You must notify us of any changes to the contact details and/or company details by providing this information to affiliates@parimatch.co.ukWe will suspend your Affiliate Account if you fail to notify us of these things. We may require further KYC documentation when you update your details and we reserve the right to close your Affiliate Account if you fail to provide that documentation.

 

You will earn a Referral Commission which will be calculated at the end of each month whilst you are a member of the Affiliate Programme. We will only pay you Referral Commission if you meet the criteria stated by this Clause and when you have legitimately generated it. We pay you your Referral Commission once a month.

‘Net Gaming Revenue’ (NGR) means all gross monies which we receive from Customers’ settled bets after deducting taxes, processing fees and cash bonuses.

‘Target Product’ means the Product you have agreed to promote whilst you are a member of the Affiliate Programme. Your Target Product will either be i) Sports, or ii) Casino. We will pay you the Referral Commission when you generate NGR from both your Target Product and Secondary Products. 

You are only entitled to Referral Commission when:

1. your Affiliate Account is active (in accordance with Clause 4);
2. your Affiliate Account has a positive balance at the end of any given calendar month, and
3. the Referral Commission generated from the current month minus the Negative Carryover (as defined in 3.2 below) from prior months exceeds the Minimum Payment Threshold.

 

The Minimum Payment Threshold is:

1. £500 (or equivalent local currency) for UK or international bank transfer;
2. £50 (or equivalent local currency) for Skrill, Neteller and a Parimatch player account.

All equivalent amounts in currencies other than Pound Sterling will be calculated using our internal exchange rates as applicable in the relevant month.

Referral Commission is payable after the end of the calendar month for an active verified account, with earnings above threshold for the chosen payment method. If you meet these criteria, the % of monthly NGR which we pay you as Referral Commission is calculated as follows:

Product	% of Monthly NGR from Target Product paid as Referral Commission	% of Monthly NGR from Secondary Products paid as Referral Commission
Sports	30	15
Casino	30	15

From time to time, we may change how we calculate Referral Commission and will give you as much notice as is reasonably practicable when we do this. Please note that our calculations of the Referral Commission are final.

 

We will carry forward negative balances in your Affiliate Account and set these off against future Referral Commission. You are only entitled to Referral Commission when your Affiliate Account has a positive balance at the end of any given calendar month.

 

You will be paid Referral Commission by Neteller, Skrill, bank transfer or by transfer to your player account. For the avoidance of doubt, you are not entitled to earn Referral Commission from your own betting activity.. Please be aware that although Parimatch will not deduct any charges for arranging a bank wire, your own bank may choose to levy a charge on such transactions.

 

 

All Referral Commission Payments will be due and paid in the currency agreed with you (which shall be either Euros, Pound Sterling or United States Dollars). Commission is calculated in Pound Sterling. Where currency conversion is required, all amounts are converted using our internal exchange rates.  Payments made by Neteller or bank transfer are processed in Pound Sterling and may be subject to bank fees and exchange rates. We define currency exchange rates at the start of each calendar month and a copy of our current exchange rates is available on request. Referral Commission generated from referring Customers who hold accounts in currencies other than Pound Sterling will be converted using our internal exchange rates.

 

We will not pay you Referral Commission when:

1. the player is already a Customer;
2. we have reason to believe that the Customer has been, or are, involved in arbitrage;
3. your actions cause us to be fined or penalized;
4. your balance is a negative amount at the end of any given month or below threshold for the chosen payment method.;
5. we find that the Customer has committed fraud or we suspect that the Customer has committed fraud.

The above will be determined by us in our sole discretion and our decision is final. Your Referral Commission may also be reduced or suspended if you reduce the promotion of our brand.

 

The term of this Agreement will begin when you are approved with an active Affiliate Account and will continue unless and until the Agreement is terminated.

Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time on forty-eight (48) hours’ notice for convenience, with or without reason. For purposes of notification of termination, delivery via e-mail is considered a written and immediate form of notification.

We may also terminate immediately this Agreement for cause if you: (i) breach any of the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to your obligations in section 2; (ii) are reasonably suspected by us of fraud; (iii) have an inactive Affiliate Account; or (iv) use any websites which mislead potential Customers, (v) breach of IGRG, marketing breach. Such termination will take effect immediately. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be eligible to receive the Referral Commission after the date of termination of this Agreement and no further payments will be made to you.
