What is NGR in CS2 betting?
NGR is the post-deduction version of GGR. When an operator pays an affiliate 30% "revenue share", they usually mean 30% of NGR — which can be meaningfully lower than 30% of the gross because bonuses and fees are removed first. NGR matters for anyone betting via an affiliate link or running a tracking dashboard because it's the number that actually drives commissions and revenue reporting. A well-managed operator targets NGR margins of 5–15% on sportsbook and 3–8% on casino.
