Partner
Agreement
Please read the agreement document below
before registering.
This Partner Agreement ("Agreement") contains the complete terms and
conditions between, Partner Gaming and the individual or organization
("Partner") participating in any of Partner Gaming's Partner Programs
("Program")
Execution by you of this Agreement as set forth below constitutes your
acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and will be a legally
binding agreement between both parties.
1. Enrollment in the Partner Network
To begin the enrollment process, you must submit a properly completed Program
application via Our Site. We will evaluate your application in good faith and
will notify you of your acceptance or rejection in a timely manner. We may
reject your application if we determine, in our sole discretion, that your
website is unsuitable for the Program for any reason, including, but not limited
to, inclusion of content on your Web site that we deem is in any way unlawful,
harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or racially, ethnically or
otherwise objectionable, which by way of example only, contains (i) sexually
explicit, pornographic or obscene content (whether in text or graphics), (ii)
speech or images that are offensive, profane, hateful, threatening, harmful,
defamatory, libelous, harassing or discriminatory (whether based on race,
ethnicity, creed, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical disability or
otherwise), (iii) graphic violence, (iv) politically sensitive or controversial
issues, (v) promotes schemes to manipulate the commission plan or otherwise
defraud partner gaming or it's hosted sites, or (vi) any unlawful behavior or conduct.
In this regard, you understand that we reserve the right to conclude that
your website is unsuitable in accordance with our standards, and we may come to
such a conclusion even if it is based upon our opinion or mere suspicion or
belief, without any duty to prove that our opinion or suspicion is well-founded
and even if our opinion or suspicion is proven not to be well-founded or if
others' sites have been accepted despite having the same or similar
characteristics as your website. You also understand that if we accept your
application, such acceptance shall not imply that your website does not meet one
or more of the criteria that would have permitted us to reject your application.
If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any
time. Partner Gaming accepts applications from the USA and CAN. All other
countries will be evaluated closely and reviewed on a case by case basis. Only
English websites will be accepted.
2. Promotion of Our Partner Relationship
In the event of your acceptance to the Partner Program, we will make
available to you, banner advertisements, button links, text links and other
links as determined by Partner Gaming which shall all link to program sites
(collectively referred to hereinafter as a "Link"), which you may display on
your Web site, provided you abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
In using the Links, you agree that you will cooperate fully with us in order to
establish and maintain such Links. All Partner Web sites shall display the Links
prominently throughout such sites. If during the term of this Agreement you wish
to place the Links on Web sites other than the Web sites which you have
previously reported to Partner Gaming and which Partner Gaming have approved
("Alternative Sites"), you shall be obligated to request and receive Partner
Gaming's permission for the placement of the Links on Alternative Sites. You may
not modify a Link, unless you have received prior written consent from Partner
Gaming to do so. We have the right, in our sole discretion, to monitor your Web
site at any time and from time to time to determine if you are in compliance
with the terms of this Agreement. Links in private areas of websites must be
disclosed to and approved by Partner Gaming. In the event that we determine that your use
of any Link is not in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, we shall be
entitled to take such measures as to render inoperative the Links used by you.
Further, the use of the Links is the only method by which you may advertise our
sites. You may not advertise our sites in any other way including, without
limitation, the use of spam e-mails. In the event that you desire to offer
certain incentives to potential Real New Players you are required to receive our
prior written approval for such incentives prior to your commencement of such
activity and in the event that you do not receive such approval and offer such
incentives, you shall not be permitted to receive any commissions generated on
account of Real New Players who have become such in connection with the
unapproved incentives.
3. Email Spam Policies
As an partner of Partner Gaming, you agree to comply with the requirements of
the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (the .Act.) in its distribution of email that contains
messaging regarding Partner Gaming. More specifically, email that meets this
criteria:
- May only be sent to recipients who have expressly agreed directly with
Partner, in advance, to receive such communications from the Partner.
