7.13. For those markets where there is a tax and/or VAT applicable, the tax will be deducted from player Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR). If this does not happen automatically by the system, the Company shall deduct the tax and/or VAT manually by the end of the month. The Commission may be reduced due to the abovementioned reasons.
8. PAYMENT: SPECIAL CASES
8.1. If a second Affiliate re-refers and activates a player that has not been active for a period of twelve (12) months, then this second Affiliate shall be entitled to the credit for the reactivation and the player will be assigned to the second Affiliate’s player pool.

9. BIG WINNER POLICY
9.1. During any calendar month, if one specific player accumulates wins of at least 10,000 Euro, this player will be considered a large winner (“Big Winner”) and will be governed under this Section 9.
9.2. The Big Winner will be isolated from the Affiliate pool of players and the negative revenue from this specific player will not affect the overall commissions from the other players during that given calendar month. The negative revenue created by the Big Winner will separately be carried forward and counted against the future revenue generated by the Big Winner for a limited period of up to twelve (12) months.
9.3. The Big Winner will remain separated, and the negative balance will be adjusted by potential future positive revenue generated by the same Big Winner until the full amount of the negative balance has been satisfied and/or fulfilled during the limited period of twelve (12) months. In such a case the Big Winner will then be returned to the Affiliate pool of players to continue to generate future commission for the Affiliate.
9.4. No negative carryover generated by the Big Winner will be taken into account after the twelve (12) month period in the calculation of the Commission due to the Affiliate.
9.5. The Affiliate will be notified of any Big Winner at latest ten (10) working days in the following month. The information about the negative balance generated by the Big Winner(s) will be traceable by the Affiliate in the Affiliate platform or via monthly reports from the Company.
