Payouts & Payment Methods
How Affshares pays affiliates: monthly payout cycle, the high minimum threshold (€500 per brand), reconciliation & invoicing timeline, payment fees (incl. €25 wire admin fee), the 8% security reserve (up to 6 months), and when Affshares can withhold funds.
Monthly · Min €500/brand · 8% reserve · €25 wire fee
Affshares’ payout terms are detailed but operationally strict. The program pays on a monthly basis and applies a high minimum threshold:
you are paid only if the payable balance reaches at least €500 per brand (otherwise it rolls over to the next month).
The Terms also state a reconciliation period that can take up to 7 business days at the start of each month and impose invoicing rules that affect
when the money is actually released.
On the payment-method side, the Terms explicitly reference wire transfers and specify a €25 administrative fee for wires.
(Other payout methods are not clearly enumerated in the public Terms, so wire is the only method we can treat as “publicly confirmed”.)
Two policies have the biggest cashflow impact: (1) a rolling security reserve of 8% that may be withheld for up to 6 months, and
(2) broad rights to withhold/deduct amounts in cases of suspected fraud, chargebacks, credits, missing documentation, or other agreement breaches.

Exact rule / numbers |
What it means (practical) |
| Payout frequency |
Monthly payments (based on monthly accounting). |
Expect one payment cycle per month, not weekly/on-demand payouts. |
| Minimum payout threshold |
Payable only if the amount due is at least €500 per brand (otherwise rolls over).
|
This is a major barrier for smaller affiliates. Many will wait multiple months to reach the threshold—especially if traffic is split across brands.
|
| Reconciliation timing |
Reconciliation may take up to 7 business days at the beginning of each month.
|
Even if you “earned” the commission last month, final numbers may only be confirmed after reconciliation completes.
|
| Invoice requirement & pay window |
A valid tax invoice must be provided within the required timeframe (Terms describe an invoice timing window);
payment is then made within a stated time window after month end once invoice/compliance is satisfied.
|
If your invoicing is late or incomplete, payouts can be delayed. Build invoicing into monthly ops, especially for business entities.
|
| Payment method (publicly confirmed) |
Wire transfers are explicitly referenced in the Terms.
|
Treat wire as the only “confirmed” method from public documents. If you require e-wallet/crypto, confirm directly with your manager/platform settings.
|
| Wire admin fee |
Wire transfers are subject to an administrative fee of €25.
|
This directly reduces your net payout. The fee is especially painful at lower volumes (even once you clear €500).
|
| Security reserve |
A rolling security reserve of 8% of amounts due may be withheld for up to 6 months.
|
Cashflow impact is material: even after you clear the threshold, up to 8% may be held back, reducing your “time-to-full-cash.”
|
| Processing fees affecting RevShare base |
Certain user processing fees (e.g., credit card processing fees stated as 4%–6% of credit card deposits) may be deducted from Casino Net Gaming.
|
This doesn’t change your RevShare % directly, but it can reduce the net revenue base you are paid on (i.e., lower earnings vs gross assumptions).
|
| Withholding / deductions |
The Terms allow withholding amounts for suspected fraud, chargebacks/credits, missing supporting documents, or agreement breaches.
|
In iGaming, “withhold rights” are common, but the practical takeaway is: keep traffic clean, keep documentation ready, and track chargeback exposure.
|
Who this payout setup works best for
- High-volume affiliates who reliably clear €500 per brand monthly
- Affiliates comfortable with wire transfer accounting + invoicing workflows
- Partners who can tolerate an 8% rolling reserve without cashflow stress
- Teams with strong fraud/compliance controls (reduces withholding risk)
Where affiliates run into payout friction
- Balances stuck under €500 per brand (slow cashout)
- €25 wire fee meaningfully reduces net payout at lower volumes
- Reserve holdback delays full cash realization
- Missing/late invoices or requested documentation can delay payouts
- Chargebacks/credits can lead to deductions or withholding
Plain-English payout summary:
Affshares pays monthly, but you usually need meaningful volume: you must reach €500 per brand, may have up to 8% held back as a reserve for up to 6 months,
and wire payouts carry a €25 admin fee. This is why the program is typically a better fit for established iGaming affiliates than small publishers.
Visitor takeaway: Affshares’ payout system is clear but cashflow-heavy: a high threshold (€500/brand), reserve withholding (8% up to 6 months), and a €25 wire fee.
If you can clear the threshold consistently and run compliant, low-chargeback traffic, it’s workable; if you’re small or seasonal, expect slower and more “frictional” payouts.
