Crypto Casino Affiliate Programmes Compared

The crypto casino affiliate programmes worth joining in October 2026 fall into two groups: revenue-share programmes that pay a slice of net gaming revenue (EPC Affiliates, 79 Affiliates, Shark Partners, Legend Affiliates) and wager-based referral schemes run from inside a casino account (Stake and BC.Game). We read every programme’s own terms this month, and where a rate is not published we say so instead of guessing.

Our order rewards written terms, crypto payout options and a fair negative-balance rule. We may be paid by some programmes listed; that never changes a figure we quote.

Which programme suits which kind of site

No single programme wins for every publisher. A Nordic slots blog, a crypto Discord and a US-facing review site need different deals, so start from your traffic and read across.

What we checked before ranking anything

Every programme on this page was judged on documents it publishes itself: the affiliate terms, the commission page and the FAQ. Third-party directories were used only to find programmes, never as the source of a rate. Our review method sets out the full checklist; the short version follows.

• Commission in writing. A default rate in the contract beats “up to” marketing copy. EPC states 25%; Stake states 10%; 79 Affiliates leaves the figure to sign-up.
• Deductions. Bonuses, payment costs, gaming taxes and administration fees come off before your share is calculated. A programme that names its fee is easier to model than one that hides it in “other costs”.
• Negative balances. We note whether losses reset monthly, carry forward, or reset with exceptions.
• Payout route. Coins offered, minimum amount, invoice deadlines and the day of the month money is due.
• Brands and licences. Which companies run the casinos, which regulator licenses them and how a visitor can check the seal.
• Restrictive clauses. Brand-keyword bidding bans, social media approvals, clawbacks for self-excluded players and long withholding periods.
• Practical support. Countries accepted, sub-ID tracking, a named affiliate manager and how quickly reports update.

Three ways a crypto casino programme pays you

Revenue share on net gaming revenue

Revenue share pays a percentage of what the casino keeps from your referred players after costs. Gross gaming revenue is stakes minus wins. Net gaming revenue then strips out bonuses, payment fees, chargebacks, gaming taxes and, at most programmes, an administration charge. 79 Affiliates spells its formula out as stakes minus wins minus administration fee minus paid bonuses minus transaction costs and chargebacks minus gambling taxes and VAT, and explains that its administration fee covers licence, game provider and platform costs.

Here is how the deductions change a month. Suppose referred players generate EUR 18,000 in gross gaming revenue. Paid bonuses cost EUR 2,500, payment and chargeback costs EUR 600, and a hypothetical 20% administration fee on the remainder takes EUR 2,980. Net gaming revenue is EUR 11,920, and a 30% share pays EUR 3,576. Raise the fee to 40% and net revenue falls to EUR 8,940, cutting the same 30% share to EUR 2,682. That gap is why the fee line matters as much as the headline percentage.

CPA and hybrid deals

Cost per acquisition pays a one-off fee for each qualifying first depositor. It suits paid traffic, where you need cash quickly to fund the next campaign. The catch is quality control. Shark Partners’ terms let the operator adjust or decline CPA payments for players who churn immediately or show low-value play, and to make retroactive adjustments after payment. EPC Affiliates may refuse to pay CPA or hybrid commission for duplicate, self-excluded or disabled players, and counts only players who qualify within 30 days of registering. Under 79 Affiliates’ CPA plan, a player who earns you a CPA brings no revenue share unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

Wager-based referral commission

Stake and BC.Game do not share net revenue. They pay on the volume your referrals bet, multiplied by the house edge. Stake’s published casino formula is house edge times amount wagered, divided by two, times your commission rate, with a default rate of 10% and sports bets counted at a 3% theoretical edge. BC.Game’s referral pages describe commission as referral wager times house edge times 25%.

Take referred players who wager $40,000 on games with a 1% edge. At Stake the commission is 0.01 x 40,000 / 2 x 10%, or $20. At BC.Game the same volume pays 40,000 x 0.01 x 25%, or $100. Both figures are small next to a good revenue-share month, but neither can go negative when a player hits a big win, and both are paid out without waiting for month end.

For a deeper walk-through of these models, including sub-affiliate income, read our guide to how crypto casino affiliate marketing works.

Negative carryover: the clause that decides a bad month

When a referred player wins more than your other players lose, your month goes negative. What happens next differs sharply between programmes, and it matters most to smaller sites with a handful of active depositors.

