Crickso Partners: Affiliate Terms and Conditions
These terms set out how the Crickso Partners program works: how partners join, how they are paid, what they may and may not do, and what happens if the rules are broken.
011. Introduction and acceptance
1.1 These terms are an agreement between Crickso ("Crickso", "we", "us") and the person or business that joins the Crickso Partners program ("the partner", "you").
1.2 By registering as a partner, using any referral link or marketing material, or accepting any commission, you confirm that you have read, understood and accept these terms.
1.3 These terms apply to all promotion of Crickso, including the casino and the sports section, on every channel you use. They also apply to any other brand or product Crickso launches, unless we tell you otherwise.
1.4 The latest version of these terms is always the one published on the Crickso partner page.
022. Definitions
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Partner account | Your account in the Crickso partner portal, where you see your referral links, reports and payouts. |
| Referral link | Your unique Crickso tracking link. Together with any promo code we give you, it is how a player is linked to you. |
| Player | A person who registers a Crickso account through your referral link or promo code. |
| Qualified player | A player who meets the rules in section 5. |
| Qualified active player | A qualified player who makes a deposit in a given month. |
| FTD | A player's first real-money deposit. |
| NGR | Net gaming revenue, as defined in section 6.3. |
| Weekly period | Monday 00:00 to Sunday 23:59, India Standard Time (IST). |
| Connected person | You, your relatives, household members, friends, colleagues, or anyone you pay or fund. |
| Sub-affiliate | A partner who joins the program through your sub-affiliate link. |
033. Joining the program
3.1 Individuals and businesses can apply through the registration form on the Crickso partner page.
3.2 You must give true, complete and up-to-date details, including your name, contact details and the channels or websites you will use to promote Crickso. You must tell us within 7 days if any of these change.
3.3 We review every application and may approve or decline it at our discretion, without giving a reason.
3.4 We work with partners whose channels have at least 5,000 subscribers, followers or monthly visitors and pass our quality checks. Smaller channels are accepted only with our written approval.
3.5 Each person or business may hold only one partner account. A second partner account is allowed only with written approval from Crickso. Unapproved extra accounts are merged or closed.
3.6 You are responsible for keeping your login details safe and for all activity on your partner account. We may ask you to turn on two-factor login. Crickso is not responsible for any loss if you share your login details with anyone.
3.7 After approval, you receive your referral link, a dedicated account manager and access to our marketing materials. Your account manager will set up a Telegram group with you to support your onboarding.
3.8 Crickso employees and their connected persons cannot join as partners without written approval from Crickso.
3.9 We may ask you to verify your identity before we approve your account or release a payout. Payouts are held until verification is complete.
044. Referral links and attribution
4.1 A player is linked to you when they register through your referral link, or with a promo code we give you.
4.2 If a player clicks more than one partner's referral link before registering, the last link clicked within 30 days before registration wins the player.
4.3 Once a player registers through your referral link or promo code, they are linked to you for as long as they play. A later click on another partner's link does not move the player away from you.
4.4 A player who registered without any referral link or promo code is never linked to a partner later.
4.5 If the same person opens a second Crickso account through your referral link or promo code, that account is a duplicate. It earns no commission for you or for any other partner.
4.6 Use only the referral links we provide, without changing them. You may add sub-ID tracking tags to your referral link to see which posts or channels perform best, as long as the link itself is not changed. We may update referral links from time to time, and if a link is broken, blocked or lost, we create a new one for you. Whenever we give you a new link, you must replace the old link on all your traffic sources.
4.7 Our tracking records are final for working out attribution and commission.
4.8 Players who do not register through your referral link or promo code, for example because a changed, broken or expired link was used, are not linked to you and cannot be added later.
055. Qualified players
5.1 A player counts as a qualified player only when all of these apply:
- They registered through your referral link or promo code.
- They made a real-money deposit of at least ₹300.
- They are a unique, genuine person with one Crickso account (one person, one account).
- They are not a connected person.
- They did not join through spam, fake accounts, paid sign-ups, or any attempt to cheat or defraud Crickso.
5.2 A qualified player becomes a qualified active player in any month in which they make a deposit.
5.3 Players who do not meet section 5.1 earn no commission and do not count towards your tier.
5.4 Crickso may refuse any player or close any player account at its own discretion. A closed account earns no further commission.
