Hybrid Models
Hybrid deals (CPA + RevShare) account for approximately 45% of new iGaming agreements in Tier 1 markets. A typical structure is $75–$150 CPA + 15–25% RevShare.
Why Hybrid Deals Work:
-
For the affiliate: faster budget recovery through CPA and long-term recurring income through RevShare.
-
For the operator: a lower risk of overpaying for low-quality traffic and an incentive for the affiliate to bring in high-quality players.
N1 Partners provides data-driven support through daily analytics and expert recommendations, helping affiliates improve their strategies effectively.
Negative Carryover
Negative Carryover is a condition under which losses from one month are carried over to the next. If a player wins a large amount, the affiliate balance becomes negative, and the affiliate must offset that deficit before receiving new payouts. A program offering 40% RevShare with Negative Carryover may generate less income than one offering 35% without it.
N1 Partners has no Negative Carryover. Your balance resets every month. Top N1 Partners affiliates can access individual terms and flexible payment schedules upon request and with approval from their affiliate manager.
Factors That Affect Commission Rates
The following factors explain differences in commission rates:
-
Player LTV. Expected revenue from a player over 12 months sets the upper limit for CPA. Operators rarely pay CPA above 30–50% of expected LTV.
-
Payment mix. Markets with high processing fees or chargeback rates offer commissions that are 10–20% lower.
-
Traffic source. SEO traffic receives higher rates than PPC traffic.
-
Volume. Affiliates generating 50+ FTDs per month receive rates that are 15–30% higher.
