What it means in practice
GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue) ist die grundlegende Umsatzkennzahl der iGaming-Branche. Die Berechnung folgt einer einfachen Formel: Gesamteinsätze der Spieler minus Gesamtgewinne der Spieler. Der GGR repräsentiert den Betrag, den das Haus aus dem gesamten Spielbetrieb einbehält, bevor irgendwelche Abzüge vorgenommen werden. Diese Kennzahl gilt branchenweit als einheitlicher Standard zur Messung des Rohertrags eines Betreibers.
Im Affiliate-Marketing ist der GGR relevant, weil er die Basis für viele Provisionsberechnungen im Rahmen von RevShare (Revenue Share)-Modellen bildet. Manche Betreiber zahlen Affiliates einen prozentualen Anteil am GGR, andere nutzen den NGR (Net Gaming Revenue), der Boni, Steuern, Plattformgebühren und weitere Kosten vom GGR abzieht, bevor die Provision des Affiliates berechnet wird. Die Wahl zwischen GGR-basiertem und NGR-basiertem RevShare hat erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die tatsächlichen Affiliate-Einnahmen: Bei identischem Prozentsatz erzielt ein GGR-Deal in der Regel deutlich höhere Auszahlungen als ein NGR-Deal, da beim NGR typischerweise 30-50 % der Einnahmen herausgerechnet werden.
Aus Betreibersicht ist der GGR die primäre Top-Line-Umsatzkennzahl. Er wird auch von Regulierungsbehörden verwendet, um Spielsteuern und Lizenzgebühren zu berechnen. In Deutschland zum Beispiel orientiert sich die Spielsteuer nach dem Glücksspielstaatsvertrag (GlüStV) am GGR einzelner Produktkategorien. Wichtig: Der GGR berücksichtigt keine Kosten wie Einzahlungsboni, die erst bei der NGR-Berechnung abgezogen werden. Affiliates, die RevShare-Konditionen verhandeln, sollten den Unterschied zwischen GGR und NGR genau verstehen, insbesondere wenn kommerzielle Bedingungen Abzüge wie Chargebacks oder Regelungen wie Negative Carryover enthalten.

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.
Negative Carryover
Negative carryover is a policy where a negative revenue balance from one period is rolled into the next period and offsets future affiliate earnings before new commissions are paid out.
Deposit Bonus
A promotional incentive offered by an iGaming operator to new or existing players, typically matching a percentage of their deposit amount as bonus funds with wagering requirements.
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.
