Affiliate Program Agreement
Operating Agreement
This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an individual's or entity's participation in the win4real.com / SPORTSBETTING.COM
Affiliate Program (the "Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we" means Interactive Systems Inc, and "you" means the applicant. "Site" means
a World Wide Web site and, depending on the context, refers either to SPORTSBETTING.COM's site, located at the URL www.sportsbetting.com, win4real.com's site, located
at the URL www.win4real.com or to any site that you will link to our site (and which you will identify in your Program application).
1. Enrollment in the Program
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a complete Program application via our site. We will evaluate your application in good faith and your application
will be deemed accepted by us if we do not notify you of your rejection within four business days of your submission. We may reject your application if we
determine (in our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include those that:
- promote violence
- promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
- includes "sportsbetting", "win4real" or variations or misspellings thereof in their domain names
- otherwise violate intellectual property rights
If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time. You should also note that if we accept your application and your
site is thereafter determined, in our sole discretion, to be unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this Agreement.
2. Links on Your Site
Once your site has been accepted into the Program, you may provide on your site one or more of the following types of links to our site:
Banner Link to SPORTSBETTING.COM or win4real.com Home Page:
You may provide a banner link on your site to our home page at http://www.sportsbetting.com or http://www.win4real.com
Text Link to SPORTSBETTING.COM or win4real.com Home Page:
You may provide a text link on your site to our home page at http://www.sportsbetting.com or http://www.win4real.com
Forwarding Link to SPORTSBETTING.COM or win4real.com Home Page:
You may provide a forwarding link [a link which automatically forwards visitors to our Site when the visitor types in your URL into their web browser] on
your site to our home page at http://www.sportsbetting.com or http://www.win4real.com
We will provide you with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in linking to our home page. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee
accrual, we will provide you with special "tagged" link formats to be used in all links between your site and our site. You must ensure that each
of the links between your site and our site properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to our site placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement
and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as "Special Links." You will earn referral fees only with respect to activity on our
site occurring directly through Special Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use Special Links, including to the extent
that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.
3. Wagering Services
We will provide Wagering Services to customers who follow Special Links from your site to our site. We will reject potential customers under 18 years of
age. We reserve the right to reject customers who do not comply with any requirements that we may establish periodically. We will be responsible for all aspects
of the Wagering Services. Among other things, we will accept wagers, payout winnings, process payments and handle customer service. We will track House
Win from customers who access the Wagering Services by using Special Links from your site to our site and we will make available to you reports summarizing
this sales activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time in our discretion.
4. Referral Fees
We will pay you (in accordance with Sections 5 and 6 below) referral fees on House Win derived from the Wagering Services offered to third parties. For
a customer's use of the Wagering Services to be eligible to earn you a referral fee, the customer must follow a Special Link from your site to our site, join
our site, wager using our automated wagering system and submit full payment to us with no subsequent chargebacks. We will not, however, pay referral fees
on any Customer who was a member of our site before he followed a Special Link from your site to our site.
You may not access our Wagering Services during sessions initiated through the links on your site for your own use, for resale or commercial use of any
kind. This includes placing wagers for customers or on behalf of customers, friends, relatives, or associates in any manner. Such use of the Wagering Services
may result (in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees or the termination of this Agreement. Customers from whom you are eligible to
earn referral fees under the rules set forth above are referred to as "Qualifying Customers."
In addition, you may not: (a) directly or indirectly offer any person or entity any consideration or incentive (including, without limitation, payment of money
(including any rebate), or granting of any discount or other benefit) for using Special Links on your site to access our site (e.g., by implementing any "rewards" program
for persons or entities who use Special Links on your site to access our site);
(b) read, intercept, record, redirect, interpret, or fill in the contents of any electronic form or other materials submitted to us by any person or entity;
(c) in any way modify, redirect, suppress, or substitute the operation of any button, link, or other interactive feature of our site; (d) join our Site,
access our Wagering Services, or engage in other transactions of any kind on our site on behalf of any third party, or authorize, assist, or encourage any
other person or entity to do so; (e) take any action that could reasonably cause any customer confusion as to our relationship with you, or as to the
site on which any functions or transactions (e.g., joining, placing wagers, playing the casino games, and so on) are occurring; (f) post or serve any advertisements
or promotional content around or in conjunction with the display of our site (e.g., through any "framing" technique or technology or pop-up windows),
or assist, authorize, or encourage any third party to take any such action; (g) attempt to make any warranties on our behalf or attempt to bind us into
any obligation, or (h) engage in any form of spamming or any other marketing technique that is generally frowned upon by the legitimate internet community.
If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have engaged in any of the foregoing activities, we may (without limiting any other rights or remedies
available to us) withhold any referral fees otherwise payable to you under this Agreement and/or terminate this Agreement.
5. Referral Fee Schedule
You will earn referral fees based on Qualifying Revenues from any single calendar Month according to the referral fee schedules to be established by us. "Qualifying Revenues"
shall mean the total amount wagered by Qualifying Customers on our Site in the casino and the sportsbook, minus the total amount paid out to Qualifying Customers as winnings in the
casino and the sportsbook, less sign-up bonuses, promotional bonuses, merchant banking fees, chargebacks and other related fees.
Qualifying Revenues shall not include activity from Qualifying Customers in our poker services.
In any Month in which Qualifying Revenues are negative, this negative balance will be carried over to future months. The current referral fee schedule is:
In any Month when you achieve Qualifying Revenues above US$0 but less than or equal to US $25,000 we will pay you 25% of these Qualifying Revenues.
In addition, in any Month when you achieve Qualifying Revenues above US $25,000, we will pay you a total of 30% of the incremental Qualifying Revenues over US $25,000 but less than or equal to US $75,000.
In addition, in any Month when you achieve Qualifying Revenues above US $75,000, we will pay you a total of 35% of the incremental Qualifying Revenues over US$ 75,000 but less than or equal to US $250,000.
In addition, in any Month when you achieve Qualifying Revenues above US $250,000, we will pay you a total of 40% of the incremental Qualifying Revenues over US $250,000.
As an example, if Monthly Qualifying Revenues amount to US $28,000 your referral fee will be computed as follows:
Schedule | Referral Fee |
US $25,000 x 25% | US $6,250 |
US $3,000 x 30% | US $900 |
6. Referral Fee Payment
We will pay you referral fees on a monthly basis. Approximately 20 days following the end of each calendar month, we will send notification of your referral fees earned on Qualifying Revenues and once you reply we
will send you a check or e-transfer for the amount. However, if the referral fees payable to you for any calendar month are less than $100, we will hold payment until the total amount due is at least $100.
In calculating referral fees, we will deduct the corresponding referral fee from your next monthly payment if Qualifying Revenues are negative or if a Qualifying Customer subsequently charges back any previous deposits that generated a referral fee.
In circumstances where we believe, in our sole discretion, that there is fraud involved, and there is no subsequent Qualifying Revenues, we will send you a bill for your negative balance.
You must collect your referral fees within six months of when they are earned or your positive referral fee balance will revert to $0.
7. Policies and Pricing
Customers who access our Site and use our Wagering Services through this Program will be deemed to be customers of SPORTSBETTING.COM / win4real.com.
Accordingly, all SPORTSBETTING.COM / win4real.com rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning game play, customer wagers and customer service will
apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we will determine the odds to be offered in the
