What you earn
Every bet placed by a qualified player in your Network generates house edge, currently 1.5% of the amount wagered, and a third of that edge is paid to the referral chain above them.
So for every 100 USDC one of your direct invitees wagers, you are credited about 0.30 USDC. Read the last row alongside the first: the network is paid half of what the casino keeps.
Applied to monthly wagered volume from your direct invitees, at the current 1.5% edge:
These are illustrations of the formula, not projections. Commissions scale with volume actually wagered, and nothing guarantees any level of it.
The right-hand column also assumes the full chain is there. Where a layer above the player is empty, or the player has not yet crossed the qualification threshold, that share stays with the house, which is why the network earns up to a third of the edge rather than exactly a third. Your own Layer 1 share is unaffected by what sits above you.
What a headline percentage hides
Affiliate deals in iGaming are usually quoted as a percentage of net gaming revenue (NGR): revenue after the operator has subtracted its costs. What gets subtracted varies by operator and is rarely visible from the outside: bonus and promotion costs, payment processing, game-provider fees, licensing and gaming duties, and often a flat administration fee. Many programmes also apply negative carryover. Revenue is computed per affiliate per month, and a month in which the operator loses money on your players is carried into the next one: you earn nothing until the deficit is cleared. It exists for a reason (without it an affiliate is paid on winning months and shielded on losing ones), but it means your income depends on outcomes you do not influence, reported by a party you cannot audit. So a headline percentage says very little on its own. A 40% share of a base that has been reduced by half pays less than a third of a base that has not been reduced at all. Ours is not reduced at all:
When you compare two programmes, the question that matters is not the percentage but what the percentage applies to.
Why there is no carryover here
Not as a concession: it cannot exist. The commission is computed from the edge a wager generated and credited in the same transaction that settles the bet. There is no monthly period, so there is no monthly balance to be negative, and nothing to reconcile afterwards. The same property explains why a bad run for the house never reduces what your Network earns. The commission follows the edge the bet generated, not what the casino happened to win that week.What you can verify
The percentages on this page are derived from a short list of parameters, and every one of those is stored in a public on-chain account:- the house edge, set per game;
- the network’s share of that edge, set once for the whole casino (the same share applies whatever you play);
- the five layer weights and the qualification threshold;
- your Network’s balance, and every commission credited to it.
What this model does not offer
Worth being explicit, because it is the trade-off of doing it on-chain:- No negotiated rates. The share is a single on-chain parameter applied to every Network. There are no private deals, no tiers and no volume brackets: a large Network earns the same rate per bet as a new one. That cuts both ways: nobody can negotiate a better rate than yours either.
- No guaranteed income. A Network earns from wagered volume. Sign-ups that do not play generate nothing, and players below the qualification threshold generate nothing.
- Parameters can change. The edge, the network’s share, the layer weights and the threshold are governance-tunable on-chain. Current values are listed in Fees & limits; the on-chain accounts are always authoritative.
