B. Poker Gross Revenue Share Plan:

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 Users have received on the basis of percentages in the table below:

Month Poker Gross Revenue Share percentage Poker Side games revenue share percentage
1st month 60% 25%
2nd month 50% 25%
3rd month 45% 25%
4th month and after 35% 20%

*When choosing the Poker Gross Revenue Share model, revenue share will be calculated as follows: 10% of the amount of Casino bets placed by Users in the relevant calendar month less the Casino winnings.

Please note the following with regard to the Revenue Share plan:

*** Minimum Activity Qualification. Your Revenue Commission will decrease to a rate of 12.5% following 3 months of Affiliate Inactivity. Please note that in the event that you will not direct any Qualifying Users to any Site for the period of 3 months and be considered as an inactive Affiliate, this definition will apply to you from that moment on (even if you direct new Qualifying Users to any Site) and therefore the Revenue Commission described in the table above will not apply to you.

***  In the event that you: (i) do not show the most updated links provided by us, on all of your websites’ pages according to the shape and location as agreed by the parties to this Agreement; or (ii) change the type, location, or suggestion on links without prior notice and our written approval; or (iii) reduced your efforts to recruit new Users; it will be considered as non-compliance with the terms of this Agreement and We reserve the right to modify the Revenue Commission rates immediately and without any prior notice.

Please note the following with regard to the CPA payment plan:

                            1. In any event of a Chargeback, Credit or freezing of any account, such a User will not be considered for the purpose of the CPA plan, and any CPA Payment made to you in respect of such User shall be deducted from future payments to you.
                            1. A CPA Payment will be due and payable to you in respect of a Qualifying User only upon the first registration of such User in one of the Sites and the depositing of the minimum required amount specified in the CPA tables above and meets the minimum stake requirements, as agreed upon in writing with your affiliate manager. Any subsequent activities of such User in that Site or in other Sites, including playing different games in that Site or in other Sites (for example, playing Poker after Casino games), will not entail any payment to you. A CPA Payment will be paid to you only once for each Qualifying User, regardless of the number of Sites and/or number or type of games played by that User.

Final and Binding Data and Calculations

All calculations in connection with the amount payable to you, whether under the Revenue Share or the CPA payment plans, will be made by us and based solely on our systems’ data and records, and our calculations will be final and binding. As part of the monthly payments process, We will carry out a data reconciliation process to ensure data accuracy and correct billing for the previous month. This process may take up to 7 business days and may include without limitation: a) the detection of Fraudulent User activity that will be excluded from the Affiliate’s payment; and b) failed transactions that will be credited to the Affiliate’s account. We shall begin the reconciliation process at the start of every calendar month.

Change of Payment Plan

We reserve the right to change your chosen payment plan upon notice to you. Any such change will take effect only from the date of such notice.

Business by Other Persons

You shall have no claims to Revenue Commission, CPA Payment or other compensation on business secured by or through persons or entities other than yourself.

Your Losses as a User

If you are also a User in one of the Sites, We reserve the right not to include your losses or rakes as a User in the Revenue Commission due to you.

Exit Traffic

Exit Traffic will be considered as regular traffic for the purpose of calculating your Revenue Commission (if applicable).

Payment Procedure

We will send you every month a statement of account showing any balance due to you, if any, and if We will not receive any comments as to the correctness of the statement within two weeks, the statement of account will be deemed to have been accepted and agreed by you. You will be paid on a monthly basis, provided the amount payable to you is not less than $250 for payment Via Wire Transfer or $5 for payment via alternative payment methods. If this minimum amount is not reached in a particular month, We will be entitled to withhold payment and carry the amount due to you to the next calendar month and so on, until the minimum amount is reached. All payments will be due and paid in Euro or in any other currency in our discretion.

We will transfer funds only to the designated account appearing in your application form. Third party wire transfer is prohibited by us.

Taxes and Other Charges

You are fully responsible for all taxes, fees and other costs incidental to and arising from any payments made to you under this Agreement, including without limitation any processing fees. You will indemnify and reimburse us for any costs, expenses or losses that may be caused to us 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 We may be subject in connection with making payments to you. We will be entitled to withhold or set-off any such amounts from the payments made to you.

