Can I switch deal types after signing?

Yes. Most affiliates start CPA or Hybrid and migrate to RevShare once traffic quality is proven. Discuss with your account manager — they want long-term partners, so renegotiation is welcomed.

What's the ceiling on PariPulse RevShare?

Up to 50% on the top tier per published listings (affpaying.com). Most affiliates start lower and scale up with volume.

Are CPA values published?

No. CPA values are negotiated per-account based on traffic source, projected volume and geos. Tier-1 geos (IN, TR, NG) typically carry higher values.

Does PariPulse offer revenue-share on losses only, or net profit including bonuses?

Standard practice in iGaming is RevShare on net player profit (gross losses minus bonus costs and sometimes processing fees). Confirm the exact formula during onboarding.

What's the minimum deposit threshold for an FTD to count?

FTD typically counts on the player's first qualifying deposit (varies by program). Confirm the exact threshold with your account manager.

PariPulse RevShare vs CPA vs Hybrid 2026: Honest Comparison

Picking the wrong commission structure can cost you 30–50% of your potential earnings. This guide walks through PariPulse's three deal types — RevShare, CPA, Hybrid — with worked examples for each traffic profile.

TL;DR: which deal type wins for which traffic

RevShare (up to 50%, lifetime) wins for long-term content traffic (SEO blogs, YouTube, evergreen guides) where players stay loyal for months. CPA (flat per-FTD) wins for paid media campaigns with predictable acquisition costs that need fast cash recovery. Hybrid (smaller CPA + ongoing RevShare) wins for established agencies wanting both fast recovery and long-tail upside — it's the default for most B2B partners.

How RevShare actually works

RevShare is calculated on net player profit — gross losses minus bonus costs and (in some networks) payment processing. PariPulse's exact net-revenue formula is set during onboarding; the published top-tier rate is up to 50% lifetime. 'Lifetime' means the rate applies as long as the player keeps an active account and keeps producing profit, regardless of how many years that takes.

Strengths: compounding income on stable traffic, no cap on long-tail earnings. Weaknesses: slow start (it takes a few months before RevShare income matches what CPA would have paid up-front), zero income on month-one if no players deposit.

How CPA actually works

CPA pays a flat one-off amount per first-time depositor (FTD), with no ongoing income. Values vary by geo: tier-1 jeos (typically India, Turkey, English-speaking markets) carry higher CPAs than tier-3 jeos. The exact CPA values are negotiated, not published — your account manager sizes them based on your traffic source, projected volume and player quality.

Strengths: fast cash recovery, predictable per-FTD economics, useful for paid media buyers running ROI-driven campaigns. Weaknesses: zero income if a referred player turns out to be high-LTV (you got the FTD payment, but a 10-year loyal player still pays you nothing more).

How Hybrid actually works

Hybrid combines both: a smaller CPA up-front + an ongoing RevShare percentage (lower than pure-RevShare). It's the most common deal structure for established agency partners because it solves the biggest weakness of each model:

CPA covers ad-spend recovery in month one
RevShare provides long-tail upside on the same players

The trade-off is that both components are smaller than their pure versions. A typical Hybrid might be $30 CPA + 20% RevShare, vs $50 pure CPA or 35% pure RevShare. Whether Hybrid wins depends on player LTV in your traffic mix.

Worked example: SEO blogger (high LTV traffic)

Assume you send 50 FTDs/mo from an Indian cricket-betting SEO blog. Players are research-heavy and tend to stick around. Average player produces ₹2,500 (~$30) profit per month.

RevShare 35%: 50 × $30 × 35% = $525/mo (month 1). With retention: ~$420/mo by month 6 (player base drops ~20%). Year-1 total ≈ $5,400.
CPA $40: 50 × $40 = $2,000 month 1. Year-1 total ≈ $2,000 (since CPA only pays once per FTD).
Hybrid $20 + 20% RevShare: $1,000 CPA + 50 × $30 × 20% = $300/mo RevShare. Year-1 total ≈ $1,000 + $2,800 = $3,800.

Winner here: pure RevShare, by a wide margin. Stable SEO traffic compounds.

Worked example: paid media agency (volatile traffic)

Now assume the same 50 FTDs/mo but from Facebook/Google paid traffic. Players are 60% bonus-hunters; only 40% stick past month 1. Average sustaining-player profit drops to ₹1,000 (~$12)/mo.

RevShare 35%: Month 1: 50 × $12 × 35% = $210. By month 3: 20 retained × $12 × 35% = $84/mo. Year-1 total ≈ $1,500.
CPA $40: Year-1 total ≈ $2,000 (cash up-front).
Hybrid $20 + 20% RevShare: Year-1 total ≈ $1,000 + $1,000 = $2,000.

Winner here: CPA, slightly. Hybrid ties. RevShare loses because the traffic doesn't stick. This is the typical paid-media profile.

How to decide for your traffic

Ask three questions about your traffic source:

How long do referred players stay? If 6+ months on average → RevShare wins. If under 2 months → CPA.
How fast do you need cash flow? Reinvesting weekly into ads → CPA or Hybrid. Patient SEO income → RevShare.
Can you afford a 3-month income gap? RevShare typically pays less than CPA in month 1 but catches up by month 3–6 on high-LTV traffic. If your business can't survive that gap, take CPA or Hybrid for now and migrate to RevShare once cash flow stabilises.

Most agencies start on Hybrid and migrate to higher RevShare as traffic quality data piles up. You can renegotiate with your account manager.
