You may only link to the SCOREBET Websites by using approved promotional material (for example, banners, html mailers, editorial columns, images and logos), which we will provide to you via the Affiliate dashboard, email or shared folder.
In the event that new products are added to the SCOREBET Websites, we reserve the right to determine whether these products should form part of this Agreement and be included in the calculation of Referral Commission.

3.1 The Referral Commission Structure
Subject to clause 5 and the exceptions as listed in this clause 3 read together with any other sections of this Agreement that apply to Referral Commission, you will earn the Default Referral Commission calculated as set out in clause 3.2. However, in certain cases, at our sole discretion, we reserve the right to enter into a Cost per Acquisition payment plan (“CPA Payment Plan”) or even a hybrid model made up of a combination of the Default Referral Commission Structure and CPA Payment Plan which will be communicated to you in writing if we elect to do so.
We reserve the right to change the Default Referral Commission Structure or CPA Payment Plan (including the amount of your commission percentage and method of calculation) at any time by providing you with at least 15 days written notice. Upon expiry of the 15-day notice period, the new Referral Commission Structure will automatically apply to all new and existing active Customers. If you do not agree to the change then you may terminate this Agreement by notifying us in writing in accordance with clause 4.1.
Where any Customer’s account is inactive for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months, then such account shall no longer qualify for Referral Commission.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Profit” is defined as, monies received by us each month in respect of all settled bets (excluding bets related to products that we reserve the right to exclude as set out in clause 2.1 and 3.5) made by Customers after deducting: (i) monies paid out to Customers as winnings; (ii) monies paid in the form of betting duties, taxes or fees (or reasonable provisions in respect thereof); (iii) bad debts; (iv) fraud; (v) returned stakes; (vi) transactions which are reversed by instruction from the card-holder’s bank (commonly referred to as charge-backs); (vii) voids and (viii) bet/deposit bonuses.
3.2 Default Referral Commission Structure
Upon registration, you will be placed on this Default Referral Commission Structure and subject to other sections of this Agreement relevant to Referral Commission, you will earn a Referral Commission based on the tier you fit into (using the below table) determined by the number of First Time Deposits (“FTDs”) in a month. For the purposes of clarity, you can move between the different tiers on a month-to-month basis based on the number of FTDs in each particular month. You will earn the applicable commission percentage based on the Net Profit (as defined in clause 3.1) we earn each month from Customers directed from your website after they open an account with us and wager for money on any of the SCOREBET Websites.

If the overall Net Profit (defined in clause 3.1) is negative in a particular month, this will result in a negative Referral Commission for that month which will be deducted from any positive Referral Commissions as and when available.
We reserve the right to review and alter the commission percentage tiers and number of FTD’s on a monthly basis.
3.3 CPA Payment Plan
As noted in clause 3.1, we may choose, at our sole discretion, to enter into a CPA Payment Plan or hybrid model made up of a combination of the Default Referral Commission Structure and CPA Payment Plan which will be communicated to you in writing if we elect to do so.
In the event that we choose to enter into either a CPA Payment Plan or hybrid approach, we will issue the related calculations and terms and conditions covering such payment plan and you understand and agree that your participation in such plan will be subject to the amended terms and conditions, as may be applicable.
3.4 Payment of Referral Commission
We will pay the Referral Commission earned by you for the previous calendar month by the 15th working day of each month, subject to exchange control limitations as set out further below where applicable.
Unless otherwise agreed, Referral Commission will only become payable once it reaches an amount of R500. If a month’s Referral Commission is below R500, the Referral Commission will be carried over to subsequent months until Referral Commission reaches the minimum amount of R500.
Referral Commission must be invoiced, and the invoice description must include “Affiliate Advertising Commission”. All invoices must be issued on a monthly basis provided it meets the minimum Referral Commission amount payable.
We reserve the right to perform audits on your account, and any overpayments will be recouped from positive Referral Commission when available whilst any underpayments must be added to the next invoice.
All payments due to you are based on our own statistics, records, and calculations. All decisions made by us regarding the tracking, calculation or payment of your Referral Commission or other payments shall be made by us in our sole discretion.
3.5 Payment exclusions
Payment of Referral Commission is subject to a number of exclusions in other clauses that may limit, reduce or even prevent such payments. By way of example, the following situations may, inter alia, result in a payment exclusion:
Incentivised traffic;
Fraudulent activity;