- Must clearly and conspicuously identify that the message is an
advertisement or solicitation, unless recipient has given prior affirmative
consent to receipt of the message. Affirmative consent means that the
recipient expressly consented to receive the message either in response to a
clear and conspicuous request for such consent or at the recipient's own
initiative.
- Must clearly and conspicuously notify the recipient of the opportunity to
decline to receive further commercial email from the Partner.
- Must provide a valid physical postal address of Partner.
- Must provide a functioning return email address or other Internet-based
mechanism, clearly and conspicuously displayed, that a recipient may use to
submit, in a manner specified in the commercial email, a reply email or other
Internet-based mechanism a request not to receive future commercial email from
Partner. The return address or Internet-based mechanism must be capable of
receiving such messages for at least thirty (30) days after the transmission
of the original message. Partner may not send subsequent commercial emails
more than ten (10) business days after the recipient's request not to receive
further emails has been received (unless there is a subsequent affirmative
consent by the recipient to receive such emails.) Once Partner receives such a
request, Partner may not sell, lease, exchange or otherwise transfer or
release the email address of the recipient.
- May not contain materially false or materially misleading header
information, or deceptive subject heading.
- May not contain sexually oriented material.
In addition, before distribution of email that contains messaging regarding
Partner Gaming, Partner agrees (1) to send the email addresses of all intended
recipients of such email to Partner Gaming, or a third-party designated by
Partner Gaming, so that Partner Gaming may identify those individuals who have
notified Partner Gaming or any of its hosted brands, that they do not want to
receive emails from or about Partner Gaming, and (2) to suppress the email
addresses of those individuals, as identified by Partner Gaming
Partners may not initiate or assist in the transmission of commercial email
using an email address: (1) that was collected through automated means, from a
third party web site in violation of that third party's posted privacy policy,
or (2) that was generated through automated means by combining names, letters or
numbers into numerous permutations. Partners may not conduct fraudulent
activities related to electronic mail, including but not limited to the material
falsification of header or transmission information, the unauthorized use of
someone else's computer to send bulk commercial email, and the registration of
an email account that materially falsifies the identity of the actual
registrant.
Upon Partner Gaming?s request, the Partner shall provide Partner Gaming with
documentation demonstrating that the recipients consented to receive the email
at issue.
In addition, in the event of a breach of this Email/Spam Agreement by the
Partner and/or a third party or licensee, in addition to all other remedies
available to it, Partner Gaming or any of its hosted brands, shall have the
right to refuse to make payments to Partner and remove the Partner from the
program as a result of Partner's efforts promoting Partner Gaming or any of its
hosted brands, which efforts cannot be verified by the Partner as having
complied with the terms and conditions of this Email/Spam Agreement.
Partner agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Partner Gaming or any of its
hosted brands harmless from any cost, expense or liability arising out of any
breach or alleged breach of your obligations under this Email/Spam Agreement.
4. Our Responsibilities
We will be responsible for providing all information necessary to allow you
to make appropriate Links from your website to our sites. We will track the
number of Real New Players. A "Real New Player" is defined as a new user without
a prior account with Partner Gaming's programs (which includes an account with
any of the entities operated by Partner Gaming) who accesses our site through
the Links placed on your Web site, opens a new user account and makes the
required minimum deposit in such account. Neither you nor your relatives are
eligible to become Real New Players and should you or they do so you will not be
eligible to receive the relevant commission. For this purpose, the term
"relative" shall mean any of the following: spouse, partner, parent, child or
sibling.
5. Referral Fees
a. Subject to clause (b) below, we will pay you referral
fees only on US and Canadian sign ups with depositing of funds to any of the
entities operated by Partner Gaming to third parties. Your entitlement to a
referral fee will accrue only if the customer (I) accesses our sites through the
use of an authorized Link on your website; (II) before exiting our sites
registers and or deposits a minimum of $100 into the registered account(s) using our
Registration and/or deposit methods (III) wagers at least $100 at the designated entity. We will not, however, pay referral fees on any
services that a customer purchases after the customer has reentered the site
(other than through an authorized Link from your website), even if the customer
previously followed a Link from your website to Our Site or if the account is
deemed to be abusing bonuses or credit card privileges in ANY way. Note:
Sign ups have a join display delay of up to one minute.
b. If required minimum deposit is generated at any time
within a calendar month, you will be paid at the end of that applicable month.
