- MOBILE APPS
Any Affiliate wishing to release mobile apps into the Apple, Google Play, or other App stores must ensure that the App name does not include any Brand names or trademarks, or misspellings of Brand names. Any Affiliate found to have done so will be asked to remove the App immediately and may have its Affiliate account suspended and/or terminated.
- SMS
The Company has decided not to engage in any SMS activity through a third party for the foreseeable future. Any Affiliate found to be running SMS activity will have its Affiliate account terminated immediately.
- LIVE STREAMING
The Company holds a Watch & Bet live streaming license. Affiliates are not permitted to advertise the service as a pure streaming service without a connected message relating to betting. For example, ‘Watch and Bet with Yonibet” (funded account required)’
Furthermore, Affiliates are not allowed to mention the word ‘Free’ in any of their advertisements relating to live-streaming.
Finally, Affiliates are not allowed to suggest Yonibet’s live streaming service is a substitute to coverage available on ‘TV’, a ‘Digital Game Pass’, or anything relating to live-streaming alternatives. eg “Don’t have BT subscription? Watch the Live stream on Yonibet TV instead” – would be unacceptable.
In summary, Affiliates:
- Must ALWAYS include the word bet (local language accepted) in every sentence when referring to watching or live-streaming; and
- Must NEVER include the words free, or anything relating to live-streaming alternatives
(Game Pass, broadcaster, and the like).
Any Affiliate found to be in violation of the above may have its Affiliate account suspended and/or terminated.
