Referral, affiliate and promo describe different parts of the route
A referral or affiliate code identifies the MainGame association. Promo code is a common way readers describe a code used while looking for an offer. Those labels do not turn every affiliate benefit into the same promotion or make the advertised $10 available to every account.
MainGame advertises a free $10 promotional balance with no deposit, KYC Level 3 and 5× wagering, subject to availability. Stake's generic welcome documentation separately describes 3.5% rakeback on house edge. Confirm which benefit your account actually has.
Use the route and check the code
Open the MainGame referral route to Stake, confirm the destination is Stake.com and keep MAINGAMECODES ready for the affiliate-code option. This site uses affiliate links; our affiliate disclosure explains that relationship.
Opening a tracked link and having an affiliate code confirmed on an account are not interchangeable evidence. If the association is unclear after signup, ask Stake to confirm it. Keep the exact code in your enquiry so support can distinguish MainGame from any other referral.
The account clock matters more than the link label
Stake documents affiliate-code entry during signup or within 24 hours of account creation, with the post-registration field under Settings → Offers. Past 24 hours, the code cannot be entered. A link called a promo or referral link does not establish an extension.
If you registered with a code and cannot find its welcome offer, Stake directs you to support. That is different from adding a code to an older account. If a different affiliate is already attached, do not assume MAINGAMECODES can replace it; ask Stake to confirm the account's status.
Check the offer separately from the association
Before using promotional credit, confirm MainGame offer availability, the required verification status and the actual wagering and cashout terms. Identity documents should be submitted only on Stake.
