Terms of Service

BetLink (the “Service”) is an aggregator that connects marketing affiliates with licensed iGaming operators. The Service provides discovery, tracking links, conversion attribution, payout mediation, reporting, compliance tooling, and educational content. We act as an information-society service and a payment intermediary between operators and affiliates only. We do not facilitate the placement of wagers, do not custody player funds, and do not provide gambling services to end-users.

The Service is operated by Velocity Cy Ltd ({TODO(legal)}), a company registered in Cyprus (the “Operator”, “we”, “us” or “our”). These Terms form a binding agreement between you and the Operator from the moment you create an account or otherwise use the Service.

To access most features you must create an account, accept these Terms, and complete the BetLink Know-Your-Affiliate (KYA) process. KYA covers identity, traffic-source profile, jurisdictional eligibility, payment-method ownership, and a self-declaration of compliance with operator terms. You agree to provide accurate information and to update it without delay if it changes.

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old, hold full legal capacity in your jurisdiction, and not be a resident of any country subject to comprehensive sanctions imposed by the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United Nations, or the United States. You may not create an account on behalf of another person without an express written authorisation that we accept in writing.

You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials, for any activity under your account, and for keeping a registered email and phone where we can reach you. We may suspend or close any account that fails KYA, that submits inaccurate KYA data, or that we reasonably suspect of fraud, money-laundering, sanctions evasion, or targeting of self-excluded users.

Affiliate earnings are credited to your BetLink account in cash (multi-currency, with EUR as the reporting currency) and/or in BetLink Coin (“BLC”), a closed-loop platform credit with a face value of one euro cent (1 BLC = €0.01). BLC is not legal tender, not electronic money within the meaning of Directive 2009/110/EC, not a security, not a virtual asset within the meaning of Cyprus AML law, and is non-transferable outside of BetLink.

Cash withdrawals are processed via Stripe and supported alternative rails. Minimum payout thresholds, currencies, fees, and processing windows are published in the dashboard and may be revised on notice. You authorise us to issue self-billing invoices on your behalf where permitted by Article 224 of the EU VAT Directive and Cypriot VAT law, subject to your right to object on a per-invoice basis.

We may withhold or claw back commissions where the underlying conversion is reversed by the operator (chargeback, fraud-flag, duplicate-account, bonus-abuse), where the affiliate breached operator T&Cs, or where applicable law requires it. Any taxes, contributions, or social charges arising on your earnings are your sole responsibility.

BetLink, the Service, the dashboards, the source code, the brand marks, the “BetLink” name, the operator-rating methodology, the “No-NC Index”, the BetRank engine, and all related content are owned by the Operator or licensed to it, and are protected by Cypriot, EU, and international copyright, database, trademark, and unfair-competition law.

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for the sole purpose of running your affiliate operations in accordance with these Terms. You retain ownership of any creative material that you upload, but grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, and distribute it to the extent necessary to operate the Service.

You may not, directly or indirectly: (a) reverse engineer, scrape, or create competing aggregator products from the Service; (b) use the Service to promote unlicensed sportsbooks, geo-violating offers, fraud-coupled offers, child-targeted promotions, pyramid or MLM schemes, or NFT-bonus-coupled offers (see our Prohibited Products page for details); (c) target self-excluded users or persons under 18; (d) misrepresent our brand, our operator partners, or any third-party brand; (e) circumvent geo-blocks, KYA, anti-fraud, or rate-limit controls; or (f) interfere with the integrity of the Service.

A material breach of this section will trigger immediate suspension and may result in commission forfeiture, removal of all referred traffic, and recovery of any amounts paid in connection with the breaching activity.

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Operator, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and operator partners from and against any claim, loss, liability, damage, fine, or expense (including reasonable lawyers’ fees) arising out of: (a) your use of the Service in breach of these Terms; (b) any content, creative, or claim you publish; (c) any breach of operator T&Cs imputable to your traffic; or (d) any infringement of third-party rights.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all express and implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy of operator-supplied data, uninterrupted availability, and freedom from defects. Any operator ratings, rankings, or commercial scores are editorial opinions, not advice.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator’s total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Service and these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (i) the commissions paid to you by us during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (ii) one thousand euros (€1,000). In no event will we be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, even if advised of their possibility.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the country in which you habitually reside remain unaffected.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered under the rules of the Cyprus Arbitration and Mediation Centre (CAMC), seated in Limassol, Cyprus, before a single arbitrator and conducted in English. The award shall be final and may be enforced in any competent court. Either party may seek interim or injunctive relief from a competent court without waiver of the arbitration agreement.

Consumers domiciled in the European Union retain their right to bring proceedings before the courts of their domicile under Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012, where applicable.

You may close your account at any time from the Account Settings page. We may suspend or close your account immediately on notice for breach of these Terms, sanctions risk, regulatory order, fraud, or operator escalation. On termination we will, subject to deductions for chargebacks and clawbacks, settle any earned and undisputed balance through your verified payment method. Sections surviving termination include §3 (settlement), §4 (IP), §6 (indemnity), §8 (liability), §9 (law), §10 (disputes), and §13 (modifications).

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email and by an in-product banner at least fifteen (15) days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept a change, you may close your account before the effective date and receive any earned and undisputed balance subject to §3.
