What it means in practice
Player tracking in iGaming follows the full lifecycle of a referred user, from the initial click on an affiliate link through registration, first time deposit (FTD), wagering activity, and ongoing revenue generation. Every action the player takes is attributed back to the referring affiliate, creating a detailed record of how each partner contributes to the operator's business. This goes far beyond simple click-and-convert tracking -- it builds a continuous data stream tied to the player's account.
Player-level granularity is essential for RevShare commission models. Unlike CPA, where a single conversion event triggers a fixed payment, RevShare requires the operator to calculate each player's revenue contribution over time. This means tracking deposits, withdrawals, bonuses, and net gaming activity to arrive at GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue) or NGR (Net Gaming Revenue). Without accurate player tracking, RevShare calculations become unreliable, leading to disputes between operators and affiliates.
Effective player tracking also powers segmentation and optimization. When operators can see which affiliates drive high-value players versus low-retention ones, they can adjust commission structures, negotiate better deals with top performers, and identify underperforming traffic sources. Player tracking data feeds into fraud detection as well, helping operators spot patterns like bonus abuse, multi-accounting, or artificially inflated registration numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about player tracking, how it works in affiliate programs, and where it shows up across Track360's supported verticals.
Player tracking captures the full range of player activity: registration events, deposit amounts and frequency, game selections, wagering volume, bonus usage, withdrawals, and net revenue generated. All of this data is attributed to the affiliate who originally referred the player.

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.
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.
Postback
