Not just the first one - every renewal, for as long as they stay subscribed. ## Your referral link Run `/ref` to see your personal link: `t.me/taligatebot?start=ref_`. Share it anywhere - Telegram channels, Twitter, group chats, wherever your audience is. When someone opens the bot through that link, they are bound to you on their very first contact. That binding is permanent and works only once per person - so you can't refer yourself, and someone who already has an account can't be rebound to a new referrer. ## Commission rates | Level | Rate | How to qualify | | -------- | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Standard | 20% | Default for everyone | | Partner | 30% | Admin-granted, or automatic once 10 of your invitees have made a real payment | Commission is paid on every real payment - CryptoBot invoice or manual transfer - including renewals. It is not paid on trial periods or on payments made from a referral balance. To put it in concrete terms: if your invitee buys 12 months of Pro ($96 after the 20% period discount), standard commission puts $19.20 on your balance. Partner level brings that to $28.80. Same logic applies to every subsequent renewal. ## What you can do with the balance The balance is in USD, held internally. Two ways to use it: * **Put it toward your own subscription.** When your balance covers the checkout price, an option to pay from balance appears at checkout. Once a few referrals are active, your subscription is effectively free. * **Withdraw in crypto.** You can request a withdrawal once your balance reaches $20. Supported networks: USDT/USDC on TRC20, ERC20, TON, or SOL. Tap Withdraw in `/ref`, pick your network, and provide your address. Withdrawals are approved manually. The amount is reserved when you request it; if the request is rejected for any reason, it returns to your balance. ## Partner status Partner level (30%) is granted by the admin to channels and creators, or kicks in automatically once 10 of your referred accounts have each made at least one real payment. You don't need to apply - the automatic upgrade happens without any action on your part. If you want to discuss a channel partnership before reaching that threshold, see [Support](/support.md). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.taligate.com/referral-program.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
