*In my opinion, the most important metric to keep track of is the number of new Summoner's Spellbooks purchased as this reflects the true number of new players entering into the game.*

![My Referral Program.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/kuhnchun/23vhApDLB7im8K6zeZuu4YYqfYU1wGqqG8VSfA4t7Pa5uQ7TrkUDetd9MRrAriLrCNd2K.png)

While Splinterlands does have a referral program, it only benefits the referrer and not the referee. Therefore, it is up to us (the existing players) to create our own referral program to help new players enter into the game. I've outlined below how my custom referral program works:  
- Sign up for Splinterlands through my referral link [here](https://splinterlands.com?ref=kuhnchun).
- Once you buy the **Summoner's Spellbook**, I will receive 500 credits ($0.50) which I will use to buy DEC, cards, or both to help you start your Splinterlands journey.
- All you need to do is comment below the IGN you used to sign up with. Once I have verified it, I will reach out to see what you would like to spend your $0.50 on and then send it over.
