Novig Refer-a-Friend: Earn up to $250 in October 2026

Here's what I learned about the Novig refer-a-friend program from first-hand research:

Before you take advantage of Novig's refer-a-friend program, go over our brief checklist for this prediction market promo:

You:

• ✅ Is your account in good standing? You can't share your referral link if your account is suspended or under an open compliance review.
• ✅ Have you referred fewer than 5 people already? Once you hit 5 referrals with credits issued or pending, you're done for the life of the promotion.
• ✅ Are you close to your trading requirement? You'll need 5 completed trades totaling at least $50 before you can earn for referring friends to Novig.

Your friend:

• ✅ Are they new to Novig? Each person can only be a Referred Member once, and self-referrals or shared-household accounts will get flagged.
• ✅ Will they deposit at least $10? Your friend must deposit at least $10 to unlock the $50 bonus for you both.
• ✅ Will they sign up through your link specifically? There's no referral code to enter manually here — the link itself is what ties the referral to you.
• ✅ Is your friend 21+? Unlike most other prediction markets that are 18+, Novig is 21+. Make sure your friend is at least 21 before trying to refer them.

When I tried referring a friend to Novig for the first time, I thought I did everything right but wasn't rewarded. It turns out that I only made four trades totaling $50+, so I had to make one more trade to qualify. I made the additional trade within 30 days of my friend qualifying, so I was still able to get credit for referring them.

Don't make the same mistake I did — be patient and meet your trading requirements before doing free marketing for Novig.

I tested the full referral flow on Novig myself, from the initial signup through unlocking my own credits.

Here's how to refer friends to Novig and earn $50 bonuses:

If you haven't signed up for Novig yet, do so using Novig promo code ACTION. This will get you an extra $50 bonus on top of any friends you refer.

The refer-a-friend program requires you to make at least 5 trades totaling $50+ to qualify, so complete these initial trades at your own pace.

Go to the Referral page on the Novig home screen to find your unique link.

Send that link directly to friends through text or social media.

Unlike some competitors, Novig doesn't have users refer friends via a referral code. For you to get credit, your friend must sign up via your link.

Your friend needs to complete a few steps on their end before either of you sees a reward.

• They sign up through your referral link.
• They create and verify their own Novig account and link a payment method.
• They deposit at least $10, which triggers their $50 in Trade Credits for both parties.

To have your five $10 Referral Credits issued, you need to have already completed 5 trades totaling $50+ and deposited at least $10 by the time your friend qualifies.

If you've hit those marks, your credits post right away. If you haven't, Novig holds your credits as pending for 30 days from the date your friend qualifies, giving you a window to catch up before they're forfeited for good.

Once your credits are issued, your 7-day countdown to use them starts immediately.

Here's what to know once your credits are issued:

• Five $10 credits. Your $50 reward comes as five separate $10 credits.
• $0.01–$0.60 contracts only. Credits can only be applied to event contracts priced $0.01 to $0.60.
• 7-day expiration. You must use your $50 bonus within seven days of it hitting your account.
• Not withdrawable directly. Credits themselves can't be cashed out.
• Winnings are withdrawable. Once you've traded through the credit, the proceeds from that credit become withdrawable.
• No rollover. Unused credit value is forfeited, not carried to your next trade.

I tried it myself, and it's true that referral credits only apply to event contracts priced $0.01–$0.60. If an event contract is priced at $0.61-$0.99, you must use your own money to buy it rather than a referral credit.

Novig's referral program is an industry standard — if you want to take advantage of referral programs at other prediction markets, check out the Kalshi refer-a-friend and Polymarket refer-a-friend programs.

If you're having issues with the Novig refer-a-friend program, I provide troubleshooting tips below:

• Your friend already has an account. Each person can only be a Referred Member once, and existing users don't qualify.
• The accounts share an owner or household. Novig's anti-abuse rules disqualify referrals where the referring and referred accounts share a common identity, beneficial owner, or household.
• You haven't hit your trading requirement. A deposit alone doesn't unlock your Referral Credits — you still need 5 completed trades and $50 at risk.
• You missed the 30-day pending window. If you don't meet the trading requirement within 30 days of your friend signing up via your link and depositing $10, the referral credits are gone permanently.
• You've already referred 5 people. Novig caps the program at 5 qualifying referrals per account.
• Your credits expired. Referral Credits last just 7 days from issuance, so unused credits disappear quickly if you don't trade with them.

If you think all the refer-a-friend requirements were met and you didn't get your reward, contact 24/7 support via live chat or the support@novig.com email. As our Novig review discusses, the app's customer support team is helpful with resolving issues such as those related to the refer-a-friend program.

If your friends aren't on Novig yet, you can sign up via our links and register with code ACTION.

Signing up through Action Network gets you set up on Novig without waiting on a friend's invite, and you can start working toward your own eligibility to refer others right away.

Even when trading with bonus money at Novig, you should always prioritize responsible trading:

• Only trade with money you can afford to use.
• Know that Referral Credits function as buying power rather than guaranteed winnings.
• Talk to your friends about trading on Novig for fun instead of a guaranteed way to make money.
