01 What is a CPA affiliate deal?
CPA (cost per acquisition) is the most direct way to monetise iGaming traffic: you earn a commission for each qualified player you send to a brand. At PlaySlotPartners the commission is recorded against the player's first-time deposit (FTD), and the qualifying conditions and the amount are defined in the commercial terms of each offer or deal.
Because the commission is paid once per player, CPA suits affiliates who want predictable earnings and quick feedback on how their traffic converts.
02 How a CPA commission is earned
- Click — a visitor uses your tracking link or SmartLink, and the platform records the click together with your affiliate account, the offer and the campaign.
- Registration — the player signs up with the brand and, depending on the integration, the registration is sent back by postback.
- First deposit — the brand reports the FTD and the platform matches it to your click.
- Validation — the conversion stays pending while the brand data is received or validated, and is then approved, cancelled or rejected according to the campaign rules.
Your reports keep these statuses apart, so pending activity is never presented as a final payable amount.
03 Real-time tracking
Conversions arrive server to server (S2S postbacks), so they appear in your dashboard as soon as the brand sends them. Each click can carry a click ID, GEO, device information and your own sub-ID values, which shows you which placement, creative or keyword produced each first deposit.
Before you go live, the Postback Tester in the Tools area runs a controlled test of a postback URL with the supported macros. Reports can be filtered by date and campaign and exported to CSV.
04 Offers and GEOs
The offers you can promote are the ones enabled for your account in the affiliate panel. Availability depends on GEO, traffic source, the commercial agreement and approval by your Account Manager.
SmartLinks check each visitor's GEO, operating system and browser against the configured rules and send them to the first matching offer, with a fallback offer when no rule matches — so every click has somewhere to convert.
05 Payments
Payment frequency is set per offer or commercial agreement and can be weekly or monthly. The current programme terms set a minimum payout of €100, and only validated conversions are paid. Payouts go to the methods enabled for your account, such as bank transfer, USDT or Skrill.
06 CPA, RevShare or Hybrid?
CPA pays once per qualified player. A revshare deal pays you a share of the revenue your players generate over time, and a hybrid deal combines both. Your Account Manager can confirm which models are available for each offer.
