Affiliate Guide
Last updated 2026-10-31
This guide explains how affiliate commission is worked out. It goes with the Partner & Affiliate Terms; where your written agreement differs, it wins. Your portal shows your income already worked out: this page is here so the numbers behind it are always open to you.
1. How your commission works
We combine the results of all real players referred through your link. Player winnings offset player losses: commission is based on the net result, not on each losing bet separately. This is an accounting offset, not a guaranteed average return.
From 19 October 2026 (UTC), the house retains 50% of positive revenue remaining after carried losses as an operating-cost allocation. The other 50% is your commissionable revenue, and your agreed commission percentage is applied to it. For example, a 20% commission rate pays you 20% of that portion.
2. From play to earnings
- House gaming revenue: your referred players' total wagers minus their payouts, including returned stakes.
- Revenue basis: on an NGR agreement, free credits are deducted. On a GGR agreement, they are not. Your basis and commission rate are shown in your portal under Profile.
- Carried losses: negative balances from earlier days are recovered in full before any allocation or commission.
- Operating-cost allocation: 50% of the remaining positive amount is allocated to the house. No allocation is charged on a negative result.
- Commission: the remaining commissionable revenue multiplied by your agreed rate, rounded down to the nearest cent.
Settlement runs daily after midnight UTC. Today's earnings are an estimate until settlement. The allocation is rounded down to the nearest cent; earnings settled before 19 October 2026 are not recalculated.
3. Example: a positive day
Illustrative amounts in USDT, using a 20% commission rate and no free credits or carried losses:
| Calculation | USDT |
|---|---|
| Referred players' wagers | 10,000.00 |
| Player payouts | −8,000.00 |
| Net house gaming revenue | 2,000.00 |
| Operating-cost allocation · 50% | −1,000.00 |
| Commissionable revenue | 1,000.00 |
| Your commission · 20% | 200.00 |
4. Example: recovering a losing day
Day 1 ends at −400 USDT after the applicable revenue-basis deductions. Commission and allocation are both zero; the full 400 USDT loss carries forward.
Day 2 earns 1,000 USDT on the same basis. Recovering the carried loss leaves 600 USDT. The 50% allocation is 300 USDT, leaving 300 USDT commissionable revenue. At a 20% rate, your commission is 60 USDT.
If a loss remains, it continues forward. Individual player losses and carried losses are not halved.
5. Your portal
- Your income is shown after the allocation: the amount you earn, nothing to work out.
- Visitors, sign-ups and deposits show actual recorded activity. Deposits are wallet funding, not gaming revenue. House bots never count.
- Available balance is your settled earnings after paid and pending withdrawals and any recorded adjustments. Your minimum withdrawal and each request's status are under Payouts.
- Questions about a day's income? Contact the RUN OR BUST team with the date and we will explain the calculation.
This guide covers affiliate accounts. Whole-house partner and investor agreements are separate and are not subject to the allocation above.
