Sub-Afiliado
Un sub-afiliado es un afiliado reclutado por otro afiliado, donde el reclutador gana un porcentaje de las comisiones del sub-afiliado como override.
What it means in practice
Un sub-afiliado es un afiliado que se une a un programa por la referencia de un afiliado existente (el padre). El afiliado padre gana una comisión override, normalmente del 5 al 15 por ciento, sobre las ganancias generadas por los sub-afiliados que reclutó. Esto crea una red multinivel donde el padre se beneficia del tráfico y las conversiones impulsadas por los afiliados que trajo al programa. El concepto es similar a la estructura de Sub-IB en el sector Forex.
Los programas de sub-afiliados ofrecen beneficios claros tanto para operadores como para afiliados. Para los operadores, amplían el alcance del programa a través de las redes de los afiliados existentes sin coste ni esfuerzo de captación adicionales. Para los afiliados, reclutar sub-afiliados crea una fuente de ingresos pasivos sobre sus ganancias directas. Sin embargo, hay riesgos: el control de calidad tiende a diluirse en cada nivel, ya que el operador tiene menos supervisión directa de las fuentes de tráfico de los sub-afiliados. Las reglas de cualificación y la detección de fraude de afiliados son salvaguardas importantes en los programas multinivel.
El cálculo de comisiones en las estructuras multinivel añade complejidad a la gestión del programa. Las comisiones override se suman a los pagos directos de CPA (Costo por Adquisición) o RevShare, lo que significa que el operador paga tanto la comisión del sub-afiliado como el override del padre. Los programas más complejos pueden tener tres o más niveles, con cada nivel ganando un porcentaje decreciente. Los operadores deben configurar con cuidado las profundidades de nivel, los porcentajes de override y los topes de pago para que el modelo de pago global siga siendo sostenible. En España, los operadores con licencia de la DGOJ deben asegurar la transparencia de estas estructuras.

A Sub-IB is an introducing broker recruited by another IB (the master IB) rather than directly by the broker. Sub-IBs operate under a multi-tier structure where commissions cascade from the broker through the master IB layer.
Master IB
A Master IB is an introducing broker who recruits and manages a network of Sub-IBs beneath them. The Master IB earns override commissions on the trading volume generated by their downstream partners in addition to commissions on their own direct referrals.
Affiliate Program
A structured partnership where a business rewards external partners (affiliates) for driving traffic, leads, or conversions through tracked referral activity.
CPA (Cost Per Acquisition)
CPA is a commission model where an affiliate earns a fixed payment for each qualifying action, such as a deposit, registration, or purchase, that a referred user completes.
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.
Affiliate Fraud
Affiliate fraud is the deliberate manipulation of affiliate tracking, attribution, or conversion data to earn commissions that were not legitimately generated.

This guide sets out an honest 10-criterion scoring framework, the specific limits bundled modules hit, and the migration cost on both sides.
