The Revenue Share model is split into 2 components: A revenue share derived from the Online Gaming Products, and a revenue share derived from the Sportsbook, the calculation of each of which is described below.
The total Revenue Share payable to the Affiliate shall be the sum of both components of the Revenue Share model.
For the avoidance of doubt, each component of the Revenue Share model may be calculated to be a negative figure. However, if the sum of both such components results in a negative number, the Affiliate's total Revenue Share for the relevant calendar month shall be zero, and no 'reverse' payment shall be due from the Affiliate to the Operator.
(i) Online Gaming Products (Except in relation to www.willliamhill.it) The Operator offers a revenue share model across all of its Online Gaming Products. This is a cumulative model based on the number of new Players referred per calendar month in relation to the Online Gaming Products.
Revenue Share Plan Table
Accumulated Number of new unique depositing Players across All Online Gaming Products per calendar month Revenue Share payable as percentage of Net Gaming Revenue 0 12.5%* 1-6 25% 7-20 30% 21-100 35% 101-300 40% 301 + 45%
* Note that the percentage of Net Gaming Revenue for 0 new Players will only be payable where the Affiliate has, in any previous calendar month, introduced one or more unique depositing Players. As such, an Affiliate will continue to receive the minimum Revenue Share in respect of previously-introduced Players for such time as those Players continue to bet, or play, on the relevant Site.
For the purposes of the table above, "Net Gaming Revenue" shall mean Poker Net Revenue, Casino Net Revenue or Bingo Net Revenue, as appropriate.

(iii) Sportsbook The Operator offers a revenue share model across all of its Sportsbook. This is a cumulative model based on the number of new Players referred per calendar month in relation to the Sportsbook.

C. 10 Tier Programme (Sub-Affiliates) - Payment Plan & Commission Structure
Any person or entity that is introduced to the AUAP by the Affiliate, and joins the AUAP as an Affiliate by submitting to the Operator the standard application form through the Sub-Affiliate link on the AUAP site (from such time that the same is made available) will be considered to be the Affiliate's Sub-Affiliate and tracked as such. Any Sub-Affiliate will be treated as a regular Affiliate in the AUAP and will be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Affiliate will be liable to the Operator, jointly with any Sub-Affiliate, for the performance of that Sub-Affiliate's obligations under this Agreement.
To reward the Affiliate for obtaining Sub-Affiliates and to incentivise the Affiliate to obtain additional Sub-Affiliates, in addition to paying the Sub-Affiliate (as an Affiliate of the Operator) the commissions set forth in this Agreement, the Operator will also pay the Affiliate an additional commission in respect of the payments made to the Sub-Affiliate, as set out in the table below.
Revenue Levels (Webmasters) Referral Bonus Level 1st Tier 2.0% 2nd Tier 1.5% 3rd Tier 1.0% 4th Tier 0.8% 5th Tier 0.1% 6th Tier 0.1% 7th Tier 0.1% 8th Tier 0.1% 9th Tier 0.1% 10th Tier 0.1%
All of the Affiliate's Sub-Affiliates are the Operator's Affiliates and, as such, will be entitled to payments according to one of the Payment Plans described in sections A - B above. Being the Operator's Affiliates who are party to this Agreement, they will also be entitled to introduce to the Operator their own Sub-Affiliates, each of whom will automatically also be considered as the Affiliate's indirect Sub-Affiliate. As a result, the Affiliate may have "under it" a chain of Sub-Affiliates, each constituting a certain "Tier" in relation to it. The commission table above shows the percentage the Affiliate will be entitled to receive from the payments made by the Operator to the relevant Sub-Affiliate.
