    Thank you for pointing this out. There has been a display mistake as that is not how we are calculating the net gaming revenue. The actual formula is as follows:

    Net Gaming Revenue: Cash bet – Cash won – jackpot contributions – payment processing fees.

    For UK players: Net Gaming Revenue: Cash bet – Cash won – jackpot contributions – payment processing fees - UK consumption tax.

    We have made the necessary change in the terms and conditions list already.

    Not me. But if they claim they're 7 years active in the online gambling industry, I would like to know with what projects then. They're colleagues Magic Red - also Aspire Global - reportedly have connections with Winner for example. It's good to know with who you're ding business.

    If somebody creates a 7-year-gap in the curriculum and doesn't want to say anything about the project....

    Cool so as I see it now besides the PSP there are no operational costs at all any longer?

    Basically this could mean that a player that deposits and purchases €100 chip and plays it on roulette* (so no bonus or progressive jackpot deductions) and loses it all results in roughly €90 net rev? (I deducted 10% for PSP)

    Can you confirm, as this will be a major change in the industry!

    Fee's are common as operations need to be paid of course. However some of the fees mentioned previously on the Wixstar affiliates site are a bit uhm "strange".... And seeing they removed them completely I have to assume they thought the same themselves...

    Hi,

    The ID checking fees, admin costs and operating costs are being covered by us, while the payment processing fees are deducted from the NGR.

    Hope this answers your question.

    The operational costs are being covered by us and do not affect the NGR. In the example you gave, yes, the net revenue should be around €90.

    Fees, Fees, Fees.. a lot of new programs jump in and offer huge % comms, it's tiresome we are no longer fooled, so why not just be straight up? I asked a question the other day to another new program on here and they were honest, the giant 50-60% comms shriveled into real value of 12% .. So answer me this Tom Signs up with you, he deposits €1000 takes a 50% bonus so has €1500 to play with (€500 of which is monopoly money at this point) Tom decides to roll high and put it all down on the roulette and loses every single penny (all €1500) so it's a 1500 gross profit, what is the typical or average earning for an affiliate on this amount? €1000 cash loss ?

    Default Bad conversion? Guess why....

    Uhmmm well....if you being an affiliate confronted with bad conversion, low player value or a short player-lifetime the following could be one of the reasons....

    Players reported to have received the following request* from Wixstars when they want to withdraw winnings:

    "A COPY OF YOUR IDENTITY OFFICIALLY AUTHENTICATED BY A LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE. (For example, your lawyer or notary)"

    Now we all know KYC is common and should be respected as it helps everybody "in the chain" but a casino asking a customer to go to a lawyer or notary to authenticate their ID is utter nonsense!

    And those guys claim to be "7 years in business and learned how to take care of players"?!?!?


    *Request is a translation from the original language players have received it in.

    Hi, in certain cases, our compliance department may ask for additional documents in order to prevent any potential fraudulent activity.

    Hi, in certain cases, affiliate managers have no clue what they're talking about and just lipsync the answer they've received from their R&F or payment department.

    Trust me if these where fraudulent cases or cases that a player had suspicious behavior I wouldn't even post it here. So there is no "in certain cases" that applies here. Next to that this has not been reported by one player only... So are trying to tell me that Wixstars is the lucky casino that attracts fraudsters?

    Listen Cristiana I'm not here to bash or badmouth programs, just working hard to clear morons and utter stupidity out of our industry!

    Back to the point, YOUR KYC REQUEST MAKES NO SENSE AND SCARES HONEST PLAYERS!

    Well my question above wasn't answered so I can only assume the true % earnings to be around the single to small double digits?

    Hi, so for this scenario the NGR would stand around €900, while for an UK player it would be €675 (due to consumption tax). Consequently, the actual earning will be calculated out of the NGR according to agreement.

    Vague answer ... I didn't ask about NGR either... let's say NGR is €900 but GGR was €10,000 I would feel short changed and wordplay doesn't convince me I'm getting a good deal, you are already trying to avoid answering me so I will assume you nail the affiliate pretty hard
