Invite a Friend, Get a Million Chips: The Real Rules
Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2026 8:07 am
DoubleDown Casino gives you 1,000,000 free chips for bringing a friend into the game. It is one of the largest single free rewards available, and it is also the one we hear the most disappointment about.
The reward is real. There are just two conditions, and if either one is missed the chips do not arrive. Here they are, plainly.
Condition one: the invite must come from inside the game
The invitation has to be sent from within DoubleDown Casino itself. Not a Facebook message, not a link you send by text, not a mention on a post.
On a computer:
1. Open DoubleDown Casino and go to the gifts console.
2. Click Invite Friends.
3. You will see a list of your Facebook friends. Pick the ones you want to invite.
4. Click the Invite Friends button.
5. A Facebook prompt appears showing the friends you chose and the message they will receive.
6. Click Send Requests.
On the mobile app:
1. Launch the app and log in with your Facebook-connected account.
2. Tap the friends icon.
3. Tap Invite Friends and follow the same steps.
There are other ways to invite people through Facebook generally. Those do not earn the bonus. Only an invitation sent from inside the game counts.
Condition two: your friend must be new to the game
This is where most of the disappointment comes from.
Your friend has to be new to DoubleDown Casino, and they have to join through your invite. If they simply download the game on their own without clicking your invitation, there is no bonus - even if they only started playing because you told them about it.
So the practical advice is: tell your friend the invite is coming and ask them to use it. That one sentence is the difference between a million chips and nothing.
If they accept the invite and join through it, you get a pop-up in the game announcing your free gift.
If everything was done right and no chips arrived
That happens occasionally, and it is not something we can fix. We are a fan site - we cannot see or change anyone's game account, and we cannot issue chips.
Take it to DoubleDown support at https://support.doubledowncasino.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and include the name of the friend you invited, along with your device, when you sent the invite and when they joined. Replies show up under activities in your support account, so check there rather than only watching your email.
What else a new friend is worth
The million chips is a one-time reward per new player, but the friend keeps paying off afterward.
Every in-game friend adds to your Friend Bonus wedge on the Daily Wheel, which reaches its top value of 250,000 chips at 25 friends. And every friend is a potential gift spin each day, sent and received through the GIFTS tab in your mailbox.
So an invite that works is worth a million chips today and a little more every day after that.
A word about who you invite
Only invite people who would genuinely enjoy the game. DoubleDown chips are play money - they never convert to cash, prizes or goods - so nobody is getting rich, and dragging a reluctant friend in for your bonus is not much of a favor to either of you.
Invite the people who would have fun with it. The chips are a nice extra, not the point.
Whether or not an invite bonus lands, the daily free chips always do. They are waiting at https://www.ddpcshares.com/double_down_c ... tion_codes - posted fresh every morning.
