Playa Bets Affiliate Programme Terms and Conditions

The following agreement is between Playa Bets, referred to as " Playa Bets", "us" or "we", and you, referred to as "you" or “affiliate”, which contains the terms and conditions applicable to all approved affiliates of the programme ("Agreement").

1. Our Rights and Obligations

1.1 Customer Tracking

All Customer activity is tracked and audited by Playa Bets, using the affiliate tracking software of our choice. We reserve the right to refuse, close or limit customers’ accounts and activity as we see fit. All customers acquired by an affiliate are tracked and monitored with daily activity uploaded to their affiliate tracking software. This allows sufficient transparency between Playa Bets and affiliates.

1.2 Customer Qualification

All customers must qualify in accordance with South African legislation as well as Playa Bets terms. Immediate customer refusal will take place for underage players, those who already have accounts with Playa Bets, and players registering from outside of South Africa.

Further investigations may reveal additional reasons for non-qualification. Any non-qualifications can be queried with Playa Bets, but once a final decision has been made, no appeals will be entertained.

1.3 Commission Qualification

Playa Bets will pay a fixed commission initially, provided the affiliate continues to promote our offering. Should we feel that promotion of our product does not continue in the same manner, we reserve the right to adjust the commission paid, which will be effective from the date the change takes place. Proof of promotion may be requested by Playa Bets. Suspension or removal of efforts to promote Playa Bets can result in the affiliate’s commission being stopped.

1.4 Affiliate Program Application

Only approved affiliates will be enabled to run campaigns. Once you have completed the application process it will be moderated. Not all applications will receive feedback, and we reserve the right to contact affiliates at our discretion. All affiliates will be required to accept our terms and conditions prior to running any campaigns.

1.5 Acceptable Brand Use Policy

By agreeing to this affiliate program, you are committing to advertising Playa Bets within the grounds that we deem acceptable for our brand. Below is a list of circumstantial examples that would be considered to be in contravention of our policy.

1.5.1 Spam - Use of unsolicited and/or bombarding strategies which could cause harm to the Playa Bets brand.

1.5.2 Impersonation - Any form of perceived impersonation or assumption of exclusive or official partnership with Playa Bets.

1.5.3 Misleading Content - Any content using deceptive strategy, including but not limited to promise of profit, showing a lack of good faith, promoting betting both sides of a market, limiting risk to claim bonus, or deceptive linking using unapproved creative.

1.5.4 Affiliation - nothing official, with no use of trademarks accepted whatsoever

It is the affiliate’s responsibility to maintain the sites and channels they own. Any neglect that causes harm to the Playa Bets brand will result in possible account closure. If any affiliate is uncertain whether their marketing channels will contravene this policy, they should contact their relevant Playa Bets representative to confirm.

1.6 Prohibited Advertising Mediums

The intention of this program is to avoid cannibalism of specific marketing channels currently utilised by Playa Bets, but rather to expose the brand to channels and sites that otherwise would not be possible without this affiliate program. Explicit examples of prohibited channels for affiliates are:

Google AdWords - Any use of Playa Bets brand keywords, or related brand terms that could impact Playa Bets performance

Facebook - Imitation or use of Playa Bets brand is strictly prohibited.

Meta data - The use of metatag keywords using any of Playa Bets brand or its identity is not permitted.

Unsuitable Websites - any websites that Playa Bets deem unsuitable, including but not limited to content aimed at children, pornography or similar, promotion of violence, racism, sexism or illegal activities, offensive to any religion, nation, disability, sexual orientation, or in violation of any intellectual property or breach of any industry advertising codes and practices.

Any traffic redirected from the above channels to Playa Bets will be considered an immediate contravention of our terms and conditions and the relevant affiliate account will be disabled. If you intend to do this, express written permission will need to be obtained from a relevant Playa Bets employee before commencement. Over and above these examples, we reserve the right to terminate any affiliate agreement that we deem to be in conflict of this policy without warning and effective immediately.

1.7 Sub-affiliates

Unless express, written confirmation has been obtained from a Playa Bets representative, no affiliates shall be entitled to offer any other affiliate or additional parties’ access to run campaigns associated with Playa Bets. This program does not grant any affiliate exclusive rights to promote Playa Bets whatsoever, and unless expressly authorised, no benefit from any additional business gained will be owed to the affiliate.

Duplicate accounts and self-referrals are strictly prohibited. Immediate account termination will be enforced in these cases.

Sub-affiliate agreements need to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Please consult your Playa Bets representative for more information.

1.8 Minimum Sign Up Requirement

Should you not refer any funded signups for three consecutive months, your commission rate may be adjusted to 5%.

To revert to the default commission, simply introduce a total of 10 funded signups within the subsequent three months.

Failure to achieve 10 funded signups over a six-month period may result in a reduction of your commission to 0% and the closure of your affiliate account due to inactivity.

1.9 Use Of Approved Creative

In order to maintain Playa Bets brand equity, no creative (banners, html mailers, editorial columns, images and logos) may be edited or altered in any way. Should there be creative that isn’t available that you would like, please consult your Playa Bets representative.

