iGaming Affiliate Commission Benchmark 2026

By Ray Truelead, Head of Affiliates · Published 2026-08-19 · Last updated 2026-08-19 · Data verification date: 2026-08-19

Most public "commission comparison" content in this niche restates marketing copy without saying where a number actually came from or when it was last checked. This page does the opposite: every figure below states its source, the date it was checked, and one of four explicit data-quality labels. Where we couldn't verify a number, we say so instead of guessing.

Methodology

We classify every data point into one of four categories:

Verified first-party — confirmed directly by the program's own team or the program's own published terms.
Publicly available — stated on the program's own public-facing marketing page, but not independently confirmed by the program's team.
Third-party reported — reported by affiliate-program aggregators/review sites rather than the operator itself; treated as directional, not authoritative.
Requires verification — no reliable figure found; the field is left blank or marked "Not publicly disclosed" rather than estimated.

For DBBET Partners, figures are sourced from direct confirmation by DBBET's own affiliate team and DBBET's own published terms (see our DBBET Affiliate Program page). We have no first-party access to any other program listed here, so every other row is sourced from third-party aggregator sites, cited individually below the table. Where different sources reported meaningfully different numbers for the same program, we show the reported range and flag the disagreement rather than pick one figure — that disagreement is itself a real, useful data point about how opaque these programs' public terms are.

Definitions

CPA (Cost Per Acquisition)

A fixed, one-time payment for each qualifying referred player, usually triggered by a first deposit. See What Is an iGaming Affiliate Program?

RevShare (Revenue Share)

An ongoing percentage of a referred player's net gaming revenue, paid for as long as they stay active. See What Is RevShare?

Hybrid

A combination of a (usually smaller) upfront CPA plus an ongoing (usually reduced) RevShare on the same player. See CPA vs RevShare vs Hybrid.

Comparison table

Program	RevShare	CPA	Payment	Data type	Date checked
DBBET Partners	Up to 55%	Up to $110	Weekly ($30 min) or Monthly ($100 min)	Verified first-party	2026-08-19
Mostbet Partners	30%–60% (reported range)	$20–$220 (GEO-dependent, reported range)	Weekly standard; $50 min	Third-party reported	2026-08-19
Parimatch Affiliates	Up to 45% (reported)	Up to $300 Tier-1 / up to $150 Tier-2–3 (reported)	Monthly (RevShare) / twice-monthly (CPA); $100 min	Third-party reported	2026-08-19
Royal Partners	20%–60% (sources disagree)	$90–$700 (sources disagree significantly, GEO-dependent)	Weekly (CPA) / monthly (RevShare) per most sources	Requires verification	2026-08-19

All figures are headline/maximum rates as reported by the cited sources. Actual negotiated rates vary by affiliate, traffic volume, quality and GEO for every program listed, including DBBET.

Sources

DBBET Partners — direct confirmation from DBBET's Head of Affiliates; partnersdbbet.com/terms. Checked 2026-08-19.
Mostbet Partners — statsdrone.com affiliate-program review; Mostbet's own regional affiliate marketing page (mostbet-ind.in/affiliate-program/ — domain not confirmed as the primary official Mostbet Partners site). Checked 2026-08-19.
Parimatch Affiliates — multiple third-party aggregator listings (including 15m.com and affcatalog.com affiliate-program directories) reporting broadly consistent figures. Attempted to fetch Parimatch's own official affiliate domain (pmaffiliates.com) directly but it returned an access-denied response, so this row could not be upgraded to publicly-available/first-party. Checked 2026-08-19.
Royal Partners — multiple third-party aggregator listings (including affcatalog.com and 15m.com affiliate-program directories) reporting significantly inconsistent CPA figures ($90–$700) depending on source and GEO tier. Attempted to fetch Royal Partners' own official domain (royal.partners) directly but it returned an access-denied response. Checked 2026-08-19.

Limitations

We had first-party access to DBBET's own terms only. Every other program's figures come from third-party aggregators, not the operator directly — several of those aggregators' own numbers disagreed with each other, which we've shown as a range rather than resolved by guessing.
Two operators' official affiliate domains (Parimatch, Royal Partners) blocked automated access, so we could not independently confirm their aggregator-reported figures against the operator's own page.
iGaming affiliate commission rates are typically negotiated per affiliate based on traffic volume, quality and GEO — the figures shown are headline/maximum rates, not what any specific affiliate is guaranteed to receive.
This benchmark currently covers four programs. We'll expand it over time as we're able to independently verify more programs' terms, rather than padding the table with unverified rows.

Methodology notes

Affiliate terms in this industry change frequently and are rarely published as a single authoritative figure — this is precisely why every row above carries its own "Date checked" rather than one blanket update date for the page. If you're citing this page, please cite the specific row's date and source rather than the page's general "Last updated" date, since different rows were verified through different means and carry different confidence levels.

FAQ

Why do sources disagree on some programs' rates?

Most iGaming affiliate programs negotiate rates individually by GEO, traffic volume and quality, and rarely publish one single official number. Third-party aggregators often report different figures because they're citing different negotiated deals or different points in time. Where our sources disagreed significantly, we show the range and flag it rather than pick one number.

Is DBBET's data on this page more reliable than the other programs' data?

For DBBET, we used first-party confirmation directly from DBBET's own affiliate team and published terms, which is why it's labeled verified first-party. For every other program, we relied on third-party aggregator sources because we had no first-party access to their programs — this is stated plainly in the table's Data Type column for every row.

How often is this benchmark updated?

Affiliate commission terms change frequently and are often renegotiated per affiliate. We recommend treating the Date Checked column as the authoritative freshness signal and confirming any figure directly with the program in question before relying on it.
