Not sure what happend but this program has kept detoriating they used to be attentive and pay first day, I have checked my account and althogh they send out the payment emails to confirm your payment details each month they don't actually pay. I have requested every month emailed and no answer. So I will give them a few more days before I blacklist and remove froms site. It seems other affiliates are also hgaving this problem. Also they have not responded to my post on GPWA

They didnt email me the changes to the terms.. anyhow here they are, Gotta love AI
Short answer: this X Mark Affiliates deal is heavily operator-skewed. You can work with it, but only if you negotiate hard and get exceptions in writing. Here are the needles to watch:


Biggest red flags (money/operational)​


  • Payout gating:
    • $250 minimum payout.
    • No first payment until 5 active depositing players.
    • Lose eligibility if you don’t meet the requirement for 3 straight months; to re-activate, you must deliver >5 FTDs in a single month.
    • Keep deal active = 3 FTDs per quarter, or they auto-cancel the deal.
      → This can block cash flow for smaller or seasonal campaigns.
  • Unilateral term changes:
    They can change commission structure, schedules, program rules at any time; staying in the program = acceptance.
    → Insist on a change-control clause (your prior written consent for rate cuts) or at least a 30–60 day buffer + right to exit with all due commissions paid.
  • RevShare formula (cash-flow style):
    (Deposits – Withdrawals – Chargebacks – “MC Adjustment”) × %

    → That’s not classic NGR/GGR; it’s closer to net cash. Your payable can be crushed if whales withdraw or if “MC Adjustment” is used broadly.
    → Demand a standard NGR definition (bets – wins – bonuses – fraud – processing) with a capped, itemized cost schedule and no arbitrary adjustments.
  • Vague “MC Adjustment”:
    Operator can manually correct Multicash transactions and apply adjustments to affiliate earnings.
    → Require a written cap, audit trail, and monthly line-item reporting before accepting this.
  • Chargeback clawback (50%)
    They deduct 50% of charged-back amounts from your payment or reserve.
    → Negotiate a cap or exclude chargebacks beyond X days or after KYC/AML status is confirmed.
  • Reporting at their discretion:
    “Form, content, and frequency” can vary.
    → Lock daily portal reporting, fixed month-end cutoff, and a reconciliation window.
  • Crypto/bank only & you pay wire fees:
    Fine, but confirm supported coins, network, fee policy, and payout batching to avoid dust/fee shock.
  • Good-faith traffic clause (withhold all amounts):
    They can retain all amounts if they “reasonably” suspect bad traffic—even if you didn’t intend it.
    → Require notice + evidence + cure period and limit withholds to disputed portion only.
  • Termination + withholding:
    They can terminate anytime; if they think you failed obligations, they can not pay you on termination and withhold final payment for a “reasonable” time.
    → Get “payouts survive termination” language for all pre-termination activity, with a fixed release date (e.g., within 30 days).
