Please note that fraudulent activity might be established both as judging by technical substantiation (such as identical IP addresses and/or other individual details) and/or a player’s model of behaviour.
Affiliate fraud could be best described as an actual or attempted venture of an affiliate or any player which is fairly considered by Lucky Bandit to be (i) illicit in any applicable jurisdiction; (ii) made in wrong convictions; or (iii) aiming to con Lucky Bandit or any of the sites and/or bypass any contractual or licit restrictions, irrespective of whether such of an act or attempted acts actually bring about Lucky Bandit or any of the sites any damage or harm.

7. Affiliate Tagging
You are only responsible for directing customers to the Lucky Bandit website.
Only properly tagged customers can be assigned to an affiliate. Should an affiliate tag be improperly inserted into the affiliate site or not properly received by the Lucky Bandit web server the resulting customer registration and transactions will not be assigned to the affiliate. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the affiliate to ensure that all links are properly tagged.
4. COMMISSIONS AND PAYMENTS
1. Lucky Bandit will pay out a commission, as defined by Lucky Bandit Affiliate Program commission structure, provided that you maintain in your account as an affiliate, at least five (5) different Active Wagering Members in any given calendar month.
In cases where there are no new active wagering members within a 6 (six) months period, your account will be terminated at our sole discretion, and all commissions generated during those months will be revoked.
2. Active Wagering Members refers to player, which have wagered minimum amount of 20 EUR of bets.
3. Commissions will be calculated only at the end of the month and according to the total revenues generated during the given month. Commissions are paid once per month only.
4. Commissionable Earnings are calculated as Lucky Bandit profit, less charge-back, complimentary money, free money offers and other incentives offered to the customer, derived from at least five (5) active wagering members in a calendar month.
Charge-back: A credit card holder discovers irregular transactions made on his/her Credit/Debit Card, which was not authorized by him/her. The credit card holder then requests his/her bank to reverse these charges. Charge backs relate to fraudulent use by a third party of the credit card holder’s card or card number.
Should the player process a charge back, the disputed or charged-back revenue generated by yourself will be forfeited and therefore deducted from the total balance due to you for the current month.
Should this deduction of the accumulated revenue exceed your current amount due, your balance will then revert to a negative balance, and you will have to earn revenue to cover the charge-back before you can start earning revenue again.
We understand that this might be frustrating to the affiliates, but it must be made clear that Lucky Bandit can only pay out a percentage of their profits, not fraudulent revenue.
Complimentary Money, Free Money and Other incentives refer to those amounts credited to the account of customers. As they have not purchased these amounts Lucky Bandit cannot pay commissions on these amounts.
5. Should you fail to be entitled to the Commissionable Earnings in accordance with Clauses 4 above for failure to maintain at least five (5) Active Wagering Members in a given month, you may be given (at Lucky Bandit ’s sole discretion) a grace period of two (2) months within which to comply. Upon compliance, your commission for the subject period not exceeding three (3) consecutive months will be consolidated to constitute your commissionable earnings for the same period. (at Lucky Bandit ’s sole discretion)
6. Commissionable earnings will be subject to commissions as calculated using the Lucky Bandit Affiliate Program commission structure in force from time to time.
7. In order to be eligible for a CPA commission the affiliate has to maintain a number of 5 new active accounts per month. CPA commissions will be paid when the total deposits for the players referred by the affiliates reach 75% out of the commission due per month. In case of not meeting this requirement – commissions will be rolled over until eligibility is reached.
8. Negative earnings are carried forward to the next month. Should the affiliate close the month with a positive balance, payment will be issued if it meets the minimum requirements of 100 EUR (for e-wallets and credit cards) and 500 EUR (for bank wires) and commissions will be paid on the positive balance. If an affiliate has a negative balance, he will have to generate enough commissions on the following month, which equals the absolute negative amount plus the minimum requirement of 100 EUR (500 EUR for bank wires), in order to get paid.
9. The Commissionable Earnings of the affiliate calculated based on commission structure will be earned on all transactions that the customer undertakes with the merchant, as long as the affiliate remains a member of this affiliate program.
