What is revenue share in CS2 betting?
Revenue share compounds over time — a good cohort of players can generate commissions for years after the initial referral. Typical CS2 sportsbook revshare rates run 20–30%; casino rates can reach 35–40% for high-volume affiliates. The tradeoff vs CPA is the opposite: revenue share has unlimited upside but zero payout for a dud cohort. Most professional affiliates negotiate hybrid deals that blend both. Operators sometimes apply "negative carryover" — a month where the affiliate's players net-lose less than the operator's costs on them (heavy bonuses, chargebacks) rolls forward to reduce the next month's commission.
