(THE FOLLOWING CLAUSE 5.1 to CLAUSE 5.6 SPECIFICALLY APPLY TO YOU IF YOU ARE A CLUB HOST.)

5. Commission

5.1 The commission payable to you under this Agreement (the “Commission”) is calculated on the applicable share of Gross Revenue as defined in clause 5.2.

5.3 A Lead’s contribution to cash game rake is calculated using the following formula:

A x B

where: “A” is the total rake of the hand and “B” is a Lead’s applicable share of the total rake of such hand (the “Applicable Share of the Total Rake”).

The Applicable Share of the Total Rake is contingent on the final outcome of the hand and is subject to the Company’s arrangement and sole discretion from time to time.

SpinUp	No condition.

(iii) the players’ total contribution to the prize pool is four thousand five hundred and forty-five US Dollars ($4,545) which is larger than the $4,500 prize pool, the Lead(s)’ total contribution to the administrative fees WILL count.

5.5 For the purpose of calculating the Commission of KKClash, a Lead’s contribution to any given KKClash round is fixed at 2% of their total bets of that round. For the purpose of calculating the Commission of Blackjack, a Lead's contribution to any given Blackjack round is fixed at 0.3% of the total bet of the main bet, and 4% of the amount paid to the Insurance and Perfect Pair bets.

5.6 The Commission structure between the Company and your Club is subject to the rules published on KKPoker which will be updated from time to time. The Company reserves the right to amend such rules in its absolute discretion with immediate effect and without an obligation to provide you with notice and the Company shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for any loss suffered as a consequence of any decision made by the Company in this regard. The Company encourages you to visit KKPoker regularly and check the relevant rules in force at such time.

(THE FOLLOWING CLAUSES 5.7 AND 5.8 SPECIFICALLY APPLY TO YOU IF YOU ARE A CLUB AGENT.)

5.7 You may receive Commission from the Club Host for the contribution made by your Leads, if applicable. The Commission received by you therefrom may be based on the numbers of Leads generated by you and linked to the Commission scheme agreed between you and the Club Host, and shall not be determined by the Commission scheme as set for under clause 5.1 to 5.6.

5.8 You will receive Commission from either the Club Host or the Company (as the case may be) for the contribution made by yourself. In that scenario, clause 5.9 will be applied to you as if you are a Club Member.

(THE FOLLOWING CLAUSE 5.9 SPECIFICALLY APPLIES TO YOU IF YOU ARE A CLUB MANAGER OR A MEMBER.)

5.9 You will either receive Commission from the Club Host in accordance with the Commission scheme as agreed between you and the Club Host, or receive Commission from the Company in accordance with the Commission scheme as agreed between you and the Company, whichever has a higher Commission percentage based on the respective Commission scheme. The Commission received by you may either be based on the numbers of Leads generated by you and linked to the Commission scheme agreed between you and your Upline, or the amount of your own contribution and linked to the Commission scheme agreed between you and the Company, whichever has a higher Commission percentage based on the respective Commission scheme, and shall not be determined by the Commission scheme as set for under clause 5.1 to 5.6.

The Upline structure is illustrated as follows: -

Who You Are	How to Join the Club	Upline
Club Manager	N /A	Club Host
Club Agent	N /A	Club Host

5.10 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to change the "rake" allocation model from time to time and may do so with respect to all Leads, both existing and new. The Commission scheme between you and the Company, if applicable, is subject to the rules published on KKPoker which will be updated from time to time. The Company reserves the right to amend such rules in its absolute discretion with immediate effect and without an obligation to provide you with notice and the Company shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for any loss suffered as a consequence of any decision made by the Company in this regard. The Company encourages you to visit KKPoker regularly and check the relevant rules in force at such time.

5.11 For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be under no obligation to pay any Commission with respect to Leads who are at any time blocked or suspended by the Company for any reason (including for reasons of fraud or any failure to validate the end-user account). However, for the purposes of calculating the Gross Revenue, the Company may still deduct any or all charges or expenses attributable to blocked or suspended Leads.

5.12 You acknowledge and agree that a different payment scheme may apply to other affiliates who are already being paid by the Company in accordance with an older or alternative payment scheme or in other particular cases as determined at the Company's sole discretion from time to time.

