Negative carryover means an agreement carries a negative revenue balance into a later calculation period. Future positive results may have to offset it before commission is earned. The contract also determines brand pooling, resets and exceptions. A no-carryover headline must be read together with those details.
Compare three complete periods
This illustration assumes the same revenue results, a 30% share, no other deductions and a negative opening balance of zero. It compares two simplified fictional contracts. It is not a representation of a named programme's full agreement.
| Period | Carryover applies | Negative periods reset |
|---|---|---|
| 1: +$1,000 | $300 commission; balance $0 | $300 commission |
| 2: −$800 | $0 commission; −$800 carried | $0 commission; negative reset |
| 3: +$1,000 | $200 eligible after offset; $60 commission | $1,000 eligible; $300 commission |
| Total commission | $360 | $600 |
Read the exceptions
LeoVegas's cited version separates ordinary negative-period treatment from fraud, written carryover arrangements and its Big Winner policy. It also has brand calculation and set-off provisions. That is a reason to read the complete agreement rather than interpreting a label as an unconditional promise.
Ask these questions before comparing percentages
Establish the calculation period and whether brands or markets are pooled. Ask when a negative balance resets, whether a large customer result has separate treatment and what happens after inactivity or termination. Keep any individual changes in writing.
Use a period ledger
Record opening balance, current eligible revenue, adjustments, closing balance and earned commission. Reconcile those lines to the source statement. If a programme says there is no negative carryover, ask which exceptions and recovery rights still apply. A higher headline share cannot answer those questions.
