Short answer

Open the Crikey7 livechat at crikey7.com, tell the agent you want to join the affiliate program, and you will be issued a unique tracking link within minutes. There is no online application form — Crikey7 runs affiliate onboarding through its 24/7 Australian livechat. You must be 18 or older, operate a real traffic channel (website, social, community, email), and promote to adult Australian audiences only. Commission is 5% to 8.5% of weekly net loss, paid every Monday. 18+. Gamble responsibly.

Requirements to become a Crikey7 affiliate

Crikey7's affiliate onboarding is light on bureaucracy but firm on eligibility. You need:

How to apply (step by step)

  1. Open the Crikey7 livechat at crikey7.com. The chat bubble is in the bottom-right of any page, available 24/7 in Australian hours.
  2. Tell the agent: "I want to join the affiliate program." The agent screens basic eligibility — age, country, traffic channel — in the chat itself.
  3. Receive your tracking link. A unique Crikey7 referral URL is issued within minutes. The first depositor who signs up through your link locks attribution — not just on Crikey7 but across all three MatesWin brands.
  4. Start promoting. Share the link through your content. The referrer's identity is tracked at the account level, so a player who signs up via your Crikey7 link and later plays at Bonza7 or Dinkum33 still credits back to you.
  5. First payout. Commission is calculated for the Monday-to-Sunday week and paid the following Monday. The agent confirms the current minimum payout threshold and payment method during signup.

Why pick Crikey7 as your lead brand

Among the three MatesWin brands, Crikey7 is the heritage / loyalty brand — the one with the deepest game library and the strongest long-term loyalty program. This matters for affiliates because the retention profile of Crikey7 referrals is typically the longest: the same player contributes to your weekly tier for months, not weeks.

If your audience is established Australian players who care about a deep catalogue, steady promotions and a mature loyalty track, lead with Crikey7. If your audience is mobile-first and social, lead with Bonza7. If you target premium / high-roller players, lead with Dinkum33. You can — and probably should — promote all three.

Frequently asked questions

How do I become a Crikey7 affiliate?

Open Crikey7 livechat at crikey7.com, say you want to join the affiliate program, and you will be issued a tracking link within minutes. There is no online form.

Do I need a website?

No. Any functioning channel with real audience — website, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Telegram, Discord, podcast, email list — works. You need real reach, not a specific format.

What does Crikey7 pay affiliates?

Five percent to 8.5% of weekly net loss, tiered, paid every Monday. Cash option unlocks at AUD 30,001+ weekly net loss. See the table above.

Is the program open to non-Australians?

Crikey7's audience is Australian, and your referrals must be adult Australian players. Non-AU residents can still operate an affiliate account if their channel reaches AU adults and they comply with Australian advertising and responsible-gambling standards.

Can I run paid ads?

You can, on platforms that allow gambling advertising for AU audiences. Google Ads and Meta largely do not. You must not bid on "Crikey7" or "MatesWin" trademark keywords without written permission.

How do I track my referrals?

Your livechat agent provides a reporting portal login after signup. Referrals, deposits, net loss and current tier are visible in real time. Attribution is first-touch at the account level.
