What it means in practice
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 A positive net deposit means the user has deposited more than they have withdrawn; a negative net deposit means the operator has paid out more than the user deposited.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 This protects operators from paying commissions on deposits that are quickly withdrawn -- a pattern sometimes associated with affiliate fraud or low-quality traffic.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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about net deposit, how it works in affiliate programs, and where it shows up across Track360's supported verticals.
Net deposit is total deposits minus total withdrawals for a player or trader over a given period. It shows how much money the user has retained in the operator's platform.
Related Terms
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.
GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue)
GGR is the total amount wagered by players minus the total amount paid out as winnings. It represents the raw revenue an iGaming operator earns from player activity before any deductions for bonuses, taxes, or operational costs.
NGR (Net Gaming Revenue)
NGR is the revenue that remains after an operator deducts costs such as bonuses, taxes, and platform fees from GGR. It is a common base for RevShare calculations in iGaming affiliate programs.
LTV (Customer Lifetime Value)
The total revenue or profit a business expects to generate from a single customer over the entire duration of their relationship, used to evaluate affiliate traffic quality and optimize commission structures.
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.
Minimum Deposit
The minimum deposit is the lowest amount a player must fund to activate their account or qualify for an affiliate commission event like an FTD.
