Affiliate Program

Earn a commission on the earnings of publishers you refer. The program is always active — there is nothing to enrol in and nothing to switch on.

How commission is calculated

Your commission percentage is set by your platform operator. For each conversion your referral completes, you earn:

commission = the conversion's payout × your commission percentage
Commission is only paid when a conversion is approved. Not when the offer is clicked, and not while the conversion is pending. If a conversion is later rejected, the commission is not granted. This is the single most important thing to understand about referral earnings.

The percentage is fixed at the moment the referral is created. If your operator changes the commission rate later, existing referrals keep the rate they were signed up at; only new referrals pick up the new rate.

Commission is credited to your balance immediately when it is granted, and it is also included in your monthly payout invoice. See Withdrawals.

Tracking your referrals

Two pages under Referral Program in the publisher sidebar:

Page Shows
My Referrals Everyone you have referred, their status, and the earnings each has produced for you.
My Stats Totals: how many referrals, how many are active, your commission earned to date, and your commission this month.

Commission this month is measured by the month the commission was granted. A conversion approved in March counts towards March even if the network reported it earlier.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Cause and fix
Someone signed up with my link but is not listed For email sign-ups the visitor cleared the pre-filled referral field, or they were already registered. Referrals cannot be added after the fact.
Social sign-ups are not being attributed The code must be on the URL that triggers the social sign-in, not on the registration page.
A referral shows as active but has earned nothing Their conversions have not reached approved yet, or none of them completed.
The commission rate shown differs from the current operator setting Expected. Each referral keeps the percentage that was in force when they registered.
Commission vanished after a period One of the underlying conversions was rejected, so the commission was not retained.
I referred myself Not permitted, and earns nothing.
My commission is not in my payout Referral commission is included in the monthly invoice, but only for commission that has been granted. Check the invoice's source breakdown.
