No-email referral loop

The loop builder shows a referral loop with the email wall on and off. With the wall on, the loop breaks where people drop out at signup. With it off, the ViralRefer loop runs: get a link, send it, a friend taps Get my link, and that friend gets a link too.

What does the No-email referral loop builder do?

It is a visual explainer for anyone designing a referral program. The point is that an email wall is weak anti-cheat, because throwaway inboxes are easy. ViralRefer puts protection in the credit rule instead, counting only unique friends.

How do I use it?

  1. Look at the loop with the email wall on.
  2. Toggle the wall off.
  3. Compare where people drop out in each version.
  4. Read the no-email guide for the full design.

What is an example?

With the wall on, the diagram shows a stop at signup. With it off, a friend goes straight from your link to their own link.

FAQ

Is a no-email loop easier to cheat?

Not if credit requires a unique person's action, checked on the server.

Can I use this for my own product?

Use it as a thinking tool; it does not install anything.

Do I need an account?

No.

Why remove the email wall?

An email wall is weak anti-cheat because throwaway inboxes are easy, and it makes real people drop out at signup. ViralRefer protects the count with the credit rule instead.

What happens after a friend taps Get my link?

The friend becomes one credit for you and gets their own link, so the loop can continue.
