Affiliate & sponsorship program

Earn commission in gems when someone makes a purchase using your BOXED affiliate code. Learn how to create a code, how the 1% to 6% commission tiers work, and the requirements for claiming your earnings.

The BOXED affiliate program lets you earn commission by bringing new members to the platform. You create a personal affiliate code, share your referral link, and earn commission in gems whenever someone makes a purchase using your code. Everything you have earned, and what you need to do next, is shown in your affiliate dashboard.

Summary

  • Create an affiliate code of between 3 and 20 characters.

  • Share your link in the format boxed.gg/?r=CODE, replacing CODE with your own code.

  • Commission is earned in gems, on purchases made using your code. It is not earned when a referee simply plays or is active on the site.

  • Commission runs on tiers from 1% up to 6%. Your current tier is shown in your dashboard.

  • You need at least 3 unique referees before you can claim your earnings.

  • Your dashboard is the single source of truth for your tier, your referee count, and your accrued earnings.

Setting up your affiliate code

  1. Open the affiliate section of your BOXED account.

  2. Enter the code you want. Codes must be between 3 and 20 characters.

  3. Confirm it. Codes are unique across BOXED, so if the one you want is taken you will need to pick another.

  4. Your referral link is then boxed.gg/?r=CODE with your code in place of CODE.

Pick something short and memorable. People often type a referral link by hand rather than clicking it, and a shorter code means fewer mistakes.

How to share your link

Anyone who visits boxed.gg/?r=YOURCODE and creates an account is attributed to you. Common places members share their link include streams, video descriptions, community servers, and social posts. A few practical points:

  • Use the full link, including the ?r= part. Sharing just your code without the link means the referral may not attribute unless the new member enters the code manually at sign-up.

  • Share it where it is welcome. Posting your link where it is not allowed, spamming it, or misrepresenting BOXED can result in your affiliate access being removed.

  • Referrals must be real, separate people. Creating extra accounts to refer yourself is not permitted and is covered by the one-account-per-person rule in Account policies.

What earns you commission

Commission is earned in gems, and it is triggered by a purchase made using your code. When someone who signed up through your referral link buys, a percentage of that purchase is credited to your affiliate dashboard as gems. Time spent on the site, box opens, and general activity do not on their own generate commission.

Because commission comes from purchases, a small number of referees who buy can earn you more than a large number who never do. Your dashboard shows exactly what has accrued and when.

Commission tiers

The percentage you earn on those purchases is tiered, running from 1% at the entry tier up to 6% at the top tier. The higher your tier, the larger the percentage of each qualifying purchase you receive in gems.

Your current tier, the rate attached to it, and your progress toward the next tier are all displayed in your affiliate dashboard. Because tiers can move over time, the dashboard is the accurate view at any given moment rather than a fixed figure to remember.

Claiming your earnings

Commission accrues automatically in your affiliate dashboard as purchases are made using your code. To claim it, you need to have referred at least 3 unique referees.

If your claim button is unavailable, the usual reason is that you have not yet reached 3 unique referees. Your dashboard shows both your current referee count and the requirement, so you can see exactly how far off you are. Earnings that have already accrued are not lost while you are below the threshold; they stay in your dashboard and become claimable once you meet the requirement.

Each referee counts once. Three separate people who each sign up through your link count as 3; one person signing up repeatedly does not, and duplicate accounts are removed rather than counted.

Sponsorships

Alongside the standard affiliate program, BOXED works with content creators on sponsorship arrangements. These are agreed case by case rather than being self-serve, so if you produce content and want to be considered, please ask to speak to a human and our team will look into it. The affiliate program itself is open to everyone and does not require any approval to start.

Troubleshooting

My code will not save

Check that it is between 3 and 20 characters. If it is the right length and still will not save, the code is most likely already taken by another member, so try a variation.

Someone signed up but does not show as my referee

Attribution happens at sign-up through the referral link. If they created their account without using your link first, the referral will not attribute retrospectively. Also check the dashboard rather than counting manually, since it can take a short time for a new sign-up to appear. If someone definitely used your link and is still not showing after that, please ask to speak to a human and our team will look into it.

My referees are active but my earnings have not moved

Commission is generated by purchases made with your code rather than by activity, so a referee who is playing but has not purchased will not move your earnings. Your dashboard lists what has accrued, and if you can see a purchase that you believe should have credited and has not, please ask to speak to a human and our team will look into it.

I cannot claim yet

You need at least 3 unique referees before claiming becomes available. Your accrued commission stays in your dashboard in the meantime and becomes claimable as soon as you meet the requirement.

Common questions

How do I earn as a BOXED affiliate?

You earn as a BOXED affiliate by sharing your referral link, boxed.gg/?r=YOURCODE, and receiving a commission in gems when someone makes a purchase using your code. Commission accrues automatically in your affiliate dashboard.

Is commission paid in gems or in cash?

Affiliate commission is paid in gems. It is credited to your affiliate dashboard as gems and becomes claimable once you have at least 3 unique referees.

Do I earn commission when my referees play?

No, you do not earn commission when your referees play. Commission is earned in gems on purchases made using your code, so a referee has to buy for anything to accrue to your dashboard.

How long can my affiliate code be?

Your affiliate code must be between 3 and 20 characters long, and it has to be unique across BOXED, so a code someone else already has will not be available.

What is my referral link?

Your referral link is boxed.gg/?r=CODE, with your own affiliate code in place of CODE. Anyone who creates an account after visiting that link is attributed to you.

How much commission do affiliates earn?

Affiliate commission is tiered from 1% at the entry tier up to 6% at the top tier, applied in gems to purchases made using your code. Your current tier and rate are shown in your affiliate dashboard.

Why can't I claim my affiliate earnings yet?

You cannot claim your affiliate earnings until you have at least 3 unique referees. Any commission you have already accrued is held in your dashboard and becomes claimable as soon as you reach that threshold.

Where do I see my earnings and my tier?

Your earnings, your current commission tier, your referee count, and your progress toward the next tier are all shown in your affiliate dashboard in your BOXED account.

Can I refer myself with a second account?

No, you cannot refer yourself. BOXED allows one account per person, and duplicate accounts are removed rather than counted toward your referee total. See the Account policies article for the full rule.

Is the affiliate program the same as a sponsorship?

No, the affiliate program and a sponsorship are separate. The affiliate program is open to every member and needs no approval, while sponsorships for content creators are arranged individually. If you would like to be considered for a sponsorship, please ask to speak to a human and our team will look into it.
