Refer Friends, Earn Free Stocks

Refer Friends, Earn Free Stocks

Share your referral code with friends and you both get free stocks when they deposit $100+! It's our way of rewarding you for helping grow the AthX community. Sign up today to get your referral code and start earning free stocks!

How the Referral Program Works

Step 1: Get Your Referral Code

Every AthX user has a unique referral code automatically generated when you sign up. You can find it in:

  • Your account settings
  • Your dashboard
  • Your profile page
  • Your referral code is case-insensitive and easy to share - just copy and paste it wherever you want!

    Step 2: Share Your Code

    Share your referral code with:

  • Friends and family who love sports
  • Social media followers (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
  • Sports communities (forums, Discord servers, Reddit - where allowed)
  • Co-workers or classmates interested in sports trading
  • When someone signs up using your code, they'll enter it during the registration process on the signup page.

    Step 3: They Deposit $100+

    When your referred friend deposits a total of $100 or more, the rewards are automatically granted. This can be:

  • One-time deposit: Single $100+ deposit
  • Cumulative deposits: Multiple deposits that add up to $100+ over time
  • Example: If your friend deposits $30, then $40, then $50 (total $120), rewards are granted after the third deposit when they hit $100.

    Step 4: You Both Get Free Stocks!

    Once the $100 threshold is met:

  • You receive: 1 free stock of a random player
  • They receive: 1 free stock of a random player
  • Important: Both of you receive different random players, so you can diversify your portfolios together! This means you won't both get the same player - you'll each get a unique random selection. Note: Referral rewards are separate from the first deposit bonus. Your friend gets their first deposit free stock (at $50+) AND a referral reward free stock (when they hit $100+).

    Program Details

    Maximum Referrals

    You can refer up to 25 people total. This means you could potentially earn up to 25 additional free stocks through referrals!

    Deposit Threshold

    Referred users must deposit at least $100 total to trigger rewards. This can be:

  • One deposit of $100+
  • Multiple deposits that add up to $100+
  • Deposits made over days, weeks, or months
  • Why $100?: This threshold ensures that referred users are serious about trading and building their portfolios, making the referral program valuable for both you and them.

    Reward Timing

    Rewards are granted automatically when the $100 threshold is met. You don't need to do anything - the system tracks deposits and grants rewards instantly when the threshold is reached. You'll receive a notification when:

  • Someone signs up using your referral code
  • Your referred friend deposits $100+ and rewards are granted
  • Free Stock Rules

    Referral reward stocks follow the same rules as deposit bonus free shares:

  • Cannot be sold manually - they're held until the end of the season
  • Eligible for dividends - if the player performs well, you'll earn monthly dividends
  • Count toward diverse holdings bonus - they help you qualify for portfolio bonuses
  • Automatic end-of-season sale - sold automatically at season end
  • Real Example: How Referrals Work

    Here's a step-by-step example: 1. You sign up and deposit $50 → Get 1 free stock from deposit bonus 2. You share your referral code → Friend sees it and signs up using your code 3. Friend deposits $50 → Gets their deposit bonus free stock 4. Friend deposits another $50 (total $100) → Referral rewards triggered! 5. You get → 1 free stock (referral reward) 6. Friend gets → 1 additional free stock (referral reward) Result: You now have 2 free stocks, and your friend has 2 free stocks. Both of you can earn dividends on these holdings!

    Tips for Successful Referrals

    1. Share on Social Media

    Post your referral code on:

  • Twitter/X: Share with your sports followers
  • Facebook: Post in groups or on your timeline
  • Instagram: Add to your bio or stories
  • LinkedIn: Share with professional network (if appropriate)
  • Pro Tip: Create a post explaining what AthX is and why you love it, then include your referral code. Personal recommendations work best!

    2. Email Friends Directly

    Send personalized emails to friends who:

  • Love sports (especially baseball)
  • Are interested in trading or investing
  • Enjoy fantasy sports
  • Want to try something new
  • Pro Tip: Explain how you're using AthX and what you like about it. Personal stories are more effective than generic pitches.

    3. Word of Mouth

    Tell people about AthX in person:

  • At sports events
  • During conversations about sports
  • When discussing trading or investing
  • When friends ask what you're doing
  • Pro Tip: Have your referral code ready on your phone so you can share it easily!

    4. Community Forums (Where Allowed)

    Share in:

  • Sports forums
  • Discord servers
  • Reddit communities (check rules first)
  • Fantasy sports groups
  • Important: Always check community rules before sharing referral codes. Some communities don't allow referral links.

    5. Create Content

    If you create content (blog, YouTube, podcast, etc.):

  • Mention AthX naturally in your content
  • Share your referral code in descriptions or show notes
  • Explain how you use AthX in your content
  • Tracking Your Referrals

    You can track your referrals in your account settings:

  • See who has signed up using your code
  • Track deposit progress toward the $100 threshold
  • View when rewards were granted
  • See your total referral count (up to 25)
  • Common Questions

    Q: Can I refer myself?

    A: No. Self-referrals are prevented - the system checks to ensure you can't use your own referral code.

    Q: What if my friend doesn't deposit $100?

    A: No rewards are granted until the $100 threshold is met. Your friend can deposit over time - it doesn't have to be all at once.

    Q: Can I refer more than 25 people?

    A: You can refer more than 25 people, but only the first 25 who deposit $100+ will earn you free stocks. After 25, you won't receive additional referral rewards.

    Q: Do referral reward stocks earn dividends?

    A: Yes! Referral reward stocks are eligible for dividends just like deposit bonus free shares and purchased shares.

    Q: When do I get my free stock?

    A: You receive your free stock automatically when your referred friend deposits $100+. You'll get a notification when it's granted.
