You'll need to have hundreds of referrals to make it worthwhile. I have more than a hundred refs on my freebitco.in account and only 1 of them is still active [...] Making money this way is not very time efficient.

This precisely proves my point. I would say though that it's not efficient at all. Multi-level marketing schemes are only loss of time and, in many cases, loss of money as well. That is for 90+% of total amount of participants. To reach the top of the ladder is very difficult, if not impossible. And, while those from the top of the ladder live nicely on the efforts made by the ones below them, the other ones are sweating and working hard for finding other referrals or for completing various tasks assigned to their level.

What I said above is speaking at large about pyramidal schemes. In some cases, these schemes are Ponzi schemes, such as One Coin or Bit Connect and, in these cases, situation becomes even worst for participants.

My advice? Stay away from any MLM or referral scheme. You'd only save your time, neurons and money.

It's really waste if you're doing referral, I experienced it because I try some gambling site and they have referral(bonus coin) and it's not worth it. For example, you need to invite like 50 people to get $15 worth of coin. See? Everything now is not free so work hard for yourself and don't waste your life doing referral or some things just to get freebie with no value.

It is free as long as you dont have to spend a single cent, if you need to invite some people to get the bonus but you say it is not free then how referral bonus should work? I'm not sure which casino that give you bonus coin for referring people, can you mention the casino here? I have never heard any casino give us bonus just by inviting people only and the bonus has no value at all. Even if it is true, means that it is your own mistake to invite people for nothing. In short, you decided to participate in the worst referral program while there are some other better program that gives you good chance to earn decent amount of money if you can refer active players/whales.

i gained too many referrals but no active referral, through advertising on PTC sites, and i also won bonuses for referring them but the bonus was very hard to claim like too many terms and conditions are their , like you need to wager this much x to claim this bonus, and the referral should be active, etc.
i not earned real money just money their written that this is your bonus and a non clickable claim button at the bottom of the bonus,
and some site give bonus like my referral will deposit then you will get, some percentage of their deposit amount and some bonuses are like getting percentage of their website earning through referrals ,
if you have a good gambling related niche blog or youtube channel then you can convince users to make an account on that site, and in that way you have high chances to earn though referrals.

and for me the process was very hard to claim the bonus but finally i don't claimed any of the bonus, because, for active referral we need to be a good influencer in a way.

Any person that want to go for referrals bonus would have to have a community or group where he can drop his link for any other interested gamblers to check the link and join the casino. This is not easily done without having a community that you support you and likes you contents to the core.

You are very lucky to have referrals that are still active until now, but you can collect more referrals until now because the feebitcoin gambling platform is still active and you only need to improve your ability to attract new enthusiasts, I also had several referrals at that time but unfortunately I lost access to that wallet because my pc broke and lost some important data.

having hundreds of referrals is a very large number, imagine if all of them were active, of course you would get regular income at the casino with just referrals without bothering, but unfortunately there are only a few of your referrals that are active.
I'm not surprised that the old people here have had so many referrals in the past because there weren't many casinos here and there were lots of gamblers here so it was very easy to spread referrals to get people to register with our referrals.
but now the development of online gambling has increased and there are so many casinos that are here and outside the forum that it is a little difficult to refer someone to register using our referral link.

You are correct, @Crypt0gore. Of course, no business wants to run a loss in their company, so a referral bonus cannot be granted when people referred to casinos are not using the platform or have not made any deposits. If it was allowed to go in a way that referrals just need to create an account and their referee will just get credited the bonus, then it will give rise to cheating because most people will abuse the opportunity by using different emails to create the account just to earn the bonus. The way it is now, one really has to do a lot of convincing to make sure their referrals register, deposit, and bet for them to earn the bonus.

business is to earn so yes they will never give any single amount not unless there is already a money flowing in their side and that means business for the team.
referral is for them to earn and for those who advertise the referral is something part as peanut to be given.
in that sense this is a win win situation for the team and for us? it is just a pocket money.

