Hello AGD community,

We present you the real revenue share audit report for 7StarsPartners.

They have 13 brands: Malina, Buran, YoYo, Casinia, BoaBoa, Cadoola, CampoBet, ALF, LibraBet, Wazamba, ZulaBet, LightCasino, Nomini, five of which, namely: Malina, Casinia, CampoBet, LibraBet, ZulaBet offer sports betting opportunities as well.

Affiliate Reporting Platform: NetRefer

At first, we deposited EUR 20 via Skrill at Nomini, took the welcome bonus and started playing some slots:

Eventually, we lost all the funds and checked the earnings report:

For the deposit of EUR 20, the Net Revenue was only EUR 2.
Our commission should be 45% of that amount which is EUR 0.90.

To summarize, the Effective Net Gaming Revenue (the amount of money deposited and lost) is 2/20= 10%!

Finally, multiply the advertised revenue share rate with the Effective NGR to see your real revenue share rate, e.g:

• 25% = 2.5%
• 30% = 3 %
• 35% = 3.5 %
• 40% = 4 %
• 45% = 4.5 %

We were skeptical about these results so we contacted 7StarsPartners in order to get more details. They explained they are a multi-brand affiliate program with differences among brands and markets they target. And they asked us to do 3 more deposits.

Therefore, we deposited EUR 10 at Nomini casino again, but this time without a bonus.

Then we deposited EUR 10 without the welcome bonus at Wazamba and lost all:

And finally, we deposited EUR 15 at ZulaBet without the welcome bonus and lost all:

Eventually, we checked the statistics:

Nomini: For the deposit of EUR 10, when playing without a bonus, the Net Revenue was EUR 8. That means that the Effective NGR is 80%.
Our earnings should be 45% of the NGR which is EUR 3.6.

Wazamba: For the deposit of EUR 10, when playing without a bonus, the Net Revenue was EUR 8. That means that the Effective NGR is 80%.
Our earnings should be 45% of the NGR which is EUR 3.6.

ZulaBet: For the deposit of EUR 15, when playing without a bonus, the Net Revenue was EUR 12. That means that the Effective NGR is 80%.
Our earnings should be 45% of the NGR which is EUR 5.4.

Finally, multiply the advertised revenue share rate with the Effective NGR to see your real revenue share rate, e.g:

• 25% = 20%
• 30% = 24%
• 35% = 28%
• 40% = 32%
• 45% = 36%

Conclusion: Your earnings will be much higher if your players decide to play without a welcome bonus in one of the 7StarsPartners brands.

thanks a lot!!!
seems like partial conclusion as most players do take bonuses so you left with 10%, which is something i assumed after promoting them for few months. Just never assumed it's soooooo low

That's pretty awful. Majority of players will accept bonus and my guess is retention is low with these so thanks but no thanks.

awful results when bonus is taken. They need to clarify and show the affiliates why and how this bonus cost is deducted. I highly doubt their software provider(s) is charging them as much for the bonus cost. If that is the case then they are being ripped off by their provider. And if that is not the case then affiliates are being ripped off by the said group.

I have had similar experiences with other brands previously. That happens if the brand charges the admin fee on Gross Gaming Revenue when they include the bonus in that amount. 200% deposit bonus will result in higher admin fee deductions.

Example: €20 deposit + €40 bonus = €60 GGR. Admin fee seems to be 20% based on the NGR for the other brands so net revenue should be:
€60 - admin fee - bonus deduction - other fees. With 20% admin fee, the net revenue should still be €8. It looks like admin fee was 30% for the player with the bonus unless they have some other fees deducted as well.

I don´t think that it is fair that affiliate programs includes a lost bonus in the GGR if they calculate the admin fee on that amount. I have seen examples with brands running a 400% bonus resulting in negative revenue for depositing players that lost everything. How is that reasonable? I can guarantee that the casino doesn´t make a loss on players that lose everything.

7 partners group is most scam affiliate program on Russian market, no one affiliate from Russia don't work with them. Be aware lol. Main trick - is cross-marketing all players from one affiliate to another, thats why they opened new brands all time
