The PKR98 Referral Bonus, Fully Explained
Most competitor pages describe PKR98's referral program with a line like "earn rewards for inviting friends" and leave it there. The actual mechanic is more specific than that, and knowing it precisely is the difference between a referral link that quietly never pays out and one you can actually plan around.
The Exact Trigger
You receive Rs 500 when someone signs up using your referral code, deposits at least Rs 500, and wagers at least Rs 5000. All three parts matter - the sign-up, the Rs 500 deposit, and the Rs 5000 in cumulative wagering - and the reward is credited once your friend clears the last of them, not before.
Why Each Threshold Exists
The deposit threshold (Rs 500) filters out accounts created purely to farm referral codes with no real money involved. The wagering threshold (Rs 5000) goes a step further, requiring genuine play activity rather than a deposit that's immediately withdrawn. Together, they're a fairly standard anti-abuse structure for this category, just more clearly disclosed than most competitors bother to state.
What Doesn't Count
A friend who registers but never deposits doesn't trigger anything, regardless of how long they keep the account open.
A Rs 500 deposit with no further play satisfies the deposit half but not the Rs 5000 wagering half - both are required.
Depositing Rs 5000 in one go without playing it doesn't automatically count as "wagering" Rs 5000 - wagering refers to the amount actually bet across rounds, not the balance sitting in the wallet.
How to Track Whether a Referral Has Qualified
Check your referrals or rewards tab in-app rather than assuming a reward is coming based on a text from your friend saying "I deposited." Since the wagering condition happens after the deposit, there's typically a delay between a friend depositing and the referral reward actually posting to your account.
A Word on Referral Codes and Registration
Enter a referral code at the point of registration - most builds don't allow attaching one retroactively to an account that already exists. If a friend forgets to enter your code during sign-up, the referral generally can't be recovered after the fact. See the registration guide for the full sign-up walkthrough.
Setting Expectations With Friends
If you're sharing your code, it's worth being upfront about both thresholds rather than implying a friend just needs to "download the app" - that mismatch between what you promised and what's actually required is the most common source of frustration on either side of a referral.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get paid as soon as my friend registers with my code?
No - registration alone doesn't trigger it. They also need to deposit at least Rs 500 and wager at least Rs 5000.
What counts as "wagering" Rs 5000?
The cumulative amount bet across games, not the deposit or win amount - it can build up through many smaller bets.
Is there a limit to how many friends I can refer?
No widely-advertised cap, but each referral needs to independently clear both thresholds.
