Referrals

What is my @, what does a referral pay, and when?

Checked against the code on

Every account has an @. It is your name on the site and your referral code: anyone who joins through your link is yours, and what they top up pays you, in credits, for as long as they use askr. Since v1.2, 20 September 2026.

Your @
A username account's handle is its @ from the start. An email or wallet account picks one on the profile tab of your account: 3 to 32 letters, digits or underscores, no password needed. A handful of words are reserved (askr, admin, support and the like).
Your link
heyaskr.ai/r/<your @>. It lands on sign-in with your code attached and leaves a cookie for 30 days, so someone who reads about askr today and signs up next week is still yours. First touch wins: a second referral link does not replace the first.
What counts as yours
Any account created while your code is attached, through any door: username, wallet or email. The link is written once, at sign-up, and never rewritten. You cannot refer yourself.
Top-ups
10% of every deposit a referred account makes, in credits, the moment their deposit credits. $50 topped up by someone you referred is 5,000 credits to you. Automatic, once per deposit, and never out of their balance: they are credited in full.
Fees
10% of the platform fee on every request they run, once a platform fee exists. askr charges no fee today, so nothing accrues yet; the moment a fee is introduced this starts on its own. Accrued per run and paid to your balance hourly as one line, from 1 credit.
Ceiling
None. As many people as you bring, for as long as they use askr.
Where to see it
The referral card on your profile: your @, your link, how many joined, and what they have paid you. Each payout is a line in your activity with the reason.

Credits, not cash

A referral pays model usage on askr, which is what a credit already is. It is not money, it cannot be withdrawn, and it is not a share of anything: it is a fixed cut of what the people you brought top up and, later, of the fee on what they run. The full rules are in the terms.

Fair use

  • One @ per account, and it is public: it appears on your link and is how people find you.
  • Referring accounts you control yourself, or accounts made to farm the bonus, is abuse; the bonus is reversed and the accounts closed.
  • A refunded or reversed deposit reverses the bonus it paid.
