Net Deposit

Net deposit is calculated as total deposits minus total withdrawals for a given player, trader, or cohort over a specific period. It is a profitability indicator for operators because it shows how much capital players or traders have retained in the platform. A positive net deposit means the user has deposited more than they have withdrawn; a negative net deposit means the operator has paid out more than the user deposited.

In affiliate programs, net deposit is relevant because some commission models factor in net deposit rather than gross deposit when determining partner payouts. This protects operators from paying commissions on deposits that are quickly withdrawn -- a pattern sometimes associated with affiliate fraud or low-quality traffic. By tying commissions to net deposit, operators align affiliate incentives with genuine player retention and activity.

Net deposit also plays a role in evaluating LTV (Lifetime Value) and assessing traffic quality. Affiliates whose referred users show consistently positive net deposits are typically delivering higher-value traffic. Operators may use net deposit data alongside FTD (First Time Deposit) metrics, GGR, and NGR to build a complete picture of affiliate performance and to set qualification rules that prevent commission payouts on low-quality conversions.