D. Poker Gross Revenue Share
The Poker Gross Revenue Share Model* is based on the following calculation: A percentage share of the Poker Gross Revenue with subsequent deduction of any Poker bonuses Players have received on the basis of percentages in the table below:
Month Revenue Share payable as percentage of Poker Gross Revenue 1 80% 2 65% 3 60% 4 onward 45%
*When choosing the Poker Gross Revenue Share model, Poker Side Games revenue share will be calculated as follows: 10% of the amount of Casino bets placed by Players in the relevant calendar month less the Casino winnings.
6.2	Final and Binding Data and Calculations
All calculations in connection with the amount payable to the Affiliate, whether under the Revenue Share or the CPA Payment Plans, will be made by the Operator and based solely on its systems' data and records, and its calculations will be final and binding.
6.3	Change of Payment Plan
The Operator reserves the right to change the Affiliate's chosen Payment Plan upon notice to the Affiliate. Any such change will take effect from the date of such notice.
6.4	Business by Other Persons
You shall have no claims to Revenue Share, CPA Payment or other compensation on business secured by or through persons or entities other than yourself.
6.5	The Affiliate's Losses as a Player
If the Affiliate is also a Player in one of the Sites, the Operator reserves the right to exclude the Affiliates losses or rakes as a Player in the Revenue Share due to the Affiliate.
6.6	Exit Traffic
Exit Traffic will be considered as regular traffic for the purpose of calculating the Affiliate's Revenue Share (if applicable). If the Affiliate does not wish to have an exit window, its should send a request by email to either its Affiliate account manager or to support@affiliatesunited.com to have this exit removed.
6.7	Payment Procedure
At the end of every calendar month, the Operator will send the Affiliate a statement of account showing any balance due to the Affiliate (if any). Such statement of account will be deemed to have been accepted and agreed by the Affiliate if the Operator does not receive any comments as to the accuracy of the statement within two weeks of the date of such statement.
The Affiliate will be paid its relevant payment under its Payment Plan on a calendar monthly basis, provided the amount payable to the Affiliate is not less than US$5 (or equivalent amount in the relevant currency) where the Affiliate is using a MoneyBookers, Web Money or Neteller system and/or not less than US$200 (or equivalent amount in the relevant currency) where the Affiliate is paid by wire transfer. If these minimum amounts are not reached in a particular calendar month, the Operator will be entitled to withhold payment and carry the amount due to the Affiliate to the next calendar month and so on, until the minimum amounts are reached. All payments will be due and paid in Euros or in any other currency at the Operator's discretion.
The Operator will transfer funds only to the designated account detailed on the Affiliates application form. Third party wire transfers are prohibited by the Operator.
6.8	Taxes and Other Charges
The Affiliate is fully responsible for all taxes, fees and other costs incidental to and arising from any payments made to it under this Agreement, including without limitation any processing fees. The Affiliate will indemnify and reimburse the Operator for any costs, expenses or losses that may be caused to it as a result of any claim or demand made by any governmental or other authority, with regard to tax withholding obligations or similar obligations to which the Operator may be subject in connection with making payments to the Affiliate. The Operator will be entitled to withhold or set-off any such amounts from the payments made to the Affiliate.
6.9	Processing Fees
The credit card processing fees applicable to Players, as well as other processing fees as may from time to time be be applicable in the future, will be deducted from the Casino Net Revenue, Poker Net Revenue, Poker Gross Revenue or Bingo Net Revenue, as applicable, from which the Affiliates Revenue Commission is derived. Current credit card processing fees are 4%-6% of all credit card Deposits. Cheques, wire transfers and Western Union payments do not presently carry a charge or any processing fees. Such fees, however, are subject to change at any time.
6.10	Security Reserve
A rolling security reserve of 8% of all amounts due to the Affiliate may be withheld for up to 6 months from the payment due date. The security reserve will serve to guarantee any debt or liability from the Affiliate to the Operator pursuant to this Agreement, such as in connection with Fraud, Chargebacks, Credits, etc.
