AffRepublic Audit Report

[Guard Dog]

Hello AGD community,

Today we present to you the real revenue share audit report for AffRepublic.

They have Wild Tokyo Casino as their brand.

Affiliate Reporting Platform: affilka

Aff Republic

AFF REPUBLIC IS A TRUSTED AFFILIATES PROGRAM

affrepublic.com

Test signup and deposit is made from Country ‘Serbia’

We deposited €20 via Skrill and took a welcome bonus of 100% up to 100.

Our funds with the welcome offer were €40 and we started playing some slots:

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

For the deposit of €20 via Skrill the Net Gaming Revenue was €12

To summarize, the Effective Net Gaming Revenue (the amount of money deposited and lost) is 12/20= 60%.

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

• 25% = 15.00 %
• 30% = 18.00 %
• 35% = 21.00 %
• 40% = 24.00 %
• 45% = 27.00 %

Hi Everyone,

My name is Andy. I represent Affrepublic Partner Program. I am here to assist you with anything you will be in need of regarding our Partner Program.

Wild Tokyo is a white label casino, and like every other white label casino, we pay royalties to the platform provider, game providers, as well as commissions to banks and payment systems - this is what the admin fee is made up of. In revenue share commissions, affiliates get a share of NGR generated by players they referred. NGR stands for Net Gaming Revenue. I will be happy to break down that admin fee formula for anyone who might be interested in it.

If you have any questions or if something isn't clear, please contact me and I will gladly answer any queries you may have. My skype is live:.cid.f8bcc174d2b54416.

@andysword - mate your talking to us like we're all newbies. Myself for example, I've been a casino affiliate since 2000 (21 years) ... @AidanLCFC - He's an old-timer too.

FYI if we reckon we're being ripped off, we say it... And unfortunately, the affiliate program you represent, along with the 'white label' is, as we say, ripping off affiliates with its pathetically low RS commissions.

Please don't try to BS us with these poor excuses for Admin Fees. If these were truly legit deductions, then every igaming affiliate program from day dot, would have been charging "Admin Fees".

BUT Hey... guess what??? That is not the case.

Unfortunately these "Admin Fees" are just another means to screw affiliates out of their rightful income.

Please don't come here and insult our years and years of affiliate experience with this Admin Fee BS.

Hello Dave.

We are being transparent, our partners get on what we agree on, the part of NGR with NNCO. We are acting as agreed.

It is your right to think that "Admin Fees" are the means, to how you tell it, "screw affiliates" or "rip off", and you may think that we use it as an excuse and that we just adjust fake ones. As an argument, you only have that some brands don't have the admin fees.

That is ok buddy, everyone has their own idea of it. I am here not to argue with you about "admin fee", I am here to tell you that yes we do have our expenses, and we are not hiding them and you as an experienced one should know that, to all our partners who inquire about this info we provide it to them.

Well, as I see it, it is business and partnership. Any kind of business has its costs: direct, indirect, fixed, and so on. We are all here to earn money, and we have this great opportunity to cooperate and make both parties satisfied. And one may think that he is being cheated, shaved, and so on. Then this is his problem, the problem of choosing the right partner and lack of communication skills. This thing should run on trust, respect, and transparency from both ways.

 

[AussieDave]

This thing should run on trust, respect, and transparency

Agreed. But your program isn't transparent.

If it was truly honest, it would advertise; market; state with full disclosure, the true commission percentages paid to affiliates. The exact money figure paid to affiliate partners.

However like the new breed of white labels etc., etc., the true commission %'s are inflated. EG - 25% pays a a pathetic 15.00 %. 45% pays 27%. Hiding the true commission %'s paid... Ummmm that a scam!

Meaning of SCAM...

To swindle (someone) by means of a trick.

Stating the false commission %'s and not the TRUE commission %'s earned, is a 100% scam.

This advertised percentage across affiliate programs is like telling the player -- sign up to take this free 100 EUR bonus without telling more details about it. In other words, a proper mislead and scummy practice right before the start.

TBH, i don't get exactly why are they doing this?

But I guess some must bring in a certain amount of new affiliates a week, and that's why they're trying different tricks so the affiliate seeing these fake numbers signs up.

Do you think it's the route for them to succeed? I don't. They're are simply turning everyone away from themselves.

Another funny thing is that some AM's pretend stupid when I ask them about their deductions and fees.

They ignore the actual question but instead reply with that we can give you X%.

Not Andy, he answered to this, I remember.

affrepublic.com/terms.html

We retain the right to change the REVENUE SHARE AND NET GENERATED REVENUE percentage and method of calculation of Revenue Share as we wish in accordance with clause 1.2

Aside from Affrepublic being able to alter; change; edit; amend or otherwise renege on any agreed commission percentage and or affiliate agreement, there is also NO clause 1.2, in the T&C contract. The ONLY indication of such a rule is found in paragraph two (2) of section one (1).

I'd also like to draw attention to the supposed GGR deductions:

b) NGR from Casino is calculated as, the sum total of all your referred Customers' gross bets less payouts (as calculated by Our Website), less any credits, bonus or promotional amounts given to Referred Customers, processing charges, chargebacks, or any uncollectible revenue attributable to the Referred Customers.

I can understand a casino charging a % of the bonus given, but I can not, and never could, or would support the use of deducting the full-bonus-value from GGR, if the bonus is lost back to the casino. EG - wagering is not met. Until such time as wagering is still in play, these bonuses are nothing more than monopoly money.

Sorry but I don't see how this program's AM can boast about honesty, when all I'm seeing and reading are ways to steal affiliate's rightful income

 

[gm2891]

Great posts, Dave! Actually as usual hah...I know this thing about the bonus bullshit too, got one casino listed that does it and it works out as nearly 60% in deductions. Luckily I didn't write its review since put their casino up for a month to test it out. Got around 10 depositors, but will remove them anyway until it's not too late.

 

[andysword]

What a nice discussion is here.
When it comes to percent, most affiliates are well-versed. And the majority of partners inquire about the admin fee before agreeing to a deal. Why? Because it is present in the majority of brands. You can call it a scam or anything you like. I can only tell you that I accept your point of view and that you are right in your assessment; everyone has their own reality, and it is your truth and the truth of someone else who perceives things the same way you do.
I believe that the admin fee is now common knowledge and that everyone is aware of it.
Working with or not with a specific partner program is a personal decision.
After being fully informed and putting both sides to the test, a decision should be reached.

WTF? That is one lame-arse answer, if you believe that bullshit, then I'm seriously worried about your state of mind.

 

[andysword]

Thank you, man, don't worry. Please tell me what is wrong with that?

Forgot to mention it as a reply, sorry for that.

Our actions have an effect on those around us, for better or worse, we all share the same reality. It's only people who try to justify their bad actions, or beliefs, who believe in the woo-woo that we all have separate realities.

You punch me on my nose and it will probably bleed.

The reality is one, how you perceive it is another one. Maybe I didn't express myself right. I just wanted to tell that I respect everyone's opinion and how they perceive the things around them.
