Referral Code Verification Policy

All referral codes published on ReferralVault are verified by the site owner before publication.

1. Operational Verification Workflow

ReferralVault follows a structured 6-step verification process before publishing any listing on the platform:

  1. Code Verification: Referral code is checked by the site owner before publication.
  2. Entity Matching: App and company identity are matched correctly to their canonical brand name.
  3. URL Integrity: Target referral link URL is preserved exactly as supplied without redirect manipulation.
  4. Official Source Research: Official company domain information and platform details are verified independently.
  5. Conservative Field Tagging: Reward amounts and eligibility criteria are only displayed when supported by reliable confirmation, otherwise marked as Not Currently Verified.
  6. Correction Protocol: Outdated or changed information is promptly audited and updated upon user reports or regular checks.

2. Editorial Principles

Our editorial standards are guided by 5 fundamental principles:

  • Accuracy: Prioritize exact, uncorrupted referral codes and verified destination URLs.
  • Transparency: Clearly communicate what is verified vs. what remains unconfirmed.
  • Source Preference: Attribute official brand domains and primary platform documentation.
  • No Invented Rewards: Refuse to publish fabricated bonus claims, false countdowns, or fake reward numbers.
  • Code Verification Before Publication: Perform pre-publication checks on every code before making it visible to users.

3. Independent Field Verification Standard

Verifying a referral code does not automatically guarantee that external promotional terms remain static. ReferralVault evaluates each dimension independently:

  • Referral Code: Verified by site owner before publication.
  • Official Website & Link: Verified against official brand domain destinations.
  • Rewards & Bonuses: Rewards can change over time. Shown as Not Currently Verified when active platform confirmation is unavailable.
  • Eligibility Criteria: Account eligibility rules can change. Shown as Not Currently Verified when unconfirmed.
  • Signup Requirements: KYC, deposit, or trading requirements can change based on platform updates. Shown conservatively when exact workflow is unknown.

4. Verification Status Badges

ReferralVault uses clear, specific trust badges to communicate exact verification status:

Verified Referral Code

Indicates that the text referral code has been checked and confirmed by the site owner before publication.

Verified Referral Link

Used for codeless listings to confirm that the official target referral link destination is verified.

Not Currently Verified

Applied to specific fields (such as reward amounts or bonus terms) when active platform verification is pending or unconfirmed.

Expired Offer

Confirmed that the referral code or program campaign has ended.

5. Reporting Outdated or Changed Information

If you notice an expired code, broken referral link, or updated program terms, please submit a report so our team can update the verification matrix.
