What is a sub-affiliate commission?

Earn a percentage of what the affiliates you refer earn, paid by the network on top and never deducted from them. How the model works and where it breaks.

The model

A sub-affiliate commission, also called a referral override, pays you a percentage of what the affiliates you introduced go on to earn. You refer another affiliate. They run their own traffic on their own deals. You receive a share of their commission.

Our sub-affiliate ceiling is up to 10% of a referred partner's commission, a programme maximum agreed per partner like every other rate.

Why it exists

Good affiliates know other good affiliates, and a recommendation from someone already running traffic beats any amount of outbound. The override buys that recommendation honestly, because it pays for a referral that keeps performing rather than for a signup.

It also compounds in a way direct traffic does not. A referred affiliate who grows takes your override with them, with no further work from you.

What it is not

  • It is not a pyramid. The override pays on real commission generated by real traffic. Nobody earns anything for recruiting alone, and there is no fee to join.
  • It does not survive a reversal. If the underlying conversion is reversed, the override on it unwinds too, exactly as the original commission does.
  • It is not a route around your own deal. Referring yourself, or an account you control, is the most common abuse and it is checked.
