**Direct answer:** Copy puts a URL on your clipboard. A send is a unique friend opening that URL and tapping Get my link. Copying is not a credit. Visiting is not a credit. No cash prize.

## Q: Does copy count?
A: No.

## Q: What counts?
A unique friend opens your /r/ link and taps Get my link.

## Q: Why?
Referral contests die at “share this link.” Farms can fake copies and visits. They cannot fake unique friends completing Get my link unless you pay them, which ViralRefer does not.
