Affiliate Agreement

Members of SBA Black earn on the SBA Black plan payments made by the people they bring in: 20% to 30% on level 1, by rank, and 10% down to 2% on levels 2 through 7 — on the first payment and on every 40-day renewal. This agreement sets out how that works and the rules for promoting SBA. It sits alongside the SBA Terms of Service. This is a working draft for attorney review, not legal advice. Items in [brackets] are decisions still open.

1. Joining and the relationship

• Who can join. You must be at least 21, live where promoting sports-betting software is lawful, and accept this agreement. You join the Bookie Program by joining SBA Black; every member has an invite code.
• When you earn. You earn only while your own SBA Black membership is active. If SBA runs a promotion for members, its terms, shown inside SBA Black while it runs, say whether promotional access counts as active. [Attorney: confirm this is stated wherever the program is promoted.]
• Independent contractor. You are not an SBA employee, agent or partner. You cannot sign anything or make promises for SBA. You pay your own costs and taxes.
• Your code. Each member has a unique invite code, shown on their card and in BUILD. Codes cannot be sold or transferred. SBA may decline or retire a code that is misleading or uses someone else's brand.

2. Your team and attribution

A person joins your team when your code is on their SBA Black join. Your link, sbablack.com/k/YOURCODE, fills it in for them; a link to an SBA page carrying ?ref=YOURCODE does the same.

• The line. Level 1 on a payment is the code on that payment, or else the payer's own sponsor. Each level above is the sponsor of the person on the level below, up to level 7.
• Placed later. If SBA places a member under a sponsor after they have paid, that sponsor earns from the member's next payment on — never on a payment already in the ledger.
• No self-referral. A payment never pays its own payer, and a line that loops back on itself stops there. You cannot earn on your own second account or anyone sharing your household's sportsbook accounts.
• Disputes over who brought in a member are decided by SBA from its records. That decision is final. [Open: whether a member's sponsor can change after a long lapse.]

3. Commissions

Each SBA Black plan payment is shared across up to seven levels of the payer's line:

• Calculated on what was paid. Commission is a percentage of the plan price the member actually paid. [Confirm: whether any processing or network fees are deducted first.]
• Not active, not paid. Commission on a payment that comes in while you are not earning (section 1) is forfeited to SBA. It is not passed to anyone else in the line.
• Empty levels. A level with nobody in it stays with SBA.
• What earns commission: SBA Black plan payments received by SBA. [Confirm: whether SBA Genius and Full SBA payments will earn once their checkout opens.]
• What never earns commission: anyone's bankroll, deposits, wagers or winnings; money moved through OFFRAMP; sportsbook activity of any kind; and your own plan payment.

4. Ranks

Your rank sets your level-1 rate. It replaces the 20%; it is not added to it.

• Active direct member means a person you brought in directly whose paid SBA Black plan is active. Members without a paid plan do not count toward rank.
• Moving up. You move up the moment you qualify, and a new 40-day rank cycle starts.
• The end of a cycle. When a rank cycle ends, you keep the highest rank you still qualify for and a new cycle starts. If you no longer qualify for your rank, you drop on the first day of the new cycle.
• Seated ranks. SBA may seat a member at a rank; they never drop below a seated rank. [Confirm, and state who decides.]

[Decide: whether any one-time rank-up bonuses exist. None are built.]

5. Getting paid

• Cash-outs. You request a cash-out from MY MONEY in SBA Black. It is paid in USDT on the TRON network (TRC-20) to the wallet address you have on file, from $100 up to your available balance, one request at a time.
• Your wallet address. Your first address can be used at once. A changed address can be used 48 hours after the change. You are responsible for giving a correct address; funds sent to the address on file are treated as paid.
• Bank or card payouts. [Open: not offered.]
• After your plan ends. You can still see and cash out what you earned.
• Taxes. Commissions are income to you. [Attorney/accountant: confirm W-9 / W-8 collection, reporting thresholds and the process for crypto payouts.]
• Statements. MY MONEY shows each commission, the level it came from and its status, this cycle and all time.

6. Voided payments and fraud

• Clawback. If a payment you earned on is voided, the commission on it is reversed on every level, and SBA deducts it from your balance or future commissions.
• No clawback on stopping. A member who simply stops paying does not reverse commission already earned on payments they made.
• Fraud. Commissions from fake accounts, self-referrals, stolen funds or rule breaches are forfeited.

7. Promotion rules

You are responsible for every claim you make about SBA, in any channel. Breaking these rules is grounds for withheld commissions and termination.

Always

• Say clearly that you earn commission when someone joins through your link. On social media, put it in the post itself (for example #ad or "I earn a commission"), not only in a bio.
• Say that the plan price is separate from the money someone bets.
• Use SBA's current prices, plan names and rules exactly as published.

Never

• Promise or imply guaranteed profit, "risk-free" betting, or that someone "can't lose".
• Quote income figures, yours or anyone's, as typical or likely. Lifestyle claims (cars, trips, quitting a job) count as income claims.
• Market to anyone under 21, or in places where sports betting or promoting it is unlawful.
• Call yourself an SBA employee, or say or suggest that you take wagers, hold anyone's money or run a sportsbook. "Bookie Program" is SBA's name for this affiliate program; use it only in that sense.
• Send spam, buy ads on SBA's brand names, or create pages, accounts or domains that look like official SBA ones.
• Share board content, plays or prices publicly before the game starts.

The recommended underdog book

Favor The Dog, the underdog book SBA Black recommends, is affiliated with SBA and takes the other side of the underdog bets members place there. Don't describe it as independent of SBA. [Attorney: confirm the wording, and whether affiliates must repeat it when they promote SBA Black.]

[Attorney: review against FTC endorsement guides and business-opportunity rules before launch.]

8. Enforcement, termination and changes

• Warnings and termination. SBA may warn you, withhold commissions tied to a breach, or end this agreement for a breach of section 7 or any fraud. Either side may end it for any reason with 30 days' written notice.
• After termination. Commissions earned before the end date and not subject to clawback are paid on the normal schedule. No commission is earned after the end date.
• Changes to the plan. SBA may change rates, ranks or rules with at least 30 days' notice by email and on the affiliate page. Commissions already earned are never reduced by a change. [Attorney: confirm notice period.]
• Personal rates. Any rate or structure different from this agreement only applies if it is in a written addendum signed by SBA.

Income disclaimer

SBA does not promise that you will earn any money. Most affiliates in programs like this earn little or nothing. What you earn depends entirely on members you refer who keep paying. Any example on SBA's pages is arithmetic, not a typical result. [Publish an annual income disclosure once there is a full year of data.]

General terms

This agreement and the SBA Terms of Service are the whole agreement between you and SBA on the affiliate program. New York law governs, and disputes follow the process in the Terms of Service. If any part is unenforceable, the rest still applies. Contact: info@sportsbetarbitrage.com.