6.11	Chargebacks and Credits
Fifty percent of all Chargeback and Credit amounts shall be deducted from the Affiliates payment or the reserved funds. Chargeback and Credit fees will be paid to the credit card companies or other payment service providers, as applicable, and will be administered by the Operator. If a Chargeback or Credit occurs during the fee payment-processing period (usually 12 business days), the Operator reserves the right to deduct such amounts and the associated fees from the amounts due to the Affiliate under the Revenue Share plan. Any Chargeback or Credit to a Player in respect of which the Affiliate has chosen the CPA payment plan will disqualify such Player and the Affiliate will not be entitled to any payment with respect to such Player.
6.12	Right to Withhold Amounts
6.12.1	The Operator reserves the right to withhold all amounts due and payable to the Affiliate under this Agreement if it believes that any Fraud has taken place or is contemplated which involves the Affiliate, whether or not the withheld amounts relate to the event in question. If the Operator believes that a Fraud has taken place or is contemplated by any Player without the Affiliates knowledge, it will be entitled to withhold any amounts due to the Affiliate in connection with such Fraud. The Operator will also be entitled, in the foregoing events, to set-off from future amounts payable to the Affiliate any amounts already received by the Affiliate which can be shown to have been generated by Fraud.
6.12.2	The Operator does not support any kind of content stealing or copying (site scraping) or any breach of any intellectual property rights, and it reserves the right to suspend and if necessary terminate the Affiliate's account with it, if it is proven that the Affiliate is responsible for using such methods, and/or to transfer the amounts payable to the Affiliate to the original content creator.
6.12.3	The Operator reserves the right to delay or withhold payments if any supporting documents relating to the payments to be made to the Affiliate and/or those referred to in clause 5.2 of this Agreement are not promptly provided to it upon request.
6.12.4	If the Operator determines, at its sole discretion, that the Affiliate has engaged in any activity forbidden in this Agreement, including without limitation activity that involves Excluded Territories, or that the Affiliate has otherwise breached any of its representations, warranties or undertakings in this Agreement, the Operator may (without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to it) withhold any amounts due and payable to the Affiliate hereunder, whether or not generated by such forbidden activity or breach and further suspend or terminate the Affiliates account at its discretion.
6.13	Negative Balance Carry-Over
6.13.1	A negative balance in the Affiliate's Affiliate account with the Operator is relevant only to the Casino Revenue Share payment plan and Sportsbook Revenue (when available), and means that the total of all bets generated on the Affiliate's Trackers is less than the total of all winnings plus bonuses generated on the Affiliate's Trackers (i.e. the Affiliate's Casino Net Revenue is negative).
6.13.2	The Operator has a negative carry-over policy, meaning that from the third month of this Agreement (after a two-month "grace period"), any negative balance in the Affiliate's Affiliate account will be carried over to subsequent months and will be set-off against the payments due to the Affiliate in the subsequent months, until the full negative balance is thus set-off.
6.13.3	However, the Operator offers the Affiliate the option to avoid any carry-overs to subsequent months, by the Affiliate either requesting in the comment box a "no negative carry-over account" when it signs up as a new Affiliate, or, if it is an existing Affiliate and its balance is not negative, by it contacting the Operator and requesting a "no negative carry-over account". If the Affiliate chooses the no negative carry-over option, the percentage of its Revenue Share will be 5% lower than the respective percentages shown in Table A above.
6.13.4	Please note that the no negative carry-over option is available for active Affiliates only, and the Operator is entitled to cancel such policy with respect to any affiliate that does not bring any traffic on his or her Trackers for over 3 months.
7.	TERM AND TERMINATION

7.2.4	Any continued access and use by Players of any of the Sites following the termination of this Agreement (if any) shall not constitute continuation or renewal of this Agreement or a waiver of its termination.

7.2.5	Notwithstanding deemed termination pursuant to clause 7.1.3.7, any account unused for withdrawals, or otherwise inactive, for a period of at least thirty six (36) consecutive months will be an "Inactive Account".
