4. Reports & Payments
4.1 Reports
We will track and report Player activities as necessary to summarize Player activity for purposes of calculating your Marketing Fees. The form, content and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time in our sole discretion. Generally, you will be provided with remote, unique password protected online access to you player’s statistics including the Dollar, Euro and GBP amount of all Deposits, Withdrawals, Charge backs and Credits, per each of your Tracker(s).
4.2 Marketing Fees
You will be paid for your marketing efforts based upon the agreed commission percentage of Net Revenues generated on your Tracker(s) per calendar month.
4.3 Tracking
When a new Player comes to the Site through your Tracker, our system records the Player as yours based on a multi tier tracking system to ensure as close to 100% tracking as possible. The multi tier tracking is based on cookies, IP time stamping and Java side servlets. In pursuit of state of the art systems, we may at any time change how the tracking is done as we in our sole discretion decide from time to time. Once an account is actually opened, then the account is permanently tagged with your Tracker(s) so that all subsequent activity relating to that account will be credited to you via our database until the account is closed or this Agreement is terminated, whichever occurs first.
4.4 Payment Schedule
At Grande Vegas Affiliates payments are received by the 5th working day of every calendar month. This payment consists of the commission earned by you between the first and the last day of the previous calendar month. Payment of commission earnings will be made to your preferred payment method account, chosen when signing up with our program. The payments methods available are subject to change and can be found on our website
4.5 Payment Minimums
Payment is sent to you via your selected payment method, chosen by you from the available payment methods provided by us. Payment will only be made to you should your balance meet the minimum required amount of $100.00. For bank wire payments, the minimum required earning amount is $500 before payment is made. If the Marketing Fees payable to you are less than $100.00/$500.00 in any calendar month, then we may hold those fees until the total amount due is more than $100.00/$500.00 (or if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated.

If your account balance is in a negative position (e.g. because total customer winnings have exceeded total customer losses) a zero balance will be carried over until the following month. We also retain the right to change the commission structure and method of calculating fees.
Any Charge backs or credits received from the affiliate’s players will be deducted from the affiliate’s next commission payment. If you have more than one Tracker, then the above payments will be determined on the sum total of your Trackers combined. Should the deduction of the Charge back amount exceed your current amount due, your balance will then revert to a negative balance, and you will have to work your way back to zero before you can start earning revenue again.
We retain the right to pass on any financial costs to your account that we may incur due to fraudulent activity auctioned by players that you get to sign up at the casino.
Unlike with a player making a big win, which only lasts one month (No Negative Carryover), a Chargeback will stay due until the revenue generated by your other players has covered the amount due. We understand that this might be frustrating to the Affiliates, but it has to be made clear our Clients can only pay out a percentage of their profits, not fraudulent revenue.
Reminder: No affiliate can earn commission from his/her play or that of their immediate family.
