AFFILIATE COMMISSION PROGRAM How to become a United Games Affiliate Affiliates with United Games are people independently contracted to help share apps, and are compensated according to the program explained here. Anyone, 18 or older, can participate in the United Games Affiliate Commission Program by simply creating a United Games Affiliate Account. A one-time business suite cost of $29.99 is required to join the Affiliate program. Beginning September 22, 2016 this cost will increase to $39.99. In addition, the monthly technology subscription is required to keep your Affiliate account active (current cost $9.99). Affiliates are permitted to refer other Affiliates and are financially rewarded when those they referred generate player revenue in the app. If at any time you no longer wish to participate as an Affiliate, you may cancel your Affiliate membership by contacting us at: support.unitedgames.com. Please note that once an Affiliate account has been cancelled, you may not create a new account for six months.

3 Ways to earn as a United Games Affiliate

1

Commissions for Tokens ACQUIRED

Get paid when you introduce the app and tokens are acquired! Every Affiliate has the ability to share the United Games app with others, inviting them to download the app and join in the fun. When they download the app from your invitation, that player will forever be linked to that Affiliate. Each time any player that is linked to you acquires a token, you earn a commission. Tokens can be acquired through in-app purchases, discounted bulk purchases, or through monthly membership. Tokens may also be acquired by participating in offers from in-game advertisers. The commission percentage is paid based on which Tier the volume is assigned to. The tiered percentage on tokens acquired is shown in the following chart. Commissions for TOKENS ACQUIRED Zone 1

This means that you not only can get paid on the token volume from the people who you share the app with, but you also get paid on the token volume of the people they share with as well, as long as you are qualified to do so. Commissions can be earned up to nine (9) Tiers down, based upon which zone you have unlocked in the commission plan during that commission month.



2 Commissions for Tokens PLAYED Get paid when you invite others to play in individual games! When a game is organized, a temporary tiered organization is formed according to who invited who to play in that game. When you join that game, and you invite someone to play in that game with you, as an Affiliate you will earn a commission on the tokens spent by your invited players during that game. This commission is also multi-tiered, which means that you not only get paid on the tokens spent from the people who you invite, but you also get paid on the token played by the people they invite as well, up to four (4) Tiers down, based upon the zone you have unlocked that month. Players (who are not Affiliates) who invite other players do not earn commissions for those they invited. Therefore, those commission that would have been earned are paid to the Affiliate who is linked to those players. Commissions for TOKENS PLAYED

3 Check Matching Commission Affiliates are financially rewarded for sharing the App and inviting people to play the games. For those who choose to do so, we also want to reward Affiliates for encouraging these same behaviors in other Affiliates. You will be rewarded with a bonus which matches a percentage of the commission that your active, personally referred Affiliates earn for both their Tokens Acquired Commissions and their Tokens Played Commissions. The check matching commission is calculated a bit different from the other commissions. It is based on your personally referred Affiliates... and the Affiliates they have personally referred... and so on. This can be referred to as your Affiliate genealogy. Personally Referred Geneology

This commission is not based on placement in the tiered organization like the other commissions, it is calculated on personally referred geneology. This is important to know, because some people choose to place a personally referred Affiliate somewhere other than on their 1st Tier. This means that you may have personally referred Affiliates on many different Tiers in your organization. When the Check Match Commission is calculated, the people you check match has everything to do with your genealogy. The percentage of that check match is as follows:

Affiliate Status and Recognition Affiliate status and recognition level does not affect commission earnings. It is simply a way to congratulate Affiliates for their accomplishments. United Games will use these recognition levels for various reasons including public recognition, event participation, and other promotions. Your status can be determined based on volume of tokens played, or a combination of both according to accompanying charts.

Unlocking the Commission Zones The United Games Commission Plan is structured into 4 zones. Each zone has additional layers of commission payout possible (see the charts in each section for details). The zones areunlocked according to the following monthly qualifications:
