• Provide us with the names and email addresses of your friends by completing the "Refer-A-Friend Form".
• We will send an email to your friends (containing your special referral code) and a personalized message from you telling them about the many benefits of TwinSpires.
• We will deposit a $50 cash bonus into your wagering account for each friend* who signs up for TwinSpires using your special referral code provided to them, makes a minimum initial deposit of $50 within 30 days of signing up, and wagers a minimum of $500 in the first 60 days.
• Referrals for the Refer-A-Friend Derby will be counted when "new friend" completes sign-up, enters referral code that was sent to them and successfully deposits $50.
