How to earn BoTik Credits with referrals

BoTik Credits pay for avatars, sticker packs and AI lines. How referrals earn them, what each one is worth, and the anti-fraud rules worth knowing.

BoTik Credits are the in-app currency that pays for anything BoTik has to generate on a server: avatars, sticker packs, AI video and the AI lines your Stream Deck can speak. 100 credits is one dollar.

Two different things called credits

BoTik Credits are the wallet described here. ElevenLabs character credits are your quota with ElevenLabs, shown on the Go Live page, and they have nothing to do with each other. Running out of one does not affect the other.

The four ways to get credits

Where credits come from

Your wallet

Referrals

10 or 100 per person

Premium

500 every month

Credit packs

bought with PayPal

Referrals are the only one of those that costs you nothing, and they are the focus of this guide.

How referrals pay out

Both halves matter. The three free Premium days mean your invite is worth something to the person receiving it, which is the difference between a referral link people use and one they ignore.

  1. Open Referrals and copy your link.

    It is your normal sign-up URL with your referral code attached, so it works anywhere a link works.

  2. Share it where the context makes sense.

    A pinned comment on a stream about your voice setup converts far better than a bare link in a bio.

  3. Watch the history list.

    Each referral shows as awaiting verification, under review, signed up, or upgraded to Premium — so you can see exactly where a payout is.

Why a referral can sit in “awaiting verification”

Referral credits are only granted once the new account verifies its email. That is deliberate: without it, the whole system is a machine for generating free credits out of throwaway addresses.

  • Disposable email domains are blocked outright.
  • you+1@, you+2@ style aliases are treated as the same address.
  • Several sign-ups from one IP address are flagged for a human to look at.
  • There is a lifetime cap of 500 referrals per account.

Note

A referral marked "under review" is not a rejection. It means something tripped a heuristic and a person will look at it — a genuine one clears.

What credits buy

So ten verified referrals is an avatar. One person upgrading to Premium is two and a half sticker packs. Anything that fails to generate is refunded automatically, and the transaction list shows every movement in and out.

Tip

If you are already paying for Premium, the 500 monthly credits arrive whether you use them or not. That is twelve avatars a year of budget sitting there — spend it on a proper set of avatars and stickers rather than letting it accumulate.
