Short answer
Dinkum33 has six affiliate levels from 5% (Level 1, under AUD 5,000 weekly combined net loss) to 8.5% (Level 6, AUD 40,001–50,000). Levels reset every Monday — no permanent rank, no negative carryover. Levels 5 and 6 unlock Cash-or-Credit choice; Levels 1–4 pay Credit with 3× wagering. The combined-volume rule is the key: Crikey7 + Bonza7 + Dinkum33 net loss is summed, so promoting all three reaches higher levels faster. 18+. Gamble responsibly.
The six Dinkum33 affiliate levels
| Level | Combined weekly net loss (AUD) | Commission | Payout |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Under 5,000 | 5% | Credit (×3 wagering) |
| 2 | 5,000 – 10,000 | 6% | Credit (×3 wagering) |
| 3 | 10,001 – 20,000 | 7% | Credit (×3 wagering) |
| 4 | 20,001 – 30,000 | 8% | Credit (×3 wagering) |
| 5 | 30,001 – 40,000 | 8% | Cash or Credit choice |
| 6 | 40,001 – 50,000 | 8.5% | Cash or Credit choice |
Levels apply whole-band, not progressively — if combined weekly net loss lands in Level 3, the 7% rate applies to the entire weekly total, not just the portion above the Level 2 threshold.
Qualification rules
The level you reach in any given week depends on a single number: combined weekly net loss across all your referred players, summed across Crikey7, Bonza7 and Dinkum33.
- Net loss = referral deposits minus referral withdrawals during the Monday-to-Sunday week
- Combined = summed across all three MatesWin brands
- Bonus funds, free spins and tournament credits are excluded from the calculation
- Failed deposits and reversed transactions are excluded
- Each Monday starts a fresh week — no historical accumulation
This is not a CPA model (no per-signup payment) and not a traditional revenue share (no NGR deductions for bonus costs, fees or tax). It is Tiered Net Loss — a structural model explained in the casino affiliate commission structure guide.
Cash or Credit choice (Level 5 and 6 only)
The most material structural feature. At Levels 5 and 6, you can elect to take 50% of commission as Cash (no wagering required, paid directly to bank) and 50% as Credit (3× wagering before withdrawal). At Levels 1–4 there is no choice — payout is 100% Credit with 3× wagering.
Quick rule of thumb on the choice (when available):
- Take 100% Credit if you personally play and intend to wager anyway. Credit converts through normal play; the 3× requirement is light against real turnover.
- Take 50% Cash + 50% Credit if you do not play. Cash pays out immediately; the Credit half can be used for promotions or future deposits.
The choice is made at payout time, not at affiliate signup. You can switch week to week.
Worked examples — how each level pays
Level 1 — small affiliate week. Eight referrals across the three brands with combined net loss of AUD 3,800. Level 1 (under AUD 5,000). Commission = 5% × AUD 3,800 = AUD 190 Credit (3× wagering = AUD 570 playthrough).
Level 3 — mid-size affiliate week. Combined net loss of AUD 14,200. Level 3 (10,001–20,000). Commission = 7% × AUD 14,200 = AUD 994 Credit (3× wagering = AUD 2,982 playthrough). Just AUD 5,800 more in net loss reaches Level 4 (8%).
Level 6 — peak with Cash choice. Combined net loss of AUD 44,500. Level 6 (40,001–50,000). Commission = 8.5% × AUD 44,500 = AUD 3,782.50. Choices: take 100% Credit (3× wagering = AUD 11,347.50 playthrough), or 50% Cash AUD 1,891.25 (no wagering) + 50% Credit AUD 1,891.25 (3× wagering = AUD 5,673.75 playthrough).
Upgrade path — how to reach higher levels
The combined-volume rule is the most important strategic detail. Single-brand affiliates hit invisible level ceilings because they need huge per-brand volume to reach Level 5–6. Multi-brand affiliates reach the same levels with more modest per-brand volumes.
Concrete example:
- A Dinkum33-only affiliate generating AUD 8,000 weekly stays at Level 2 (6%, AUD 480 commission)
- The same affiliate also promoting Crikey7 and Bonza7, picking up AUD 4,000 combined from those, totals AUD 12,000 → Level 3 (7%) → AUD 840 commission on the same first AUD 8,000 plus full 7% on the additional AUD 4,000 = AUD 75% more income for the same Dinkum33 traffic
This is why the program is called unified MatesWin rather than three separate brand programs.
How Dinkum33 affiliate levels compare
Quick comparison against alternative AU affiliate models:
- vs CPA programs (AUD 80–250 per qualifying signup): CPA is better for short campaigns and unproven funnels; Dinkum33 levels reward sustained engaged traffic
- vs traditional Revenue Share (25–45% headline, ~60–75% effective after deductions): Dinkum33 levels look lower on paper (5–8.5%) but pay on raw net loss with no deductions and no negative carryover
- vs Hybrid (small CPA + reduced revshare): Hybrid splits the difference but compounds the casino's margin on both sides

Frequently asked questions
Are levels permanent?
No. Levels reset every Monday. Whichever level your combined weekly net loss reaches in a given Monday-to-Sunday week is the rate applied for that week. The next week starts fresh.
What is the minimum payout to receive commission?
The minimum payout threshold is confirmed at signup. Below threshold, commission rolls forward to the next cycle. Once reached, payout is automatic on the weekly cycle.
How is the combined net loss calculated technically?
Each referred player's deposits and withdrawals are tracked per brand. Bonuses, free spins, reversed transactions and failed deposits are excluded. Net loss per player is summed across all your referrals across all three brands; the resulting combined weekly figure determines your level.
Can I see live tier progress mid-week?
Yes — the affiliate portal (provided after signup) shows real-time combined net loss, current level and projected commission for the in-progress week.
What if a referral self-excludes mid-week?
Net loss accrued before self-exclusion still counts toward your level. Future weeks simply do not include that player going forward. There is no clawback.
