Can a sports betting affiliate get paid based on customers' losses after January 2027 in Australia?
Direct answer
From 1 January 2027, Australia’s 2026 reform law prohibits licensed interactive wagering providers from paying or promising commissions tied to defined CUSTOMER ACTIVITY (including account opening, deposits and wagering). The exact affiliate remuneration structure needs legal review; do not assume revenue share based on losses is permitted.