Subject to Article 13 below, no payments will be accrued and paid on any other
following months.
Partner Gaming's measurements and calculations in relation to the number of
Real New Players and the relevant Gross Revenue figures shall be the sole and
authoritative tool, such measurements and calculations shall not be open to
review or appeal. Please be aware that 100% of all bonuses awarded to your
visitors will be subtracted from your net earnings at the end of the month prior
to paying out commissions. We shall make the number of Real New Players and the
relevant Gross Revenue figures available to you through our Partner Program
information site. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and fee accrual, you
must ensure that the Links between your website and our sites are properly
formatted throughout the term of this Agreement.

Gaming will pay you either:

For these purposes the term "net losses" shall mean the sum total of all of a
Real New Player's volume, less the winnings of a Real New Player, less any
credits, bonus or promotional amounts given to a Real New Player, less any
charge backs (including amounts paid as a result of credit card abuse or fraud,
or paid to a Real New Player by Partner Gaming to settle a claim involving the
allegation of credit card or other abuse or fraud) or any uncollectible revenue
attributable to a Real New Player. We hereby retain the right to convert the
commissions to be paid to you hereunder from a per Real New Player basis to the
Gross Revenue share scheme, as we shall see fit.
All commissions shall be paid to you on a monthly basis, within approximately
30 days following the end of each month, unless frequency specified otherwise.
Partner Gaming shall be entitled to set-off from the amount of commission to be
paid to you any associated costs related to the transfer of such commission. In
the event that the commission to be paid to you in any calendar month is less
than $200 (the "Minimum Amount"), Partner Gaming shall not be obligated to make
the payment until such time as the commission is equal to or greater than the
Minimum Amount. Partner Gaming retains the right to review all commissions for
possible fraud, where such fraud may be on the part of the Real New Player or on
your part, for example money laundering. The affiliate may not provide incentive
to new players in order encourage registrations, publish the minimum deposit
amount required for CPA payment or any other activity that undermines the intent
of this agreement.
Any incidence of fraud on your part constitutes a breach of this Agreement,
and Partner Gaming retains full authority to terminate this Agreement
immediately in the event of such breach.
Further, in the event that Partner Gaming deems that fraud has occurred,
either on your part or on the part of a Real New Player, you shall not be
entitled to receive any commissions which have accrued to your benefit at such
time whether such commissions were generated through fraud or otherwise. You are
urged to provide accurate details in regard to the manner and information
relating to your preferred method of receiving commissions and Partner Gaming
shall not be held liable for your delayed receipt of commissions due to your
provision of inaccurate details.
WARNING: If we suspect Partners to be signing up internally numerous
accounts for the purpose of defrauding Partner Gaming, we shall not pay the
relevant bonuses and we will terminate the Partner Agreement immediately.
7. Reports of Sales
You will use your pre-selected username and password and have the ability to
enter a password-protected web site to receive your sales statistics on a daily
basis.
8. Licenses and Use of the Logos and Trademarks
a. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable
right to (i) access our sites through the Links solely in accordance with the
terms of this agreement and (ii) solely in connection with such Links, to use
our logos, trade names, trademarks and similar identifying material relating to
us (collectively, the "Licensed Materials"), for the sole purpose of
establishing a Link to our sites so users of your website can subscribe to
Partner Gaming or any of the entities operated by Partner Gaming. You may not
alter, modify or change the Licensed Materials in any way.
b. Other than establishing a Link from your website to our
sites, you shall not make any use of any Licensed Materials without first
obtaining our prior written consent. You shall not use the Licensed Materials in
any manner that is disparaging or that otherwise portrays us in a negative
light. We reserve all of our rights in the Licensed Materials and of our other
proprietary rights. We, in our sole discretion, may revoke your license at any
time, by giving you written notice.

