What it means in practice
NGR (Net Gaming Revenue) starts from GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue) and then subtracts agreed deductions such as bonuses, taxes, chargebacks, or platform costs. It is one of the most important terms in iGaming affiliate agreements because it directly changes the base used for RevShare (Revenue Share) payouts.
Operators prefer NGR because it reflects closer-to-net commercial value rather than top-line gaming revenue. Affiliates care because the difference between GGR and NGR can materially reduce earnings, especially when deductions like deposit bonuses or tax costs are high. That is why the formula matters more than the headline percentage alone.
NGR-based deals become even more sensitive when policies like Negative Carryover are added. If a program both deducts heavily and rolls losses forward, the affiliate's realized earnings can diverge significantly from the advertised RevShare rate.
