Refer a friend at Posido: rewards, rules and responsibility
Refer-a-friend programmes reward an existing player when someone they invite opens an account and meets certain conditions, such as making a deposit or placing a number of bets. Whether Posido runs such a programme for your account, and on what terms, is set by the operator. This guide explains how referral schemes usually work, the rules that commonly apply and a point that is rarely mentioned: inviting someone into gambling is a responsibility as well as a reward.
How referral programmes usually work
- You receive a personal link or code in your account.
- Your friend registers through that link and completes verification.
- Your friend meets the qualifying condition set in the terms.
- A reward — often bonus funds or spins — is credited to one or both accounts.
Rewards credited as bonus money carry the usual wagering and expiry rules; the wagering guide explains them.
Rules that commonly apply
| Rule | Why it exists |
|---|---|
| The friend must be a new customer | Existing players cannot be referred |
| Different household and payment details | Prevents self-referral |
| Qualifying deposit or bets | Reward depends on real activity |
| Limit on number of referrals | Caps the operator's exposure |
| Verification of both accounts | Identity rules apply to everyone |
Breaking these rules, for example by referring a second account of your own, usually means losing the reward and possibly the account.
The responsibility side
A referral reward is paid because your friend deposits and plays. Before sending a link, consider whether that person can afford it, whether gambling is legal where they live and whether they have ever had difficulties with it. Never pressure someone to join, and never share a link with anyone under the legal gambling age. Be especially careful with people you know have struggled with gambling, debt or addiction. A reward of a few spins is never worth the risk of drawing a friend back into a habit they have worked to leave, and a friendship can suffer if they later lose money they could not spare.
Sharing links safely
Share your link privately rather than publicly, and never post it alongside promises of winnings or "easy money". Messages like that are misleading and in many countries breach advertising rules. If a friend asks you how to protect themselves, point them to the responsible gambling page and suggest they set a deposit limit from the first day.
Checking the current terms
Referral terms can change, and some programmes run only for a limited period. Look in the account area or the operator's promotions page for the current rules, and keep a copy when you share a link. If a reward does not appear, contact support with your friend's registration date; the support guide explains how to prepare such a request. For other offers, see the bonus overview.
