Earn every month
When they subscribe, you earn 51% of every payment they make — recurring, for the life of the subscription.
| Plan referred | They pay | Your cut (51%), monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Live Tennis API — Basic | $8.99/mo | $4.59/mo |
| Live Tennis API — Pro | $26.99/mo | $13.77/mo |
| Live Tennis API — Ultra | $89.99/mo | $45.90/mo |
| Break-point Alerts — Pro | $9.99/mo | $5.09/mo |
| Historical Data API — Starter | $29/mo | $14.79/mo |
| Historical Data API — Pro | $99/mo | $50.49/mo |
| Historical Data API — Business | $299/mo | $152.49/mo |
Recurring — you keep earning it every month the customer stays. Live Tennis API prices are shown after the 10% discount your link applies; Break-point Alerts and the Historical Data API are sold at list, so your 51% is of the full amount. Which plan your audience buys moves your income further than the rate does — one Business referral pays what about 33 Basic referrals pay.
Set how many referrals you expect on each plan, across all three products. Your commission is 51% of what each referred customer actually pays: Live Tennis API prices below already include the 10% discount your link applies, and Break-point Alerts and the Historical Data API are sold at list. The mix is the lever worth playing with — the top plans pay multiples of the entry one.
Monthly subscriptions only. The one-off Historical Data packages ($49 for a month of data, $399 for a year) pay a one-time commission at the same rate, so they are left out of a recurring total. Illustration only — actual earnings depend on what your referrals subscribe to and for how long. Full rules: affiliate terms.
Books pay you once. We pay 51% of the subscription, every month, for life.
| Program | Published rate | Model |
|---|---|---|
| Live Tennis API affiliate program | 51% of every payment | Lifetime revenue share — every renewal, for as long as the customer stays |
| Sports Game Odds partner program | “Up to 20%” | Revenue share, per their partner page |
| Typical sportsbook affiliate deals | $50–$250 CPA | One-time bounty per referred player |
Sources: sportsgameodds.com/partner (“up to 20%”); typical sportsbook CPA ranges as reported by AffPapa. Checked July 2026 — their terms are theirs and may change.
Compare it with other tennis affiliate programs, sports data API affiliate programs, or the sports betting tools affiliate offers sportsbooks run: a CPA deal pays you once per player, while a lifetime revenue share keeps paying every month the customer stays — and developers who build on an API tend to stay.
A perfect fit if you reach developers or tennis fans
Affiliate questions
What tracking tools do affiliates get?
Named tracking links with sub-IDs and per-link stats (clicks, signups, earnings per click), server-to-server postbacks to your own tracker, instant conversion alerts by email or Discord, QR codes, and embeddable live-score widgets (a board and a ticker) with your referral built into every click-out.
How much do I earn?
51% of every payment your referrals make — recurring, for the life of each subscription, not just the first month. One-off purchases (like historical data packages) pay a one-time commission at the same rate.
How does attribution work?
Your dashboard gives you a referral link. A visitor who clicks it gets a first-party cookie for 30 days (last click wins), and when they subscribe the sale is recorded against your account at checkout. Your referral code also doubles as a 10%-off promo code on the Live Tennis API — if a customer enters it at checkout, the sale is attributed to you even without the cookie. Once a subscription is yours, every renewal credits you automatically.
How long does the referral cookie last?
30 days. If someone clicks your link today and subscribes within 30 days, you get the credit — and you keep earning on that subscription for as long as it stays active.
Do I need to be approved first?
No waiting period — signup is free and your account is active immediately, with your link and dashboard ready to use. Automated fraud checks (disposable email domains, many accounts from one IP) can place an account on hold: a held account still tracks referrals, but nothing is paid out until a human review clears it. You also need to verify your email address before a payout can be sent.
Can I refer myself?
No. Self-referrals are detected and blocked automatically at checkout, and attempting them can get an account terminated. Refer other people — don’t run your own subscription through your own link.
Can I bid on your brand in ads?
No. Bidding on our brand terms (“Live Tennis API”, “livetennisapi.com” and misspellings) in paid search is prohibited, as are spam, cookie stuffing and misleading claims. The full list is in the affiliate terms.
What is the minimum payout?
$20. A balance below the minimum simply rolls over to the next month — nothing expires.
Why is there a 30-day hold?
Each commission becomes payable 30 days after the customer’s payment — 60 days for annual-plan invoices, which carry a longer refund exposure. The window matches the refund period: if a payment is refunded or disputed, the matching commission is reduced or reversed instead of being paid out and clawed back later.
How and when am I paid?
Monthly, via PayPal or Wise, to the payout email on your account — once your available balance (commissions past the hold period) reaches the $20 minimum.
What about taxes?
Commissions are paid gross — we don’t withhold tax. You are responsible for reporting and paying any tax on your affiliate income in your own jurisdiction.
Is it free to join?
Yes — free, and it takes about a minute. You get a real-time dashboard with your link, clicks, signups, conversions and earnings.
What can I promote?
The Live Tennis API and its sibling products — Break-point Alerts and the Historical Tennis Data API — from honest, useful content: tutorials, reviews, videos, newsletters, community posts, tools. You earn on all of them at the same rate.
Everything above is also written down plainly in the affiliate program terms — commission, attribution, payouts, and what promotion methods are off-limits.
