Terms and Conditions

Tobet Partner Affiliate Program

For enrolment as an affiliate in the Tobet Partner Affiliate Program (the Program) you will need to register as an affiliate by completing the online form. By downloading a banner and placing it on your website/s, you are deemed to have agreed to be bound by all the terms and conditions set out in this agreement (the Agreement). This agreement details all the terms and conditions of membership to the Program, designed to reward website owners (the Affiliate or Affiliates) for directing new customers to the participating sports betting products, casino and skill games and poker merchants (the Merchants) through its Affiliate Program agent Nordic Gaming Ltd (we or Tobet).

1. Responsibilities of the Affiliate

1. As Affiliate you are responsible for promoting the Merchant by implementing the advertising, banners and tracking URL’s on your websites, e-mails or other communications.

2. You will present only approved content and topics on your site. Content that is deemed unsuitable by Tobet will result in the Agreement being terminated.

2. Affiliation Guidelines

1. Only approved and properly tagged creative materials, supplied by us from time to time, may be used to promote the Merchant. Advertorials and personal endorsements are allowed but all materials not designed by Tobet needs to be approved in writing; such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by us.

2. You may not modify any banners or other creative material supplied by us without the written prior consent of Tobet.

3. By agreeing to participate in the Program, you are agreeing to download banners, text or promotional material and place it on your site, utilize it within e-mail, direct marketing using your affiliate URL or print. These methods are by which you may advertise on the Merchants’ behalf.

4. Banners and links may not be placed within unsolicited e-mail, unauthorized newsgroup postings, or chat rooms or through the use of "bots". Traffic generated illegally will not be counted towards any revenue generated.

5. We will terminate this Agreement immediately if there is any form of spamming or if you discredit the Merchants or Tobet through false advertising, written or uttered words.

6. You shall not make any claims, representations, or warranties in connection with us or the Merchants and you shall have no authority to and shall not bind us or the Merchants to any obligations.

7. Without our prior written approval, you will only use our approved banners and links and will neither alter their appearance nor refer to us in any promotional materials. The appearance and syntax of the hypertext transfer links are designed and designated by us and constitute the only authorized and permitted representation of Merchants’ sites.

8. You will not knowingly benefit from known or suspected traffic not generated in good faith whether or not it actually causes Tobet or the Merchants damage. Should fraudulent activity arise through a person directed to a site via your link, we retain the right to retract the commissions paid to you at any time and terminate the affiliate account. Our decision in this regard will be final and no correspondence will be entered into. We reserve the right to retain all amounts due to you under this Agreement if we have reasonable cause to believe that such traffic has been caused with your knowledge. Even if you have not knowingly generated such traffic, we reserve the right to withhold referral fees with respect to such.

9. Affiliate must not alter form fields or scripts in Tobet supplied marketing materials which are designed to collect contact information from players, in an attempt to hijack such information for Affiliate or advertiser's own use.

3. Purchase Processing

 Only properly tagged customers can be assigned to an Affiliate. Should an Affiliate tag be improperly inserted into the Affiliate site or not properly received by Tobet server the resulting customer registration and purchases will not be assigned to the Affiliate. Therefore it is the responsibility of the Affiliate to ensure that all links are properly tagged.

4. Revenue Sharing & Payment

1. Tobet will pay out a monthly revenue share on the commissionable earnings generated by each customer, as defined by the Merchant.

2. Net revenue will be defined as gross gaming revenue minus the following:

·        Marketing costs such as deposits, bonuses, free spins, free bets, free money, game tickets

·        Charge backs (transactions which are reversed by instruction from the card-holder's bank)

·        15 % administration fee; included within the fee is as follows:
Jurisdictional licensing fees
Gaming platform licensing fees
Affiliate software licensing fees
Charges levied by electronic payment or credit card organizations
Monies paid in the form of gaming duties or taxes

3. Should a customer process a charge back, the disputed or charged-back revenue generated by yourself will be forfeited and therefore deducted from the total balance due to you for the current month. If this deduction of the accumulated revenue exceed your current amount due, your balance will then revert to a negative balance, and you will have to earn revenue to cover the charge-back before you can start earning revenue again.

4. Unlike with a customer making a big winning, which only lasts one month, a charge back will stay due till the revenue generated by your other customers has covered the amount due.

5. Complimentary money, free money and other incentives refer to those amounts credited to the account of customers. As they have not purchased these amounts we cannot pay commissions on these amounts.

3. Negative earnings are NOT carried forward and the Affiliate will begin each month on a zero balance. Should the Affiliate close the month with a positive balance, commissions will be paid on the positive balance. Should the Affiliate close the month with a negative balance, this balance will NOT be carried forward to the next month, unless the negative balance is a result of a charge-back.

5. Commissionable earnings will be earned for the life of the customer, on all transactions the customer undertakes at the Merchant, for as long as the Affiliate remains a member of this Program.

6. Payments are made to you 7 business days after the close of the preceding month. Payments are effected by Neteller, Moneybookers or bank wire. It is the responsibility of the Affiliate to select the method of payment and keep Tobet informed of current payment details.

7. We reserve the right to withhold payment from any Affiliate that violates any of the terms and conditions contained herein.

5. Cost Per Acquisition Terms

If you are enrolled in the Program on a Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) basis, the following terms apply:

1. Tobet will pay out an individually agreed upon CPA amount for acquired customers. The agreed amount will be confirmed in writing.

2. Acquired customers are determined as depositing players with the Merchants.

3. Should the player process a charge back, the disputed or charged-back revenue generated by the Affiliate will be forfeited and therefore the CPA amount cannot be paid to Affiliate.

4. Complimentary money, free money and other incentives refer to those amounts credited to the account of customers. As they have not purchased these amounts we cannot consider these amounts as deposits.

3. Tobet reserves the right to move CPA Affiliates into our revenue share program by giving the Affiliate a minimum of 30 days notice. Should the Affiliate not agree with this, the Affiliate may terminate the Agreement as set out in clause 10 of the Agreement.

6. Policies & Confidentiality

1. The Merchants assume ownership of the customer at point of first contact with the visitor. You, as the Affiliate, act as a referring agent for the Merchants.