• Reset every month. 79 Affiliates’ terms say a negative month is not carried over. FortuneJack Partners resets negative balances to zero on the 1st of each month. Legend Affiliates ring-fences a winning player the following month until that player is back in profit.
• Reset with exceptions. EPC Affiliates does not carry a negative month forward, but a player who generates negative net revenue of EUR 10,000 or more in one month is classed as a high roller, and that loss is offset against the same player’s future revenue only. Shark Partners sets negative balances from player winnings to zero, yet carries forward negatives caused by fraud or its High Roller Policy.
• Full carryover. Cloudbet’s affiliate FAQ states that it does not reset negative balances, so they carry from month to month.

Consider a simple case. One referred player wins EUR 9,000 net in March while the rest of your players produce EUR 4,000 of revenue, leaving the month EUR 5,000 negative. April then brings EUR 6,000 from your players. With a monthly reset, commission is calculated on the whole EUR 6,000. Full carryover means April starts at minus EUR 5,000, so you earn on just EUR 1,000.

Getting paid: coins, thresholds and timing

Currency choice changes what you actually earn. A commission counted in euros and paid in crypto is converted at payout, so you carry exchange risk only from that day. A commission earned and held in BTC moves with the coin’s price from the moment it is credited. USDT avoids price swings, but an ERC20 transfer costs network gas, which eats into small payouts. Keep a record of the value in your home currency on the day each payment arrives; your tax adviser will ask for it.

Invoicing rules also cost money when ignored. 79 Affiliates treats a month as forfeited if it is not invoiced within three months, and EPC Affiliates writes off commission left unclaimed with no invoice for twelve months. Both reserve the right to hold balances for up to 180 days while they investigate traffic.

The brands behind each programme and their licences

An affiliate’s income depends on players trusting the casino, so the licence matters to you as much as to them. Anjouan and Tobique Gaming Commission licences are confirmed through the seal on each casino site rather than a domain search. Curacao Gaming Authority licences are listed on cga.cw; after a portal breach in September 2026 the CGA said existing licences remain valid.

Full profiles sit on separate pages: EPC Affiliates, 79 Affiliates, Shark Partners, Stake Affiliates, BC.Game Partners and Legend Affiliates. Our programme directory sets the contract clauses side by side, including programmes not in the list above.

Regulatory risk sits with you too

Offshore licences let these brands operate, but they do not make every market fair game, and regulators increasingly look at the people sending traffic. Three examples from the past eighteen months show the direction.

• Sweden. Spelinspektionen banned Softon Ltd on 9 July 2026 and named all ten of its brands, adding that mirror domains do not change the decision. Rabocse SRL was banned on 18 August 2025, and its brands later moved to Exceptiosoft. On 12 May 2025 the regulator also banned EOD Code SRL (slotmonster.com) and Igloo Ventures SRL (luckypays.io, foxygold.com, skyhills.com). In December 2025 it ordered a Swedish media site, under a fine of 130,000 kronor, to stop running banners for foxygold.com and skyhills.com.
• Australia. Offering online casino games to Australians is an offence for the operator under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. The Gambling Reform Bill passed on 19 August 2026, and the ACMA says it bans activity-based affiliate commissions, with most measures applying from 1 January 2027. Revenue share and CPA on Australian traffic both fall in the firing line.
• Your own contract. 79 Affiliates forbids targeting any jurisdiction where gambling or its promotion is unlawful. EPC Affiliates pays no commission on products promoted where that is illegal, requires “18+ only” and “Terms and Conditions apply” on every advert, and asks for marketing to be clearly marked “#ad”.

Geo-blocking restricted countries, showing age and responsible gambling messages, and keeping a record of what you published are now basic hygiene. Our page on compliance for crypto casino webmasters covers each market in more detail.

Tracking, reporting and the people behind the portal

Commission terms only pay if clicks are attributed correctly. 79 Affiliates and EPC Affiliates both run their portals on MyAffiliates, a long-established affiliate platform that issues per-campaign tracking links and reports registrations, deposits and revenue by player. Cloudbet’s FAQ notes that its portal shows sign-ups and first-time depositors but not clicks or impressions, attributes players by last click, and uses a 30-day cookie. FortuneJack also states a 30-day cookie window, so a visitor who registers on day 31 earns you nothing.

Ask these questions in your first email to an affiliate manager:

• Which countries are restricted for each brand, and will traffic from them be paid or voided?
• Can I add sub-IDs to links so I can see which page or campaign produced each depositor?
• How often do statistics refresh, daily or in real time?
• Is the commission rate fixed, tiered by volume, or reviewed each quarter?
• Which bonus costs are deducted from my revenue, granted bonuses or only bonuses a player has converted to cash?

That last point is worth pressing. 79 Affiliates deducts only paid bonuses, which its terms define as bonus money a customer has wagered through or received as real money. Cloudbet says affiliates share the cost of all incentives and loyalty rewards given to referred players. Two programmes with the same percentage can therefore pay very different amounts on bonus-heavy traffic.

