Customers bets less any winnings, bonuses, jackpot contribution, jurisdictional gaming duties and administration fees. The administration fee contains game provider fees and financial transaction fees.

4.3 Should a customer process a charge back, the disputed or charged-back revenue generated by yourself will be forfeited and therefore deducted from the total balance due to you for the current month. If this deduction of the accumulated revenue exceeds your current amount due, your balance will then revert to a negative balance, and you will have to earn revenue to cover the charge-back before you can start earning revenue again.
