GENERAL
What is an affiliate program?
An affiliate program allows you to promote Smart Live Casino on any websites that you own. For you
to effectively promote our products we provide everything you need including banners, text links,
email newsletters, and more. When a user or member of your site clicks on our banners of links
they will automatically be referred to smartlivecasino.com. If your customer then goes on to sign up
for a real money account you will earn commission (terms and conditions apply). It really is that
simple!
Is my site eligible to promote Smartlivecasino?
The affiliation program is opened to all kinds of websites. However the company reserves the right to refuse any website containing explicit content or language, pornography or supporting violence and discriminatory groups. When assessing websites we look for relevance and therefore, may ask for more details before approving a site that is not directly related to gambling.

What is a super affiliate and a sub affiliate?

REPORTING & TRACKING
What is an Affiliate tracking code?
When you register for the Smart Live Affiliate Partner Program, when you log into your account and select your marketing material, your unique tracking code/link will automatically be embedded into the creative HTML link. All you need to do is to add that to your site.
The Affiliate tracking code is related to your individual user profile, and is how the Smart Live Affiliate Program identifies your account. Therefore, whenever you create a link on your website to Smart Live Casino you must use this affiliate tracking code. It is very important that you use the correct Affiliate tracking code, because this is how the Affiliate Partner Program tracks that a visitor to Smart Live Casino was referred to us by your site.
Please note: If you do not use this code we cannot track your customers. If you have multiple sites in your network, each site will have its own Affiliate tracking code that must be used only by that particular site.
When do I start making money?
Once you have become an Smart Live Affiliate Partner (if you have not currently signed-up with us, then please visit our registration form), you will need to set up your creative or links so that you can start referring players from your site to Smart Live Casino.
When visitors to your site click on any of your links or creative to Smart Live Casino, they will be tracked automatically by our system. Once this customer has opened up a real money account and met the requirements as set out according to your selected commission plan you will see your relevant commission showing as pending in your Smart Live Affiliate Program account. The amount of commission will depend upon the commission plan you select at the time of opening your Smart Live Affiliate account.
When do I get a payment?
The timeframe for the commission calculation is a financial period. A financial period corresponds to a calendar month. Any commission due is paid out into your account by the 20th of each month for the previous month's activity.
How can I track my performance and how much I am earning?
You have access to a wide set of daily updated reports and statistics across all Smartlivecasino products. By logging into your personal account with your username and password you can access important information about your site’s performance including clicks, registrations, first time depositors, net revenues and commissions earned.
How long is the cookie duration?
The length of the cookie is 60 days.
My statistics do not seem to reflect the number of players I think I have referred?
1. Check that the link and the Affiliate tracking code are correct.
2. Remember that you will only be paid for referring new Smart Live Casino customers. If a referred player is already a Smart Live Casino customer, then there is no payment.
Please note: The database serving the online statistics interface is updated every 24 hours.

What if the revenue is negative?
If at the end of the 4 weeks financial period an affiliate’s net revenue has a negative value, this will be set to 0 at the beginning of the next month. Smartlive operates a no-negative carry over policy on commissions.
Is there any start-up or hidden fee?
There are no charges for joining the Smartlive affiliate program.
My Net Player Revenues have decreased from the previous month. What happened?
This means that one or more of the players you have referred to the casino have won in the online games. This may seem negative for you in the short term, but that's the way a casino stays successful in the long term. Winning players are happy players that are likely to play at the casino for a long period of time, and generate revenue for you.