5.5 If you suspect that any of your players is involved in bonus abuse, fraud, money laundering or any other abuse, you must tell your account manager straight away. Such players earn no commission, whether you report them or we find them.
066. Commission
6.1 Revenue share only
We pay commission as a share of the NGR from your qualified players, for as long as they play. The same rate applies to the casino and the sports section. We do not offer CPA, hybrid or fixed-fee deals.
6.2 Tiers
| Tier | Qualified active players in the previous month | Revenue share |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1: Starter | 1 to 60 | 25% |
| Tier 2: Standard | 61 to 149 | 30% |
| Tier 3: Growth | 150 to 249 | 35% |
| Tier 4: VIP | 250 or more | 40% |
- Every new partner starts at Tier 1 (25%).
- Your tier for each month is set by the number of qualified active players you had in the month before, and applies to all your NGR for that month.
- Example: 120 qualified active players in October puts you at Tier 2 (30%) for November.
- Players who are not qualified (section 5) do not count towards your tier.
6.3 NGR
NGR is the net gaming revenue from your qualified players, as calculated by Crickso's tracking system.
Only settled bets count. Commission is calculated only on settled bets. Bets that are still open are counted in the period in which they settle.
We may change how NGR is calculated. We tell you at least 14 days before a change takes effect.
6.4 No negative carryover
If your NGR is negative in a month, it does not carry into the next month. Every month starts fresh at zero.
6.5 Custom rates
Any rate outside these tiers must be agreed with Crickso in writing. Account managers cannot agree rates on their own. If you are given a higher rate from the start and you do not bring qualified active players for 3 months, we may reset your commission to the basic rate of 25%.
Any change to your tier or rate applies only from the date it takes effect. It never changes commission you have already earned.
077. Sub-affiliates
7.1 You may invite other partners to join Crickso Partners through your sub-affiliate link.
7.2 For each approved sub-affiliate, you earn 5% of the commission that sub-affiliate earns. This does not reduce the sub-affiliate's own commission.
7.3 Every sub-affiliate must apply, be approved and accept these terms in their own name.
7.4 You may not register yourself, a connected person or a second account of your own as your sub-affiliate.
7.5 If a sub-affiliate's commission is held, rejected or reversed, your sub-affiliate earnings on that commission are held, rejected or reversed in the same way.
7.6 Your sub-affiliate earnings are added to your partner account automatically. Each sub-affiliate follows the same rules as every partner, including the minimum payout of US$30 and at least 5 active players (who have made a deposit and placed a bet) for their first payout.
088. Payments and withdrawals
| Item | Rule |
|---|---|
| Payment period | Weekly, Monday 00:00 to Sunday 23:59 IST |
| Payout day | Tuesday, once a week, for the weekly period that closed the Sunday before |
| Minimum payout | US$30, or the INR equivalent. For your first payout only, you also need at least 5 active players: qualified players who have made a deposit and placed a bet. Until the minimum is met, your balance rolls over to the next period |
| Currency | USD or INR |
| Payout method | Your Crickso player account only |
| Processing time | Up to 2 days from the payout date |
8.1 Payouts are made only to a Crickso player account in your own name.
8.2 If you change your payout details, the next payout waits 72 hours after the change, to protect you from account takeover.
8.3 Each weekly period is reviewed on the Monday after it closes and paid on the Tuesday (section 9).
8.4 You are responsible for any taxes due on your commission in your country.
8.5 If a payout is delayed by a technical problem, we pay it as soon as the problem is fixed.
8.6 Currency conversion: player activity is recorded in INR. If your commission is paid in USD, we convert INR to USD at the exchange rate in Crickso's tracking system on the day your weekly bill is created (Monday).
8.7 Overpayments: if we pay you more than you earned, for example through a technical or calculation error, we deduct the extra amount from your next payouts.
8.8 Balances below the minimum: if your balance has not reached the minimum payout (US$30, plus at least 5 active players who have made a deposit and placed a bet, for your first payout), we keep it for up to 12 months. If you meet the minimum within those 12 months, we may pay it, as long as your partner account shows login activity and your channel is still active. We may contact you to review it. Balances that still do not meet the minimum after 12 months may be forfeited.
