               The Affiliate fee can vary between a Revenue Share, a Cost Per Acquisition or combination of both (Hybrid) and will be determined by the Program that the Affiliate will join, following the specific calculation methods set out in a specific Program to be found on http://www.mycasinoshare.com/partner-programs/ , which may be subject to change.
