What Is a Referral Contest?

A referral contest rewards users for inviting others to enter. More shares = more chances to win. Click to explore how referral contests drive viral traffic and leads.

A referral contest rewards participants for referring others to your giveaway. Each user receives a unique referral link they can share via email, social, or direct message. When a new entrant joins through that link, the referrer gets bonus entries.

This format is ideal for rapid list growth, social media engagement, and driving new traffic to your campaign. Gleam makes this easy to manage with built-in referral tracking tools and secure fraud detection.

You can create your first referral contest in minutes using Gleam’s viral giveaway templates.