8.9 Your Crickso player account: to receive payouts, you need your own Crickso player account. Open it directly on the Crickso website, not through your own referral link, or it counts as self-referral. Withdrawals from your player account follow Crickso's normal player withdrawal rules.
8.10 Figures in the partner portal: your clicks, players and commission in the partner portal may update with a slight delay. The final figures are confirmed at the Monday review and paid on Tuesday.
8.11 No payout fees: we charge no fees for payouts to your Crickso player account.
099. Review, holds, disputes and reversals
9.1 Weekly review: we review every weekly period on the Monday after it closes, before the Tuesday payout.
9.2 Holds: we may hold commission on some or all of your players while we review your traffic. We tell you the reason in writing.
9.3 Proof of traffic: when we ask, you must show where your players came from (posts, channels, groups or pages) within 7 days.
9.4 Disputes: you have 14 days from our written notice to dispute a hold or rejection. Send your dispute and any proof to your account manager in your partner group. We review it and reply within 14 days.
9.5 Reversals: if we confirm fraud, abuse or a breach of these terms after payout, we can reverse that commission up to 90 days after it was paid. We deduct it from your next payouts. If the partnership has ended, you must repay it within 14 days.
9.6 Our decision after review is final.
9.7 Payout statements: if you disagree with the amount of a payout, tell your account manager within 14 days of the payout, with your reasons. If you do not, the payout is final for that period.

16.4 No guaranteed earnings: we do not guarantee any level of players, revenue or commission.

16.7 Complaints: send any complaint in writing to your account manager in your partner group, with supporting proof. We review it and reply within 14 days. Raise disputes and complaints privately with us, not in public posts, channels or groups. We may refuse complaints that contain abusive language or false accusations.

16.14 No waiver: if we do not enforce any part of these terms at a given time, we can still enforce it later.

16.17 Your personal data: we use the personal data you give us as described in the Crickso Partners Privacy Policy.
16.18 Official contact only: Crickso contacts you only through your partner group and our official channels. We will never ask for your partner account password, login codes or any payment. If anyone claiming to be from Crickso contacts you in another way, or asks for these details, do not reply and report it to your account manager in your partner group.
1717. Agencies and companies
17.1 Who this covers: agencies, affiliate networks and companies that promote Crickso through their own publishers, websites or traffic ("agency"). All of these terms apply to agencies in full. This section adds the rules that apply only to agencies.
17.2 Insertion order: before an agency starts promoting Crickso, we agree an insertion order with it. The agency gives us its contact information and company details in the insertion order. The insertion order follows these terms. Where we agree different terms in an insertion order, the insertion order applies for that agency.
17.3 Commission: agencies are paid revenue share only, under section 6.
17.4 Payments:
- Payouts to the agency's Crickso player account are made every week, under section 8.
- We may agree a different payment method with an agency in its insertion order. With a different payment method, the payment cycle may also be different, such as once or twice a month.
- No invoice is needed. We release approved payouts directly.
- The minimum payout is the same as for every partner: US$30, or the INR equivalent. For the first payout, the agency also needs at least 5 active players who have made a deposit and placed a bet.
17.5 Review: we review agency traffic every week, as in section 9. Where an agency is paid monthly, we review each month before the payout.
17.6 Responsibility for publishers: the agency is fully responsible for every publisher, website and traffic source it uses to promote Crickso. Every rule in these terms applies to them. If we find fraud, duplicate accounts, self-referral or any other breach linked to any player or FTD the agency brings, we reject or reverse the commission on those players.
17.7 Paid traffic: paid advertising is not allowed, unless Crickso approves it in writing before it starts.
17.8 Data and proof of traffic: when we ask, the agency must share its traffic sources and where it promotes Crickso. This includes publisher details, sub-IDs, click data and any other information we need to check the traffic, within 7 days of our request.
17.9 If data is not provided: if the agency does not provide the data we ask for, or cannot prove its traffic, we hold its payouts. We may end the partnership and, in some cases, withhold unpaid commission.
17.10 Tracking integrations: where we agree it, we provide postback or server-to-server (S2S) tracking. Our tracking records are final for attribution and commission.
