Title:Affiliate Club Removes Predatory TermDate:April 15, 2009 9:15 am


Affiliate Club finally listens to affiliates!! They have recently removed the term(s) in their clause relating to the ‘Minimum Player Rule’ whereby an affiliate has to send them players every month in order to get the commissions they are rightly owed. Glad to hear that AC has come to their senses! :)

REMOVED TERMS, Commissions, Active Player

1.4 “Active Affiliate” means:


1.4.1 Casino: an Affiliate who sends at least 1 (one) new active player per month that will wager 100 EUR; or has a wager amount of 100 EUR performed by one or more players.


1.4.2 Poker: an Affiliate who sends a player that will generate a minimum amount of Rake of 5 EUR.



4.2.2 Commissions will be based upon :
· our statistics and our good faith calculation;
· the number of Active Affiliates sent.


UPDATED TERMS, Commissions, Calculations

1.9 1.8 Contributed Rake is the quotient obtained when multiplying the total amount of the rake taken from the pot by the percentage of money the player had contributed to the pot. For example, if the pot is $100 EUR and the player you contributed $10 EUR of that pot then your percentage is 10%. Therefore, if the rake taken from that hand was $10 EUR then your theoretical rake would have been $1. 1 EUR.


1.10 1.9 Commission is defined as: Casino Net Revenue means the amount of bets minus Casino winnings minus Casino bonuses plus adjustments to Casino bonuses. Poker : Casino: Net revenue = Gross Revenue means the total of all (Player Rakes plus Poker tournament entry fees minus Losses – Player Wins) – Bonuses – Adjustments (Charge backs) Poker bonuses. 1.11 Poker : Rake +/- Net transfer in/out to poker system – Bonuses.

5.2.5 If we continue to permit play from customers after termination, this will not constitute a continuation or renewal of this Agreement or a waiver of termination.


5.2.6 You will be entitled only to those unpaid Referral Fees, if any, earned by you on or prior to the date of termination. You will not be entitled to Referral Fees occurring after date of termination. For the clearance of any doubts
