ZAR Partners Affiliate Program

ZAR Partners promotes one brand, ZARbet: sportsbook, casino, virtuals and crash games aimed squarely at South Africa. The operator is Apollo Gaming 2024 (Pty) Ltd and the licence comes from the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board, so this is locally regulated rather than offshore. Local and international affiliates are both accepted. RevShare starts at 20% and climbs to 30%, and players stay attributed for life.

ZAR Partners program overview

The flow is familiar: apply, get reviewed by a human, receive your link and creatives, then send traffic and track it in the dashboard at login.zarpartners.co.za. The review is not a rubber stamp. During the application you hand over a list of your domains, explain how each is used, describe the quality of the sites, and name your target market, and the team cross-checks all of it against Whois records. Banking details are collected at signup too, since commissions are paid to a bank account.

• One market and one brand: South Africa and ZARbet, with no offer catalogue to pick from.
• The RevShare grid is published outright: 20%, 25% or 30% depending on monthly FTD count.
• Player attribution is lifetime, with no expiry on the relationship.
• CPA and bespoke plans exist, but they are contracted case by case rather than listed.
• A second tier runs alongside: refer another affiliate and earn from their revenue.
• The WCGRB licence carries an obligation, since affiliates must keep their marketing inside the regulator’s rules.
• One account per affiliate, with exceptions for super affiliates agreed individually.

Reward structure

This is a grid, not a single number, and it moves on the count of first deposits you bring in a month. Everything is calculated from Net Income Revenue, which is deposits minus withdrawals minus admin fees.

The grid matters less than the base it runs on. Net Income Revenue subtracts withdrawals and admin fees from deposits, so one heavy cashout can drag a whole month down. Ordinary negatives are written off at month end and never carried forward, yet there is a carve-out for high rollers: if a single player produces at least R50,000 of negative net revenue and your aggregate for that brand sits at negative R10,000 or worse, that deficit is pinned to that player and recovered only from what they generate later. It cannot be offset against other players and it cannot grow on its own.

ZAR Partners advantages

• A Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board licence, meaning a domestic South African regulator rather than an offshore registration.
• RevShare of 30% once monthly volume clears 501 FTDs, on a grid that is public rather than negotiated in the dark.
• Lifetime player attribution, so revenue does not expire with a cookie window.
• Negative balances written off outside the high-roller carve-out, so a bad month does not follow you around.
• A payout threshold you can pick in three currencies: R1,000, EUR 300 or USD 300.
• Net 30 payments, which means a predictable date rather than a vague promise of a monthly run.
• A second-tier program, so referring other affiliates adds a revenue line on top of your own traffic.
• A young market: ZARbet is one of South Africa’s newer books, and affiliate competition there is thinner than on saturated markets.

Bottom line

The affiliate program ZAR Partners is built for one market and one brand, which makes it a fit for anyone already working South Africa or planning to enter it. What it does well is concrete: a domestic WCGRB licence, a published RevShare grid up to 30%, lifetime attribution, negatives written off, and a Net 30 cycle you can plan around. Content projects and local media sit naturally here, while high-volume buyers have room to negotiate bespoke terms and CPA. Several parameters stay unpublished, so pin down the admin fee, cookie window and the full list of payment methods with a manager before launching.
