How to get a bonus for inviting a friend

Why even a referral bonus?

The Invite a Friend bonus is a reward for bringing in a new player. The format depends on the casino: a fixed payment, freespins, cashback, freebet in betting or a percentage of a friend's deposit. By correctly issuing the invitation and complying with the conditions, you get additional value without risk to your bankroll.

How the referral program works: briefly

1. You get a unique link or promotional code.

2. A friend registers with your link (or enters your promotional code) and fulfills qualifying conditions (usually a deposit and/or bet turnover).

3. The system records the fulfillment of the conditions, after which the bonus is awarded to you (and often also to a friend).

4. You win back the bonus (if required) and withdraw the available amount within the limits.

Where to find and how to check the conditions

Look for "Promos," "Bonuses," "Loyalty," "Referrals" in your casino. In the rules, pay attention to the parameters:

Bonus format: money, freespins, freebet/freeplay, cashback, loyalty points.
Qualification of a friend: minimum deposit (for example, $10-20), sometimes - minimum turnover of bets.
Wagering: X25, X30, etc. It can be applied to the bonus amount, to winnings from freespins, less often - absent.
Deadlines: deadlines for registration by reference (for example, 7 days), for making a deposit (24-72 hours), for wagering (7-14 days).
Maximum output: for example, no more than 5 × of the bonus amount or a fixed ceiling ($50-200).
Exceptions for games: board games can be considered 10-20% to the vager, "live" casino - 0%, some slots are excluded.
Regional restrictions: individual countries/payment providers may be excluded.
KYC/AML: Basic verification of identity and payment method will be required most often.
Anti-fraud: ban on multi-accounts, single device/IP registrations, mutual transfers and split deposits.

Step-by-step instruction

1. Log in and find the referral section. Copy the unique link or promo code.

2. Check the current conditions. Record in your notes a minimum of a friend's deposit, vager, deadlines and cap for withdrawal.

3. Pass the link/code to a friend and briefly explain:

where to enter the code;
what deposit to make;
which games count;
term for fulfillment of conditions.
4. Ask a friend to complete KYC ahead of time: This will trigger accrual faster.
5. Watch the status. In the referral office you can usually see: "Registered," "Deposited," "Conditions fulfilled," "Bonus accrued."
6. Get the bonus and win back (if needed). Play on those titles that count as much as possible in the vager (usually slots without restrictions).
7. Display the available part within the cap and payment method limits.

Examples of bonus formats and benefit calculation

1) Fixed payment

Condition: the invitee made a deposit ≥ $20, made $20 turnover.

Bonus to you: $15 (no vager).

Benefit: A net $15 is the best case scenario as there are no wagering requirements.

2) Percentage of friend's deposit

Condition: 20% off a friend's first deposit, cap $50, X10 vager on bonus.

Example: a friend contributed $200 → you received a $40 bonus.

Wagering: $40 × 10 = $400 turnover on eligible games.

Note: Evaluate the reality of the X10 within the allotted time and the contribution of games to the vager.

3) Frispins

Condition: 100 FS at $0.10 for registering and depositing a friend ≥ $10, winning with FS - bonus balance, X20 vager, cap $50.

Expected cost (simplified):

EV ≈ Number of spins × Bet × Average RTP win per spin.
For example, 100 × 0.10 × 0.95 ≈ $9.50 before the vager and cap. The real amount to be withdrawn will be less due to the X20 and ceiling.

4) Tiered program

Condition: 1st invitee - $10, 3rd - + $20, 5th - + $40, etc. There is a monthly limit.

Tip: Plan a campaign - post instructions, remind deadlines so you don't lose higher rungs.

How to choose a profitable program: mini-checklist

No or low wager on your bonus.

Transparent deadlines and a sufficient window to fulfill the conditions.

High or no cap on output.

Wide classification of games (slots 100%).

Double benefit: both you and a friend receive a gift.

Convenient payments for your region and currency.

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

Registering a friend without a link/code.

Life hack: Send a short instruction with a field screen for a promo code.

Deposit below minimum. Watch your account currency: 10 € ≠ 10 $.

Deadline delay. Immediately write to a friend: "Register today, make a deposit before... (date/time). "

Playing "unsuitable" games. Check the contribution of games to the wager; live games are often not counted.

Failed KYC. Without proof of identity, the accrual may freeze.

Multi-account/general IP. This is almost a guaranteed ban and cancellation of bonuses.

Ethical invitation methods that actually work

Personal circle: friends, colleagues, community - give a turn-based cheat sheet and warn about the risks of the game.

Chat/channel: a short post "how to pick up a bonus," a FAQ on vager and timing.

Hyde Post: 1 page with: link/code → where to enter → what deposit → what to play → terms → support.

Deadline reminder: 24 hours and 3 hours before the end of the promotion.

Responsible filing: always add disclaimer about risks and limits.

Legal and compliance issues (important)

Age and jurisdiction: Only invite adults and only from permitted regions.

KYC/AML: the casino has the right to ask you and a friend for documents.

Taxes: In some countries, payments may be taxed - check your local rules.

Privacy: do not publish other people's data, do not ask a friend for access to his account.

Prohibited practices: fake registrations, mass accounts from one device/IP, "carousels" of deposits - all this leads to locks.

Quick plan for one evening (cheat sheet)

1. Check the terms of the referral bonus and deadlines.

2. Copy the link/code and make a short instruction (4-6 points).

3. Send to a friend and ask to go through KYC right away.

4. Make sure that the deposit is made in the required currency and amount.

5. Check the standings of games and offer your friend the "correct" slots.

6. Monitor status before accrual; after - play (if necessary) and output within the cap.

Mini-FAQ

Can I get a bonus if a friend is already registered?

Not usually. Referral counts only for new accounts.

If a friend signed up but forgot to enter my promo code?

Sometimes support can tie the referral retroactively, but more often not. Write to the support immediately, attach evidence (screen/registration time).

What if the bonus is not accrued?

Check checklist: link/code, minimum deposit, KYC, eligible games, deadlines. If everything is done - contact support, provide a friend ID and deposit time.

Can I invite a few friends?

Yes, if the conditions are not limited. See limits on the number of referrals per month and total cap.

How to win back the bonus faster?

Choose games that give 100% contribution to the vager, play small bets, avoid excluded games and strictly monitor the deadline.

The referral bonus is one of the cleanest ways to increase the value of the game: you help your friend start, and you yourself get tangible benefits. Success depends on three things: the correct link/code, compliance with the conditions (deposit/games/deadlines) and accurate wagering. Act on the checklist - and the chance to pick up the bonus without unnecessary surprises is as high as possible.