that makes reference to us without first submitting such material to us and
receiving our prior written consent, which we agree shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
10. Obligations Regarding Your Web Site
You will be solely responsible for the technical operation of your Web site
and the accuracy and appropriateness of materials posted on your Web site. You
agree that your Web site will not, in any way, copy or resemble the look and
feel of Our Site nor will you create the impression that your Web site is Our
Site or any part of Our Site. You also agree that your Web site will not contain
any content of Our Site or any materials which are proprietary to Partner
Gaming, except (i) with our prior permission, or (ii) materials obtained by you
via the Partner Program information site in accordance with the provisions
hereof or the policies or instructions therein. You will indemnify and hold
Partner Gaming harmless from all claims, damages, and expenses (including,
without limitation, attorney's fees and expert witness fees) relating to the
development, operation, maintenance, and contents of your Web site or any
materials, products or services linked to therein. You hereby acknowledge that
your conduct as an Partner shall reflect on Partner Gaming and has the potential
to cause substantial damage to Partner Gaming's reputation and goodwill and that
you shall at all times consider the goodwill and reputation of Partner Gaming
and Partner Gaming's name.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that the content of your website and
your products and services that you offer from your website comply with all
applicable copyright and other laws. You must have express permission to use
another party's copyrighted or other proprietary material. We will not be
responsible if you use another party's copyrighted or other proprietary material
on your website in violation of the law or any agreement, and your indemnity,
below, will protect us if you do so.
11. Term of this Agreement and Termination
The term of this Agreement will begin when you complete the sign-up procedure
and create a unique link to our sites and will be continuous unless and until
either party notifies the other in writing that it wishes to terminate the
Agreement, in which case this Agreement will be terminated immediately.
TERMINATION IS AT WILL, WITH OR WITHOUT REASON, BY EITHER PARTY. For purposes of
notification of termination, delivery via e-mail is considered a written and
immediate form of notification.
11.1 Consequences
Upon termination you must remove all of our banners/icons from your website(s)
and disable all links from your website(s) to ours. All rights and licenses
given to you in this Agreement shall immediately terminate. You will return to
us any confidential information and all copies of it in your possession, custody
and control and will cease all uses of our Marks.
11.2 Commissions
If under a CPA scheme, you will be entitled only to those unpaid referral
fees, if any, earned by you on or prior to the date of termination. You will not
be entitled to referral fees occurring after the date of termination.
If we continue to permit activity (generation of revenue) from customers
after termination, this will not constitute a continuation or renewal of this
Agreement or a waiver of termination. When enrolled under a net revenue scheme
you may be able to collect earnings from our program up to 6 months after the
date of termination.
We may withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the
correct amount is paid.
12. Modification
We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement at
any time and in our sole discretion. You will be notified by email and a change
notice will be posted on Our Site. Modifications may include, but are not
limited to, changes in the scope of available referral fees, referral fee
schedules, payment procedures and Program rules. If any modification is
unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to terminate this Agreement as
provided in Article 14; should you so terminate, the changes we have announced
shall nevertheless become effective unless we agree, in writing, to the
contrary. Your continued participation in the Program following our posting of a
change notice or new Agreement on Our Site will constitute binding acceptance of
the change.
13. Continued Promotion
You shall incorporate and prominently and continually display the most up to
date links provided by us on all pages of your website in a manner and location
agreed by us and you shall not alter the form, location or operation of the
links without our prior written consent. You are eligible for Referral
Commissions based upon your continued promotion of our site(s). We reserve the
right to reduce Referral Commission percentages if you reduce your efforts to
recruit new Customers. Your reduced or suspended promotion of our sites will be
deemed to represent your termination of this Agreement.
14. Relationship of Parties
You and Partner Gaming and any of the entities it represents are independent
contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint
venture, agency, franchise, sales representative or employment relationship
between the parties. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or
representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your
website or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Article.
15. Representations and Warranties

out of course of performance, dealing or trade usage). In addition, we make no

and the Partner Program will not exceed the total commissions paid or payable to
you under this Agreement.