1.10 Confidentiality And Data Protection

By accepting the terms of this agreement, agree to avoid disclosure or unauthorised use of any confidential information relating to our business, operations, or underlying technology and/or the Affiliate programme (including, for example, Referral Commissions earned by you under the Affiliate programme). This includes the protection of any data used in the promotion of Playa Bets, as well as the potential customers marketed to as part of the affiliate program.

Playa Bets has the right to request any proof of opt-in and/or consent relating to databases or users that receive marketing from the affiliate program, in order to ensure any of the prohibitions in clause 1.5 are being adhered to. Any unauthorised use of such confidential information to third persons or outside parties unless you have our prior written consent constitutes grounds for termination. Any costs and damages associated with violation of this will be for the affiliate’s account.

2. Affiliate Commission

2.1 Revenue Share Commission

Commission owing to an affiliate is calculated as a percentage on the net profit of the referred customer. Net profit is defined as all gross monies received by Playa Bets from settled bets, less:

- Any winnings paid out

- Betting taxes

- Applicable VAT or imposed taxes

- Bad debts or fraud

- Returned stakes

- Bank charges exceeding local transaction fees (mostly related to international transfers)

- Voids

- Charge-backs

- Bonuses

- Platform fees

Any positive commission balances owed at the end of the month will be paid, providing a minimum of 1 first time depositor have been referred in a month and the net amount owing exceeds R500. For international affiliates, the threshold is either 1000 ZAR. If there are cases where the threshold needs to be lower, these payments will need to be approved by Playa Bets.

Payment Dates:
Local Affiliates will be paid on or the closes working day to the 10th of the following month.
International Affiliatres will be paid on or the closes working day to the 20th of the following month.

2.2 Payment Method

Affiliates are eligible to be paid through any of the various methods below and will need to send an invoice to Playa Bets which can be generated from within the affiliate platform:

- A nominated Playa Bets account - this is the recommended method, ensuring the fast payout and option to withdraw.

- Bank transfer - please be aware that charges apply and are dictated by the affiliate’s bank account.

Foreign currency calculations will be made using the exchange rate at the time of processing the transaction less all applicable fees, including fixed banking fees to facilitate international payments.

South African affiliates have the option to use an operator account and withdraw via our website, or make use of standard local payment methods like EFT. Due to high transfer fees, international affiliates will need to reach the minimum threshold disclosed in 2.1 before we can release payment.

Any payments require an invoice to be made out to below before that can be released for payment:

2.3 Default Referral Commission Structure

Upon registration, you will be placed on this Default Referral Commission Structure and subject to other sections of this Agreement relevant to Referral Commission, you will earn a Referral Commission based on the tier you fit into (using the below table) determined by the number of First Time Deposits (“FTDs”) in a month. For the purposes of clarity, you can move between the different tiers on a month-to-month basis based on the number of FTDs in each particular month. You will earn the applicable commission percentage based on the Net Profit we earn each month from Customers directed from your website after they open an account with us and wager for money on any of the Playa Bets Websites.

Commission %

20% (5 - 100 Funded Sign-ups)

25% (101 - 500 Funded Sign-ups)

30% (501 - 100 Funded Sign-ups)

35% (1000+ Funded Sign-ups)

If the overall Net Profit is negative in a particular month, this will result in a negative Referral Commission for that month which will not be deducted from any positive Referral Commissions as and when available.

2.4 Negative Carry-Over

2.4.1 Unless otherwise agreed to by Playa Bets in writing, in the event that the total Net Revenue from your referred New Customers is negative for a given calendar month, the negative balance will be carried over from month to month, until a positive balance is achieved (i.e., until such time as the negative balance has been fully set-off against future positive amounts generated by your New Customer referral activity) ("Negative Carry Over Policy").

2.4.2 In the event that you are not eligible for an Affiliate Commissions payment or you are Inactive Affiliate, and you carry over a positive total Net Revenue amount for a given month, any negative total Net Revenue from the following calendar month shall be offset against the positive total Net Revenue carried over from the previous month.

2.4.3 In the event that you are paid Commissions based on Net Revenue and we agree in writing that Sections 15.1 and 15.2 will not apply to you the following shall apply: in the event that the total Net Revenue generated by any High Roller is negative for a given calendar month, the negative balance will be carried over from month to month, until a positive balance is achieved (i.e., until such time as the negative balance has been fully set-off against future positive amounts generated by such High Roller) ("High Roller Policy"). Playa Bets may at any time notify you that the High Roller Policy shall no longer apply and in such instance the Negative Carry Over Policy and Sections 15.1 and 15.2 shall automatically apply which includes without limitation to any negative balance of a High Roller at such time.

2.5 Termination and Consequence

Any affiliates terminated will be required to remove all presence of Playa Bets from their properties. Termination may take place, by either party, with or without reason. Notification of termination via email is considered written and with immediate effect. Termination could occur for various reasons, not limited to those already mentioned.

All approved affiliates will be assumed to have viewed and accepted all terms and conditions within this agreement.

2.6 Disclaimer
