Partner & Affiliate Program: Commission Structure & Operations Guide

The digital entertainment and sports wagering industry presents significant opportunities for digital entrepreneurs, content creators, community managers, and marketing professionals in Bangladesh. The Rajabaji affiliate program allows registered partners to monetize their audience traffic by referring real-money players to the platform. Unlike traditional advertising networks that pay fixed costs per click or impression, iGaming affiliate programs operate primarily on a recurring revenue-sharing model. This technical manual breaks down how the partner program functions, Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) calculations, tier commission brackets, negative carryover policies, payment schedules, and ethical compliance guidelines.

The Economics of iGaming Affiliate Partnerships

At its core, an affiliate partnership is a performance-based marketing collaboration between an independent marketing publisher (the affiliate) and the gaming platform. When you register as a verified partner, the platform provides you with an administrative dashboard and unique encrypted tracking links.

When individuals click your tracking links, register a new account, and deposit funds to play slots, crash games, or cricket exchange markets, those players are permanently tagged to your partner account. You earn a pre-agreed percentage of the net revenue generated by those active players over their entire customer lifetime.

This model provides continuous, recurring revenue potential, but it also requires an understanding of how player losses, wins, promotional bonuses, and operational deductions affect your final monthly balance.

Commission Models: Revenue Share vs. CPA vs. Hybrid

Affiliate agreements in South Asia typically operate under one of three structural compensation frameworks:

[ Revenue Share (RevShare) ] ──► Earn 30% to 50% of monthly Net Gaming Revenue (Lifetime)
             ▲
             │ (Alternative Commission Structures)
             ▼
[ Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) ] ──► Earn a fixed one-time bounty per qualified first deposit
             ▲
             │
             ▼
[ Hybrid Deals ]             ──► Balanced baseline CPA + reduced ongoing RevShare percentage

1. Lifetime Revenue Share (RevShare)

The standard and most sustainable compensation structure. You receive a sliding-scale percentage—typically ranging from 30% up to 50%—of the net gaming revenue generated by your referred player pool every calendar month. If your player community remains active, you continue earning commissions month after month without requiring ongoing ad spend.

2. Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)

Under a CPA agreement, you receive a one-time fixed cash bounty for every referred user who completes registration and makes a qualifying first deposit (for example, depositing at least ৳1,000 BDT). Once the bounty is paid out, you receive no further commissions from that player's future activity. CPA agreements are typically negotiated by high-volume media buyers.

3. Hybrid Agreements

A customized combination offering a smaller upfront CPA payment alongside a baseline ongoing revenue share (for example, ৳500 BDT per qualified registration plus 20% lifetime RevShare).

The Mathematical Calculation of Net Gaming Revenue (NGR)

A common misconception among new affiliates is confusing Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) with Net Gaming Revenue (NGR). Your commission percentage is calculated strictly on Net Gaming Revenue, not total player losses.

The Standard Industry NGR Formula:

$$\text{Net Gaming Revenue (NGR)} = \text{Gross Bets} - \text{Player Winnings} - \text{Bonus Costs} - \text{Platform Admin Fees} - \text{Payment Gateway Costs}$$

Practical Accounting Example:

Suppose your referred player community wagers heavily across a 30-day calendar month:

• Total Gross Bets Placed: ৳1,000,000 BDT
• Total Player Winnings Paid Out: ৳920,000 BDT
• Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR): ৳80,000 BDT
• Deductions:
• Promotional Bonuses Claimed by Players: ৳10,000 BDT
• Payment Gateway Processing Tariffs (bKash/Nagad 2% fees): ৳2,000 BDT
• Game Provider Royalty / Admin Fee (15% of GGR): ৳12,000 BDT
• Net Gaming Revenue (NGR): $৳80,000 - ৳10,000 - ৳2,000 - ৳12,000 = ৳56,000\text{ BDT}$
• Your 40% Commission: $৳56,000 \times 0.40 = ৳22,400\text{ BDT}$

Understanding these operational deductions ensures you evaluate your monthly performance statements with complete accounting clarity.

