SCHEDULE 2
Consideration & Compensation
Consideration and Compensation. In exchange for the full, prompt, and satisfactory performance of all Program services to be rendered to CoinRaces (as determined by CoinRaces), the Affiliate shall be compensated as follows for customers introduced to CoinRaces and subsequently accredited to the Affiliate:
Up to 50% of the gross software development fee revenue payable to CoinRaces by the prediction gaming protocols for each completed CoinRaces live game (“Game Fee”) in which a customer introduced by the Affiliate participates: for the avoidance of doubt, participation means the customer introduced by the Affiliate must stake the minimum value entry fee into any single game to qualify, i.e., one (0.05) TON token or any other Token that is designated by the prediction game protocols as the entry fee for any of the prediction games as accessed through the CoinRaces Interface;
The standard ‘Game Fee’ is calculated as five (5%) of the total staked assets in each completed live prediction game (subject to variation and/or as published by the prediction game protocols). For example, if the total staked assets in a single game is equal to 127 TON, and the affiliate has introduced customers that have collectively staked 62 TON in the same completed live prediction game, the Affiliate will be entitled to a commission of 1.24 TON (62 x 5% = 3.1 x 40% = 1.24);
Commissions will accrue and will be paid in the asset or assets in which respective referred users have staked or pledged for entry into a completed predictive game. Affiliate partners will receive their level of percentage revenue share based on the number of players they bring and how long they retain them, with an active status review of players occurring every three months. If a player is no longer active, they will be removed from partner participants.
The Affiliate agrees that the consideration and compensation set out above is the Affiliate’s entire compensation for all Program services considered under this Agreement, and the Affiliate will not be entitled to reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses unless agreed upon in writing;
Partners are allowed to collect or withdraw payments at any time they reach a balance of 50 TON. CoinRaces reserves the right to freeze withdrawals if it detects suspicious activities and retain the Affiliate fund balances for investigation for a period up to one (1) month (“Investigation Period”).
The Affiliate shall register an account with the CoinRaces Operators and may be required to complete additional onboarding checks prior to performing the Program services contained herein and prior to receipt of remuneration as per this Schedule 2. of this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 2
Consideration & Compensation
Consideration and Compensation. In exchange for the full, prompt, and satisfactory performance of all Program services to be rendered to CoinRaces (as determined by CoinRaces), the Affiliate shall be compensated as follows for customers introduced to CoinRaces and subsequently accredited to the Affiliate:
Up to 50% of the gross software development fee revenue payable to CoinRaces by the prediction gaming protocols for each completed CoinRaces live game (“Game Fee”) in which a customer introduced by the Affiliate participates: for the avoidance of doubt, participation means the customer introduced by the Affiliate must stake the minimum value entry fee into any single game to qualify, i.e., one (0.05) TON token or any other Token that is designated by the prediction game protocols as the entry fee for any of the prediction games as accessed through the CoinRaces Interface;
The standard ‘Game Fee’ is calculated as five (5%) of the total staked assets in each completed live prediction game (subject to variation and/or as published by the prediction game protocols). For example, if the total staked assets in a single game is equal to 127 TON, and the affiliate has introduced customers that have collectively staked 62 TON in the same completed live prediction game, the Affiliate will be entitled to a commission of 1.24 TON (62 x 5% = 3.1 x 40% = 1.24);
Commissions will accrue and will be paid in the asset or assets in which respective referred users have staked or pledged for entry into a completed predictive game. Affiliate partners will receive their level of percentage revenue share based on the number of players they bring and how long they retain them, with an active status review of players occurring every three months. If a player is no longer active, they will be removed from partner participants.
The Affiliate agrees that the consideration and compensation set out above is the Affiliate’s entire compensation for all Program services considered under this Agreement, and the Affiliate will not be entitled to reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses unless agreed upon in writing;
Partners are allowed to collect or withdraw payments at any time they reach a balance of 50 TON. CoinRaces reserves the right to freeze withdrawals if it detects suspicious activities and retain the Affiliate fund balances for investigation for a period up to one (1) month (“Investigation Period”).
The Affiliate shall register an account with the CoinRaces Operators and may be required to complete additional onboarding checks prior to performing the Program services contained herein and prior to receipt of remuneration as per this Schedule 2. of this Agreement.
