DACH Affiliates

DACH Affiliates is an optimal choice for established, high-volume publishers and media buyers who can direct specialized traffic from grey markets or localized European regions. Backed by the long-standing corporate reputation of Bellona N.V., the program provides a stable backend paired with highly competitive vertical brands. However, because of the short session-based cookie window and the mandatory five active referrals rule, it is best suited for marketers running highly optimized, immediate-conversion landing pages rather than passive or low-volume traffic models.

Program Highlights

• Flexible Commission Structures: Offers a standard commission ladder scaling from 30% to 50% revenue share , with an introductory 50% promo rate applied for the first three months. Alternative models like CPA and Hybrid plans can also be arranged via direct negotiation.
• Operational Deductions: Payout yields are subject to structural deductions from gross gaming revenue, including a 30% administrative fee, which heavily impacts the effective Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) and final yield.
• Session-Based Attribution: Employs a highly restrictive session-based cookie configuration that requires referred users to complete registration within their active browser session. Returning users who register later via direct search or secondary channels are not credited to the original affiliate.
• Activity & Performance Clauses: Features an uncapped negative carryover policy where net deficits from winning players carry forward indefinitely to offset future profits. Additionally, affiliates must maintain a minimum of five active referred players each billing period to qualify for accrued commissions.
• Settlement Thresholds: Payments are processed monthly by the 20th day of the subsequent month following formal invoice submission. The minimum payout is set at €100 for traditional e-wallets or Trustly, and €500 for bank wire transfers and alternative channels like cryptocurrency.

Established in 2021, DACH Affiliates operates as the official marketing division for the dual-vertical sports betting and digital casino portals DachBet and OlympusBet. Corporate ownership is held by Bellona N.V., an experienced operator that has been active in the iGaming space since 2010 under a Curaçao eGaming license. To secure stable transaction pathways and mitigate traditional offshore merchant banking restrictions, the program handles payments through its wholly-owned Cyprus subsidiary, Arzella Limited, enabling standard SEPA and e-wallet transfers to European publishers.

The program promotes a diverse product portfolio integrating comprehensive casino platforms and sportsbooks that feature titles from over sixty industry-leading game developers. While the brand name heavily implies an exclusive focus on the German-speaking European markets of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the program has successfully diversified its geographical scope to target mature and high-growth markets including Canada, Brazil, Italy, and New Zealand. Technically, the infrastructure is powered by Playtech’s Mexos tracking platform, which provides publishers with day-level data freshness to monitor user activity and campaign metrics.
