RevShare

What RevShare means

RevShare means revenue share. In affiliate operations it usually describes a percentage of the operator's eligible net revenue from the traffic an affiliate sent. The percentage is only the headline. The actual payout depends on how the operator defines net revenue, which costs are deducted, whether negative months carry forward, and whether the account must keep sending a minimum level of activity.

For search intent, the useful answer is this: RevShare is not "40% of deposits." It is a share of a calculated revenue base. That base is normally closer to NGR than to gross deposits.

Example

An affiliate sends traffic under a 35% RevShare deal. The referred cohort generates 20,000 EUR in gross gaming revenue during the month. The operator deducts bonuses, payment fees, taxes, chargebacks, and platform costs, leaving 12,000 EUR in eligible NGR. The affiliate commission is then 35% of 12,000 EUR, or 4,200 EUR, before any additional account-level adjustments.

If the same deal had a negative-carryover clause and the previous month closed at -3,000 EUR, that loss can reduce or erase the current month's payable amount. That is why a No Negative Carryover term can be as important as the RevShare percentage itself.

What changes the real value

Three factors usually matter more than the headline percentage:

• The revenue base: GGR, NGR, or another operator-defined base.
• Deductions: bonus costs, admin fees, payment costs, fraud, tax, or chargeback rules.
• Carryover and lock rules: negative carryover, dormancy, minimum FTDs, or retroactive changes.

A 45% deal with broad deductions and carryover can be worse than a 35% deal with clear reporting and no carryover. The comparison needs the agreement language, not just the sales line.

How BetLink uses the term

BetLink keeps RevShare close to the offer record, tracking link, postback status, and payout evidence. That matters because an affiliate dispute rarely starts with the percentage alone. It starts with a chain: which link sent the traffic, which postback arrived, what NGR was reported, which RevShare rule was applied, and whether the payout matched the agreement.

When comparing tools, RevShare belongs beside workflow evidence. A spreadsheet can store the percentage. A working affiliate operations stack needs the commercial term, attribution trail, and payout review in the same context.
