How Affiliate link differs from related terms

Affiliate link is often researched beside Bonus cancellation and Broker review and Cashback. The labels can appear in the same workflow, but they do not describe the same field or condition.

01
Bonus cancellation

The process and consequences of declining or removing a bonus before its conditions are completed.

02
Broker review

A structured assessment of payout, assets, market pricing, expiry, deposits, withdrawals, support, bonuses, platform quality, and legal context.

03
Cashback

A promotion that returns part of eligible losses, fees, or activity under stated conditions.

Practical use

Convert the promotion headline into account conditions

Affiliate link means an outbound broker link that can pay the publisher a commission when a qualifying user action occurs. A promotion can change cash balance, bonus balance, qualifying volume, expiry, eligible products, cancellation, and withdrawal rights. Its percentage is not meaningful without those conditions.

A neutral example

Save the dated offer and acceptance screen, then calculate required turnover from the applicable base amount and multiplier. Record which trades qualify and what happens after cancellation, expiry, loss, or withdrawal.

01
Eligibility

Account, country, language, payment method, code, start date, and end date.

02
Balance mechanics

Cash, bonus, profit, loss allocation, turnover, exclusions, and progress ledger.

03
Exit

Withdrawal restriction, cancellation, forfeiture, abuse rule, and complaint route.

In a broker review

How to use Affiliate link in a comparison

In a broker review, do not read Affiliate link in isolation. Match the broker's own definition to the relevant contract, account, pricing, payment, or platform screen and record the condition that changes its meaning.

Comparison context

Why it matters when comparing brokers

How to use this term

Promotion value depends on the full conditions, not the headline amount. Compare eligibility, activation, turnover, expiry, excluded activity, balance treatment, cancellation, and withdrawal consequences.

What it does not prove

Promotional credit is not the same as withdrawable cash. A larger bonus can be less useful when turnover or locked-fund conditions are restrictive.

Broker checklist

What to verify

Check these points on the broker's product screen, account flow, terms, or help pages.

02

Read the required volume, qualifying products, payout threshold, and completion deadline.

03
Withdrawal impact

Understand cancellation, expiry, forfeiture, abuse, and account-closing consequences.
