Hello everyone,
I would like to share an ongoing affiliate payment dispute with Emperia Partners and ask for feedback from other affiliates who may have experienced something similar.
After discussions, we agreed on:
€150 CPA + 50% RevShare
The terms were accepted by us on May 27, 2026.
We placed Emperia Casino on our website on June 9, 2026 and informed them that the placement was live.
€3,750.00 commission
On July 16, Emperia Partners informed us that the June commission would be paid by July 25.
However, on July 20, we noticed that the June invoice had been marked as canceled.
When we contacted them, they explained that the CPA payment was being put on hold while they reviewed the June FTDs and player activity.
Importantly, they explicitly told us that this was not a rejection of the traffic, but an additional review of the players' long-term value.
€2,908.44 commission
On August 25, Emperia informed us that they had decided to terminate the cooperation because the results were not profitable enough for them.
We accepted their decision to terminate the partnership.
However, the outstanding commissions remained unpaid.
At no earlier stage were we informed that our traffic had been classified as fraudulent.
Previously, Emperia had described the situation as a traffic-quality / player-value review and explicitly stated that the traffic was not rejected.
We have now been told that the traffic is being reviewed for fraud, but we have not been provided with specific evidence identifying:
We do not believe the commercial terms should simply be changed retrospectively to RevShare-only after the traffic has already been delivered and commissions have been recorded in the affiliate system.
July 2026: €2,908.44
Total: €6,658.44
We have documentation for the entire timeline, including:
We are not claiming that Emperia has no right to investigate traffic quality or fraud.
Our position is simply that if they are withholding the agreed CPA because of alleged fraudulent traffic, they should provide specific evidence and identify the contractual basis for doing so.
Has anyone here dealt with a similar situation with Emperia Partners, particularly regarding CPA being withheld after commissions were generated and subsequently changed to RevShare-only?
Any feedback or advice from experienced affiliates would be appreciated.

Background
On May 14, 2026, Emperia Partners contacted us via Telegram regarding the promotion of Emperia Casino on our website.After discussions, we agreed on:
€150 CPA + 50% RevShare
The terms were accepted by us on May 27, 2026.
We placed Emperia Casino on our website on June 9, 2026 and informed them that the placement was live.
June 2026
During June, our traffic generated:€3,750.00 commission
On July 16, Emperia Partners informed us that the June commission would be paid by July 25.
However, on July 20, we noticed that the June invoice had been marked as canceled.
When we contacted them, they explained that the CPA payment was being put on hold while they reviewed the June FTDs and player activity.
Importantly, they explicitly told us that this was not a rejection of the traffic, but an additional review of the players' long-term value.
July 2026
Despite the June payment issue, our website generated another:€2,908.44 commission
On August 25, Emperia informed us that they had decided to terminate the cooperation because the results were not profitable enough for them.
We accepted their decision to terminate the partnership.
However, the outstanding commissions remained unpaid.
The latest explanation
After asking what would happen to the June and July commissions, we were told:This is where we have a serious concern.
At no earlier stage were we informed that our traffic had been classified as fraudulent.
Previously, Emperia had described the situation as a traffic-quality / player-value review and explicitly stated that the traffic was not rejected.
We have now been told that the traffic is being reviewed for fraud, but we have not been provided with specific evidence identifying:
- which players are allegedly fraudulent;
- which traffic or transactions are allegedly fraudulent;
- what specific activity violated the agreement;
- or which contractual provision allows the agreed CPA to be withheld retrospectively.
We do not believe the commercial terms should simply be changed retrospectively to RevShare-only after the traffic has already been delivered and commissions have been recorded in the affiliate system.
