Meridian Partners

This is a US grey-market offshore program: it targets American players under a Curaçao licence (UIGEA risk), so payment rails lean on crypto and traffic from the 23-country Curaçao restricted list (UK, France, Netherlands, etc.) earns nothing. The headline rev-share is eroded by a 20-30% 'system commission' plus bonus/fee/chargeback deductions, and uncapped negative carryover applies to baseline accounts — negotiate 'No-NCO' or high-roller quarantining before scaling. Losses may be bundled with sister brand Gossip Slots (unconfirmed). Verify the Curaçao 'Green Seal' / LOK direct licence is live. Finally, keep marketing strictly separate from the music artist Drake (subject of a Stake.us RICO suit) — the casino is unrelated and predates that partnership, but name confusion is a trademark/scrutiny risk. Exact terms aren't on the public site; confirm rev-share, cookie window and NCO with an account manager.

Grey-market operator on a Tier 2 Curacao sub-license targeting AU/CA/NZ; ACMA block-lists mirror domains and banks restrict card deposits (~40% success), so traffic must lean on crypto/voucher funding. Limited legal recourse in disputes.

Two structural catches offset the strong headline terms. First, negative carryover is uncapped by default — a single winning sports whale can zero your commissions for months — so negotiate a monthly/quarterly NCO reset or high-roller quarantine before scaling. Second, undisclosed admin fees plus bonus, game-provider and payment-processing deductions cut the effective rev-share well below the 50% headline (~35% at the top tier). It runs on a Vanuatu (Tier-2) offshore licence aimed at grey-market Asian GEOs, and strictly excludes the US, UK, Australia, Singapore, Philippines, Hong Kong, France and Germany. Stats are day-level (not real-time) with a 15-business-day payout hold, and there was one resolved 2022 GPWA missing-payment warning. Best for experienced media buyers and sports publishers with genuine Vietnam/Indonesia/Thailand traffic; default to USDT payouts to avoid regional banking friction.

Two practical blockers right now: new affiliate registrations are suspended during the Banijay ownership transition, and the cookie window is an unusually short 3 days — this program only rewards high-intent, immediate-conversion traffic (tipster/action funnels), not long-form SEO content. Commercially it's conservative: rev-share is capped at 25% and the German sports-betting tax (~5.3% of turnover) plus deductions cut the effective rate further, so the flat €120 CPA is usually the better deal. Payouts are bank-transfer only (no crypto/e-wallets), and the affiliate team is known to be unresponsive to smaller sites — expect acceptance and support to favour high-volume partners. Value is concentrated almost entirely in Germany and Austria (Tipico exited the US in 2024). Follow creative guidelines strictly: as a Tier-1 GGL licensee, Tipico suspends affiliates for non-compliant promotion.