Processing Fees

The credit card processing fees applicable to Users, as well as other processing fees if any will be applicable in the future, will be deducted from the Casino Net Gaming, Games Net Gaming, Poker Net Gaming, Poker Gross Revenue, Bingo Net Gaming and Sportsbook Net Gaming, as applicable, from which your Revenue Commission is derived. Credit card current processing fees are 4%-6% of all credit card Deposits. Checks, wire transfer and Western Union payments do not presently charge any processing fees. Such fees, however, are subject to change at any time.

Security Reserve

A rolling security reserve of 8% of all amounts due to you 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 you to us pursuant to this Agreement, such as in connection with Fraud, Chargebacks, Credits, etc.

Chargebacks and Credits

50 per-cent of all Chargeback and Credit amounts would be deducted from your 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 us. If a Chargeback or Credit occurs during the fee payment-processing period (usually 12 business days), We reserve the right to deduct such amounts and the associated fees from the amounts due to you under the Revenue Share plan. Any Chargeback or Credit to a User in respect of which you have chosen the CPA payment plan will disqualify such User and you will not be entitled to any payment with respect to such User.

Right to Withhold Amounts

We reserve the right to withhold all amounts due and payable to you under this Agreement if We believe that any Fraud has taken place or is contemplated which involves you, whether or not the withheld amounts relate to the event in question. If We believe that a Fraud has taken place or is contemplated by any User without your knowledge, We will be entitled to withhold any amounts due to you in connection with such Fraud. We will also be entitled, in the foregoing events, to set-off from future amounts payable to you any amounts already received by you which can be shown to have been generated by Fraud.

We do not support nor give hand to any kind of content stealing or copying (site scraping), and We reserve the right to close your account with us if you will be proven to use such methods, and/or to transfer the amounts payable to you to the original content creator.

We reserve the right to delay or withhold payments if any supporting documents are not provided to us upon request.

If We determine, in our sole discretion, that you have engaged in any activity forbidden in this Agreement, including without limitation activity that involves Excluded Territories, or that you have otherwise breached any of your representations, warranties or undertakings in this Agreement, We may (without limiting any other rights or remedies available to us) withhold any amounts due and payable to you hereunder, whether or not generated by such forbidden activity or breach.

Negative Balance Carry-Over (NCO)

A negative balance in your affiliate account with us is relevant only to the Casino Revenue Share payment plan, and means that the total of all bets generated on your Trackers is less than the total of all winnings plus bonuses generated on your Trackers (i.e., your Casino Net Revenue is negative).

NetHive 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 your affiliate account will be carried over to subsequent months and will be set-off against the payments due to you in the subsequent months, until the full negative balance is thus set-off. In order to be qualified to the “grace period”, affiliate must have a minimum of 20 qualifying Users on a monthly basis during the grace period unless an alternative NNCO policy has been specifically agreed with an affiliate account manager in advance.

Sub-Affiliates

Any person who was introduced to us by you and joins the NetHive Affiliate Program as an affiliate thereof, by submitting to us the standard application form through the Sub-Affiliate link on the NetHive Affiliate Program site, will be considered to be your Sub-Affiliate and tracked as such. Any Sub-Affiliate will be treated as a regular affiliate in the NetHive Affiliate Program and will be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and you will be liable to us, jointly and severally with any Sub-Affiliate, for the performance of such Sub-Affiliate’s obligations under the Agreement.

To reward you for your Sub-Affiliates and to incentivise you to obtain additional Sub-Affiliates, in addition to paying the Sub-Affiliate (as an affiliate of ours) the commissions set forth in this Agreement, We will also pay you an additional commission in respect of the payments made to the Sub-Affiliate, as set forth in the table below.

Levels in Relation to You *

1st Tier – 2.0% Commission

2nd Tier – 1.5% Commission

3rd Tier – 1.0% Commission

* All of your Sub-Affiliates are our affiliates and, as such, will be entitled to payments according to one of the payment plans described above. Being our affiliates who are party to this Agreement, they will also be entitled to introduce to us their own Sub-Affiliates, each of whom will automatically also be considered as your indirect Sub-Affiliate. As a result, you may have “under you” a chain of Sub-Affiliates, each constituting a certain “Tier” in relation to you. The commission table above shows the percentage you will be entitled to receive from us of the payments made by us to the relevant Sub-Affiliate. For example, if a User uses any of the Sites through a 3rd Tier Sub-Affiliate of yours (i.e. the User enters the Site through the unique link given by us to such Sub-Affiliate as an affiliate of ours), We will pay you, in addition to the payments made by us to that Sub-Affiliate in accordance with the applicable payment plan, a commission of 1% of all such payments.
