Qualified FTD
A first-time deposit meeting all the deal's qualification criteria — minimum amount, GEO, payment method, wagering activity — and therefore payable.
Not every FTD earns commission; a qualified FTD is one that clears the deal’s conditions: deposit at least €20, from an allowed country, wager at least once, pass fraud review.
Where disputes are born
The gap between raw FTDs and qualified FTDs is the most contested number in affiliate reporting. Every criterion must be measurable and stated in the agreement — “quality traffic” is not a criterion, it’s a future argument. Operators should expose qualification status (and failure reasons) in the affiliate portal; the alternative is answering the same ticket four hundred times a year.
