The nine criteria

01

Verified corporate identity

Registered company name, jurisdiction, registration number and beneficial ownership disclosed and matched against public registries.

02

Valid gambling licence chain

Every brand promoted through the programme holds a current licence from a recognised regulator, with licence numbers published on the brand site.

03

Transparent commission terms

Written terms covering commission model, bonus costs, chargebacks and any administrative fees, with 30 days' notice required for changes.

04

No negative carryover

Negative balances are reset monthly, or the exception is disclosed in plain language before the affiliate signs.

05

Documented payment schedule

A fixed payout date, at least two payment methods and a published minimum threshold. Median settlement within 15 days of month-end.

06

Accurate, auditable tracking

Postback and cookie policy documented, attribution window disclosed, and raw click or conversion logs provided on affiliate request.

07

Named affiliate manager

A reachable, named contact with a stated response-time commitment and a defined escalation path.

08

Responsible gambling compliance

Creative assets carry required age and responsible-gambling messaging; self-excluded player traffic is handled per regulator guidance.

Clean dispute record

No unresolved affiliate payment dispute older than 60 days at the time of review, and no confirmed shaving findings in the past 24 months.
