Gamdom Affiliate Program: How Referrals Are Tracked
Every code you see attached to Gamdom — 15BOOST included — exists because of the affiliate program sitting behind it. This page explains that machinery: what a partner account is, how a tracking link differs from a code, and what Canadian creators should check before promoting anything.
What the Gamdom affiliate program is
It is the partner scheme Gamdom uses to grow through other people's audiences. A streamer, a site owner or a community manager applies through the Affiliates section, receives a partner account, and with it a tracking link and one or more codes. Players who arrive through either signal are attributed to that partner, and the partner earns according to the agreement they signed with Gamdom.
The commercial terms — revenue share, hybrid deals, minimum thresholds, payout schedules — are negotiated case by case and are not published. Anywhere you see a specific percentage quoted on a third-party page, treat it as a guess dressed up as a fact. The honest version is that rates depend on volume, market and the deal an individual partner struck.
Partner account
The dashboard behind the program: link generation, code management, click and registration reporting, and payout history.
Attribution
The moment a player is tied to a partner. It happens on a tracked click or on code entry at registration, and it happens once per account.
Reporting
Ongoing figures on referred players and the activity generated, which is what any payout is calculated from.
Tracking link against referral code
They do the same job through different doors. Most confusion around Gamdom bonuses comes from not knowing which one is in play.
The tracking link
A URL of the form gamdom.com/r/<code>. Clicking it carries the referral with you, so the Referral Code field on the sign-up window is usually already filled when it opens.
- Works on click, before any account exists
- Can be lost if you clear cookies or switch browser before registering
- Convenient — nothing to type or mistype
The referral code
A short string typed by the player. For this offer it is 15BOOST, and it goes into the Referral Code field at sign-up or the Affiliate Code field under Rewards → Special Rewards.
- Works regardless of how you reached the site
- Survives cleared cookies, new devices and long gaps
- Needs to be entered exactly, before the welcome window closes
- Typed into Referral Code at sign-up
- Or Affiliate Code under Special Rewards
- Matches the tracking link exactly
Where 15BOOST sits in all this
From the player's side, none of the affiliate machinery is visible. You type eight characters and receive 15% rakeback for a week, the 100% deposit bonus and leaderboard entry. From the partner's side, that same entry marks the account as referred.
Both things are true at once, and neither costs the player anything. A Canadian player depositing CA$100 receives the same welcome package as one depositing CA$1,000, and the same package again whether they arrived through the link or typed the code by hand. What changes is only who gets credited for the referral.
What Canadian creators should check first
Promoting gambling in Canada is not the free-for-all it looks like from outside. Four things are worth understanding before a campaign exists.
Provincial advertising rules
Ontario's regulated market restricts what licensed operators may advertise and how, including rules on inducements and on using athletes and celebrities. Offshore promotion sits in a different position again. The rules that bind you depend on where your audience is, not only where you are.
Platform policies
YouTube, Twitch and the major ad networks each carry their own gambling-content policies, and they are enforced independently of any law. A compliant campaign can still be demonetised by a platform rule.
Disclosure
Affiliate relationships should be disclosed clearly. Canadian advertising standards treat undisclosed material connections as misleading, and audiences work it out anyway.
Audience age
19+ in most provinces, 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. If a meaningful share of your audience sits under that line, gambling promotion is the wrong fit regardless of what the program pays.
Nothing on this page is legal or financial advice, and this site is not the Gamdom affiliate program — it is an independent Canadian resource. Application, terms and payouts are handled by Gamdom directly through its Affiliates section.
Affiliate program questions
It is Gamdom's partner scheme for creators, streamers and site owners. A partner receives a tracking link and a code; players who arrive through either are attributed to that partner, and the partner is paid according to whatever agreement they signed. Rates and terms are negotiated with Gamdom directly and are not public, so treat any site quoting a specific percentage with suspicion.
A tracking link attributes the visit the moment a player clicks it. A code attributes the account when the player types it into the referral field. They usually point at the same partner account — 15BOOST and its matching link are one example — and using either one is enough. There is no benefit to using both.
No. Players use the code to claim the welcome offer; affiliates use codes to attribute the players they send. The code is public and free to use.
Gamdom accepts partners internationally and the application process is handled through its Affiliates section. What you can legally promote inside Canada depends on advertising rules in your province, which are stricter than most people expect — worth checking before you build a campaign around it.
Through the link and code attached to your partner account, with reporting available in the affiliate dashboard. Attribution rules, cookie windows and payout timing are defined in the partner agreement rather than by anything published on a third-party site.
