Pros and cons
Kash Marketplace
Pros
- Recurring commission on a revenue share model, so earnings build with each plan payment
- A 90 day window, well past the 30 day median across programmes
- Joined directly with Kash Marketplace, with no intermediary network in the chain
Cons
- Commission is limited to 5% of plan payments and sale fees, lower than the 25-30% recurring for 12 months and 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months on offer nearby
- Payouts are a monthly manual payout, so balances sit until the next cycle
- The programme sits in retail only, which narrows the audiences you can write for
Kinguin
Pros
- The programme is listed as direct and runs through Awin and CJ Affiliate, so approval and reporting happen where publishers already work.
- Payouts clear at €30 and go out by PayPal and bank transfer, mainstream rails that need little setup.
- Coverage is global, so one account reaches players well past a single market.
Cons
- There is no recurring commission, so a player's second purchase is worth nothing unless the referral is repeated.
- The rate tops out at Up to 10% per sale, a long way below the recurring terms at 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months.
- Support runs on chat and help centre only, so a publisher who needs a voice call has no listed route.

- Publishers already approved on Awin and CJ Affiliate who want the same networks for a gaming offer
- Sites with an international audience, since coverage is global

Questions about each
Kash Marketplace
What commission does Kash Marketplace pay?+
Kash Marketplace pays 5% of plan payments and sale fees, on a revenue share basis. Because recurring commission applies, publishers earn on later payments from the same buyer rather than a single fee. Joined directly, with no network in between.
How long is the cookie window?+
The window runs 90 days from the referral. That is a long window beside the 30 day median across the programmes tracked here, so a buyer can take their time before buying and the referral still counts.
Kinguin
How much does Kinguin pay per sale?+
Commission is Up to 10% per sale, paid on a cps basis, so a completed order earns once and stops there. The rate is a percentage of the sale, which means order value drives earnings. Order value, not traffic volume on its own, is what moves the number.
Is the commission recurring?+
Recurring commission is not part of the deal, so every sale has to be a fresh referral. Players who keep buying generate nothing for a publisher unless they are sent again. For a steadier earn, FirstPromoter lists 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months, which pays on repeat purchases too.
