Referrals & points guide: how to earn and spend points

2.How referrals work

1
Share your link or code

Copy your link from the “Refer a friend” page, or send it by WhatsApp, Messenger, imo or SMS.

2
Your friend registers

They open a new account through your link or with your code and verify their email — and immediately get a double registration bonus (200 points).

3
Meeting the conditions

Within 7 days their profile must be at least 70% complete and their birth registration must be verified.

4
Reward

As soon as the conditions are met, you get 100 points. You can see the status in “Referral history”.

3.Points for active time

While you are actively using the site or app, you earn 1 point per minute, up to 60 a day.

  • Time is counted only in a visible tab — background tabs don't count
  • Counting stops after 2 minutes without a click or scroll
  • Time is counted only once, even across several devices or tabs

4.Balance & history

The dashboard and the “Points & boost” page show your current balance and every transaction: registration bonus, referrals, active time, boost spending, refunds and admin adjustments.

5.Important rules

  • Points cannot be bought, sold or transferred to another member
  • You cannot refer yourself or open more than one account
  • The referral reward for a new member is paid only once
  • Rewards for suspicious sign-ups from the same device, IP or number are held back
  • Up to 10 referral rewards per month
  • No points are given for stories, reviews or blog posts that are awaiting review or rejected
  • Points are given once per piece — editing an approved piece sends it for review again, but no new points are given

Unused points expire 12 months after your last activity. Deleting your account deletes your points too.

If misuse is found, the points involved may be cancelled and the account suspended.
