Refer a friend
A refer-a-friend programme rewards an existing player when someone they invite opens an account and meets certain conditions, usually a first deposit and some play. Sometimes the new player receives a bonus too. Not every casino runs one, and where it exists the conditions can differ by country. Whether Nine offers a referral programme to your account is shown in the promotions section or in the account menu; this page explains the usual mechanics so you can read the terms quickly.
Typical flow
- You get a personal referral link or code in your account.
- Your friend registers with it and verifies the account.
- Your friend makes a qualifying deposit and sometimes stakes a minimum amount.
- The reward is credited to you, often as a bonus with wagering, after a waiting period.
Conditions that often apply
- The friend must be a new customer who has never had an account at the casino.
- Referrals within the same household, IP address or payment method are usually not allowed.
- Rewards may be limited to a number of referrals per month.
- Both players must be of legal age and in a country where the casino accepts players.
Breaking these rules can lead to the reward being removed and, in serious cases, to account closure.
Before you invite someone
A referral is a recommendation, and gambling is not a neutral product. Think about whether the person you invite plays for fun within a budget. Avoid inviting anyone under 18, anyone who has had problems with gambling, or anyone who might feel pressured to deposit to help you unlock a reward. Explain that the referral reward comes with conditions and that they can play without a bonus.
Share what matters about the games
If you do invite a friend, the most useful advice is not the bonus code but how to read a game. Show them the info panel, where the RTP version running at the casino is displayed, and explain that a review figure may differ. Explain volatility: high-volatility slots can go a long time without wins, which matters for a small first deposit. Suggest trying a demo first where available, with the reminder that demo play does not show withdrawals and may run a different configuration.
Referral rewards and wagering
A referral reward credited as a bonus behaves like any other bonus: wagering, contribution by game type, a maximum bet and an expiry. Read the clause before playing with it, and keep stakes under the limit. If the reward is cash, check whether withdrawal requires a deposit of your own first.
Keep a record
Referral rewards are sometimes credited weeks after the invitation. Note the date your friend registered and keep the referral link or code you shared. If the reward does not appear after the stated waiting period, those details let support trace the referral quickly.