We are talking about referral bonuses not the age allowed by the casino to play. It is indeed f*ck*d up when a 5 year old kid is allowed to play in a casino platform. And yes these casino influencers is the one to blame why many minors are enticed to gambling activity. I think social media platfrom and streaming platform should have way in determining the age of their viewers. (damn, why I am thinking KYC on a gambling streaming platform LOL)

The problem was on the kid's parent. The parent has been facilitating him to watch or even play casino. If the parent will able to give a good parenting to the his kind and 5years old should not be allowed to have gadget. This to make sure if the kid will able to avoid that kind of problem. You can still watch gamblers at youtube which can be accessed by so many under age person who have got bad parenting from their parents.

Referral will not even worthy if we have only a few referrals. The casino platform sometimes was just making the requirements even harder to be claimed. Influencer will prefer to be affiliator. For people who had no big name and referral is the only way to get additional money.

If you do have some sort of TG group or Twitter that does have lots of followers or have that Youtube channel which does have lots of subs then you would definitely be able to make money more if you do know on how to utilize up these numbers.It is really just how smart you would be but of course attaining this state specially getting followers arent something a feat that anyone could pull off. Spamming out your links over the internet might do but it wont really be an assured thing that you could be able to achieve that one.This is why its up to yours whether you would be pursuing on finding referrals or you would
really be taking the another path.

Not many can have such good following. But I have seen some users here in the forum that do really earn something from referrals.
Also, not all of your followers are into gambling. But if you do have, why not try to promote the gambling site that you are fairly active with.
No harm done, whether you got them or not as affiliate. This is just a bonus for playing on the site, so don't expect too much out of it.
This is like one of the perks you can get from playing on their site and inviting some of your colleagues.

If you arent that minding about bonuses in getting from those referrals or affiliate then it wont really be that creating that kind of eagerness on getting one.You could simply just put up your link and suggest if ever
there's someone who is really that interested on playing gambling.If ever you do get one then its good but if there's no one then its just fine.As long you arent expecting something then you wouldnt really be having that kind of disappointment inside since you arent expecting it. Its just a bonus if you do really get someone under your link, additional or bonus coins arent that bad either
since you could make use of them but it depends on how much they do wager.

Referral bonus tasks are not for everyone, most of these bonuses are calculated based on how much those you referred have deposited on the online casino or how many times they have played some games on the casino, gone are the days where all you have to do is refer people and as they sign up on the platform your referral bonus will be credited to you, for someone who has fewer friends that are into online gambling this is a waste of time like OP said, you are better off with other dividend opportunities available on online casinos.

Only people familiar with the referral link can get new people to join under it. They know how to find these new people and where to spread the referral link. But for people who want to learn how to spread referral links, you can also try it so they can find out that spreading referral links is not easy. And if they feel that it is difficult, they don't need to try it and it's better to play gambling as usual.

Well, everyone has still its freedom in gambling. You can make some referral bonuses and make an advantage on them later, but you can also just focus on your games and never mind people that are asking you for some links. With that, you are preventing yourself not to be blame in the future. It’s good to give referrals especially if that person will wager high because you’ll also benefit from it but be considerate also as to whom you are giving your referrals because they might not know how to manage their emotions the moment they start losing from gambling, same like be careful as to what kind of casino you are referring them to as it might be a non reputable one and they might only get scam when they start to deposit their money.

I just watched some expose on my country local casino. It's not a crypto casino though it heavily rely on referral as it's own marketing! My country is too much f-uped to have a casino that enables content creators in my country to accept their offer in doing a video, post and issues that promotes them. I don't know if it's true that they are only just being paid $100 per promotion with their referral link on it.

As I understand this, the streamer is paid $100 with or without referral just by promoting the casino, isn't that generous already? Obviously he will get more if someone joined under his referral.

