About the Crikey7 Affiliate Program
Crikey7 is the largest brand in the MatesWin partnership portfolio, with more than 4,000 pokies, a mature loyalty programme and one of the strongest player retention profiles among Australian-facing online casinos. For affiliates, that translates into longer lifetime referral value — players you bring to Crikey7 tend to stay and play regularly, which compounds your weekly net loss total and pushes you into higher commission tiers faster.
The Crikey7 affiliate program is operated through MatesWin using the same commission structure as Bonza7 and Dinkum33. Your referral's weekly net loss combines across all three brands into a single tier — so promoting Crikey7 alongside the other two gets you to 7%, 8%, and 8.5% faster than promoting any one brand alone.
Commission Breakdown
The Crikey7 affiliate commission is tiered by weekly net loss — your referred players' total deposits minus withdrawals for the Monday-to-Sunday week:
- Under AUD 5,000 weekly net loss — 5% commission (Credit, ×3 wagering)
- AUD 5,000 – 10,000 — 6% (Credit, ×3 wagering)
- AUD 10,001 – 20,000 — 7% (Credit, ×3 wagering)
- AUD 20,001 – 30,000 — 8% (Credit, ×3 wagering)
- AUD 30,001 – 40,000 — 8% (Cash / Credit split)
- AUD 40,001 – 50,000 — 8.5% (Cash / Credit split)
At Tier 5 and above, you choose between 100% Credit (×3 wagering on Crikey7) or 50% Cash + 50% Credit — the cash half lands directly in your nominated Australian bank account the following Monday. Use the earnings calculator to see exactly what each tier pays for different net loss amounts.
Why Promote Crikey7 Specifically
Audience fit
Crikey7 works best for audiences that value variety and a trusted, long-established platform. If you run a community of regular pokies players, run a pokies-focused blog, or stream gaming content to an Australian audience over 18, Crikey7 converts well because players stay.
Retention advantage
Among the three MatesWin brands, Crikey7 has the highest 30-day player retention. Players you refer are more likely to still be depositing in week 4 — so your weekly net loss base compounds rather than churning.
Low entry barrier
Crikey7 accepts deposits from AUD 20, which means you can refer budget-flexible players without losing them to minimum-deposit friction. This keeps your referred-player count high and your tier progression smooth.

Restrictions & Requirements

Crikey7 vs Other MatesWin Brands
All three brands — Crikey7, Bonza7 and Dinkum33 — pay the same commission rates under the MatesWin program. The question is which audience you can bring best:
- Crikey7 — volume and retention focus, best for mixed-audience creators
- Bonza7 — mobile-first and social, best for influencers and younger audiences
- Dinkum33 — premium and VIP-focused, best for affiliates with high-roller connections
You can promote all three and combine their net loss into one weekly tier. Most active MatesWin affiliates promote at least two.
Responsible Promotion
MatesWin and Crikey7 require affiliates to promote gambling responsibly: always include 18+ disclosure, avoid targeting vulnerable audiences, and refer to BetStop national self-exclusion register or Gambling Help Online where relevant. Breaching responsible promotion guidelines results in commission forfeiture and program removal.
