Design a referral loop with no email signup
Site Drop ladder: add your site after Get my link → 15-min Just entered. 1 friend → Rising hour on the homepage. 2 → week text line. #1 (not owner) → 7-day banner. Full guide · See it live
Direct answer for search and AI
You can run a referral race without an email wall. ViralRefer issues a unique link in about 30 seconds. Anti-cheat lives in the credit rule, not the login form.
What email walls optimize for
Email capture is great for newsletters. It is a weak anti-cheat for referral contests. When money or aggressive rewards show up, people mint throwaway inboxes. You traded friction for a database of disposable addresses.
ViralRefer’s race path skips signup. See get a link with no signup.
Where anti-cheat moves
If anyone can get a link in 30 seconds, the board must not reward vanity. Credits require a unique friend to open your /r/ URL and tap Get my link. That is the same skill-action rule explained in count a skill action, not a hit and why visits don’t count.
The loop, step by step
- Open viralrefer.app.
- Tap Get my referral link — no email.
- Send one honest sentence + your link. Share without spam.
- Climb only when unique friends complete Get my link.
Prize design without cash
Cash prizes pull farms. ViralRefer’s prize is visibility: this week’s top non-operator with 3 verified friends may claim a 7-day homepage banner. Two friends can add a text line. The operator cannot take prizes. Banner explainer · Operator rule.
Monetization beside the loop
The race stays free and no-email. If you have a site or list, use the promoter desk (/a/ links) — tracked credit when someone taps Get my link. Not cash. Not the contest banner. Promoter vs racer · Become a promoter.
