# Referrals

> Earn 30% of your friends' trading fees by sharing your unique referral link.

Overdog's referral program lets you earn a share of trading fees every time someone you invited makes a trade. There's nothing extra to set up — earnings accumulate automatically and are paid out to your wallet.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your referral link">
    Send `/referrals` in the bot. Your unique link will be displayed in the format:

    ```
    https://t.me/overdog_bot?start=YOUR_CODE
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share the link">
    Send it to friends, post it in communities, or use the **Share Link** button inside `/referrals` to share directly via Telegram.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Friend joins via your link">
    When someone opens Overdog through your link, they are automatically linked to your account as a referral.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Earn automatically">
    You earn **30% of their trading fees** on every trade they make. No action required on your part.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Viewing your stats

Send `/referrals` at any time to see:

| Stat             | Description                                     |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Friends Referred | Total number of users who joined via your link  |
| Total Earned     | Cumulative commissions already paid out         |
| Pending          | Commissions earned and awaiting the next payout |

## Payouts

Earnings are paid out daily to your Overdog wallet. The minimum payout threshold is **\$10.00**. If your pending balance is below this amount, it will roll over to the next payout cycle.

## Changing your referral code

You can personalize your referral code by tapping **Change Code** inside `/referrals`.

* Codes must be 3–30 characters: lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only.
* No leading, trailing, or consecutive hyphens.
* You can change your code **once every 24 hours**.
* If a code is already taken, choose a different one.

<Warning>
  Changing your code does not break existing referral links — anyone who already joined via your old link remains linked to your account. However, your old link will stop working for new users. Update any links you've shared.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  The best place to share your link is in communities where people are already talking about prediction markets — sports groups, political discussion channels, or crypto trading communities. A short personal message explaining what Overdog does converts far better than a bare link.