Quote from: abel1337 on March 27, 2023, 07:04:34 PM

I know it's too low but my country men just keep biting that offer and today it's so f-uped given that there are content creators that are focus on teens that has been encouraged to do gambling because of the promotions and referrals. There are no KYC that's why even a 5 years old can play on that casino as long as he have money to deposit. It's a rare breed to see a influencer that haven't promoted a single casino in my country anymore. I guess content creators makes heavy money from referrals and by doing promotions since I saw most of them promoting it almost everyday!

We are talking about referral bonuses not the age allowed by the casino to play. It is indeed f*ck*d up when a 5 year old kid is allowed to play in a casino platform. And yes these casino influencers is the one to blame why many minors are enticed to gambling activity.

I wish to know if anyone has successfully claimed referral bonuses and how easy was the process and what Casino did you claim those bonuses

I also share this opinion, although from a different reason. First of all, the impossibility to claim it is a clear sign of a scam. Second of all, in most cases, such bonuses are merely nothing. It's like trying to earn BTC from faucets. I mean, of course, technically it's possible, but the reward is so small that it doesn't mean anything. Third of all, earning from referral network is a very time consuming activity. I, for one, would never waste my time for building a referral network. Finally, fourth of all, referral links are forbidden on the forum, therefore they can't be used anyway.

The rules about referral programs are almost the same but they mainly differ in the amount of bonus that the company is paying. This is why if you check the thread above, you will see that the OP of that thread is only looking for the high paying ones. If we think the bonus amount is too low then there is no need to try them.

All the rules of the referral program are not different but they provide different bonuses and there may be extra bonuses if there are influencers who can bring more new users, such as referral program competitions to get extra prizes for the top 3 rankings, but the referral program target must be at least with high bonuses so they get an equal return on their work convincing new users.

If all this is difficult, couldn't you say which is better? if staying still with a referral program where it is very difficult to find people Who want to help, I say help because I Really see it that way, people who want to have at least one referral on their own who really plays And wants to play is very tedious to find them, sometimes unless they are casino players who don't know online casinos well, those players are reliable, they are loyal to the reference, otherwise it Is very difficult, because currently people do not like to risk their money, because when they are told the casino word is synonymous for some to lose money.

It is actually for all, as long as anyone want to try it even if they do not have any experience, they still can try it without any worry.
What they need to do is not to hope too much, do not take it as a main source of income, it will good in the process.
We do not need to have a lot of friends who are gamblers to start referral program, there are so many places in the internet in order to start it.
Coming up to wasting time or not, it depends on how people do it.
If they do it without any pressure to gain a lot of referral and just do it for spending spare it, it is obviously not a wasting time.

Good point. in fact we have many examples that we can emulate, or make inspiration if interested in getting additional income from referrals. maybe we can take the example of streamers on several platforms, social media, online or others, like YouTube for example which provides more space to share our affiliate links by creating gambling content. but it should also be remembered, content must be devoted only to adults. one can also advertise in other gambling communities, or create interesting blogs and so on.

Which in essence, everything is demanded of our desires if you want to seriously make it extra income. does not rule out, to partner with several gambling platforms if someone has a lot of followers. well, the problem is how we live it and most importantly want to try.
Anyway, overall I agree with what you said.

Also, it is very important to note that referral bonus has requirements that must be fulfilled in other to benefit the reward, most gamblers don't take time to read and understand the conditions attached before applying, it actually involves doing a particular task that involves referring others, there's also a percentage cut on every member referred, many don't know that they have a system that controls all the monitoring to referrals, many makes more money through this because they finds it easy to do while some sees it as a difficult task.

Actually, as someone who does a referral program, the results they get depend on the activeness or creativity of the referrer to be able to continuously refer others to register through that referral link.
Even though some of the referred people didn't do anything but the referrers were very active in making updates which would allow other interested people to make deposits and start betting in the casino itself.
Sometimes this task has several conditions, such as the person being referred must make a deposit or make a bet which makes it difficult for the referrer to get a commission and is considered a waste of time when the person being referred does not fulfill these conditions.
But if indeed these conditions are too difficult to carry out, it is better not to do the referral program and do another program to get benefits that are easier to fulfill the conditions.
