Refer a friend: the referral bonus in plain terms

"Refer a friend" schemes pay you a bonus when someone opens an account through your link or code and meets certain conditions — usually a first deposit and some minimum betting. If Powerbet runs such a scheme, you will find it in your account with your personal link and the current conditions. This page covers how to judge it and where problems arise.

See Powerbet promotions

What triggers the bonus

Typically the credit arrives only once the friend has signed up through your link, verified their identity, made a first deposit above a minimum and sometimes bet a set amount. Only then are you credited — with cash or with bonus money that carries wagering. Sometimes the friend gets something too; check whether it is separate from their welcome bonus or replaces it.

The real value

Illustrative example, not a Powerbet offer: you receive 100 lei as a bonus with 12x wagering.

Wagering: 100 × 12 = 1,200 lei.
On a 96% RTP slot the expected loss over the wagering is 48 lei.
Expected value: 100 − 48 = 52 lei.

Paid in cash, the same amount would be worth the full 100 lei. The form of payment matters as much as the amount.

Anti-abuse rules

Operators almost always exclude referrals between accounts in the same household, on the same device or with the same payment method. A "friend" who is really your second account breaks the terms and leads to the bonus being voided and often both accounts being closed. Referrals must also reach only adults who choose to play on their own.

Referral and responsibility

A referral bonus is no reason to talk someone into gambling. If your friend was not already interested, your bonus is not worth their risk. Warning signs of problem gambling and where to get free help are on the responsible gambling page.

What to check in the terms

What exactly the friend has to do: minimum deposit, betting volume, deadline.
Whether your credit is cash or bonus money with wagering.
How many referrals are allowed and whether there is an overall cap.
Whether the friend keeps the right to the welcome bonus.
How soon the credit is paid after conditions are met.

Referral FAQ

Where do I find my Powerbet referral link?

If the scheme is active, your personal link or code appears in your account, usually in the promotions or profile section.

Can I refer my own second account?

No. Multiple accounts are forbidden, and referrals within one household or device are normally excluded.

Does the referral bonus carry wagering?

Sometimes. If it is paid as a bonus, apply the wagering formula; if it is cash, its value is the full amount.
