Refer a friend: a reward with two sides

Referral programmes reward an existing player when a new player they invited opens an account and meets the conditions, typically a deposit of a certain size or some wagering. Whether Captain runs such a programme in your country is shown in your profile or the promotions area. This page describes what such a programme means and why gambling calls for particular caution.

How it works

You receive a personal link or code. When a friend uses it and meets the conditions, you receive a reward, often as a bonus with wagering. Sometimes the friend gets one too. The terms set how many referrals you can make and how long your friend has to qualify. Look for the words "active" and "qualified" in the terms — that is where the moment the reward becomes yours is defined.

Conditions to check

Whether the reward is cash or a bonus with wagering.
What the friend must do to trigger it.
Any cap on the number of referrals.
Whether referrals within one household are banned.

Valuing the reward

If the reward is paid as a bonus, the usual calculation applies: base, wagering multiple, game contribution. A reward of 20 with 30× wagering needs 600 in stakes on games that count in full. A cash reward without conditions is worth its face value.

Caution

Gambling is not a product to recommend without thought. If you know someone struggles to control their play or gambles with money they need, do not send them the link. No reward is worth that risk. Signs of trouble are listed on the responsible gambling page.

Multiple accounts

Opening accounts in other people's names, or "referring" yourself, is forbidden in the terms and leads to account closure and loss of funds. Every account must belong to the person whose details it carries.

Frequently asked questions

When do I receive the reward?

When your friend meets the programme conditions set out in the rules.

Does my friend get the same reward?

Not necessarily; the two sides can have different terms.

Can I share the link publicly?

Terms often restrict this. Check the programme rules.

The size, terms and availability of bonuses depend on the operator, country and account, and they change. The version in the operator's own terms is always the one that applies.
