Clawback

A clawback deducts already-credited (sometimes already-paid) commission when its basis collapses: the player’s deposit charged back, the FTD was fraudulent, the account was a duplicate.

Rules that keep it civilized

Clawbacks are legitimate when the triggering events are defined in the agreement, evidenced on request, and time-boxed (no reaching back six months into settled statements). Open-ended clawback rights convert every affiliate payment into a loan the operator may recall — sophisticated partners walk from such terms. Net clawbacks against current earnings rather than invoicing negative balances except in fraud cases; the paperwork isn’t worth it.
