* **Net PnL Cut %:** Percentage from the Net PnL of sub-affiliates.<br>

{% hint style="warning" %}

\&#xNAN;***Net PnL Cut %*** is awarded to master affiliate *only* from players who are in RevShare/Hybrid deal. Players who are in a CPA deal but generated Net PnL are **not** contributing to the master affiliate's commission.
{% endhint %}

{% endhint %}

### How to set up a default Sub-Affiliate deal

In TAP there is a possibility to create a default master affiliate deal (in the DEFAULT\_AFFILIATE profile) \
Default Sub-Affiliate deal will be copied to newly approved affiliates.\
That means that every newly approved affiliate will be considered a Master affiliate and it will be possible for them to receive commission from Sub-Affiliates.\
Creating a default Sub-Affiliate deal won’t deprive you from the possibility to update manually the Sub-Affiliate deal in any affiliate profile.\
\
1\. Go to settings and set "*Copy default sub-affiliate deal on affiliate approve*"  to "*YES"*<br>

2.Click on *Save*\
\
3\. Go to *DEFAULT\_AFFILIATE* 's account and create a Sub-Affiliate deal. The latest version of this deal will be copied automatically to newly approved affiliates.

### How to modify an existing Sub-Affiliate deal

To change a sub-affiliate deal, you have to click the "edit" button on the already created sub-affiliate deal.\
Any modifications made to the sub-affiliate deal is applied to all players associated with the sub-affiliate/s, and will not trigger retroactive adjustments to commissions for activities that occurred before the change.\
Each sub-affiliate deal version has an **activity period**, defining the timeframe during which the deal terms are applicable. Commissions for activities within this period are calculated based on the deal version active at the time.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Any changes to existing deals, ***including sub-affiliate deals***, take effect starting at 00:00:00 UTC on the day after the modification.
{% endhint %}

### How to assign Master Affiliate to an already approved Sub-Affiliate

You can manually assign Master Affiliate to a Sub-Affiliate who has already been approved, has generated commission of his own and *doesn't have Master Affiliate yet.*\
If you want to perform this action, you must first enable it in Settings<br>

<figure><img src="/files/wU0aBUuBaMF0RDX4ZSfO" alt="" width="411"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="danger" %}
If a Sub-Affiliate is already related to a Master Affiliate and has generated commission of his own, Master Affiliate ***can not be changed/removed*** and Sub-Master Affiliate relation can not be broken.
{% endhint %}

## Multi-Level Affiliate Network Management

Multi-Level Affiliate Network Management enables affiliates to build their own sub-affiliate networks. You can define the network depth limit to determine the structure. This setting specifies the maximum number of levels or tiers within your network hierarchy.

{% hint style="success" %}
Contact your Account Manager (AM) to enable multi-level affiliate network for your operation.
