Referral rewards are the most straightforward bonus on the site. You bring a friend who has never played here, that friend registers and deposits, and a credit lands on your account. No code to hunt for, no complicated tiers to climb. What catches people out is the fine print around turnover and duplicate accounts, and that is what this page covers from top to bottom.
What the 9klub referral bonus is worth
Every 9klub account carries one personal invite link. Send it to someone who has never held an account here. Once that person registers through your link, completes the identity check and makes a first deposit of at least RM25, a RM35 credit is added to your account. The amount stays the same whether your friend deposits RM25 or a few hundred ringgit.
Two conditions decide whether that credit turns into money you can withdraw. Both of you must be 18 or above, and the credit has to be played through 14 times. The RM35 arrives as bonus balance, so work out your play in advance. At 14 times turnover, clearing one referral credit means RM490 of qualifying play before a withdrawal request is allowed.
- Per qualifying friend
- RM35 Credit added to your account
- Turnover required
- 14× Before the credit can be withdrawn
- Friend’s first deposit
- RM25 Minimum to trigger the credit
- Payout processing
- 22 min Typical withdrawal time once cleared
The credit is not shared automatically with your friend, and it does not come out of their balance. They keep whatever they deposit and their own play. Treat the referral as a separate reward that sits beside the welcome package, not as a cut of anything they win.
Four steps from invite link to cleared credit
Order matters more than most people expect. Someone who already holds a 9klub account cannot be referred, and a sign-up that skips your link will not be matched to you afterwards, even if you sent the link by hand.
-
1
Copy your invite link
Log in, open the referral panel in your account area and copy the personal URL shown there. It carries your account reference, so the match happens automatically.
-
2
Send it to a new player
Your friend must be 18 or above and must never have opened a 9klub account. Send it privately, not in a blast to people who did not ask.
-
3
They register and deposit
Sign-up, identity check, then a first deposit of RM25 or more by Touch ’n Go eWallet, DuitNow, FPX online banking or bank transfer.
-
4
Play through 14 times
The RM35 drops into bonus balance. Turn it over 14 times on qualifying games and it converts, ready to withdraw.
Ask your friend to open the link fresh and finish the form in one sitting. If they tap through on a shared browser, switch devices halfway, or let the session expire, the tracking can slip. A quick message afterwards to confirm they saw the referral page saves both of you a support chat later.
Need to find the link quickly on your phone? The panel is accessible in the mobile browser after you log in to your 9klub account, and it renders the same way inside the app.
Rules that decide whether your RM35 is paid
Nothing here is hidden, but each line has caused a question at some point. Read the row that applies to your friend before you send the link, not after.
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| New account only | The friend must never have held a 9klub account, in any form or under any email. |
| Minimum first deposit | RM25. Anything below that does not trigger the credit. |
| Identity check | National ID card, passport or driving licence, usually reviewed in about 2 hours. |
| Turnover on the credit | 14× the RM35 before withdrawal, which is RM490 of qualifying play. |
| Age | 18 and above for both accounts, checked during verification. |
| Minimum withdrawal | RM70 per request once the credit has converted. |
| Daily withdrawal ceiling | RM23,000 on a standard account, higher on VIP tiers. |
The turnover number is the one that surprises people. The credit sits in bonus balance from the moment it is added, which means it looks like money on screen but cannot leave the account yet. Plan around that: clear one credit before stacking another, and the maths stays manageable. Full wording lives in the terms and conditions.
When does the RM35 actually reach your balance?
Three things happen in sequence. First your friend’s deposit is confirmed, which usually takes about a minute for eWallet and online banking transfers. Then their identity documents are reviewed, typically within 2 hours. The referral credit is added once both steps are done, and you will see the balance change in your account area.
From there the clock is yours. Until you complete the 14× turnover, the RM35 stays as bonus balance. After it clears, request a withdrawal and the usual processing applies: most payouts land in about 22 minutes, and the minimum per request is RM70. If your cleared balance sits below that, leave it until you have enough.
If the credit has not appeared a day after your friend’s deposit cleared, something in the chain is stuck. The common causes are a deposit under RM25, a registration that happened before the link was clicked, or a verification document still pending.
Referral credit or welcome bonus: which comes first?
