WSOP has a referral system that pays you chips for bringing friends into the game. It’s one of the best deals in the app if you have people in your life who’d actually enjoy poker. Here’s how it works and how to get your invite link out there.

How the WSOP Referral System Works
When you invite someone using your personal referral link or code and they download the game and start playing, you earn a chip reward. The amount you earn can vary based on promotions, but referral bonuses tend to be substantial, often in the hundreds of millions of chips. Your friend also typically gets a welcome bonus for using a referral link, so both sides benefit.
Step 1: Find Your Invite Link or Code
Open WSOP and navigate to the Invite Friends section. It’s usually accessible from the main menu or from a dedicated Invite button in the lobby. Once you’re there, the app will display your unique referral link or a code that’s tied to your account. This is what you need to share.
Step 2: Share It
Copy the link and send it through whatever works best for your situation. Text message is the most direct. You can also share it on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, or any other messaging platform your friends use. The WSOP app usually has built-in share buttons for common platforms too, which makes this step even easier.
Step 3: Your Friend Downloads and Plays
Your friend needs to use your link or enter your code when they sign up. Just downloading the game isn’t enough in most cases. They need to go through the referral link specifically, or enter the code during the account setup process. Make sure they know this step so you both get credit.
Step 4: Collect Your Reward
Once your friend completes the required steps (usually installing the game and reaching a certain level or playing a minimum number of hands), your referral reward gets credited to your account. You should get a notification when this happens. If the reward doesn’t show up after your friend has clearly met the requirements, check the Invite Friends section in the app or contact WSOP support.
How Many Friends Can You Refer?
There’s typically no hard cap on the number of friends you can refer. Each valid referral earns you a reward. If you know a lot of people who would enjoy the game, this is a genuinely useful way to stack up chips. Some promotions also increase the referral bonus temporarily, so timing your invites around those events can pay off.
Referring Through Facebook
If you and your friends use Facebook, WSOP’s Facebook integration makes inviting even easier. The app can show you which Facebook friends already play and which ones don’t, letting you target invites at people who aren’t already in the game.
The referral system is one of those features that rewards you for doing something you’d probably do anyway, telling people about a game you enjoy. If you play WSOP regularly, it’s worth keeping that invite link handy.
