Refer a Friend at Ginga

Refer a friend is the rare promotion that pays without asking you to deposit anything. You share a personal link, the invited player registers through it, funds the account and plays a little, and both sides collect. The reward is modest and the anti-abuse rules are strict, so this page sets out exactly what triggers a payout in euros and what quietly voids one.

How the invite link works

When a refer-a-friend campaign is running, every Ginga account is issued a unique referral link inside the account area. The link is the whole mechanism: it tags the new registration to you at the moment it happens. A friend who signs up directly and mentions your name afterwards cannot be attached retroactively — support has nothing to attach them to. Send the link, make sure they open it in the same browser they will register in, and the tracking does the rest.

Only genuinely new players count. An existing Ginga account, a reactivated old account, or a second account belonging to someone who already plays will not qualify no matter which link they came through.

What the referral bonus pays, and when

Stage	Condition	Result
Registration	Friend opens an account via your link	Referral logged, nothing paid yet
Verification	Citizen card or passport, proof of address under 3 months	Required before either side is credited
Qualifying deposit	Usually from €20 by MB WAY, Multibanco, Trustly or Skrill	Counter starts
Play condition	A set amount of real-money turnover, commonly a few hundred euros	Reward unlocks on completion
Your reward	Typically €10-€25 in cash or bonus credit	Light or no wagering, stated per campaign
Friend's reward	Often free spins or a small credit on top of the welcome offer	Follows its own terms
Claim cap	A limited number of referrals per period	Prevents farming
Withdrawing it	Standard cashier rules	€20 minimum, €50 in USDT or Litecoin

Nothing pays on a click. The reward triggers only after the invited player has deposited and played the stated amount, which is why a referral logged today may credit two weeks later. Where the reward arrives as bonus credit rather than cash, it is usually light — nothing like the 30-35× on a welcome match.

How to invite a friend the right way

Copy your own referral link from inside your logged-in Ginga account — never a link someone else posted.
Send it privately to someone who actually wants to play, not to a public channel.
Tell them the qualifying steps up front: register through the link, verify, deposit at least €20, then play.
Point them at the registration guide so verification is done before they deposit, not after.
Watch the referral status in your account and contact live chat only if a completed referral has not credited within the stated period.

What voids an invite friend bonus

Self-referral — opening a second account for yourself, a partner or a housemate on the same device or IP.
Shared payment details: two accounts funded by the same MB WAY number or Skrill wallet are treated as one person.
Spamming the link publicly, which most campaigns forbid outright.
The invited player depositing below the qualifying minimum, or by a method excluded from the campaign.
Either account failing verification — the reward is held for both sides until KYC clears.

These rules are enforced automatically and the penalty falls on both accounts, including the balance already in them. Since Ginga runs on an international licence rather than an SRIJ licence from Turismo de Portugal, an appeal against a voided referral goes to the operator and its own regulator rather than to a Portuguese authority — another reason to stay well clear of the grey area.

Is refer a friend actually worth it?

It is one of the few offers that costs you nothing and changes nothing about how you play, which makes it good value by definition. But it is not a scheme: the caps, the play conditions and the anti-abuse checks are designed so the only reliable way to earn is to introduce someone who genuinely wanted to join. Treat it as a small thank-you on top of normal play, and if the reward arrives as bonus credit, check its terms against the general rules on the bonus terms page. Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over — never invite anyone who is not, and never anyone who has self-excluded.

Refer a friend FAQ

How much does my friend have to deposit for the referral to count?

Normally the standard €20 qualifying minimum on MB WAY, Multibanco, Trustly, Skrill or Paysafecard, plus a set amount of play afterwards. A SEPA bank transfer starts at €25 and clears the next working day, so it counts but slows the referral down.

When does the referral bonus actually appear in my balance?

After the invited player has completed both the qualifying deposit and the play condition, and after both accounts are verified. That can be days or weeks after the registration itself — the campaign terms state the window, and nothing credits on the click alone.

Can I refer someone who already has a Ginga account?

No. Only genuinely new players qualify, and reactivating a dormant account does not count either. Attempting it usually voids the reward for both sides rather than simply failing quietly.

Is there a limit on how many friends I can invite?

Yes, most campaigns cap the number of rewarded referrals per period. The cap is printed in the promotion terms alongside the reward size, and it exists specifically to stop the offer being farmed with fake accounts.
