Publisher Terms
Updated
These terms apply to the DiceGem publisher programme, which lets website owners (“you”, “the publisher”) embed DiceGem games and share in the advertising revenue they earn. You accept them when you create a publisher account at partners.dicegem.com. Our terms of service and privacy policy also apply.
1. Your account
- You must be at least 18 and able to enter into a contract. If you sign up for a company, you confirm you may bind it.
- Keep your login details secret and turn on two-step verification. You are responsible for activity under your account.
- Give us accurate contact and payment details and keep them up to date.
2. Sites
- Each site where you embed our games must be added to your account and verified, either with a DNS TXT record or a verification file on the domain. You may only add sites you control.
- We review sites before they earn revenue and may decline, suspend or remove a site, for example if it hosts unlawful content, content unsuitable next to games, or real-money gambling promotion aimed at minors.
- Our casino-style games use virtual credits only. Do not present them as real-money gambling, attach prizes to them, or place them where gambling advertising is prohibited.
3. Embedding
- Embed our games only with the code from your publisher dashboard, unchanged. Do not alter, frame over, hide or remove the games, their notices or their advertising.
- Do not encourage, require or reward clicks or views of ads, and do not generate traffic with bots, scripts, paid click schemes or incentivised play.
4. Revenue share
- Each month we take the advertising revenue earned through games on the publisher network and set aside the publisher share shown in your account (40% unless we agree another figure with you in writing).
- That pool is divided among publishers in proportion to the ads shown on their approved sites that month. Traffic from a site that is suspended or rejected before the month is closed does not count.
- Your dashboard shows statistics for your sites and your monthly payouts. A month’s figures are final only when we close it.
5. Payouts
- Payouts are made in US dollars by PayPal or bank transfer, to the method saved in your account.
- The minimum payout is $100. A smaller balance carries over to the next month until it reaches the minimum.
- If your payout method changed in the last 72 hours, we may confirm the change with you before paying, to protect you from account takeover.
- You are responsible for any taxes on your earnings and for the fees your bank or PayPal charges you.
6. Invalid traffic and holds
We monitor traffic for fraud. We may hold a payout while we investigate, and we will not pay for traffic we reasonably find invalid (for example bot traffic, self-clicks, or activity that our advertising partner does not pay us for). A held payout shows the reason in your dashboard. Payouts for an account that is not active are held until the account is active again.
7. Ending the agreement
You may stop embedding our games and close your account at any time by writing to [email protected]. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms. Earned, valid balances above the minimum are paid out after closure unless they are held under section 6.
8. Data
You receive aggregated statistics for your own sites only. We process your account and payment details as described in our privacy policy. You are responsible for your own site’s privacy notices and, where required, for obtaining consent for the advertising shown on your pages.
9. Liability
The programme is provided “as is”. We do not guarantee any level of traffic or earnings, or that the games will always be available. To the extent the law allows, neither side is liable to the other for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability to you is limited to the amounts we paid you in the previous twelve months. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
10. Changes
We may change these terms. We will tell you by email or in your dashboard at least 30 days before a change that reduces your revenue share or payout rights takes effect; you may close your account before then.
11. Governing law and contact
These terms are governed by the applicable law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Questions: [email protected]; legal matters: [email protected].
