Qualification Rules
Le qualification rules sono le condizioni che un cliente referenziato deve soddisfare prima che l'affiliato guadagni la commissione.
What it means in practice
Le qualification rules definiscono i criteri che un cliente referenziato deve soddisfare prima che una conversione venga conteggiata e l'affiliato riceva la commissione. Senza queste regole, gli operatori pagherebbero commissioni su ogni registrazione o deposito, indipendentemente dal fatto che il cliente sia legittimo, soddisfi i requisiti regolamentari o rappresenti un reale valore commerciale.
Le condizioni di qualificazione comuni includono soglie minime di deposito, verifica dell'identità tramite controlli KYC (Know Your Customer), minimi di attività di gioco o trading, idoneità geografica e periodi di trattenuta prima dell'approvazione del payout. Queste regole proteggono gli operatori dal pagare il CPA su traffico di bassa qualità o fraudolento, inclusi account falsi, auto-referral e clienti che depositano solo per prelevare subito.
Regole di qualificazione ben progettate bilanciano la prevenzione delle frodi con l'equità verso gli affiliati. Se le regole sono troppo rigide, gli affiliati possono trovare il programma poco attraente perché troppi dei loro referral non si qualificano. Se sono troppo lasche, l'operatore assorbe il costo della frode di affiliazione e del traffico spazzatura. L'approccio giusto dipende dal verticale, dal modello di commissione e dalla tolleranza al rischio dell'operatore. Nel mercato ADM e nel contesto Consob, alcune regole derivano direttamente da requisiti regolamentari.
