Smart Live Affiliates have added a new calculation to the commission structure. A not yet fully defined ‘Admin Fee’ has been added to the commissions calculation.

TERMS UPDATE, Commissions, Commissions Calculation

3.3 ”Revenue Share” is based on the net revenue for a player.? The net revenue is calculated on a daily basis as follows: all gross monies received by SLC from customers through SLC?s promoted websites, less monies paid out to customers as winnings less withdrawals less chargebacks, less admin fees, less bonuses paid out to a player / user.


Summary:Who knows what admin fees are? Such new additions to terms should really be fully defined. Be wary of your commissions at Smart Live Affiliates, it is your duty to ensure you are being fairly commissioned.

It appears that Smart Live Affiliates may be changing their T&C’s to include administration fees in their commission structure. Since their is no effective date for this term, it is assumed retroactive.

TERMS UPDATE, Commissions, Admin Fees

3.3 “Revenue Share” is based on the net revenue for a player. The net revenue is calculated on a daily basis as follows: all gross monies received by SLC from customers through SLC’s promoted websites, less monies paid out to customers as winnings less withdrawals less chargebacks, less admin fees, less bonuses paid out to a player / user.


Summary:This type of addition is a contract breach (IMO). What are admin fees? How much do they amount to? Would it take 25% revenue sharing down to 10% revenue sharing? These are things that affiliates should be aware of.
