Account standing

The affiliate agreement you accept inside Everflow at signup governs your participation, and this page is a plain-language summary of how account standing works in practice.

Most affiliates never see a warning. The ones who do are usually running a new source they have not fully checked, or a sub-affiliate or traffic vendor is doing something they did not know about. This page explains how issues are handled so you can catch them early.

Warnings vs immediate action

There are two tracks.

Warnings are for problems that can be fixed. Your affiliate manager contacts you, explains what was seen and on which source or Sub-ID, and asks you to pause or correct it. Examples: a creative that overstates a feature, a lander missing an age gate, a new traffic source that is producing low-quality sign-ups. If you fix the issue, the account carries on as normal.

Immediate action is for problems where waiting would cause harm: to users, to payment processing or to the brand. In these cases the account, or specific offers on it, can be paused without a prior warning while the issue is reviewed. Immediate action is reserved for serious or clearly deliberate violations.

Which track applies depends on the severity of the issue, whether it looks intentional, and whether it has happened before. There is no published scoring formula.

What the program looks at

Traffic source and quality. Where clicks actually originate, not just the platform they appear to come from.
Brand and trademark usage. Representing Secrets accurately in any creative, copy or landing page you build or adapt.
Tracking hygiene. A properly tagged link and a working postback make every conversation easier, including this one.
Conversion quality signals. Refund rate, chargeback rate and downstream engagement matter more than raw conversion count.

If your traffic is flagged for review

A review flag is a standard quality check, not an accusation. While it is open you may be asked for source, placement or sub-ID detail, and any payment tied to that traffic may sit on hold until the review closes. Responding promptly with what is asked is the fastest way through it.

What puts an account at risk

Unlawful content

Promoting Secrets on or next to content that is illegal where you operate, or that breaks the content standards in the application requirements, is the most serious category. It is handled with immediate action.

Impersonation

Posing as Secrets, using look-alike domains or handles, or presenting yourself as Secrets staff. This includes bidding on "Secrets AI" brand terms in paid search. Impersonation of any other brand or real person in your promotion is treated the same way.

Incentivized or bot traffic

Paying or rewarding users to click or sign up, cookie stuffing, forced clicks, and any automated or scripted traffic or account creation. These distort conversion data and are treated as fraud when deliberate.

Excessive chargebacks

Chargebacks hurt payment processing for everyone in the program. An account whose referred users charge back at an unusual rate will be reviewed, and the source driving it will need to be paused or fixed. Specific thresholds are not published; if you are concerned about a source, ask your affiliate manager to look at it with you.

Misleading creatives

Creatives or landers that misrepresent the product: fake messages from "real" people, false claims about price or features, fake system alerts, or disguised ads. A first instance is usually a warning. Repeated or deliberate deception is not.

How to raise an issue

If you receive a warning, think a flag is wrong, or want to check a source before you run it, go to your affiliate manager first. Every affiliate has a dedicated manager reachable on Telegram, email or Discord. For general questions there is also the affiliate Telegram channel, @secretsaffiliates.

To get a quick answer, include:

Your Everflow affiliate ID.
The offer, tracking link and Sub-IDs involved.
The traffic source and placement, with links or screenshots.
What you have already changed, if anything.

Consistent tagging makes this much easier: Source ID for the traffic source, sub1 for the click ID, and sub2 to sub4 for campaign, creative and placement. If you tag sources and placements consistently, a problem can be traced to one campaign instead of your whole account. The tracking onboarding step covers how to set this up.

What happens to your earnings

Approved earnings are paid on the normal net-15 schedule, through the payout method you gave your affiliate manager, unless the earnings come from fraud or are tied to traffic under an open review. Commissions tied to refunded or charged-back purchases are reversed as described in the program rules. Commissions tied to traffic found to be fraudulent, such as bots, incentivized sign-ups or cookie stuffing, are not paid.

A warning on its own does not affect earnings from compliant traffic.

Staying in good standing

Tell your manager before launching an unusual source.
Keep creatives and landers honest and age-gated.
Watch rejected conversions per Source ID in the Conversion Report (Reporting → Conversion), and ask your manager about refund and chargeback patterns per source.
Vet any vendor or sub-affiliate sending traffic on your link. You are responsible for it.
