(i)             the right to suspend (for up to 180 days) any Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Programme for such period as is required to investigate any activities of the Affiliate that may be in breach of the Affiliate Agreement. During any period of suspension, payments of Commission will also be suspended;

Nothing contained in the Affiliate Agreement shall limit or affect any of our rights at law, or otherwise, for a breach or threatened breach of any provision of the Affiliate Agreement, the intention of this provision is to make clear that our rights shall be enforceable in equity as well as at law or otherwise.

  1. Commission and Payment

6.1           Payment of Commission shall be made through our Affiliate Wallet.  Due to regulations under The Malta Gaming Authority, partners may be required for verification and ‘know your customer’ documentation before a withdrawal can be accessed. If an error is made in the calculation of the Commission, MG reserves the right to correct such calculation at any time and will immediately pay out underpayment or reclaim overpayment made to the Affiliate.

6.2            The Affiliate’s acceptance of the payment of the Commission shall be deemed to constitute the full and final settlement of the balance due for the relevant period.

6.3            If the Affiliate disagrees with the balance due as reported, s/he shall notify MG within fifteen (15) days and state the reasons of the disagreement. Failure to notify MG within the prescribed time limit shall be deemed to be considered as an irrevocable acknowledgment of the balance due for the period indicated.

6.4           The Affiliate may, at the sole discretion of MG, be provided with the opportunity to restructure its commission structure. Examples of alternative commission structures could include a Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) model. However, and for the avoidance of doubt, only one type of Commission Structure for the same product may be applied at the same time. Therefore, once an Affiliate accepts MG’s offer to apply a new commission structure, different to the standard Commission Structure detailed in the Affiliate Agreement, the Affiliate hereby agrees and understands that the new proposed commission structure shall replace his existing commission structure in its entirety. Notwithstanding the above, the Affiliate’s obligations assumed under the Affiliate Agreement will still continue to apply to the Affiliate even if a new commission structure is applicable.

6.5           The Affiliate shall have the sole responsibility to pay any and all taxes, levies, fees, charges and any other money payable or due both locally and abroad (if any) to any tax authority, department or other competent entity as a result of the compensation generated under the Affiliate Agreement. MG shall under no circumstances whatsoever be held liable for any such amounts unpaid but found to be due by the Affiliate and the Affiliate shall indemnify MG in that regard.

6.6            If in any given calendar month, a player from any Affiliate generates negative commissionable revenue of at least €50,000 (fifty thousand Euro) then such player shall be deemed to be a high roller (“High roller(s)”). In calculating Commission for High Rollers; where commission earned by an Affiliate in relation to a High Roller(s) results in a negative amount in any calendar month then we shall have the right to carry forward any such negative amounts and the negative amounts will be applicable to and set off against any future commission payable to you in relation to the High Roller(s) until the negative balance has been fully set off against future positive commission. If any High Roller(s) has a negative commissionable revenue in excess of €50,000 (fifty thousand Euro) in the last calendar month prior to the current unbilled calendar month then this negative commissionable revenue will be considered as negative carryover and used to calculate Commission for the current unbilled calendar month.

  1. Modification of terms and conditions

We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in the Affiliate Agreement or replace it at any time and in our sole discretion by posting a change notice or a new agreement on our site. Modifications may include, for example, changes in the scope of available Commissions and Affiliate Programme rules.
