Which terms we publish

A term that fails any of the three checks is shown as "by agreement".

How the score is calculated

The score runs from 0 to 100 and is calculated from published terms only. A term the programme does not publish gets 0 points for its criterion and is marked "not published": the score rewards public terms, not promises.

CriterionWeightHow it is calculated
Published terms30Share of published terms among ten key ones: models, RevShare, CPA, payout frequency, minimum payout, negative carryover, sub-affiliate, cookie, admin fee, NGR deductions.
Payouts20Frequency (weekly 10, every two weeks 8, monthly 6, on request 2) plus minimum payout (up to 50 EUR or USD 10, up to 100 6, more 2; a minimum in another currency 0).
Negative carryover15No negative carryover 15, negotiable 10, conditional 8, carryover applies 0.
Sub-affiliate10Sub-affiliate with a published percentage 10, without one 6, on request 4, none 0.
Revenue base (NGR)15A closed list of revenue deductions 15, an open list 0: with an open list the affiliate cannot check the revenue base.
Cookie and attribution10Published cookie period 5, published attribution model 5.

Sponsored placements

A sponsored programme sits in its own slot above the ranking and first in the list on the home page, labelled "Sponsored". Its stars are sponsored: they are drawn in the sponsor colour, are not a methodology score and do not enter the order. The sponsor has a methodology score like everyone else, on its programme page.

How we write reviews

Reviews are written by the partners.rs editorial team. A review never states term figures itself: they come from the terms table. A review older than 60 days is hidden until it is checked again, while the terms table stays.
