# Referral Program

To fuel the continued growth of the Ape Church platform, we've introduced a referral system that allows users to earn a share of the service fees by referring others. This incentivizes those with influence to spread the word, helping to bring in new users. Whenever someone joins the platform through a referral and plays games, the referrer earns a portion of the service fees.

Currently, referrers can earn <mark style="color:blue;">**up to 10%**</mark> of the total service fees generated from games played by their referrals. These fees are paid to the referrer after the game is completed.

*Example:*\
*If a referred player spends $10,000 on the platform, the referrer would earn:*\
*$10,000 \* 0.1 \* 0.1 = $100.*

This means that <mark style="color:blue;">**10% of the service fee**</mark> is taken from the total amount wagered, and then 10% of that amount is given to the referrer.

Referrers will receive their earnings immediately once the game concludes, and the rewards will continue as long as the referred players are active under the referrer’s code.

If a referrer has a wide-reaching network, the potential for earnings can grow significantly as more players are referred and continue to engage on the platform.<br>
