Cheddar Affiliates Registration

Affiliates begin by submitting an application via Cheddaraffiliates.com/registration.asp. The affiliate provider -- upon receiving your application -- evaluates and, as you would expect, can approve or refuse at its sole discretion,

Cheddar Affiliates is keen on user transparency as well as due diligence, and can go a long way to verify your authenticity. In some cases, we saw this affiliate program requesting AML/CFT documentation—e.g., UBO details, company articles, before paying commission to affiliates.

Cheddar Affiliates Commission Model

From our research, we saw that the default commission sits at twenty-five percent (25%) revenue share on Net Revenue accrued from your referrals.

Let us dig into the mathematics. Revenue gained from your affiliates are paid after deducting new customers minus winnings, bonuses, fees, fraud/chargebacks, taxes/duties, jackpot contributions, and third-party game licensing costs.

From what we saw, Cheddar Affiliates calculates its net revenue is daily and combined monthly. The program can also run CPA/CPC/CPL or Hybrid deals if expressly agreed.

But there are some distinct clauses we want you to take note of with Cheddar Affiliates:  

• Big Winner Policy: If a specific player wins more than €5,000 in a calendar month, that player is isolated; their negative revenue won’t affect other players that month. The negative balance carries forward only against that same player and stops after 12 months. Progressive wins are excluded from “Big Winner.”

• Reactivation credit: If a second affiliate materially re-refers and activates an inactive player (≥12 months), credit can shift to the second affiliate when identifiable (e.g., promo codes).

• Responsible gambling exclusions: Players who self-exclude within one month from registration are excluded from CPA/Hybrid CPA; however, Hybrid revenue share remains, and for pure CPA cases a flat 40% revenue share is applied for those players.

• CPA timing: First deposit must occur within 30 calendar days of registration for CPA to trigger; otherwise, no CPA is payable. Duplicates (e.g., Pay n Play matches) void CPA.

Cheddar Affiliates Payment

As is the tradition oin the casino affiliate industry, affiliates get paid once monthly. For Cheddar Affiliates, here is how it works. Your commissions after being curated are paid by the 15th of the following month, subject to a standard €500 minimum threshold (if not otherwise agreed).

To get paid, you are expected to submit an invoice. Typically, you must send this within a calendar year from the end of the month in which commissions were earned. If this timeline is exceeded, you may forfeit such payments.

What this means is balances below the threshold roll over to the next payment cycle. Again, this is the convention in the affiliate space.

We were, however, not too thrilled when we saw that this affiliate may withhold balances up to 12 months for verification.

Conclusion

Cheddar Affiliates offers a standard iGaming affiliate structure anchored by a 25% revenue-share default and support for bespoke CPA/Hybrid deals.

We will add that the Big Winner mechanism is affiliate-friendly, with Cheddar Affiliates placing a strong emphasis on compliance and due diligence. However, we will say that a minimum payout threshold of €500 is on the high side, especially if you are a small affiliate marketer.
