Our verdict on each
Kinguin
Kinguin suits gaming publishers who sell one-off orders and want a named company to pay them. It pays Up to 10% per sale on a cps model, with payouts Weekly on request once a balance clears €30, so the reward is quick volume rather than long-tail recurring income.
Oxylabs
Oxylabs suits publishers who can land a few high value buyers rather than a long tail of small accounts. The programme pays 50% per sale up to $2000 on a cpa model, so a single conversion carries the month and lead volume is not the lever that matters here.

Pros and cons
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.
Oxylabs
Pros
- Terms of 50% per sale up to $2000 put a hard ceiling on a sale, so a small number of conversions can carry a full cycle.
- A cpa payout at 50% is easier to model than Up to 100% first-year sales from the monday affiliate programme.
- The programme runs on HasOffers (TUNE), so tracking and payouts sit with a network publishers already use.
Cons
- Recurring commission is no, so a sale pays once: 25-30% recurring for 12 months at Jasper and 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months at FirstPromoter keep paying on the same account.
- Support runs on email only, so tracking questions travel by email between campaigns.
- Commission under the $25 threshold waits for a cycle to close, so cash flow matters more here than on a lower bar programme.
Who each suits
Kinguin
Who it suits
- Gaming publishers with steady referred order volume who can keep producing fresh referrals
- 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
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers chasing recurring income: FirstPromoter pays 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months.
- Anyone after a large first-year rate on a subscription product: the monday affiliate programme pays Up to 100% first-year sales.
- Publishers selling AI tooling and wanting repeat commissions: Jasper pays 25-30% recurring for 12 months.
Oxylabs
Who it suits
- Publishers with technical or developer audiences, since the verticals are security and hosting.
- Networks and media buyers already inside HasOffers (TUNE), which is the listed payout route.
- Anyone modelling earnings on a single conversion, because 50% per sale up to $2000 makes a capped per sale payment the whole calculation.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers chasing recurring revenue, who earn more from 25-30% recurring for 12 months at Jasper or 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months at FirstPromoter.
- Publishers who need live chat or phone answers, since support runs on email.
- Publishers spreading effort across many small accounts, since 50% per sale up to $2000 rewards fewer, larger conversions.
Questions about each
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.
Oxylabs
What commission does the Oxylabs affiliate programme pay?+
Oxylabs pays 50% per sale up to $2000, at a commission rate of 50% on a cpa model, with the cap on a sale set at $2,000. A publisher is better served aiming a small number of high value subscriptions rather than chasing many small accounts, because the payment per conversion is what carries a month's earnings.
Is the Oxylabs programme recurring?+
Recurring commission is no, so a conversion pays once and that account contributes nothing after the first sale. Jasper at 25-30% recurring for 12 months and FirstPromoter at 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months both keep paying over the following year, which matters if the subscribers you send stick around.
