1) If I refer two players, one loses 100 BTC in a month and the other wins 100 BTC in the same month, how much do I get for having referred them both?
1) If you were on the 30% plan in that situation you would earn 30 Bitcoin at the end of the month.
That seems like a mistake. The combinated player EV for the two bets is -1% of 200 BTC, or -2 BTC. The affiliate's EV is more like +30 BTC. It seems to me that to cover this difference you and the investors need to somehow make up the extra 28 BTC of EV.
2) Do you allow "rakeback deals"? Like where I refer a player and offer him half of my earnings from him as rakeback.
2) No. If you read the terms you must have a website or large social media presence to be in the program. If I suspect that you are offering rakeback deals through your site then I will deny the application. You don't get to just hand out a referral link without first being approved.
I don't see why you would care how an affiliate spends his earnings. If he wants to give some of it to the people he referred, why would that bother you? It would probably encourage them to play more and lose more, so it would be good for you. The bottom line is the same for you whatever the affiliate does with the coins he earns from your program isn't it?
Regarding the small print. I would rather I didn't need to even have to put in such terms but there's a lot of people that always try and find some way to interpret things a way they were not intended to be and then cause all kinds of hassle so I put in a blanket statement like that in case of an extreme case I need to use it.
I think it's better to be specific, like:
1) work out a set of terms and conditions that works
2) write them down
3) stick to them
Rather than having vague but unrealistic terms and conditions and adding "but none of this is binding" at the end as a catch all.
For example, the case I'm pointing out. Maybe you don't want someone referring two players who each bet 100 BTC because they see it's +EV to cooperate in such a way. If so, you really need to reconsider the whole scheme, rather than waiting for it to happen, deciding you don't want to pay out the 30 BTC and saying "we're not going to pay, and we don't have to tell you why due to the terms you agreed to".

1) Yeah that's something that we discussed and it seems what you suggest is likely the best method. It may put large potential affiliates off though.
I'll review that.
2) It minimises there being the issue of affiliates trying to poach people off other affiliates or promotions from PRC.
I understand what you are saying about the terms but I will include a catch all just now, it's still standard on pretty much all sites. The terms will be finalised over the next few days also with a better promo page and tools for affiliates to use.
I'm looking to see what the initial interest in such a program is. I've not verified any affiliates yet and won't until there are more defined terms.
