NGR deductions: admin fee, bonuses and chargebacks in revshare
What iGaming operators deduct from NGR before paying revshare, how the admin fee changes what the affiliate earns, and a step-by-step example.
Updated on 6 Nov 2026
Revshare is calculated on NGR, but every operator's NGR is different. Before applying the percentage, many programs deduct amounts from the players' result. Two brands with the same revshare can pay very different amounts because of this.
What is usually deducted
- Bonuses: the value of bonuses given to players. If the brand's report already sends NGR with bonuses deducted, they are not deducted again.
- Chargebacks: deposits reversed by the bank or card issuer.
- Admin fee: a percentage to cover gaming taxes, payment costs and licences. It is usually between 10% and 25%.
An example
An affiliate on 30% revshare has this month:
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| NGR in the report | €10,000 |
| Bonuses | −€1,500 |
| Chargebacks | −€300 |
| Subtotal | €8,200 |
| 20% admin fee | −€1,640 |
| Revshare base | €6,560 |
| 30% revshare | €1,968 |
Without deductions, the same month would pay €3,000.
What if the brand only sends GGR?
GGR is revenue before bonuses and costs. Some CRMs only export GGR. In that case, the deal's deductions turn GGR into a base close to NGR.
What to check in the deal
- Does the admin fee apply to negative months? Charging a percentage on a loss makes it bigger.
- Are bonuses already deducted in the NGR of the report?
- Do deductions count for the tier, if the deal has tiered revshare?
In RastroAff
Each deal can deduct bonuses, chargebacks and a percentage admin fee. The fee only applies when the month's result is positive. If the brand does not send NGR, GGR is used with the same deductions. Each month's detail shows the starting NGR, each deduction and the final base.
