FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE vCNT INT;
DECLARE USERID varchar(50);
DECLARE AFFILIATEID varchar(50);
DECLARE i INTEGER;
DECLARE curs1 CURSOR FOR SELECT USER_ID,affiliate_id

SELECT CUSTOMERLEVEL(:NEW.affiliate_id) INTO vCNT;
IF (vCNT>=3)
set i=1;
OPEN curs1;
read_loop: LOOP
FETCH curs1 INTO USERID,AFFILIATEID;
SELECT CUSTOMERLEVEL(:NEW.affiliate_id) INTO vCNT;
IF (vCNT>=3)
set i=i+1;
ELSE
set new.affiliate_id= AFFILIATEID;
END IF;
END LOOP read_loop;
CLOSE curs1;
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use
near ':NEW.affiliate_id; SELECT CUSTOMERLEVEL(:NEW.affiliate_id) INTO
vCNT;
IF (vC' at line 10

DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER limit_refferals BEFORE INSERT
ON wpmr_aff_referrals
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE vCNT INT;
DECLARE USERID varchar(50);
DECLARE AFFILIATEID varchar(50);
DECLARE i INTEGER;
DECLARE curs1 CURSOR FOR
SELECT USER_ID,affiliate_id
FROM `wpmr_aff_referrals` WHERE affiliate_id=NEW.affiliate_id;
SELECT CUSTOMERLEVEL(NEW.affiliate_id) INTO vCNT;
IF (vCNT >=3) THEN /*<------------Made changes at this line*/
set i=1;
OPEN curs1;
read_loop : LOOP
FETCH curs1 INTO USERID,AFFILIATEID;
SELECT CUSTOMERLEVEL(NEW.affiliate_id) INTO vCNT;
IF (vCNT>=3) THEN /*<------------Made changes at this line*/
set i=i+1;
ELSE
set new.affiliate_id= AFFILIATEID;
END IF;
END LOOP read_loop;
CLOSE curs1;
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Try above code.
One more thing you can't use NEW row for BEFORE UPDATE TRIGGER.So i had made changes to AFTER UPDATE TRIGGER.
We don't need : for NEW and OLD value,you can directly check that value using NEW.VAL and OLD.VAL.
Also whenever you use IF IN TRIGGER,PROCEDURE and FUNCTION put THEN and then write you logic
Hope this will help you.

Answer 2

Remove the ":" to pass the parameter NEW.affiliate_id to the CUSTOMERLEVEL function like this:
SELECT CUSTOMERLEVEL(NEW.affiliate_id) INTO vCNT
