If you have any reasonable suspicion that any New Customer referred by you is associated with bonus abuse, money laundering, fraud, or other abuse, you will immediately notify us.

If any suspicious activity is detected within the affiliate traffic, payments may be delayed at the discretion of the Affiliate Program. The maximum hold may be up to 90 days.
You acknowledge that the Company reserves the right to suspend your traffic for further analysis. All New Customers registered on the following day after such notification may be declined and not payable upon Company decision.

The Company reserves the right to hold traffic for further analysis for an indefinite period of time and any Commission may not be payable.
If more than 60% of New Customers of your total traffic made only a first and second deposit during the current month, the whole traffic volume shall be considered as motivated and the Company has a right not to pay the Commission for such traffic.

After the cancellation of a current deal, all subsequent traffic brought by the Partner will be paid under conditions of the new deal.
