Chapter 06 · Referral code
Ludo referral code: invite credits, lifetime commission and the payout cycle.
A referral code turns your friends into a small recurring earning stream on most Indian apps. You earn a flat sign-up bonus per referee, plus a lifetime commission on their rake.

Why the lifetime commission matters
The flat bonus is the smallest line
A 50 rupee sign-up bonus is the smallest line on the referral page. The lifetime commission on the referee rake is the larger number over time.
If your referee joins the 1v1 lobbies, your commission is small. If they join the multi-round tournaments, the commission can be substantial. Read the rake lines.
The payout cycle is the catch
Most apps pay referral commission weekly or monthly, with a minimum payout threshold. If the threshold is high, small referees do not pay out as expected.
Check the minimum payout threshold before you invite. A 500 rupee threshold on a 5 percent commission means you need about 10,000 rupees of referee rake to clear.

Where this comes from
Bonus percentages, commission rates and payout cycles were drawn from three Indian apps' referral pages as of August 2026, plus the cash-desk pages for each. The 5 to 15 percent lifetime commission is the most common range; a few apps run 20 percent on the first 30 days. Read the card before you invite.
