Referral Program
Playtesters can earn commissions by referring game developers to the platform. You earn 50% of our profit on every purchase a referred company makes — for as long as they remain a customer.
How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”-
Get your referral link — find it on your Referrals dashboard
-
Share it — send your link to game developers who might need playtesting services
-
They sign up — when a developer creates an account through your link, they’re permanently tagged as your referral
-
Earn commissions — every time they purchase playtests or unlock chats, you earn a commission
Referral Links
Section titled “Referral Links”You have two referral links:
- Referral link —
weplaytestgames.com/?ref=YOUR_CODE— directs to the main website with your referral code attached - Hire Me page —
app.weplaytestgames.com/hire?pt=YOUR_ID— a personal page that showcases your playtesting profile. Visitors who sign up from this page are tracked as your referrals
Both links are available on your Referrals dashboard.
Commission Structure
Section titled “Commission Structure”You earn 50% of the platform’s profit on each purchase. Profit is the purchase price minus the playtester payout.
Playtest commissions
Section titled “Playtest commissions”| Duration | Price | Playtester Payout | Profit | Your Commission |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 min | $15 | $5 | $10 | $5.00 |
| 1 hour | $20 | $10 | $10 | $5.00 |
| 2 hours | $35 | $20 | $15 | $7.50 |
| 3 hours | $50 | $30 | $20 | $10.00 |
These are per-slot prices for singleplayer playtests. Multiplayer playtests have higher prices and payouts, but the same 50% of profit commission applies.
Chat commissions
Section titled “Chat commissions”When a referred company unlocks a chat with a playtester ($10), you earn $2.50 (50% of the $5 platform profit).
First-Purchase Discount
Section titled “First-Purchase Discount”You can offer referred companies a discount on their first purchase to attract more referrals. The discount is funded entirely from your commission — the platform and playtester payouts are unaffected.
| Discount | Your First-Purchase Commission | Subsequent Commissions |
|---|---|---|
| 0% | $5.00 | $5.00 |
| 5% | $4.00 | $5.00 |
| 10% | $3.00 | $5.00 |
| 15% | $2.00 | $5.00 |
| 20% | $1.00 | $5.00 |
| 25% | $0.00 | $5.00 |
Commission amounts shown are for a standard 1-hour singleplayer playtest ($20). After the first purchase, you always earn the full commission with no discount applied.
You can change your discount setting at any time from the Referrals dashboard.
YouTube Integration
Section titled “YouTube Integration”When your playtest videos are published to the We Playtest Games YouTube channel, they include a link to your Hire Me page in the description. Game developers who discover you through YouTube and click through to your page are automatically tracked as your referrals.

- Link Clicks — how many times your referral link was clicked (last 30 days)
