New system offers unlimited earning potential for qualified player referrals.
SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2026 / Americas Cardroom today announced the launch of The Side Hustle, a new Refer-A-Friend program that rewards players with cash payouts for referring new users to the platform.
The program officially launches today, following a successful beta testing period.
The Side Hustle is designed to support player-driven growth through a structured referral system featuring milestone-based rewards and unlimited earning opportunities.
Players can participate by sharing a personalized referral link directly from their Americas Cardroom account. To qualify, referred players must be new to the Winning Poker Network, deposit at least $25, and generate $25 in rake.
The program begins with a $50 payout for a player’s first successful referral and increases through transparent reward tiers. Players who reach 100 qualified referrals unlock “Pro Status,” which includes a $125 payout for every additional qualified referral and no earning cap.
“The response during beta exceeded expectations and showed us players are genuinely excited about the new referral program,” said an Americas Cardroom representative. “The Side Hustle gives players a simple and rewarding way to earn real cash while helping grow the game.”
Players are encouraged to get started with The Side Hustle through their Americas Cardroom accounts and begin earning rewards through milestone achievements.
