Ricky Casino Affiliate Programme: Earning Commission on AU Player Referrals
The Ricky Casino affiliate programme lets publishers — casino review sites, comparison blogs, YouTube channels, social accounts and email lists — earn a share of the revenue generated by the Australian players they refer. Payouts are calculated in AU$ and processed monthly.
This page covers how the programme works, what the commission structure looks like, and what AU-focused affiliates should know before they apply.
What the Programme Offers AU Publishers
Ricky Casino's affiliate programme operates on a straightforward model: you send players, they deposit and play, you earn a percentage of the net gaming revenue (NGR) those players generate. The programme is managed through a third-party affiliate platform that provides real-time tracking, click and conversion dashboards, and monthly statements.
The core offering for new affiliates is a revenue share arrangement, with rates scaling based on the number of active players you refer per calendar month. High-volume publishers generating consistent AU-market traffic can negotiate CPA (cost per acquisition) or hybrid deals with their affiliate manager.
There is no cost to join. You apply, get approved, receive your tracking links and promotional materials, then integrate them into your content.
Revenue Share Tiers: How Commission Scales
Revenue share is calculated as a percentage of net gaming revenue — that is, player deposits minus player withdrawals minus bonuses paid minus administrative fees. The percentage you earn increases as your referred player volume grows:
Active Players per Month | Revenue Share |
|---|---|
1–10 | 25% |
11–30 | 30% |
31–60 | 35% |
61+ | 40% |
Indicative rates only — confirm exact tiers with your affiliate manager on application, as they are subject to revision.
At a 30% revenue share, if your referred players collectively generate AU$5,000 in net gaming revenue in a month, your commission is AU$1,500. Revenue is measured net of bonuses, so a month where players claim significant reload offers will reduce your NGR base.
CPA and Hybrid Deals: When to Ask for an Alternative
A CPA deal pays you a fixed amount per first-depositing player referred, regardless of how long that player stays active. CPA rates for the AU market typically range from AU$80 to AU$120 per depositing player, depending on traffic quality and monthly volume commitments.
Hybrid deals split the structure: a lower CPA upfront plus a lower revenue share percentage on the same players. These suit affiliates who generate high-intent traffic (players likely to deposit immediately) but whose players tend to be short-term.
If you are running a review site with strong AU search traffic and consistent landing-page conversion, CPA is often the higher-value structure in months where player acquisition volume is predictable. If your traffic is more evergreen and players tend to stay active for months, revenue share typically pays more over the long run. Discuss your traffic profile with the affiliate manager at sign-up.
Negative Carryover Policy
The negative carryover policy determines what happens in a month where your players collectively win more than they lose — producing a negative NGR balance. Some programmes reset this balance to zero at the start of each month (no negative carryover); others carry it forward and deduct it from future earnings before commissions are calculated.
You should confirm the negative carryover policy directly with Ricky Casino's affiliate manager before you sign the agreement. The industry standard is negative carryover, but some programmes offer no-carryover deals for high-volume publishers. If you refer players across multiple brands, this clause has a material effect on your monthly earnings in a variance-heavy month.
Getting Paid: Methods, Minimums and Processing Times
Affiliate payments are processed monthly, typically within the first 10 business days of the following month. The minimum payout threshold is AU$100. Earnings below this amount roll over to the next month until the threshold is reached.
Payment methods available include bank transfer (AU bank accounts) and major cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT). Bank transfer is the most common choice for AU publishers — funds typically clear within 1–3 business days of the payment being sent.
No withholding tax is deducted by Ricky Casino from affiliate payments. Australian affiliates are responsible for declaring their affiliate income in line with ATO requirements. If your earnings are above the GST registration threshold (AU$75,000 per year), you may need to register for GST and include it in your invoices.
Tracking, Reporting and the Dashboard
The affiliate platform provides:
Real-time click tracking — every link click attributed to your sub-ID
Conversion funnel reporting — registrations, depositors and active players per campaign
Monthly NGR statements — detailed breakdown of player activity and commission calculation
Custom sub-IDs — tag individual placements (banner, text link, review page) to measure which content converts best
Most AU casino affiliates find that long-form review content (1,500+ words with genuine analysis of terms) converts at higher rates than generic "Top 10" list pages, particularly for players at the research stage.
