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.
What it means in practice
A Hybrid Commission deal blends more than one payout model inside the same agreement. The most common structure combines CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) with RevShare (Revenue Share), giving the affiliate an upfront payment plus an ongoing share of downstream revenue.
Operators use hybrid models when neither pure CPA nor pure RevShare fits their commercial reality. A pure CPA may feel too risky on customer quality. A pure RevShare may be harder to sell to affiliates who need faster cash flow. Hybrid deals help bridge that gap, and they represent one of the most flexible options within a broader payout model strategy.
In practice, hybrid logic can become complex quickly. Programs may tie the CPA portion to FTD (First Time Deposit), while the RevShare portion is calculated on NGR (Net Gaming Revenue) or another revenue base. That makes qualification rules clarity and partner-level configurability especially important.

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.
FTD (First Time Deposit)
FTD is the first successful deposit made by a newly referred user. In iGaming and some broker programs, it is one of the most common qualification events used for CPA payouts and partner reporting.
Payout Model
The structure that defines how and when affiliates are compensated for referred activity, including fixed payments, revenue shares, or hybrid combinations.
CPL (Cost Per Lead)
A commission model where an affiliate earns a fixed payment for each qualified lead they generate, typically defined as a registration, form submission, or account opening that meets specified criteria.
Qualification Rules
Qualification rules are the conditions a referred customer must meet before the affiliate earns a commission, such as minimum deposit amounts, wagering requirements, or identity verification.
CPA vs Hybrid Commission
CPA pays a one-time fixed amount per conversion. Hybrid commission combines a CPA payment with ongoing RevShare, balancing upfront payout with long-term alignment.
Lifetime Commission
Lifetime commission is a deal structure where an affiliate earns ongoing commission from a referred customer for as long as that customer remains active, with no expiration date.
