Refer a Friend and the Referral Timeline

A referral programme differs from every other offer in one important respect: completing it does not depend on you alone. The reward appears only once another person has opened an account, deposited and staked an agreed amount. That gives it the longest chain between action and money, and the largest number of points at which the process can stall.

The chain from invite to credit

The programme issues a personal link or code tied to your account. The invited player opens an account through it, passes identification, makes a deposit meeting the campaign minimum and stakes the required amount. Only after the final step does the reward calculation begin. None of those stages is instant, and the last one is normally the slowest by a wide margin.

Stage	Example condition	Typical duration
Account opened through the link	A new, first account for that person	Minutes
Identification	ID card, Mobile-ID or Smart-ID	Minutes to hours
Qualifying deposit	For example 25 €	Same day
Required play	For example 150 € of stakes	Days to weeks
Reward credited	For example 15 € to each side	Up to a few working days afterwards

The form of the reward sets the waiting time

If the referral reward arrives as a bonus, one more stage joins the chain: it has to be wagered before it can be withdrawn. Fifteen euros at a tenfold multiplier means 150 euros of stakes, roughly three hundred rounds at fifty cents. If it arrives as cash, it is withdrawable at once and travels onward under the ordinary payout schedule. The difference between the two is not the amount but the speed at which the amount moves.

What cancels a reward

The invited person already held an account — the programme covers genuinely new players only.
The account was opened without your link or code, and the connection cannot be added afterwards.
Two accounts share a device or a payment instrument, a pattern read as self-referral.
The invited player did not reach the required volume within the deadline.
The link was scattered among strangers: unverified sign-ups do not qualify and can raise questions about the referring account as well.

Who this actually suits

A referral programme returns something only when the person invited would have been interested anyway. Building a list for points does not work: the reward is tied to real play rather than to the number of registrations, and abandoned accounts return nothing. Three friends who genuinely play are worth more than thirty links that never qualify.

The other half deserves saying plainly. An invitation recommends an activity in which money can be lost. If the invitation would land with someone whose budget is already stretched, it is better left unsent. Limits and time-outs are described on the responsible gambling page, and the national register is explained under self-exclusion.

What the invited person should know first

The reward is tied to their real play, not to the fact of registering — meeting the condition costs them money.
A first withdrawal requires identification and is therefore always slower than later ones.
A reward paid as a bonus is not immediately withdrawable and carries its own multiplier.
An account can be limited or paused at any time without affecting a reward already credited.

Checking where the process stands

The referral view in the account normally shows the status of each invited account: registered, deposited, condition met. When a status sits in the middle stage for weeks, the reason is almost always the play requirement rather than a technical fault. Reading that view before contacting support answers about half the questions on its own.
