Crypto casino affiliate program: commission is the product, not the game

A crypto casino affiliate program pays you for sending players, usually as a flat fee when they qualify, a share of the operator's gaming margin, or a mix. The percentage and the trigger are in that contract. They are not on this page. The player still faces the game's price. If you endorse the casino and get paid, US advertising guides say you disclose that connection.

Part of our Foundations series. New to the topic? Start with What is a crypto casino?.

Two contracts, and neither is a tip

You have a contract with the operator. The player has a contract with the operator. Your commission is the operator paying you out of its margin for the introduction. It is not evidence that the player has an edge, and it is not wages for their session.

CPA is a fee for a qualified action. Read the qualifying action. A click is not a deposit. A deposit below the threshold is not a qualification. Revenue share is a percentage of a defined net figure. Read whether bonuses, chargebacks, and payment costs come off before your percentage. If the definition of "net" is missing, you do not have a rate yet.

This sits in Foundations. What a crypto casino is is the product the player is funding. House edge is the price they face after they arrive.

Negative carry, brand bidding, and the cookie

Negative carry, sometimes called negative balance, means a month in which referred players win can leave you owing the program, or can wipe the next month's commission, if the contract says so. Some contracts reset to zero. Those are different deals. Copy the sentence. Do not assume a reset.

Brand bidding is the rule about buying ads on the casino's own name. Many programs void commission if you do it. The cookie window is how long a click still counts. Both numbers belong in the contract. This page leaves them blank on purpose.

A casino referral bonus is the smaller, often two-sided version of the same idea. Do not paste an affiliate rate into a friend-bonus conversation.

Say that you are paid

US Federal Trade Commission guides, at 16 CFR 255.5, say a connection that could affect how much people trust an endorsement has to be disclosed clearly and conspicuously when the audience would not expect it. An affiliate payment is that kind of connection. The Commission's own examples include a reviewer who earns a portion of the sale through a link.

The plain-language FAQ says "affiliate link" by itself may not tell a reader that you are paid, and that "paid link" next to the link should be enough to disclose the nature of that link. Put the disclosure where the recommendation is, not in a footer the reader never reaches.

A disclosure does not make the casino fair. It tells the reader why you mentioned it. Fake casino sites is the separate check.

No rate on this page

PVPspinArena's terms describe game fees and the cashier. They do not set an affiliate commission. If a partner arrangement exists somewhere else, the figure on that arrangement is the figure. Do not invent one from a screenshot.

Adults only. Sending people to gamble is not a neutral hobby. Responsible gambling applies to the player you referred, including when your invoice depends on them continuing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

CPA is a fixed fee for a qualifying action. Revenue share is a percentage of a defined net gaming figure from the players you referred. The contract can use one, the other, or both.

No. Commission is how the operator pays the introducer. The player's price is the game's edge, fees, and any bonus terms.

A contract term under which players' wins can reduce or erase your commission. Some deals reset the balance to zero instead. Read which one you signed.

If you endorse the casino and a payment could affect how readers weigh that endorsement, US endorsement guides say you disclose the connection clearly. A buried or vague label is a weak disclosure.

No. The public terms do not quote one.
