Gamdom referral codes: what they do and the 6-hour rule
A referral code decides who gets credited for your sign-up and unlocks a first-week rakeback boost, but you only get one shot at adding it.
A Gamdom referral (affiliate) code links your account to whoever referred you and gives 15% instant rakeback for your first week. Ours is jaketakesoff. You can add one at sign-up or within 6 hours of registering, and once it's set it can't be changed.
On Gamdom, "referral code" and "affiliate code" mean the same thing: a code that ties your new account to whoever referred you, usually a streamer or a site like this one. It's different from a promo code, and the rules for adding one are stricter than most people expect.

The rules, in short
How to add a referral code
The easiest route is signing up through a referral link, which applies the code for you. Otherwise, enter the code during registration if the field is shown.
Within 6 hours of registering, open Rewards, go to Special Rewards and click Activate.
Enter the code exactly. There's no second attempt once it's activated.
Confirm the code on your account before you deposit. The rakeback boost then applies to your wagers for the first week.
Referral code vs. promo code
These get mixed up constantly, including on other code sites. On Gamdom they're two separate systems. A referral (affiliate) code is set once per account, credits a partner, and unlocks the first-week rakeback boost. A promo code is a one-off reward, like free spins or a balance drop, that you redeem in the Redeem section. Promo codes are usually shared by streamers, on Discord or on Gamdom's social channels, each can be claimed once per account, and some need a deposit or verification first. You can have one referral code and still redeem promo codes later.
For how the rakeback itself is paid and how the VIP ladder works after week one, see our Gamdom promo code and bonus guide.
Why every code gives the same 15%
Code sites often advertise "exclusive" Gamdom codes with bigger numbers. Gamdom's own help center says the 15% first-week rakeback boost comes with any affiliate code. Some creators add their own extras, like promo code drops or reloads for their community, so it's worth checking what a specific partner actually offers before you pick. Headline figures like "up to 60% rakeback" usually describe the top of the VIP ladder, not what a new account gets.
Referring others: Gamdom's affiliate program
Any player can become an affiliate. Gamdom's help center says you create your own code and link in the Affiliate section, share it, and earn a percentage of the revenue from players who sign up and play through it. You need to have made a deposit before you start earning, earnings are generally calculated once a day, and a dashboard shows clicks, sign-ups and deposits. Gamdom's marketing team sets the commission rates. Codes use Latin letters only and can't be changed after you create them.
Rakeback returns part of the house edge you've already paid. It doesn't change the odds, and a boost is never a reason to wager more than you planned. Our responsible gambling page lists free support if you need it.
