# Earn by Referring Your Friends

Referrers earn by growing the Megapot community. When you bring new players to Megapot, you earn a portion of their activity for life. Every ticket they buy, every prize they win, you get a cut.

But it doesn't stop there. When your referrals refer others, you earn from them too.

## Build Your Network, Multiply Your Chances

Every person in your referral network is another chance at sharing in a big win. The more your network grows, the more tickets are being played on your behalf.

**Your referral wins a $100,000 prize. You earn $8,000.**

You didn't buy the ticket. You didn't pick the numbers. You just shared a link.

### How Your Network Grows

When you refer someone, they become your **first-order referral**. When they refer someone else, that person becomes your **second-order referral**. You earn from both.

Your network can grow without you lifting a finger. Every time Alice brings someone new to Megapot, your earning potential increases.
