# Referrals
### Referral Bonus
Referral Bonus are rewards you and your invited friends earn by inviting them to join Yotta Labs.
When someone signs up using your unique referral link and fits our bonus conditions, your organization and your referral's organization will both receive credits that can be applied toward your future compute usage on our platform.
#### How Referral Works
1. **Share Your Referral Link with New Users:**
Click on the `share` button and share the referral link to your friends via X(Twitter), Facebook or Reddit.
{% hint style="info" %}
Each organization has one unique Referral Link that is permanently bound to that Org and cannot be changed.
{% endhint %}
2. **New User Registration:**
When someone clicks your referral link and creates a new Yotta Labs account with a third-party account, they become your referred user. **Their account status so far is only `registered` , not `valid` yet.**
3. **Validation Requirements:**
For the referral to be successful and rewards to be granted, your referred user must first register and then become **valid referrals** under the following conditions :
* **Sign up with a third-party account (Google / GitHub)**
* **Top up a total of $5 credits in four weeks ($2 welcome credit for new users not included)**
4. **Earn Referral Bonus**:
Once the referred user meets the activation requirements, the **corresponding tier bonus** will be automatically added to your referral bonus in your organization.
Meanwhile, the referral's organization will receive **3 credits** as their bonus as well.
For specific bonus tiers, please refer to the image below.
The more people your invite, the more bonus you'll receive **until you reach an upper limit of 40 people!**
5. **Claim Your Credits**:
Click the "Claim" button to convert your Available Bonus into usable compute credits. Once claimed, the amount moves to **Claimed Credits** and adds up to your organization's **Balance** on **Billing** page**.**
{% hint style="info" %}
Remember, **Available Bonus + Compute Credits = Total Referral Bonus**.
{% endhint %}
6. **See your claim history**
You can check your the date, amount and currency of your past claiming at the **Claim History** part.
{% hint style="info" %}
Anyone belong to the organization can share the link, and all bonus is earned and claimed within the organization account.
{% endhint %}
7. **See your Referral Credit Claim History**
Your can check the total number and register dates of your referred users and whether they've become valid users at the **Referral Credit Claim History** page. Don't hesitate to reach out if they stuck in `registered` status!
### Risk control policy
Users are strictly prohibited from engaging in fraudulent or abusive behavior to manipulate the referral program. Once an invited user is identified as such problematic user:
1. That invited user will no longer be eligible to receive the $3 reward.
2. For the referrer:
1. That invited user will not be counted toward the referral count, valid referral count, or referral history.
2. No referral bonus will be granted to the referrer as a result of that invited user becoming a valid referral.
