Refer a friend: how referral offers work
A referral programme rewards an existing customer when someone they invite opens an account and meets certain conditions. Both sides may receive something. This guide explains the usual structure and the rules that trip people up, so you can decide whether it is worth mentioning to anyone at all.
How it usually works
You get a personal link or code from your account area. Your friend registers through it, deposits and sometimes places qualifying bets. Once the conditions are met, the reward is credited — often as a bonus or free bet with its own terms.
Conditions on the friend's side
The friend usually has to be new to the operator, of legal age, located where the service is allowed and verified. There may be a minimum deposit or a set amount of bets at minimum odds. If any step is skipped, the reward is not paid.
Rules that matter
Referral programmes forbid duplicate accounts, referring yourself and sharing the same device or payment method between accounts. Breaking these rules can lead to closed accounts. Only refer people who would open an account anyway and understand what they are signing up for.
A responsible approach
Gambling is not for everyone. Do not push friends to sign up for a reward, and never refer someone who has had problems with gambling. If someone you know needs support, Gambling Therapy and Gamblers Anonymous offer free help.
Typical timeline
Referral rewards rarely arrive on the same day. The friend signs up, verifies the account, makes the qualifying deposit and sometimes places bets that must be settled. Only then does the system mark the referral as complete, which can take days. If a reward does not appear after the stated period, contact support with the date of the friend's registration rather than opening a second invitation. Keep in mind that the operator can change or end the programme at any time; the terms in force on the day of registration usually apply.
The short version
Use your own link, make sure the friend meets every condition, and remember that the reward is a promotion with terms of its own. The current amount, percentage and conditions of any promotion are set by the operator and shown in the promotion terms — check them there before opting in.
