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.
