choice.

registration, but only in US dollars or UK pounds at the market exchange rate.
-
Affiliates will only be paid by bank wire if the total amount owed in a single
month is $1,000 or more. This is because of the costs associated with sending
bank wires with a value lower than this. If the total amount owed is less than
$1,000, the affiliate will be paid by check. If an affiliate wishes to be paid
by bank wire when the amount owed is less than $1,000 then they must contact

him by the Company, it is the Affiliate's sole responsibility to refuse any
payment and immediately upon discovery make representations in writing to the
Company detailing the grievance. In any event, disputes must be made within 21
days of the date the Company sends the first disputed communication.

shall have no claims in that regard. Acceptance, withdrawal or deposit of
payment will be deemed to be acceptance of full and final settlement for that
month's Affiliate Fee.

directly or by amendment of any future payments.

and any policy notified by the Company through the Website or otherwise in

9. High-Roller Policy
- In any given month, if an individual player generates a negative net win of at least $10,000 ('high-roller'), and the aggregate net win in that month (for the casino) for that affiliate is negative, then the high-roller policy will apply.
- If both of the above criteria are met (see point I) then the negative net win generated by the high-roller will be carried forward and offset against future net win generated by that high-roller.
- The negative balance carried forward cannot be set-off against other players' net win.
- If there is more than one high-roller, the negative balance carried forward will be split proportionally between them.
- The negative balance of a high-roller will be reduced by future positive net win that they generate in subsequent months. The high-roller will continue like this until the total net win has been zeroed then the player shall return to the affiliate account.
- Affiliates who have qualifying high-rollers on their account will be notified at the beginning of the following month.
