of our casino brands. These players deposited a combined total of $4.000, withdrew $2.000, and received a combined amount of $500 in bonuses. The Gross Gaming is $2000 with no charge-backs/refunds/etc.
The TNGR will be calculated based on this formula:

GG – Bonuses – (In + Out) * Transactions% – GG * Providers fee% – GG * Taxation fees% – GG * Licensing fees%

For this specific example, let’s assume that the transaction fee is 5%, Providers fee is 15%, Taxation fee is 20% and Licensing fee is 5%.

TNGR = $2000 – $500 – ($4.000 + $2.000) * 5% – $2000 * 15% – $2000 * 20% – $2000 * 5% = $400

Based on the agreed Revenue Share deal, the Affiliate partners receive a 30% commission for the gaming activity of the players they’ve referred to our casino brand.

Therefore, the final profit generated by the affiliate amounts to $400 * 30% = $120

How is the Affiliate’s CPA profit calculated?

The CPA profit of the affiliate is calculated based on the approves of the New Players leads according to these conditions:

  • New Player does and has not had a player account with any Operator’s Website
  • Made at least 2 deposits
  • Met an obligatory baseline amount of $/€12 with the total sum of his deposits within 30 days after the first deposit
  • Confirmed his ID (SSN/CNP/Etc)
  • Is not gambling addicted
  • Did not block his account

 

How is the Affiliate’s Hybrid profit calculated?

Hybrid profit is a mix of Revenue Share and CPA profits, so it is calculated based on their respective rules.

Negative Revenue Share part never affects CPA part of the Affiliate’s profit. So in case you have, for example, -$213.65 Revenue Share profit and $400 CPA profit, your total profit for the month will be $400.

Mini Tournaments

How does the mini tournament work?

The 10 Affiliates with the highest percentage of growth during the month will receive exclusive bonuses from PlayAttack. Please note that CPA traffic is not being considered within this mini-tournament.

To determine the 10 tournament winners, PlayAttack compares the percentage of the increase in the FTD sum of the specific Affiliate to their average FTD sum for the last 150 days.

For example, from January 1st to May 30th, the FTD sum of the Affiliate amounts to $7.500. In this case, the average FTD sum per day is equal to $7.500 / $150 = $50. 

Every 15 minutes the system counts the sum of the FTDs for the period from January 1st to the current moment and estimates the increase of the FTD sum by the following formula: 

The sum of the FTD sums x 100% / average FTD sum x number of days and minus 100% for this fraction.

For example, an affiliate had an $105 FTD sum on January 1st. As of January 1st, the increase in FTD sum for this affiliate will be calculated as follows: ($105 x 100% / $50 x 1 (day)) – 100% = 110%. 

On January 2nd the affiliate made, for example, a 135 euros FTD sum. The increase of the FTD sum will be calculated as follows: ($105 + $135) x 100% / $50 x 2 (days) – 100% = 140%. 

The statistics of the FTD sums for each affiliate account is updated every 15 minutes.
