Affiliate Program Terms & Conditions
Please read these terms carefully before joining the GTO Gecko Affiliate Program.
Last Updated: 14 August 2026
These Affiliate Program Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your participation in the GTO Gecko Affiliate Program ("Program") operated by GTO Solutions AS ("we," "us," or "our"). By applying to the Program, creating an affiliate account, or accepting any commission, you ("Affiliate" or "you") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not apply to the Program.
1. Acceptance & Eligibility
1.1 Age & Capacity
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into binding contracts in your jurisdiction. By applying, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
1.2 Sanctioned Jurisdictions
You must not be a resident of, or located in, any country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions imposed by the United Nations, European Union, United Kingdom, United States, or Norway. We reserve the right to reject or terminate applications from sanctioned jurisdictions.
1.3 Independent Review
All applications are subject to manual review. We may approve, reject, or request further information at our sole discretion. Approval decisions are final, though rejected applicants may re-apply if circumstances change.
2. Program Overview
The Program allows approved Affiliates to earn commission by referring new paying customers to GTO Gecko. Every approved Affiliate receives a unique referral link. We may also assign an optional personal promotion code. Only qualifying web-subscription purchases completed through play.gtogecko.com can generate commission, subject to these Terms and the Affiliate's assigned offer.
2.1 Assigned Offer & Commercial Precedence
The campaign terms shown in your FirstPromoter dashboard and any separate written offer issued by an authorised representative of GTO Solutions AS together form your "Assigned Offer." For commission rate, commission duration, referral window, customer discount, payout threshold, payout schedule, and payout method only, a later written offer issued by us controls over the dashboard, and the Assigned Offer controls over the public defaults in these Terms. All other provisions of these Terms continue to apply.
3. Commission & Cookie
3.1 Commission Rate
Unless the Assigned Offer states otherwise, the default commission is twenty-five percent (25%) recurring on the amount actually collected for a qualifying web-subscription invoice after customer discounts and excluding taxes. Refunds, chargebacks or disputes finally decided against the customer, and other completed reversals reduce or reverse the related commission. The current calculation does not deduct payment-processing fees before applying the commission rate. Partner or Creator rates of 30% or 35% may be manually assigned; rates never change automatically.
3.2 Commission Duration
Commissions are paid for up to twelve (12) months per referred customer, counted from that customer's first paid invoice. After 12 months, commissions on that customer stop, regardless of whether the customer remains subscribed.
3.3 Attribution Cookie
Referral links use a browser-based sixty (60) day attribution window. Attribution is last qualifying click; if a customer uses multiple affiliate links, the most recent eligible interaction before conversion receives credit. Tracking depends on consent, browser and device settings, redirects, and the link reaching the qualifying web flow. We do not guarantee that every visit or purchase can be attributed.
3.4 Server-Side Verification
We reconcile available FirstPromoter data with our server-side web-purchase records before a commission becomes payout-eligible. Our records determine whether a purchase qualifies, subject to reasonable correction of a documented tracking error.
3.5 Web Purchase Eligibility
Affiliate commission applies only to eligible subscription purchases completed through the web checkout at play.gtogecko.com. App Store and Google Play purchases do not qualify for affiliate commission. A customer may use the GTO Gecko product on mobile after buying on the web; the payment channel, not the device used for training, determines eligibility.
4. Payment Terms
4.1 Payment Schedule
Cleared commissions are reviewed for payment during a monthly payout cycle. Payouts are processed manually and are subject to the sixty (60) day clearing period, minimum threshold, valid payment details, and fraud or compliance review described below. Section 2.1 explains how any campaign-specific payment terms in the Assigned Offer apply.
4.2 Minimum Payout
The minimum payout threshold is $50 USD. Cleared balances below $50 roll forward until the threshold is reached or the account is otherwise resolved under these Terms.
4.3 Currency & Method
All commissions are denominated in US Dollars (USD). Eligible payouts are sent as manual Wise transfers using the payment details we request from you. You are responsible for receiving-bank fees, currency-conversion costs, or payout-platform fees charged on your end.
4.4 Clearing Period
Each commission has a sixty (60) day clearing period from the qualifying payment before it can become payout-eligible. A refund, terminally lost chargeback or payment dispute, fraud finding, duplicate attribution, or other completed disqualifying event can reverse the commission during that period. An open dispute may delay review, but does not by itself reverse commission. Section 10 governs reversals discovered later.
4.5 Tax Information
You must provide accurate payment and tax information that we reasonably request before payout. You are solely responsible for taxes on commission income and should consult your own adviser. We do not provide tax advice.
5. Tracking, Promotion Codes & Referral Links
5.1 Approved Channels
You may promote GTO Gecko via your own owned channels (website, blog, newsletter, YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, podcast, community), truthful paid media that complies with Section 7, and one-to-one outreach where permitted by applicable law.
5.2 Promotion Codes
You receive a personal promotion code only if we assign one in your Assigned Offer. An assigned code normally uses a single bare name such as CREATORNAME; its exact customer discount, eligible products, duration, and restrictions are the terms displayed for that code. You may not invent, rename, alter, or misrepresent a promotion code or customer discount.
5.3 No Self-Referrals
You may not refer yourself, members of your household, or any account you directly control, including via alternate payment methods, VPNs, or proxy accounts. Self-referral attempts void the associated commission and may result in termination.
6. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- Bid on our trademarks, brand terms, or close variants (including "GTO Gecko", "gtogecko", common misspellings, or combinations) on any search engine, social network, or ad platform.
- Operate or be the primary promotional channel on coupon, cashback, loyalty, or deal-aggregation sites.
- Cross-promote real-money or real-money-adjacent poker operators (online cardrooms, sweepstakes poker, crypto poker) using your affiliate link. GTO Gecko is a training product and is not associated with real-money poker operators.
- Send unsolicited bulk email (spam), SMS, or messaging-platform broadcasts. All email promotion must comply with CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and all other applicable laws.
- Use our name, logo, screenshots, or other assets in a misleading way, or imply an endorsement, partnership, or employment relationship that does not exist.
- Make false, exaggerated, or unverifiable claims about earnings, results, or product capabilities.
- Purchase ads or place promotional content on sites or platforms that host illegal, pirated, adult, hateful, or harassing content.
- Engage in cookie stuffing, iframe stuffing, click injection, fake-click generation, bot traffic, or any other artificial or fraudulent tracking activity.
- Share, sell, or transfer your affiliate account credentials; each affiliate account is individual.
7. Paid Media
You may run paid media to promote GTO Gecko on channels you operate, subject to Section 6. Any paid media must clearly identify you (not GTO Solutions AS) as the advertiser. Landing pages must be your own; you may not link paid ads directly to GTO Gecko-owned domains without written approval. We reserve the right to require takedown of any paid media that violates these Terms or damages the brand.
8. Disclosures
You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your affiliate relationship with GTO Gecko wherever you promote the Program, in accordance with FTC 16 CFR Part 255 (United States), the UK CAP Code, the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, and any other disclosure rules that apply in your jurisdiction. A typical compliant disclosure includes language such as "I earn a commission if you subscribe through my link, at no extra cost to you."
9. Intellectual Property License
9.1 Limited License to You
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use GTO Gecko logos, screenshots, banners, and other marketing assets ("Marketing Assets") solely for the purpose of promoting GTO Gecko under these Terms. You must use Marketing Assets as-provided and may not modify them except for reasonable resizing.
9.2 Our Rights
All right, title, and interest in and to GTO Gecko, the Program, Marketing Assets, and all related intellectual property remain with GTO Solutions AS. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you.
9.3 Your Content
You retain ownership of content you create to promote the Program. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to feature, repost, or excerpt such content (with attribution) on our owned channels during and after your participation in the Program.
10. Refunds, Chargebacks & Clawbacks
If a referred customer receives a refund, or a chargeback or payment dispute is finally resolved against the customer, the associated commission is reversed. Opening or maintaining a dispute does not by itself reverse commission, although we may keep the related commission pending while the dispute remains open. If completed reversals exceed your pending balance, the negative balance is carried forward against future commissions. We may, at our discretion, claw back commissions from prior paid periods in cases of fraud, abuse, or systemic chargeback activity tied to your promotional methods.
11. Confidentiality
Non-public data visible in your affiliate dashboard — including referred-customer emails (where shown unmasked), internal revenue figures, product roadmap details, and private communications from GTO Solutions AS — is confidential. You agree not to disclose, sell, or publish this information.
12. Term & Termination
12.1 Term
These Terms take effect when your application is approved and continue until terminated by either party.
12.2 Termination by You
You may terminate at any time by emailing info@gtogecko.com. Qualifying cleared commissions above the minimum payout threshold will be handled according to the normal schedule, subject to these Terms.
12.3 Termination by Us
We may suspend or terminate your participation at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including breach of these Terms, fraudulent activity, brand-damaging conduct, or discontinuation of the Program. On termination for cause, unpaid commissions may be forfeited.
12.4 Effect of Termination
Upon termination, your referral link and any assigned promotion code will be deactivated. Sections 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, and 16 survive termination.
13. Modification of Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated by email to the address on your affiliate account and posted at this URL with a revised "Last Updated" date. Continued participation in the Program after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept a change, your sole remedy is to terminate under Section 12.2.
14. Disclaimers
The Program is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee any specific level of earnings, referrals, or conversion. Tracking systems may experience occasional outages or inaccuracies; we will make reasonable efforts to resolve tracking issues but are not liable for lost commissions caused by third-party ad-blockers, browser privacy features, customer consent settings, or similar factors outside our control.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, GTO Solutions AS and its officers, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to the Program. Our aggregate liability to you under these Terms in any twelve-month period shall not exceed the total commissions paid to you during that period.
16. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GTO Solutions AS and its officers, employees, and affiliates from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your promotional content or methods, (c) your violation of any applicable law, or (d) your infringement of any third-party rights.
17. Relationship of the Parties
You are an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship between you and GTO Solutions AS. You have no authority to bind GTO Solutions AS or make representations on its behalf.
18. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of Norway, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The parties agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by written notice for thirty (30) days. Unresolved disputes shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Oslo, Norway.
19. Severability & Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. These Terms, the applicable Assigned Offer, our Terms of Use, and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and GTO Solutions AS regarding the Program and supersede prior agreements on the subject. Section 2.1 controls conflicts involving the listed commercial fields; for any other conflict, these Terms control over the Assigned Offer.
