As a master agent, managing sub-agents is essential for expanding your sports betting operation. By assigning sub-agents to specific players and giving them tailored commission structures, you can increase your reach and streamline your bookmaking business. This guide will help you set up and manage sub-agents, with a focus on establishing commission structures—split, profit, and redline—and making sure everything runs smoothly.

There are three primary commission structures you can use to manage sub-agents: Split, Profit, and Redline. Each has distinct advantages and is suitable for different scenarios depending on your business goals and risk tolerance. Let’s take a closer look at each type:

1. Split Commission

The Split commission model divides wins and losses between the master agent and the sub-agent based on a predetermined percentage. For example, if you set a 20% commission for a sub-agent:

• If the players lose $100, the sub-agent receives $20.
• If the players win $100, the sub-agent must cover up to $20.

This model aligns the sub-agent’s profit and loss directly with the players’ outcomes, incentivizing careful player management.

2. Profit Commission

With the Profit commission structure, sub-agents only earn a commission on player losses. For instance:

• If the agreed percentage is 20% and players lose $100, the sub-agent earns $20.
• If the players win, the sub-agent does not incur any losses.

This commission type is favorable for sub-agents who prefer risk-free earnings based solely on player losses.

3. Redline Commission

In the Redline structure, a “red figure” (or negative balance) is applied when players win. The sub-agent only receives commission once this balance is cleared by player losses. Here’s how it works:

• If the percentage is 20%, and players lose $100, the sub-agent gets $20.
• The next week, if players win $100, the sub-agent’s red figure becomes -$20, with no commission.
• If players lose $50 the following week, the red figure reduces to -$10, and the sub-agent receives no commission until the balance clears.

The Redline method adds an additional layer of risk management, ensuring sub-agents earn only when the player’s losses exceed their wins.

Creating sub-agents in your system involves two main methods:

1. Direct Creation in the Agent Tab:

• Go to the Agent tab and select Create Agent.
• Ensure the sub-agent’s name is unique, set a password, and assign them to a master agent.
• Set up their player settlement preferences, then add or transfer players from another sub-agent.

2. Agent Support Assistance:

• Alternatively, you can request agent support to create sub-agents.
• Provide the sub-agent’s name, password, desired permissions, and any player assignments.
• Specify the rights you want for the sub-agent, as full access grants considerable control.

Once a sub-agent account is created, ensure that player assignments and commission types are set up correctly.

After setting up your sub-agents, the next step is to assign the appropriate commission structure (split, profit, or redline) based on your operational needs. When setting up these structures, consider:

• Player Risk Profile: If a sub-agent primarily handles high-stakes players, consider using the Split or Redline model for shared risk.
• Revenue Goals: For consistent revenue from player losses, the Profit commission model may be more suitable.

Inform your agent support representative of your chosen commission structure, so they can implement it accurately within the system.

Managing which players are assigned to each sub-agent is crucial. When setting up sub-agents, keep in mind:

• Master Agent Restrictions: Master agents cannot have players assigned directly to them; instead, players should be allocated to sub-agents.
• Player Transfer Process: Use the Player Management section to move players to the desired sub-agent’s account. This ensures that each sub-agent manages a specific list of players, simplifying commission calculation and tracking.

This organized approach makes it easier to monitor individual sub-agent performance, adjust player assignments as necessary, and implement tailored commission settings.

Carefully consider what level of access each sub-agent should have:

• Full Access: Grants the sub-agent comprehensive control but carries higher risk.
• Limited Access: Restricts permissions to certain features, like viewing player data but not changing system settings.

If unsure about which permissions to assign, consult with agent support to determine an access level that balances operational needs with security.

Effectively managing sub-agents requires a proactive approach. Here are some additional tips to ensure smooth operations:

1. Regularly Review Commission Structures: Assess your sub-agents’ performance and adjust commission types or percentages as needed. For instance, if a sub-agent consistently manages high-risk players, consider moving from Profit to Redline to mitigate exposure.
2. Clear Communication with Agent Support: Let agent support know when you need specific adjustments, whether it’s creating new sub-agents, adjusting permissions, or customizing commission structures.
3. Monitor Player Activity: Use your platform’s player management features to keep an eye on player behavior, especially for sub-agents handling high-value accounts. This ensures that both players and sub-agents align with your business objectives.
