How referral codes work

Referral fraud is a real category of platform enforcement. The fraud has three common forms. The first form is multi-accounting — the same player creates multiple accounts to claim the referral bonus multiple times. The platform detects multi-accounting by IP address, device fingerprint, and payment method. The fraud is cancelled, the bonus is voided, and the accounts are closed.

The second form is bonus hunting — the player creates an account with a referral code, claims the bonus, clears the bonus, withdraws the winnings, and closes the account. The platform loses the bonus. The platform recovers the bonus through the wagering requirement — the player must play through the bonus a specified number of times before withdrawing.

The third form is referral link fraud — the player sells referral links on third-party sites. The platform cancels the bonus for both parties. The platform also bans the player from future referral programs.

The desk's recommendation is to share referral codes only with people you know. The desk does not recommend selling or buying referral codes. The desk does not recommend multi-accounting. The desk does not recommend bonus hunting.

If the platform detects fraud on your account, the desk recommends cooperating with the platform's investigation. The platform may require additional documentation. The platform may close the account. The desk recommends not creating a new account to bypass the closure.

The referral code is generated by the platform. The platform generates a unique code for each player. The code is 6–8 characters. The code is alphanumeric. The code is case-insensitive. The code is valid for 30–90 days.

The referral code is shared by the player. The player can share the code via WhatsApp, SMS, email, or a unique share link. The share link includes the player's code. The share link is a deep link that opens the platform's app or website.

The referral code is entered by the referee. The referee enters the code during sign-up. The referee can enter the code up to 7 days after sign-up. The referee cannot enter the code after the 7-day window. The window is documented in the platform's referral terms.

The referral bonus is credited to both parties. The referrer receives a bonus when the referee completes KYC. The referee receives a bonus when the referee completes KYC. The bonus is credited to the wallet. The wallet is subject to the wagering requirement.

The desk's recommendation is to share the code with people you know. The desk does not recommend sharing the code on social media. The desk does not recommend buying or selling referral codes. The desk does not recommend multi-accounting. The desk's policy is documented in the referral fraud section.

The desk's coverage is built on three principles. The first principle is editorial — does the piece serve a reader who is making a real decision. The second principle is compliance — does the piece satisfy the relevant Indian laws on responsible editorial coverage. The third principle is craft — does the piece read like a professional magazine article.

The desk's editorial team reviews every piece before publication. The review includes a fact-check pass, a source-verification pass, and a craft pass. The review is documented in the editorial principles section. The desk publishes the corrections on the affected page when a piece is updated.

The desk's recommended reading list is in the editorial index section. The list is curated by the desk. The list is updated quarterly. The list is the desk's view on the most useful pieces for the reader who is new to rummy or who wants to deepen the reader's understanding.
