So, as a new affiliate I've been reading quite a bit on this forum, but I'm stuck at the whole question of "gross revenue percentage vs net - which is best?", where one of the programs I'm thinking of joining offers 15% of the gross, while the other is 25% of net.

While I understand the general difference between the two options, I've read members on here saying that gross can still have a lot of deductions before payout, so how is that the gross? Sounds more like net to me.

Can anyone please clarify what I should be going for here?

It boils down to what all their fees and deductions are - and it seems like no 2 are the same.

True. I've seen some members here post the breakdown of their deductions with one claiming a 3% admin fee off their commission, while another was a whopping 25% admin fee. That's a HUGE difference.

For my opinion, part of gross always more profitable than part of NET, because casino can add any deductions and you can't do anything with it.

Neither or either is best. It depends on the share you get paid, and a host of other factors like how good the affiliate program conversion is, their retention rate, treatment of customers, speed of payment etc.

But to simplify, assuming all else is equal:
30% of $100 gross is $30.
40% of $80 net is $32.
20% of $150 gross is $30.
50% of $58 net is $29.

You decide.
