What is the PICKEM Affiliate Program?
The Affiliate Program lets you invite friends to PICKEM using your unique referral code/link. When your referred users sign up and play in the Casino, you earn coins based on their wagering activity.
Getting Started
Where do I find the Affiliate Program?
Go to Account → Affiliate Program.
Sharing & Referral Activation
What do I share: a code or a link?
You’ll be able to share your referral link. Use whichever is easiest for the channel you’re sharing in.
How does a referral “activate”?
A referral activates when the referred user:
Signs up on PICKEM, and
Plays in the Casino (i.e., places at least one bet/wager in either gold coins or sweepstakes coins)
Until both steps happen, the referral won’t count toward commissions or progress.
Do I earn coins just from sign-ups?
No. Sign-up alone doesn’t activate a referral. The user must sign up + play (place a bet).
Where do I find my referral link?
Inside Account → Affiliate Program, you’ll see your unique link.
Commissions & How to Increase Them
How do commissions work?
You earn coins from your referred users’ Casino wagers. Each time a referred user places a wager, your commission is calculated as:
Commission = Referrer Wager × (1 − RTP) × (CommissionRate)
Where:
Referrer Wager = the wager amount placed by the referred user
RTP = Return to Player of the game (so 1 − RTP represents the house edge)
CommissionRate = your current affiliate commission rate (driven by VIP Rank + Affiliate Progress)
What affects my commission rate?
Your commission rate is influenced by:
Your VIP Rank (this portion is permanent — VIP progress is never lost)
Your Affiliate Progress (this portion can increase or decrease over time based on activity)
How do Affiliate Points work?
Every time you get a user to activate (sign up + place a Casino wager), you receive +100 Affiliate Points.
Your total points place you into a Points Range, and each range has a specific commission rate.
Does my commission rate ever go down?
It depends on which part of your commission rate we’re talking about:
VIP Rank portion: Never goes down. VIP progress is permanent and is not lost.
Affiliate Progress portion: Can go down. Each day that no users are activated, your Affiliate Progress decreases by a certain number of points. The number of points removed varies by your current Points Range.
Commission rates based on the VIP Rank:
VIP Rank | Commission Rate |
Bronze | 2% |
Silver | 3% |
Gold | 5% |
Sapphire | 6% |
Ruby | 7% |
Onyx | 8% |
Diamond | 10% |
GOAT | 10% |
Affiliate progress commission rates based on points range:
Points range | Commission rate | Points lost per day |
1-500 | 3% | 3 |
501-1000 | 5% | 13 |
1001-2500 | 7% | 16 |
2501-5000 | 9% | 50 |
5001-7500 | 11% | 83 |
7501-10000 | 13% | 83 |
+10000 | 15% | 83 |
Viewing Your Commissions
Where can I see my commissions?
You can track commissions in multiple places:
Home page: your Claimable Commissions (when available)
Affiliate Program section:
This Week’s Casino Commissions
Total Casino Commissions
What’s the difference between “This Week” and “Total”?
This Week’s Casino Commissions: what you’ve generated during the current weekly window
Total Casino Commissions: lifetime commissions generated across all time
Referral Performance
Can I see which referrals are generating my commissions?
Yes. You can view referral performance inside the Affiliate Program. Referrals are displayed from highest to lowest based on the total commission generated (in SC).
Claiming, Expiration, and Playthrough
When do claimable commissions expire?
Claimable commissions expire every Monday at 00:00am EST (midnight).
If you don’t claim before the cutoff, unclaimed commissions expire permanently.
Tip: The app shows how much time is left until expiration so you don’t miss it.
What happens when I claim?
When you claim:
Coins are transferred to your wallet immediately
Claimed commissions have a x1 playthrough
The Claimable Commissions section disappears after claiming (until you have new claimables)
Can I recover expired commissions?
No. Expired commissions are gone forever once the weekly timer ends.
Where do I see my claimed and expired history?
You’ll see Claimed and Expired commissions in your Transaction Log, so you always have a record of historical winnings.
For Referred Users
I was invited—where do I enter the referral code?
You can enter the referral code during the onboarding / sign-up flow when creating your account.
What do I get for using a referral code?
If you enter a valid referral code during onboarding, you’ll receive extra bonus coins on top of the standard sign-up promo:
Referral bonus: 10,000 GC + 1 SC
Total sign-up promo (including referral bonus): 60,000 GC + 2 SC
These coins are added automatically once your account is created and the promo is applied.
Troubleshooting
My referral signed up but isn’t showing as active—why?
Most commonly:
They haven’t placed a bet in the Casino yet (activation requires sign up + play)
There may be a short delay for activity to appear in reporting (try again later)
The Casino banner disappeared—did something break?
No. The Casino lobby banner is designed to be removed after your first referral activates.
Terms & Fair Use (Quick Rules)
Only legitimate referrals count (no self-referrals or abuse).
PICKEM may withhold or reverse commissions in cases of fraud, manipulation, or policy violations.
