How do I refer a friend?

Your friends should add your personal referral code when creating their new RSI accounts. Once an account is created, a new player has 24-hours to add a referral code to their account to claim their rewards if they did not add it at account creation. More info on this process can be found here.

Where do I find my personal referral code?

You can find it on the Referral Program Page. Your Referral Code is unique and can be shared anywhere you like, including on social media, via email, or on your website.
