🚀 Referral Relaunch: Better Rewards, Bigger Incentives & a Limited-Time Discount

Referrals have been part of Footium for a while now, and while the rewards were decent, we knew we could do better. We wanted referring a mate to feel like a genuine win for both sides, not just a nice bonus for you but a proper head start for them too.

So we've gone back and rebuilt a lot of it. Better rewards for you, a much stronger welcome package for your mate & new milestones to chase throughout your Footium journey. Also for the first time ever to sweeten the deal, a limited-time discount that makes this weekend the best time to get someone into the game.

💸 $64.99 Club + 17 Player Bundle: This Weekend Only

From today (Thursday 2nd April) through Monday 6th April, the Club + 17 Player Bundle is $64.99. This is the first time we've deliberately dropped the price and put a proper window around it.

If you've got a mate who's been on the fence, this is the nudge. And if you're a caretaker who's been playing and enjoying the game this season, there won't be a better time to upgrade than right now.

The discount ends Monday.

🎁 What Your Referred Friend Gets

Previously, referred friends received 3 Common Players and 5 Coaching Sessions. It was a nice bonus, but we wanted to give new managers more of a boost, especially now that FC is part of the game.

Every manager who joins through a referral link and picks up the Club + 17 Player Bundle now receives:

• 5x Common Players
• 2x Bronze Players
• 100,000 FC
• 5 Coaching Sessions

That's two extra Common Players, two Bronze Players and 100,000 FC on top of the old package. For context, 100,000 FC is a serious head start on stadium upgrades in a system where every bit of capacity matters for home match earnings.

Your mate isn't just getting a link. They're getting a genuine advantage over signing up without one!

💰 What You Get for Referring

Every time someone uses your referral link and buys the Club + 17 Player Bundle, you receive:

• 20% USDC cashback on their purchase
• 200,000 FC per referral

That's real money back in USDC, plus a massive FC injection every single time. Refer three mates this weekend and you're looking at nearly $40 in USDC cashback plus 600,000 FC to dump into your stadium. Refer five and you're approaching a million FC on top of the cash.

🪜 The New Referral Milestone Ladder

We've kept every existing milestone exactly where it was, nobody loses any progress, but we've filled in the gaps with new FC and player rewards so there's always something close to chase. The ladder now has 17 tiers instead of 9.

Whatever your current count, there's probably a new reward sitting just one or two referrals away. If you've already passed any of the new milestones we've added, we'll backdate those rewards to you ASAP!

Here’s the updated ladder:

🏆 NEW: The Gaffer's League

This is a first for Footium.

Every caretaker manager who upgrades (or already has) to the Club + 17 Player Bundle this season is being placed into into The Gaffer's League, a bespoke mini league just for this season's converts. At the end of the season, the winner receives a Young Rare Player.

To put that in perspective: if a Young Rare appeared in your academy (which is already a low probability event), you'd be paying $180+ just to sign them. The winner of this league gets one for free!

Right now, there are only 10 managers in the league… this is a genuine shot at one of the most valuable assets in the game!

✍️ Season 17 Bonus: Custom Club Lore

Back again for Season 17: refer 3+ managers who convert to the Club + 17 Player Bundle and you can update your club's lore and description in-game.

This is a seasonal bonus we've run before and it's one of the most popular rewards we offer. Your club's identity, written by you, visible to everyone. It's only available this season, and only for managers who hit 3+ conversions. This is the last time we will run the lore upgrade as a bonus for the foreseeable future as we look to freshen up the bonuses in the next few seasons!

🔗 How It Works

1. Head to your referral page (tap the gift icon in the top bar, it's always there)
2. Grab your link & send it to your mate (group chats, DMs, wherever)
3. They sign up through your link and grab a Club + 17 Player Bundle at $64.99 this weekend
4. You get 20% USDC cashback + 200,000 FC, they get the welcome package above
5. They're automatically entered into The Gaffer's League to compete for a rare player
6. You progress along the milestone ladder

⏰ The Clock's Ticking

The $64.99 price is live now and runs through Monday. After that, the bundle goes back to it’s normal price.

The referral rewards and milestone ladder are permanent improvements, they're here to stay. But the discount window and the mini league are this season only.

If you've been meaning to get a mate into Footium, there has genuinely never been a better time.

Go send that link.
