Refer a friend: what happens after the invite

A refer-a-friend programme pays a reward if an invited friend registers and completes certain actions — usually a deposit and some stakes. Sometimes both sides receive a reward.

The actual figures — percentages, wagering, deadlines and maximum stake — are set by the operator and shown in the offer terms.

Typical conditions

Why responsibility matters

Inviting a friend to gamble means inviting them to entertainment with risk. If the friend struggles with control, no reward justifies it. Recommend only to people who understand the maths and play within a budget.

Share knowledge, not just a link

If someone asks you about games, an explanation of how volatility and RTP work is more useful than a link. Send them our game catalogue or our guide to slots.

Breaches

One household, one device or accounts created for yourself are almost always prohibited. A breach can mean the reward is cancelled and accounts are closed.

Why the reward is not instant

The operator usually waits until the friend meets the conditions — that filters out fake sign-ups. So the reward may appear days or weeks later. Your account usually shows the status; if the reward is overdue by the programme's own rules, keep the link and dates and contact support.

Privacy

A referral link may contain your identifier. Posting it publicly reveals that you are a customer. Do not post such links where minors can see them.

If your friend changes their mind

If the friend decides to stop playing or self-excludes, respect that and do not remind them about the programme. A reward for their activity is not worth putting pressure on anyone.
