Referral Program Explained

· 3 min read

Earn 10% of every friend's subscription as account credit. No cap, no expiration. Share your referral code and save on your own servers.

Earn credits by referring friends to WDC GameGrid. When someone signs up using your unique referral code and becomes a paying subscriber, you receive 10% of their subscription value as account credit — automatically, with no cap on how much you can earn.

How It Works

  1. Find your referral code — Log in to your WDC GameGrid dashboard and navigate to your account settings. Your unique referral code is displayed prominently on the referral panel.
  2. Share your code — Send your referral code to friends, post it on social media, or share it in gaming communities and Discord servers.
  3. They subscribe — When someone creates an account using your code and purchases a server subscription, the referral is tracked automatically.
  4. You earn credit — You receive 10% of their subscription value as account credit, which can be used toward any GameGrid service — server subscriptions, upgrades, or add-ons.

What Can Credit Be Used For?

Account credit from referrals can be applied to:

  • New game server subscriptions
  • Server upgrades (more RAM, more slots, better hardware)
  • Additional services and add-ons
  • Any future GameGrid purchase

There is no expiration on referral credit and no cap on how much you can earn. The more friends you refer, the more credit you accumulate.

Tips for Maximizing Referrals

  • Share in relevant communities — Post your code in game-specific subreddits, Discord servers, and Facebook groups where players are looking for hosting.
  • Explain the benefits — Let people know about our instant deployment, automatic backups, DDoS protection, and full control panel.
  • Help them get started — Offer to help your referrals set up their first server. A smooth first experience means they're more likely to stay subscribed.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I receive my credit?
Credit is applied to your account once the referred subscriber's payment is processed and the refund window (if any) has passed.

Can I refer someone who already has an account?
No — referrals only apply to new accounts that use your code at signup.

What if my friend cancels?
You keep the credit you already earned. Referral credit is not clawed back if a subscription is cancelled.