Partner Tier Progression and Commission Brackets

The platform rewards high-performing marketing partners with escalating commission percentages based on monthly active player volume and net revenue production:

Definition of an Active Player: A registered user who logs in and executes at least one real-money deposit and turnover transaction within the active calendar month.

Understanding Negative Carryover Policies

In gaming affiliate programs, a high-roller player in your referral pool can occasionally experience an extraordinary winning streak or trigger a massive progressive jackpot. When player winnings exceed total platform bets during a single month, your NGR for that month becomes negative.

How this negative balance is handled depends on the platform's Negative Carryover policy:

• With Negative Carryover: If your referral pool generates a negative balance of -৳50,000 BDT in January, that deficit is carried forward into February. You will not earn any commission in February until your player pool generates sufficient net losses to offset the negative balance from the previous month.
• No Negative Carryover (Clean Slate): Platforms offering "No Negative Carryover" reset negative balances to zero on the first day of every new calendar month. Even if a lucky player won millions in January, you begin February with a clean slate, allowing you to earn fresh commissions immediately.

Always clarify the specific negative balance terms with your dedicated affiliate manager upon account approval.

Sub-Affiliate Multi-Tier Referral Network

In addition to referring direct players, the platform features a multi-tier sub-affiliate network that allows you to recruit other digital marketers, webmasters, and influencers:

• Tier 1 (Direct Players): You earn your primary 30% to 50% commission on the players you introduce directly through your marketing links.
• Tier 2 (Sub-Affiliates): When you refer another marketing professional who signs up as an affiliate partner using your master referral link, you receive a secondary commission—typically 5% to 10%—of the total earnings generated by that sub-affiliate.

This multi-tier structure enables established digital marketing agencies and media groups to build passive agency-level distribution networks across Bangladesh.

Payout Schedules and Local Banking Gateways for Partners

Affiliate partners rely on timely, transparent payments to reinvest in advertising, content production, and community operations. The partner cashier operates on a structured monthly cycle:

• Performance Audit Window: The 1st to the 5th of every month. The accounting team audits game server logs, confirms active player counts, and deducts promotional fees to calculate finalized NGR statements.
• Commission Disbursement: Approved affiliate commissions are dispatched between the 6th and the 10th of every month.
• Supported Local Payment Channels: Partners in Bangladesh can withdraw their earnings directly through:
• bKash Personal or Merchant accounts (Zero platform transfer fees)
• Nagad Direct Wallet Cashouts
• Rocket Mobile Banking
• Tether (USDT TRC-20): Cryptocurrency payouts for international partners or high-tier affiliates requiring anonymous, high-volume capital transfers.
• Minimum Payout Threshold: The minimum affiliate balance required to trigger a monthly disbursement is ৳2,000 BDT for mobile financial services, or $100 USDT for crypto withdrawals. If your monthly earnings fall below this floor, your balance rolls over to the following month without penalty.

Ethical Marketing and Compliance Standards for Partners

Operating as an affiliate partner carries ethical and regulatory responsibilities. Violations of marketing conduct result in the immediate closure of your partner account and forfeiture of accumulated earnings:

• Zero Spam Policy: Partners are strictly prohibited from sending unsolicited bulk SMS messages, automated WhatsApp blasts, or spamming public Facebook and Telegram groups with uninvited referral links.
• No Deceptive Guarantees: Marketing materials must never promise guaranteed income, "fixed match" insider outcomes, or risk-free returns. All promotional copy must truthfully reflect that casino games and sports wagering involve financial risk.
• Underage Protection: Promotional campaigns must never target minors under the age of 18 (১৮+). Placing affiliate banners or links on websites with children's content or school study portals is grounds for immediate termination.
• Brand Keyword Protection: Partners are not permitted to bid on the official brand name in Google Ads or PPC networks without written authorization from their affiliate manager.
