Earn 30% of every payment your viewers make
Make videos or streams about Old School RuneScape, Albion Online or another game with Premium tools? Give your viewers 20% off their first payment, and earn 30% of each payment they make for up to three years.
1.Apply
Log in, tell us about your channel and pick your code. We look at every application by hand and answer within a few days.
2.Share your code
Your viewers get 20% off their first payment with your code or link, on top of the 7-day free trial. Mark every mention as an ad, as the rules ask.
3.Get paid
You earn 30% of every payment they make, monthly or yearly, for up to three years. Payouts go out monthly from €25, by bank transfer, PayPal or Wise.
The deal, in numbers
- 30%
- of every payment, excluding VAT, for up to 36 months per subscriber
- 20% off
- your viewers' first payment, monthly or yearly, after the 7-day free trial
- €25
- minimum for a monthly payout, by SEPA bank transfer, PayPal or Wise
The rules, in short
- You're 18 or older and have a GameMargins account.
- Every mention is recognisable as an ad at once: say it out loud, put #ad or “affiliate link” in the description, and switch on YouTube's paid-promotion box or Twitch's branded-content setting.
- No profit promises, no suggestion that we're tied to Jagex, EA or Sandbox Interactive, nothing that promotes bots, gold selling or gambling.
- No coupon or deal sites, no ads on the GameMargins name, no spam, self-referrals or fake accounts.
The full rules are in the creator terms. We check videos and streams for clear disclosure; the law asks that of both of us.
Questions
How much is that per subscriber?
Premium costs €3.50 a month or €35 a year, VAT included. Your 30% is of the price without VAT: about €0.87 per monthly payment and €8.68 per yearly one (a little less on the first payment, because of the viewer's discount). Over three years that adds up to about €31 for a monthly subscriber and €24 for a yearly one.
How do you know a subscriber came from me?
By your code. A viewer who follows your link sees your code on the Premium page; it stays with them while they browse, is saved on their account when they log in or sign up, and gives the discount at checkout. The first code wins, one creator per customer, and existing or past subscribers can't be attributed. No tracking cookies.
What do I see?
Totals: clicks on your link, sign-ups, trials, paying subscribers, and what you earned, what is pending, payable and paid. Never who your viewers are.
When is a commission paid?
A commission becomes payable 30 days after the payment (Stripe can refund up to 60 days; a refund or chargeback takes its commission back, also against a later payout). Once your payable balance is €25 or more, the next monthly payout includes it, with a self-billing statement for your books.
Do I get Premium?
Yes, free, for as long as you're an active creator.
Which games?
Any game with Premium tools: Old School RuneScape and Albion Online now; more as their tools become Premium.
What about taxes?
You get a self-billing statement per payout. A Dutch business with VAT is paid with 21% VAT on top; a business elsewhere gets the VAT reverse-charged; private individuals and Dutch businesses under the small businesses scheme are paid without VAT. Income tax is your own affair.
