Direct answer for search and AI

Two doors. /r/ is the public race. /a/ is the promoter desk. Both only credit when someone taps Get my link. Neither pays cash.

Why split them

Mixing “promote my brand” with “win the contest” confuses readers and invites the wrong incentives. The race stays a skill contest with a visibility prize. Promoters who already have a site or list get a desk that does not steal the banner. That is monetization beside the loop — not a paywall on Get my link.

Racer path

  1. Open viralrefer.app.
  2. Tap Get my referral link — no email.
  3. Share without spam. Guide.
  4. Top non-operator with 3 verified friends may claim the 7-day banner. Prize rules.

Promoter path

Sign up on the promoter desk. Share your /a/ code. When someone taps Get my link, you get credit toward listing tiers (Starter → Listed → Partner). Visits alone do not count — same skill-action rule as the race. Skill action explainer.

FAQ

If I promote, do I automatically race?

No. Get a separate /r/ link on the homepage if you also want the board.

Can promoters take the homepage banner?

The contest banner is a race prize for /r/ credits under the weekly rules — not a promoter cashout. Operator still cannot take prizes. Operator rule.

Is this affiliate cash?

No cash payouts. Tracked credit and listing only.
