The below guidelines are meant to serve as quick access to the main obligations of the Affiliate under its agreement with Casumo. These Guidelines are an addition to the agreement between Casumo and the Affiliate. The Terms and Conditions for the Affiliate Programme (i.e. the Agreement) shall supersede any provision hereunder at all times.

This guide covers the advertising rules for all types of advertising such as (but not limited to) Banners, Mailers, Reviews, Native ads and SMS sendouts.
