01Overview
About the Green Man Gaming affiliate program
Green Man Gaming is an authorised digital game key retailer, which distinguishes it from the grey-market key resellers that dominate search results in this category. Keys are supplied through publisher agreements rather than sourced unofficially.

Digital delivery means orders validate almost immediately rather than waiting on shipping and returns, so commission clears far faster here than on physical goods. Order values are low, but conversion rates on discounted titles are correspondingly high.
Green Man Gaming has the shortest validation delay of any program in the LinkApprove network's gaming category, because digital keys carry no shipping or return window, the trade-off is a much smaller order value than the hardware programs.

Gaming
How Green Man Gaming compares in its category
Gaming splits cleanly into two commission models: digital game keys pay a high percentage on a low order value and validate almost immediately, while hardware pays a low percentage on a high order value and validates slowly. Creators generally do better concentrating on one side than covering both, and launch and sale calendars concentrate demand far more sharply here than in retail verticals.
