The pitch sounds simple: recruit sub-affiliates, sit back, collect 5% of whatever they earn. In practice, that 5% is conditional, tiered, and gated by a 500 EUR monthly floor that quietly deletes your commission if your downline underperforms. 1xBet Partners runs a two-tier structure where you earn on your own referred players and on the revenue of affiliates you bring in, and the second layer has rules most publishers discover only after their first payout cycle closes.
How the 1xBet sub-affiliate tiers actually stack
The tier logic is volume-driven. You earn 5% of your sub-affiliates’ net revenue up to 10,000 EUR, 7% on the portion between 10,000 and 30,000 EUR, and 10% above 30,000 EUR. Those brackets apply to the combined revenue your sub-affiliates generate, not to your own direct traffic. If your downline collectively produces 24,000 EUR in a month, you are not paid 7% across the board. You are paid 5% on the first 10,000 and 7% on the remaining 14,000, which lands you at 1,480 EUR rather than the 1,680 EUR a flat 7% would suggest. The marginal-rate mechanics matter, and anyone modelling sub-affiliate income without accounting for them will overestimate by 10% to 15% on typical mid-tier volumes.
Where this gets genuinely interesting is the interaction with 1xBet’s parent commission structure. 1xBet was founded in 2017 and is operated by 1xCorp N.V. under a licence it cites as Curaçao eGaming OGL/2024/1262/0493. The brand provides sports betting and casino products, carries over 50 bonuses, and holds partnership deals with Barcelona and Serie A. That commercial weight is exactly why the sub-affiliate layer exists: 1xBet Partners wants distribution beyond what its own affiliate managers can recruit, so it pays existing affiliates to do the recruiting. The trade-off is that you inherit responsibility for the quality of the traffic your sub-affiliates send, because your cut is calculated on their net revenue after bonuses, chargebacks, and payment processing costs are stripped out.
The tier thresholds reset every calendar month. There is no rolling twelve-month window, no carryover of unused volume, and no credit for a sub-affiliate who produced 28,000 EUR in January and 4,000 EUR in February. Each month is a standalone calculation. That makes the 10% bracket genuinely hard to reach on a sustained basis unless you have recruited at least two or three sub-affiliates who each run serious operations. One whale sub-affiliate can push you into the top tier occasionally, but the income is lumpy and you cannot plan around it.
The 500 EUR floor that voids your cut
Here is the rule that catches almost everyone. Each individual sub-affiliate must generate at least 500 EUR in net revenue per month for you to earn your percentage on them. Fall below that line and the commission on that sub-affiliate is forfeited entirely, not reduced proportionally. A sub-affiliate producing 480 EUR does not earn you 5% of 480. It earns you nothing. The revenue they generated stays with the operator.
Run the numbers on a realistic downline and the damage becomes obvious. Suppose you recruit eight sub-affiliates. Three produce 2,000 EUR each, two produce 900 EUR each, and three produce 350 EUR each. Your qualifying volume is 7,800 EUR, which sits in the 5% bracket and pays 390 EUR. The 1,050 EUR generated by the three below-threshold sub-affiliates is simply gone. If those three had each cleared 500 EUR instead, your qualifying volume would be 9,300 EUR and your payout would be 465 EUR. The difference between a sub-affiliate at 490 EUR and one at 510 EUR is the entire commission on that account, which is a brutal cliff rather than a taper.
This design tells you what 1xBet Partners is optimising for. The floor filters out hobbyists, dormant accounts, and low-intent traffic that generates deposits but no meaningful margin. It pushes affiliates to recruit quality over quantity, and it shifts the risk of a weak downline onto the affiliate who built it. 1xbet original offers additional context worth reviewing. If you are running a 1xBet app review site or a sports betting comparison portal and you hand referral links to anyone who asks, you will accumulate sub-affiliates who never clear the floor and you will spend administrative time on accounts that pay you nothing. Vet your downline the way you would vet a paid traffic source.
Track sub-affiliate performance weekly rather than monthly. If an account is trending toward 400 EUR with ten days left in the cycle, you have a window to help them improve conversion, adjust their bonus positioning, or move them toward higher-value betting markets. Once the month closes, the forfeiture is final and there is no appeals process worth pursuing through the 1xBet support service.
What the sub-affiliate math means for your recruitment strategy
The 500 EUR floor changes the arithmetic of who you should recruit. A single sub-affiliate producing 3,000 EUR monthly is worth more to you than six producing 450 EUR each, even though the six collectively generate 2,700 EUR, because the six pay you zero. Your effective recruitment target should be sub-affiliates with existing traffic, established audiences, or clear monetisation plans, not new entrants hoping to learn affiliate marketing on your referral link.
Consider what a sub-affiliate needs to hit 500 EUR in net revenue. Depending on the vertical, that could mean 20 to 40 first-time depositors in a month, or a smaller number of high-value players in casino and live odds products. Sub-affiliates focused on esports betting often have lower deposit volumes but higher engagement, which can work in your favour if their audience bets consistently. Sub-affiliates pushing welcome package offers like the up to 1500 EUR plus 150 free spins deal tend to spike in month one and settle lower afterward, which creates a floor risk in month two and three even when month one looks strong.
The 30% cashback bonus that 1xBet offers is a double-edged element here. Cashback drives retention and repeat wagering, which lifts net revenue over time, but it also reduces the margin your sub-affiliate generates in the short term because cashback is a cost against revenue. A sub-affiliate whose players claim heavily against cashback may show gross activity that looks healthy while net revenue sits under 500 EUR. Check net revenue, not turnover, when you assess whether a sub-affiliate is on track to clear the floor.
One more thing worth stating plainly: 1xbets.bet is not the official 1xBet website. If you are recruiting sub-affiliates and they sign up through a mirror or clone domain, their accounts may not track under your affiliate ID at all, and you will have no commission to forfeit because you never had one. Send every sub-affiliate to the official 1xBet registration flow through your 1xBet Partners dashboard link, and verify tracking before they start driving traffic.
Build your sub-affiliate network around operators who can clear 500 EUR consistently, monitor net revenue weekly instead of waiting for the monthly statement, and model your income using marginal tier rates rather than flat percentages. The 5%, 7%, and 10% brackets reward scale, but the 500 EUR floor punishes anyone who confuses activity with revenue. Recruit fewer, better sub-affiliates, keep their accounts above the line every month, and the two-tier structure pays reliably enough to justify the management overhead.
