TL;DR: How affiliate income works
An approved publisher may earn under CPA, revenue-share or hybrid terms, but no model guarantees income. Qualification, deductions, tracking, markets, thresholds and termination clauses determine the result.
- Verify the programme entity and domain.
- Read commission definitions, not only rates.
- Disclose every commercial relationship.
- Obtain legal clearance before India targeting.
Can you earn from Aviator affiliate programmes?
Potentially, under an approved contract and qualifying traffic. Earnings depend on tracked events and payable commission after deductions. Programmes can reject traffic, reverse commission or terminate accounts under their agreements.
TERMINAL 01 · PROGRAMME DIRECTORY
Operator affiliate research files
Programme details and registration links are read from site-data/affiliate-programs.js. Keep a programme disabled until legal, contractual and disclosure review is complete.
TERMINAL 02 · COMMISSION MODELS
CPA, revenue share and hybrid
| Model | Basis | Uncertainty |
|---|---|---|
| CPA | Fixed qualifying action | Qualification and clawbacks |
| Revenue share | Percentage of net revenue | Deductions and carryover |
| Hybrid | CPA plus revenue share | Combined conditions |
A registration may not qualify. Deposit, activity, KYC, geography and anti-fraud rules can apply.
TERMINAL 03 · CONTRACT TERMS
Terms that change commission
Deposit, activity, KYC and territory.
Bonuses, taxes, fees and chargebacks.
Whether losses offset future periods.
Special allocation rules.
Minimum traffic and dormancy.
Notice and retroactive effect.
TERMINAL 04 · ATTRIBUTION
Tracking, cookies and reports
Check attribution window, click model, cross-device treatment, sub-IDs, timezone and duplicate-account rules. Clicks are not customers and dashboard estimates are not final invoices.
Reconcile clicks, registrations, depositors, net revenue and payable commission separately. Save campaign IDs and the terms that applied when traffic started.
TERMINAL 05 · PAYMENTS
Thresholds, invoices and currency
Verify payout minimum, frequency, hold, currency, conversion, fees, invoices, tax documents and permitted methods. A displayed balance may remain pending or below threshold.
TERMINAL 06 · INDIA COMPLIANCE
India targeting requires legal review
Gaming and advertising restrictions can depend on state, audience, channel, operator and offer and can change. Dashboard access does not establish lawful promotion.
Do not use guaranteed-win claims, predictor language, disguised ads, false urgency or content aimed at minors. Search, social, influencers, messaging and apps may have separate policies.
TERMINAL 07 · DISCLOSURE
Disclose compensation before action
State clearly that compensation may be received if a reader follows a commercial link or completes a qualifying action. Put disclosure near the comparison or CTA.
Compensation is not proof of operator safety, legality or suitability. Reviews must remain able to report warnings and remove links.
TERMINAL 08 · PUBLISHER RISK
Commercial and operational risks
Qualification is disputed.
Traffic breaches terms.
Restricted audience is reached.
Operator complaints develop.
Attribution fails.
One programme dominates revenue.
TERMINAL 09 · DEAL COMPARISON
Why a headline percentage is not enough
A CPA figure cannot be compared with revenue share without estimating qualification, reversals and customer value. A revenue-share percentage cannot be compared across programmes until net-revenue deductions, carryover and payment history are known. A lower published rate with clear terms may be more measurable than a higher rate with broad discretionary deductions.
| Field | Question | Missing-data result |
|---|---|---|
| Entity | Who signs and pays? | Do not apply |
| Qualification | What makes CPA payable? | Rate cannot be valued |
| Net revenue | Which deductions apply? | RevShare cannot be compared |
| Carryover | Does a negative balance reset? | Future value is unclear |
| Payment record | Was an invoice paid as stated? | Dashboard is not proof |
TERMINAL 10 · ILLUSTRATIVE ACCOUNTING
CPA and revenue-share examples
Assume an illustrative CPA contract pays ₹*** only after a new customer meets every written condition. Ten registrations do not create ten commissions when only two qualify. The payable amount is two times the verified CPA—not registrations multiplied by the headline rate. The value remains unknown here because operator rates are intentionally not invented.
For revenue share, assume the contract starts with gross gaming revenue and then deducts bonuses, payment fees, taxes, chargebacks and other listed items. The agreed percentage applies to the resulting contractual net revenue, not automatically to deposits, stakes or player losses shown in a content creator’s own calculation.
These examples describe accounting structure only. They do not forecast traffic, customer behaviour, operator revenue or publisher income.
TERMINAL 11 · TRAFFIC POLICY
Traffic sources and prohibited promotion
Check whether SEO, paid search, social media, influencer traffic, email, push notifications, messaging apps, brand bidding, domains, apps and sub-affiliates are permitted. A channel allowed by an advertising platform may still be prohibited by the affiliate contract or local law.
Do not use fake news, impersonation, guaranteed winnings, predictor claims, undisclosed advertorials, misleading bonuses or content directed at minors. Keep copies of creatives, landing pages, targeting and approval messages so a compliance dispute can be reconstructed.
Check spelling variants and restricted keywords.
Confirm whether rewards invalidate qualification.
Publisher may remain responsible for their conduct.
Consent, sender identity and local restrictions apply.
TERMINAL 12 · CONTRACT EXIT
Termination, frozen balances and surviving commission
Read when either party can terminate, whether notice is required, what happens to existing referred customers, and whether unpaid or future revenue share survives closure. Some agreements permit immediate termination and forfeiture for specified breaches; others may retain payments during investigation.
Export reports and invoices regularly. A dashboard can become inaccessible after closure. Preserve the contract version, amendments, traffic approvals, campaign IDs, monthly statements and correspondence. Do not rely on an account manager’s informal promise when the written agreement says otherwise.
TERMINAL 13 · EDITORIAL SEPARATION
How affiliate income remains separate from reviews
Operator research is conducted before adding a commercial link. A programme’s commission cannot increase its review score, remove a warning or buy the label “best.” If an operator fails verification, the profile can remain informational while the commercial link is withheld.
Every commercial button must be distinguishable from editorial navigation. The disclosure appears before the action, and the operator profile explains material ownership, terms and payment limitations. Non-commercial alternatives and responsible-play information remain visible.
What remains to be verified
For every programme we still need the contracting entity, verified application domain, current agreement, commission schedule, restricted markets, traffic policy, dashboard definitions, payment threshold, invoice process and a documented payment test.
Until those records exist, all operator rows remain `TERMS PENDING`, rates remain `***`, and no sign-up link is published. Specialist Indian legal review is also required before targeting or monetisation.
