How the credit flows
Most reviewed platforms use a simple two-step referral flow: invite a friend, the friend signs up with the code, the friend deposits, the platform credits both sides. The credit is usually a percentage of the friend's first deposit, capped at the platform's referral ceiling. Slots Studio does not earn anything on either side.
What Slots Studio earns on referrals
Slots Studio earns its fee through the Play now button, not through the friend referral flow. The refer-a-friend programme is the platform's; we link out to it so readers can use it correctly.
What the friend sees
Your friend sees the platform's standard welcome screen, then a small line confirming the referral code was applied. The credit is reflected in the wallet once the friend's first deposit clears (usually inside ten minutes for UPI and inside the day for card and netbanking.
What you see
You see the credited amount inside the friend-bonus tile of your profile, alongside any other outstanding bonus credit. Each platform names this tile differently; the help-centre entry is usually labelled "Refer a friend" or "Friends and referrals".
Validity and eligible tables
The validity window for a referral credit is platform-defined. Most reviewed platforms set the window at ninety days. The eligible-tables list is usually broader than the welcome bonus) Points, Deals and Pool sessions all count toward the wager requirement. But read the lobby rule strip before sitting.
When to skip the credit
If the wager requirement on the referral credit is above ×25, the credit stops being a positive expected value for occasional readers. Take the credit only when the wager requirement is below ×25, or when you have the session time to clear it inside the window.
Sharing a referral code without breaking the rules
Most reviewed platforms publish a referral programme that pays a fixed fee to the referrer when the referee signs up. The fee is paid once per sign-up, not on subsequent play. The Slots Studio desk logs the fee structure on the platform's own terms page, and the fee is the same fee that the platform pays to any other referrer.
The terms of the programme matter. Some platforms require the referee to clear KYC before the fee is paid; others pay on sign-up. Some platforms publish the referral code as a permanent link; others rotate it every quarter. The terms also restrict where the code can be shared; paid promotion of a referral code on search engines is usually disallowed.
The platform's own rules apply to the referrer. If a reader shares a code in a way the platform does not allow, the fee can be reversed. The Slots Studio desk has logged reversals; the platform's customer-care team is the only reliable source on what is and is not allowed.
