Your traffic & players
Share of clicks that become first-time depositors. Targeted iGaming traffic: usually 2–8%.
How many times per month an average active player deposits. Casino: 3–8, sports: 2–5.
NGR as a share of net deposits - the shorthand affiliates use instead of modelling turnover. Casino: 25–45%, sportsbook: 20–35%.
Commission models
Percentage of active players who stop depositing each month. Affects RevShare long-term.
Projected earnings
How iGaming commission models work
RevShare
You earn a percentage of the operator's net gaming revenue (NGR) from your referred players. Best for long-term, high-value traffic.
CPA
You earn a fixed one-time payment per first-time depositor. Best for high-volume, low-retention traffic. Predictable income.
Hybrid
Lower CPA upfront + lower RevShare ongoing. Balances immediate cash with long-term upside. Most operators offer this.
Key terms
NGR (Net Gaming Revenue) = total player deposits minus winnings minus bonuses. This is the operator's gross revenue from which your RevShare is calculated.
FTD (First-Time Deposit) = a new player who makes their first real-money deposit. CPA is paid per FTD.
NGR margin = net gaming revenue as a share of net player deposits. A practical shorthand affiliates use instead of modelling turnover and house edge directly - casino is typically 25–45%, sportsbook 20–35%.
Churn = percentage of active players who stop depositing each month. Higher churn reduces RevShare earnings over time, while CPA is unaffected.
Negative carryover = when a player wins big, the operator may carry the negative balance to next month, reducing your RevShare. Some programs have no negative carryover - always check terms.

CPA, RevShare and hybrid - what you are actually choosing between
Under CPA (cost per acquisition) the operator pays a fixed amount for each player who makes a qualifying first deposit, and owes nothing after that. Under RevShare the operator pays a monthly percentage - commonly 25–45% - of the net gaming revenue that cohort of players generates, for as long as they keep playing. A hybrid pays a smaller CPA up front plus a smaller ongoing RevShare. This calculator projects each structure from the same traffic assumptions so you can see which one pays you more over the deal's life, not just in month one.
The inputs that decide it
Three numbers move the answer more than any other: monthly churn (what share of players stop each month), average net deposits per active player, and the NGR margin - net gaming revenue as a percentage of those net deposits. High churn and modest deposits favour taking the money up front with CPA. Low churn, high deposit value and a healthy margin make RevShare compound into the larger total. Hybrid is the sensible default when retention is genuinely unknown.
What it does not model
Negative carryover (a losing month reducing next month's RevShare) is a separate calculation - use the negative carryover tool for that. The projection also assumes the operator pays on time and reports NGR honestly, that the deal terms do not change, and that your traffic quality holds steady over the projection window. Shorten the window if any of those are shaky.
