Formula and example
GGR shows how much the casino won from players. NGR shows how much of that is left after part of it went back to players as bonuses and the tax was paid.
What is deducted
Almost always: bonuses that turned into real money, and gaming taxes. Often also: game provider fees, payment fees and the platform fee.
There is no single definition. RevShare contracts with affiliates list the deductions separately, and that list decides how much you pay: 35% of NGR gives different money under different deductions. More in the article on RevShare.
How to judge a bonus by NGR
A bonus is judged by the NGR it brought in: GGR from play with the bonus minus the cost of the bonus itself. Comparing it with the same deposit without a bonus is wrong: without the offer, the player might not have come at all, or not come back.
This is how the bonus cost calculator works: it shows session NGR and the bonus share of GGR.
Common mistakes
- Deducting bonuses at the credited amount. Deduct what turned into real money. Most credited bonuses are lost during wagering.
- Not fixing the deductions in the affiliate contract. Later every line item and every month turns into a dispute.
- Comparing NGR across countries. Taxes differ by market. For comparisons, use GGR and Bonus Rate.
