# Rank Referral Program (Points)

The Rank Referral Program rewards top badge holders with a percentage match of the points earned by their referred users.

#### Eligibility

* **Who qualifies: Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Challenger** (Season 2 only)
* **What you earn:** a weekly points match on the points your referrals generate
* **First distribution:** **Week 8 of Season 2** (included in the standard weekly points payout)

### Match Rates (Season 2)

* **Gold:** 2%
* **Platinum:** 3%
* **Diamond:** 4%
* **Challenger:** 5%

### How it works

1. A user signs up with your **referral code** and completes KYC.
2. Each week, your referred users earn points based on their activity.
3. You receive a percentage match (per the rates above) on those points. The match is included in the weekly points distribution.
