Refer a friend: the reward is the small part of the decision

Refer-a-friend programmes work in a similar way at most operators: you get a personal link or code, your friend registers through it, deposits and meets certain conditions, and then both of you — or only you — receive a bonus. Whether Sly runs such a programme for your account and what the rewards are, check in your profile or the promotions section; we don't quote amounts.

This page is not about squeezing more out of referrals. It is about the question the adverts never ask: what exactly are you offering the person you invite?

Sly programmes

What the conditions usually require

Note the second point: your reward depends on how much your friend has staked. The programme puts you in a position where you benefit from the other person playing more.

Before you send the link: three questions

  1. Do you know how this person plays? If you have ever noticed them chasing losses or hiding what they spend, an invitation may harm them more than any bonus helps.
  2. Will you tell them about stop-points too? An honest recommendation sounds like "I tried it, here's how I set my limits", not "sign up, there's a bonus".
  3. Would you send the link if there were no reward? If not, the recommendation is about the bonus, not the friend.

When you are the one invited

If you receive an invitation, the conditions are the same as for any registration: 18+, identity verification before withdrawal, one account per person. The invitee bonus usually carries its own wagering requirement. Write down your three stop-points before the first deposit regardless of who invited you, and don't feel obliged to play more "so they get their reward too".

Refer-a-friend questions

Can I invite a family member?
Usually not if you share an address or a device. The programme rules spell out the restrictions.
When do I receive the reward?
Most often after the invitee meets the conditions — a deposit and sometimes a set turnover. The timing is stated in the rules.
Can I post my link on social media?
Some operators prohibit public distribution of referral links. Read the rules before doing it so you don't lose the reward.
