The Sivex Play referral program
How does the referral program work?
- Share your code. Every Sivex account has a referral code and link to share. A creator's code is also their crew code.
- They sign up. They land in your crew (or Sivex HQ) and find 15 days of Sivex Pass waiting in their rewards, to claim when they are ready to play daily. The code applies within 7 days of signup, before a first deposit or entry.
- They deposit. Their first deposit lands a freeroll pass for each of you.
- They play a cash match. Their first entry paid from their own Balance makes them a qualified referral — a Shield for you, always. Creators also earn 2% of their deposits and a bounty per player.
What is a freeroll pass?
One seat in the Friday cash freeroll. The freeroll is earned, not open.
The freeroll runs once a week, on Friday: free to enter, 30 minutes, fixed platform cash to the top 3. A pass is the only way in. A trader you refer earns a pass for both of you with their first deposit, and content we approve on the creators page earns one too.
| Earned | Your referral’s first deposit (one each) · approved content · campaigns |
|---|---|
| Spends | One Friday freeroll, used on entry (returned if it is cancelled) |
| Expires | 30 days after it is granted |
| Creators | Earn it too on a referral’s first deposit — on top of the bounty |
| Shield | Every qualified referral also earns a Shield (one broken Run day, protected; transferable code) |
Your passes live in your rewards, next to your Pass days.
What does a creator earn?
Two things on every player they bring: 2% of deposits, and a bounty.
The deposit commission is 2% of every deposit a player you brought makes, up to $5,000 of deposits per player per month, paid in Free Cash the moment the deposit confirms. Free Cash enters any lobby and expires after 90 days. The bounty pays once per player who deposits $20 or more and plays a cash match; it climbs with your lifetime count.
| Players 1–24 | $1.00 each |
|---|---|
| Players 25–99 | $1.50 each |
| Player 100 onward | $2.00 each |
Host a lobby and 15% of its rake is yours in cash — on top of the deposit commission and the bounty. A creator on a negotiated fixed monthly deal earns that instead of the 2% and the bounty, never both.
Not a creator yet? Apply for a crew with your handle, links and audience size. Three qualified referrals is a strong signal.
What does the trader I refer get?
15 days of Sivex Pass, and a crew.
The Pass days are a claim-to-activate reward: nothing turns on at signup. They claim it from their rewards the day they are ready to play daily, and the clock starts then — so a player who deposits three days late has not burned three days. Every new player gets 7 days; a referred player gets 15.
They also land in the referrer's crew if the referrer founded one, otherwise in Sivex HQ. Crews are where S-Cash comes from — seat-buying cash a crew captain hands out from the crew treasury.
Your referral code lives on your referral dashboard once you have an account — along with your earnings and share tools.
Common questions
- How does the Sivex Play referral program work?
- Share your referral code or link. Someone who signs up with it lands in your crew (or Sivex HQ if you have none) and gets 15 days of Sivex Pass to claim from their rewards. When they make their first deposit you both get a freeroll pass. When they play their first cash match they become a qualified referral: you earn a Shield, and as a creator a bounty on that player plus 2% of every deposit they make, in Free Cash.
- What is a qualified referral?
- Someone who signed up with your code and has played at least one cash match with their own Balance — not on Free Cash. Putting real money into a real match is what qualifies them. Every qualified referral earns you a Shield, and a creator the bounty too. (The freeroll pass comes earlier, on their first deposit.) The code has to be applied within 7 days of creating the account, before a first deposit or entry.

- A creator earns 2% of every deposit the players they brought make, paid in Free Cash, plus a bounty per player who deposits $20 or more and plays a cash match: $1 each, $1.50 from the 25th such player, $2 from the 100th. Hosting a lobby pays 15% of its rake on top. Free Cash enters any lobby and expires after 90 days.

- Apply at /creators/apply with your handle, your links and your audience size. We look at reach and at what your referrals do; three qualified referrals is a strong signal. Approval unlocks crew founding, the deposit commission and the bounty.
