Refer a Friend Bonus at Live Casinos

Casino websites understand the need to build a player base by much more than simple advertising. They also count of current players telling their friends about their experiences at the website. In order to propagate this, they offer a bonus award to these players based on a certain parameters such as the amount of the player’s first deposit among others.

The referral process can differ from casino to casino but they all require that the referring player have on hand the name and email address of the friend they are referring. Most casinos will have a section to make referring friends much easier for the players. This will include a readymade form that will need to be filled out and then the casino will contact the friend via email with a referral code for them to use.

Referral codes are extremely important as this is how the casino website tracks which player s had been referred. Normally they will include a link to their website that allows the friend to simply sign up and the referral will be credited automatically to the player. Some websites however, require that the referred friend input the player’s name or email address when signing up in order for them to get credited with the referral.

Once the player has referred their friends and they have signed up to the casino website, the next step is the friend’s qualifying deposit. The referred friend must make a minimum deposit to the website and complete some play through requirements in order for the referrer to receive their bonus award. This bonus award may either be a flat rate per player or a percentage based on the amount of the friend’s first deposit.

In most cases, the casinos will require that the referred friend meet some wagering requirements before releasing the bonus to the referrer. This is usually a lower amount than their first deposit bonus requirements as far as the play through requirements. The friend still has to meet any and all requirements for their own bonus but once they have met the lower requirement as a referral, the referring player then receives their bonus automatically.

Casino websites rarely limit the number of friends one player may refer to their website. There are some that only allow a certain amount in awards from this promotion per month and they all have a general rule that only one player may refer the same individual to the website one time. Players found opening multiple accounts to abuse this bonus offer will have all their accounts closed and winnings confiscated by the casino.

The most important thing to keep in mind with this bonus offer is to ensure that the referred friend uses the link in the email or the referral code so the referring player gets their credit. If this isn’t put in the proper area, the credit goes unresolved and the player loses out on their bonus. Some websites also require that the referring player meet a play through requirement but these are few and far between.