They run on separate tracks. Your friend’s welcome package applies to them, and your referral credit applies to you. One does not cancel the other, so a good invite leaves both accounts better off. Here is how the offers sit side by side using the current published figures.
| Offer | What you get | Turnover |
|---|---|---|
| First deposit | 225% up to RM850 on a first deposit of RM25 or more | 14× |
| Reload | 28% on later deposits | 14× |
| Daily cashback | 1.1% back on the day’s play | — |
| Referral | RM35 for each friend who registers through your link and deposits | 14× |
For most players the smart move is to clear the welcome bonus first, because it is worth far more, then treat referral credits as a steady top-up. Details of the larger offers are on the bonus and VIP page.
What the team counts as bonus abuse
The programme is built for real friends bringing real players. These patterns get a referral reversed, and in serious cases the whole account reviewed.
- Referring yourself through a second account, a relative’s details or a spare phone number.
- Several accounts sharing one device, one IP address or one payment instrument.
- Sign-ups with invented names, borrowed documents or recycled identification photos.
- Paying strangers to register, or running paid traffic through click farms.
- Posting the link with promises of guaranteed wins or “free cash”.
- Using scripts or automation to create accounts in batches.
When one of these is confirmed, the referral credit is removed, any winnings generated from it are cancelled, and the linked accounts are suspended pending review. Live chat can explain a decision and tell you what evidence is needed, but the terms are the reference point. If you are unsure whether a specific person qualifies, ask support before you send the link rather than after.
Sharing your link without spamming your contacts
Most referrals happen in ordinary conversation: a friend asks what you play on your commute, or someone at a football watch party wants to try a few rounds. That is the natural moment to send your link, along with a line about the 225% welcome package and the RM25 minimum deposit. People respond to specifics, not to hype.
Group chats work if the group is actually about this. A Malaysian football group where everyone already bets is a reasonable place to mention it once. A family reunion chat is not. Repeated posting in the same thread, tagging people who never replied, or messaging strangers from a scraped list is the behaviour that gets accounts flagged for spam.
If you mostly play on your phone, the 9klub app for Android makes sharing quicker because the link copies straight from the panel. On desktop, the same link works anywhere, including WhatsApp Web, so there is no reason to retype it by hand.
How do you check which friends have joined?
The referral panel lists every invite with a status: link opened, account registered, first deposit received, credit added, turnover in progress. Because matching happens through the link itself, a friend who signs up later without clicking it will not appear in that list, and support cannot attach them to you after the fact.
Give each invite a couple of days before chasing it. A friend who registers but waits on verification will show as pending until the review finishes, which is normally about 2 hours. If the status has not moved in a day, contact live chat with your friend’s username and the date you sent the link. Support runs 24/7 and can trace the entry from your account.

Questions about the referral programme
01Is the RM35 paid once, or for every friend?
Every friend who qualifies adds a separate RM35 credit to your account. Each credit carries its own 14× turnover, so it is easier to clear them one at a time than to stack several and lose track of what is left.
02Does the friend I invite get anything?
Yes. A new player who joins through your link can still claim the standard welcome package: 225% up to RM850 on a first deposit of RM25 or more, with 14× turnover on the bonus amount.
03Can I withdraw the credit straight away?
No. The RM35 lands in bonus balance and needs 14× turnover, which is RM490 of qualifying play, before it converts. Withdrawals after that are usually processed in about 22 minutes, with a RM70 minimum per request.
04My friend deposited but my credit is missing. Why?
Check three things in order: the deposit was at least RM25, the account was registered through your link, and the identity review has finished. Reviews take about 2 hours. If all three are done, live chat can trace the missing entry from your account.
05Can I refer someone who played here before?
No. The programme is only for people who have never held a 9klub account. A returning player who opens a second account to use your link is treated as a duplicate, and both accounts are reviewed.
06Two of us sent the same person a link. Who gets the credit?
The account that the new player actually registers through is the one matched. There is no split and no second payment, so if you both want to invite the same friend, agree between yourselves first.
07How many people can I invite?
The rules focus on quality rather than volume. Every invite has to be a real person aged 18 or above with their own account, documents and payment method. Accounts that look like they were opened in batches are reviewed and usually reversed.
08What happens if I break a programme rule?
The credit is removed, winnings generated from it are cancelled, and the linked accounts may be suspended while the case is reviewed. If you are not sure whether a situation is allowed, ask live chat before you send the link.
