Negative Carryover
Negative Carryover ist eine Regel, bei der ein negativer Umsatzsaldo aus einer Periode in die nächste übertragen wird und künftige Affiliate-Einnahmen mindert.
What it means in practice
Negative Carryover wird am häufigsten im Zusammenhang mit RevShare (Revenue Share)-Deals diskutiert, besonders im iGaming. Es bedeutet, dass ein negativer Saldo, den ein geworbener Spieler oder eine Spielergruppe in einem Monat erzeugt, in die Folgemonate übertragen und von künftigen Einnahmen abgezogen wird, bevor der Affiliate wieder verdient.
Die Regel ist relevant, weil sie das tatsächliche Ertragsprofil eines RevShare-Deals verändert. Ein Programm mag einen attraktiven Prozentsatz bewerben, doch wenn es zugleich NGR (Net Gaming Revenue) mit aggressiven Abzügen, einschließlich Chargebacks, und Negative Carryover nutzt, können realisierte Auszahlungen über lange Zeiträume verzögert oder reduziert werden.
Manche Betreiber behalten Negative Carryover bei, weil es Auszahlungen an die Nettoprofitabilität koppelt. Affiliates lehnen es oft ab, weil es mehr Risiko auf sie verlagert. Das macht es zu einem Verhandlungspunkt, nicht nur zu einem Buchhaltungsdetail. In Deutschland, wo die Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL) das Online-Glücksspiel reguliert, sollten Betreiber die Carryover-Regel in der Partnervereinbarung klar und transparent festhalten.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about negative carryover, how it works in affiliate programs, and where it shows up across Track360's supported verticals.
Negative Carryover bedeutet, dass ein negativer Saldo aus einer Berichtsperiode die Einnahmen in künftigen Perioden reduzieren oder eliminieren kann, bis das Defizit ausgeglichen ist. Affiliates können weiterhin profitablen Traffic senden und trotzdem keine Auszahlung sehen, bis der negative Saldo getilgt ist.

RevShare (Revenue Share)
RevShare is a commission model where an affiliate earns an ongoing percentage of the revenue generated by their referred customers, typically calculated on a monthly basis.
NGR (Net Gaming Revenue)
NGR is the revenue that remains after an operator deducts costs such as bonuses, taxes, and platform fees from GGR. It is a common base for RevShare calculations in iGaming affiliate programs.
GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue)
GGR is the total amount wagered by players minus the total amount paid out as winnings. It represents the raw revenue an iGaming operator earns from player activity before any deductions for bonuses, taxes, or operational costs.
Chargeback
A chargeback is a forced transaction reversal initiated by a customer's bank or payment provider, which can claw back revenue and reverse affiliate commissions already paid.
Hybrid Commission
Hybrid commission combines two payout models, most commonly CPA and RevShare, in a single affiliate deal so operators can reward both conversion volume and long-term customer value.
High Roller
A high roller is a casino player who wagers large amounts, generating outsized revenue and requiring dedicated VIP management and affiliate attribution.
Revenue Share Deductions
Revenue share deductions are costs subtracted from gross revenue before calculating an affiliate's RevShare payout, including bonuses, taxes, fees, and chargebacks.
Lifetime Commission
