Revenue Share Floor
A revenue share floor is the minimum commission an affiliate is guaranteed to receive per period, regardless of actual revenue generated by referred players or traders.
What it means in practice
A revenue share floor sets a guaranteed minimum payout for affiliates operating under a RevShare (Revenue Share) deal. If the calculated revenue share for a given period falls below the floor amount, the operator pays the floor instead. This protects affiliates from periods of low player activity, seasonal dips, or high-variance outcomes like jackpot wins in iGaming.
Revenue share floors are a negotiation tool used by operators to attract high-value affiliates who might otherwise prefer CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) for its predictability. By offering a floor, the operator preserves the upside alignment of RevShare while removing the downside risk that makes affiliates hesitant. Floors are typically reserved for top-tier partners with proven traffic quality.
The floor amount is usually set below the affiliate's expected average earnings, so it rarely triggers in normal conditions. When it does trigger, the operator absorbs the difference. Some programs combine floors with commission caps to bound both sides of the payout range, creating a predictable corridor for budgeting.
Floors interact with negative carryover policies. In programs without negative carryover protection, a floor may still leave the affiliate exposed if losses from one period carry forward. Operators must clearly define whether the floor resets each period or whether carryover applies above the floor threshold.