5.14 In consideration of your provision of the marketing services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall pay you the Commission when a Game table ceases services or a tournament is completed. Payments of Commission shall be made directly to your KKPoker account. Without derogating from the foregoing, if the Company is not able to transfer the Commission to you, the Company reserves the right to deduct from the Commission a reasonable amount to reflect the required investigation and additional work including without limitation the administrative burden created by your having provided incorrect or incomplete details. Should the Company not be able to transfer any Commission to you for six (6) consecutive months as a result of any incomplete or incorrect details of your KKPoker account, or for any other reason beyond the control of the Company, the Company reserves the right to withhold any such Commission and will no longer be liable to pay such Commission.

5.15 The Company is not obliged to make any payments until verification is completed to its satisfaction. If the Company believes at its sole discretion that you have failed to provide it with such verification, the Company retains the right to terminate this Agreement immediately and you shall not be entitled to receive any Commission which has accrued to your benefit up until such time or thereafter.

5.16 The Company reserves the right to take action against you and/or your Leads should you or any Links used by you or Leads show patterns of manipulating and/or abusing the Affiliate Programme in any way whatsoever. If the Company determines that such conduct is being undertaken, it may withhold and keep any Commission payments which would have otherwise been payable to you under this Agreement and terminate this Agreement with immediate effect.

5.17 The Company hereby retains the right to convert the commission scheme by which you are, have been or will be paid.

Any incidence of fraud on your part (or the part of a Lead) constitutes a breach of this Agreement. Any incidence of fraud constitutes a breach by you of the Agreement and the Company retains the right to terminate this Agreement immediately and retain all Commission otherwise payable to you and will no longer be liable to pay such Commission to you. The Company also retains the right to set-off from future Commissions payable to you any amounts already received by you which can be shown to have been generated by fraud.

5.20 For the purpose of this Agreement and by way of example only, the term "fraud" shall include, but shall not be limited to:

(i) the encouragement by you or a third party of bonus abuse on the part of the Leads;

(ii) a chargeback executed by a Lead in relation to his/her initial deposit;

(iii) collusion on the part of the Lead with any other player on the Sites or any website owned and/or operated by a Group Company;

(v) the offering or providing by you or any third party of any unauthorised incentives (financial or otherwise), including without limitation "rake back", to potential or existing Leads;

(vi) creating or using a single Link intended to be used by a single Lead;

(vii) any use by you or a potential Lead or a Lead of any software program, robot or external aid, which is endowed with artificial intelligence, to play real money games on the Site; and

In the event of a suspected "rake back" activity on your part (based for example, on the detection of numerous Affiliate serials with only one or very few accounts on each), the Company shall have the right to immediately block your account and forfeit any past and future Commissions which have accrued to your benefit.

5.21 You acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not be liable to pay to you any amounts which relate to revenues generated from Leads from any products or services provided by the Company or any of its affiliated entities or commercial partners other than the poker products which you advertise via the Links. The Company shall not be liable to you for any amounts which relate to revenues generated from activity relating to any KKPoker account other than the KKPoker account registered with the particular Site promoted by you in which the respective KKPoker account qualified as a Lead.

5.22 Your affiliate account is solely for your benefit. You shall not allow any third party to use your account, password or identity to access or use the Affiliate Programme and you shall be fully responsible for any activities undertaken on your account by a third party. You will not reveal your account username or password to any person and you shall take all steps to ensure that such details are not revealed to any person. You shall inform the Company immediately if you suspect that your account is being misused by a third party and/or any third party has access to your account username or password. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be liable for any activities undertaken on your account by a third party or for any damages that may arise therefrom.

5.23 The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to immediately cease any or all marketing efforts in certain jurisdictions and you shall immediately cease marketing to persons in such jurisdictions. The Company will not be liable to pay you any Commission which would have otherwise been payable to you under this Agreement in respect of such jurisdictions.

5.24 The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to immediately cease paying you Commission with respect to Leads generated by you from a specific jurisdiction and you shall immediately cease marketing to persons in such jurisdiction.

5.25 You are responsible for the payment of all taxes, charges, levies, assessment and other fees of any kind related to Commission you receive under this Agreement and you acknowledge that should the Company be required to deduct an amount in respect of any applicable withholding tax the Commission shall be reduced by the amount of such deduction.
