Introducing Refer a Friend: Grow Your Hit List and Earn XP Doing It

New on RallyHub: a personal invite link that brings your mates onto the platform and pays you XP for it. 250 XP when they join, 100 more when they play, plus milestone bonuses. No cap.

By Two brothers in Melbourne, co-founder of RallyHub.

RallyHub is invite-only on purpose. It keeps the place full of real players rather than bots and randoms. But invite-only is only good if getting your actual mates in is easy. Refer a Friend is how you do that, and because growing the player pool helps everyone, we pay you XP for it.

What it is

Refer a Friend gives you a personal invite link. You share it, your mate signs up through it, and RallyHub ties them back to you automatically. Since registration needs an invite anyway, your referral link is the invite. No separate code, no "tell them to mention your name."

How it works

  • Go to your referral page and create an invite link. You can set an expiry (7 days, 30 days, or never) and optionally drop in a friend's email so RallyHub sends it for you.
  • Share it however you like. There are one-tap buttons for WhatsApp, SMS, email, X, and a QR code, or just copy the link.
  • Your mate lands on a personal page that shows your name and photo before the signup form, so it feels like an invite from you, not a cold ad.
  • They sign up, finish their profile, and the credit is yours. Automatically.

What you actually earn

This is the part people want the numbers on, so here they are, no asterisks:

  • 250 XP the moment your friend signs up and completes their profile.
  • 100 XP more when that friend plays and confirms their first match. So a referral who actually starts playing is worth 350 XP.
  • Milestone bonuses on top: an extra 500 XP at three successful referrals, 2,000 XP at ten, and 5,000 XP at twenty-five.
  • And your friend is not empty-handed: they get a 100 XP welcome bonus on day one for joining through your link.
  • There is no cap. Every valid referral pays the full reward.

The guard rails

A few honest limits, because a rewards system with no rules gets gamed:

  • Each link is single-use, so you make a fresh one per person.
  • The signup reward only fires once the friend completes their profile, not on a half-finished account.
  • You cannot refer yourself, and a referral cannot be credited after the fact if someone signed up without your link. The link has to be used during registration.
  • Clicks are de-duplicated so nobody can inflate or sabotage a link by spamming it.

Why it is worth doing beyond the XP

The XP is nice, but the real payoff is that RallyHub gets better the more of your actual tennis circle is on it. Hit invites reach more people. Courtside fills with friends instead of feeling empty. Tournaments and leaderboards run with people you know. Every feature on the platform is worth more when your hitting partners are there too, so referring them is genuinely the highest-leverage thing you can do for your own experience.

There is also a monthly and all-time referral leaderboard, for the kind of player who treats a leaderboard as a personal challenge. You know who you are.

Where to find it

Make your first link at /refer, read the detail on the about page, and check the leaderboard to see who is bringing the most players on. Start with the two or three people you already play with most. Those are the referrals that actually change your week.