Programmes we checked but did not rank

Three more crypto-first programmes publish enough detail to compare, and our directory covers them in full.

• FortuneJack Partners advertises up to 70% commission, 30% on sports, no negative carryover and payment in BTC from 0.005 BTC by the 5th of each month. Sub-affiliates earn you 5% of the net revenue their players generate.
• Cloudbet Affiliates starts every new account at 25% of net gaming revenue, drops inactive affiliates to 10%, carries negative balances forward and pays in Bitcoin only.
• 7BitPartners offers 25% to 50% revenue share on NGR, CPA and hybrid deals, and up to 5% from sub-affiliates, across 7Bit Casino, KatsuBet and MiraxCasino. Its FAQ page could not be read from our test locations, so we hold back on payout details.

Shortlisting in one afternoon

1. List the five countries that send you the most organic visitors, then drop any programme whose brands restrict them or whose terms bar promotion there.
2. Download each remaining programme’s terms and copy four lines into a spreadsheet: default rate, deductions, negative balance rule and payout threshold.
3. Model one ordinary month and one month with a big winner, using your own deposit numbers rather than the programme’s examples.
4. Open three brands from each programme on a phone, check the licence seal and try the cashier, because your readers will.
5. Email the affiliate manager with the questions above and judge the reply as much on speed as on content.
6. Join two programmes rather than one, so a rate cut, a payment delay or a regulator’s ban at one of them does not end your income overnight.

Treat the result as a starting position. Programmes can change rates at short notice: EPC Affiliates gives five days’ notice of new commission rates, and 79 Affiliates reserves the right to change the payment plan without prior notice.

Clauses to read twice before you sign

• Brand bidding. 79 Affiliates, EPC Affiliates and Shark Partners all ban buying search keywords that match their brands without written permission.
• Social media. 79 Affiliates requires a signed Facebook addendum before you advertise there, and written consent for any other social platform.
• Dormant players. EPC Affiliates stops paying on a player who has not wagered for 60 consecutive days.
• Disputes. Shark Partners gives you 45 days from a statement to dispute it; after that the figure is deemed accepted.
• Termination. At 79 Affiliates no commission accrues on activity after termination, even from players you referred earlier.

Crypto casino affiliate programme FAQ

Which crypto casino affiliate programme pays the highest percentage?

On headline figures, FortuneJack Partners advertises up to 70% and Shark Partners and 7BitPartners up to 50%. Those are ceilings, not starting rates. The defaults written into terms are lower: 25% of net gaming revenue at EPC Affiliates and at Cloudbet, and 25% to 45% on Legend Affiliates’ tier table. Compare the deductions as well, because a 40% rate after heavy fees can pay less than 30% after light ones.

Is a no negative carryover policy always better for the affiliate?

For small and mid-sized sites, yes: one lucky player cannot wipe out the following months. Read the exceptions, though. EPC Affiliates carries a loss forward for a single player who loses the programme EUR 10,000 or more in a month, and Shark Partners carries negative balances caused by fraud or its high-roller policy. Cloudbet, by contrast, says plainly that negative balances do carry over.

Can I be paid my commission in Bitcoin or USDT?

Several programmes pay in crypto. FortuneJack pays in BTC with a 0.005 BTC minimum, Cloudbet pays affiliates in Bitcoin only, 79 Affiliates offers USDT on the ERC20 network or bank transfer, and EPC Affiliates pays by bank transfer or cryptocurrency with commission counted in euros. Stake and BC.Game credit your casino account, from which you withdraw in the coin you choose.

Do I need a registered company to join these programmes?

Not always, but expect paperwork. 79 Affiliates and EPC Affiliates ask for a company name at sign-up, EPC lists passports, utility bills and bank letters among its KYC documents, and Shark Partners and 79 Affiliates pay against invoices. Stake requires you to hold a Stake player account before you can register interest.

Can I send Australian or Swedish visitors to these casinos?

That is risky for both markets. Australia’s Gambling Reform Bill passed on 19 August 2026, and the ACMA says it bans activity-based affiliate commissions, with most measures applying from 1 January 2027. In Sweden, Spelinspektionen has banned several operators behind these brands, and every programme here forbids promotion where gambling or its advertising is unlawful.

Why do some programmes not publish their commission rate?

Many operators price each affiliate by traffic source and player value, so the rate is agreed after sign-up. 79 Affiliates says its default revenue share is discussed when you join, and Shark Partners publishes only maximums. When a rate is not on the programme’s own pages, we list it as negotiated rather than repeat figures from third-party directories.
