How it works
Get your link
Every member has a personal link, players and server owners alike. It is below and in your dashboard: under Referral Program for players, under Promo Tools for server owners.
Share it with server owners
Send it to owners whose server is not listed here yet, on Discord, forums, social media or in a direct message. A ready-made message is below.
They sign up and list their server
Your link fills in the Referred by field of the sign-up form with your username; they can also type it in themselves. The sign-up then shows in your dashboard as Registered.
Claim $10 once the server qualifies
When the server meets the requirements, send us a claim through the contact page. We check it by hand and arrange the payment with you.
When a referral qualifies
A referred server earns you $10 when all five of these are true.
| Requirement | What we check |
|---|---|
| Signed up through you | They registered through your link, or typed your username into Referred by. It is saved with the new account and cannot be added later. |
| Server listed | The referred account has listed its server on Ranked Private Servers. |
| Vote button on their site | Our vote button HTML or voting panel is on the server's website. The link may carry rel="nofollow". |
| 20 votes | The server has at least 20 counted votes here. Votes go through the usual VPN, proxy and bot checks. |
| Listed for 30 days | The server has stayed listed for at least 30 days since adding the button or panel. |
Checked and paid by hand
Rewards are not paid out automatically. When you claim, we check the requirements ourselves and agree the payment method with you.
Statuses in your dashboard
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Registered | Someone signed up through your link or with your username. Recorded automatically when they register. |
| Qualified | Their server met every requirement. We set this by hand after checking your claim. |
| Paid | We have paid your $10 for this referral. We set this by hand after the payment. |
Your referral link
Every member gets a personal link. Create a free account, or log in, and it shows up right here and in your dashboard.
Rules and fair use
- Open to every member. Players and server owners can both refer, and it costs nothing.
- No self-referrals. A server you own yourself does not qualify, including one listed through a second account of yours.
- One referrer per account. It is saved when the account is created and cannot be added or changed afterwards.
- Real sign-ups and votes only. Every sign-up goes through our captcha and VPN and proxy checks, and only counted votes count towards the 20.
- No cap. Each referred server that qualifies earns $10.
Questions
How do I claim my $10?
Log in and send a message through the contact page with your username, the referred server's name and where our vote button or panel appears on its website. We check the requirements and agree the payment with you.
How long does my link work?
The link itself does not expire. When someone opens it, their browser remembers your referral for 30 days, so they can come back and sign up later on the same browser.
Someone signed up with my link but is not in my dashboard
Check that they kept your username in Referred by, and that they signed up within 30 days on the browser where they opened your link. The dashboard lists sign-ups recorded since 30 September 2026. For an earlier one, name the account in your claim: every account keeps the username of whoever referred it, and we check it by hand.
How do I see how a referred server is doing?
Your dashboard counts everyone who joined through you and what you have earned, and lists the newest ten with whether they have listed a server yet and their status. The server's page here shows its votes, and the vote button or panel is on their own website.
Do I earn anything when a player signs up?
The reward is per server. Players who join through your link do show up in your dashboard, but only a referred server that qualifies earns $10.
