Claim Your Gold Launches 'You've Been Drafted', the Platform's First Personalised Referral Landing Experience
Claim Your Gold today launched "You've Been Drafted", a personalised referral landing page system that gives every referral link its own context-aware experience, tailored to the specific hunter who shared it and the crew they belong to.
A referral link shared on Telegram is no longer a generic sign-up URL. It is a live document: one that names the person who sent it, shows the prize pool their crew is competing for, displays where that person ranks on the leaderboard this week, and tells the recipient what joining today would be worth.
What the Page Shows
Each landing page at claimyour.gold/join/[code] is generated server-side with live data from the referrer's crew and the active weekly bounty.
The referrer, named. The page opens with the referrer's username and a direct statement: "[Name] drafted you." Not "a hunter invited you." Not "someone shared a link." The specific person. If the referrer belongs to a crew, the crew's name appears alongside, grounding the invitation in a specific social context.
The crew avatar. A gold-gradient avatar built from the crew's name initials appears at the top of the card, giving the crew visual identity before the new hunter has joined it and establishing that this is an invitation into something specific, not a generic platform sign-up.
The live prize pool. If the crew has an active bounty, the current prize pool appears prominently, updated in real time, denominated in Flashy Gold, with a live countdown to the week's close. A hunter who visits on Wednesday sees the pool as it stands on Wednesday: a number that may be larger on Thursday.
The referrer's leaderboard rank. The page shows where the referrer currently stands among the crew's recruiters. If they are ranked first, the page invites the new hunter to help them hold that position. If they are ranked second or third, the page frames the visitor's activation as the action that could push them to the top. If the referrer has no recruits yet this week, the page positions the visitor as their first and frames that as an immediate path to the lead.
The welcome bonus. Every new hunter who activates through a referral link receives 1 Flashy Gold the moment their account is confirmed. The bonus is shown prominently and credited automatically, with no code required and no action beyond signing up.
Registration with Deep-Link Return
The registration CTA routes to the platform's standard sign-in flow with a returnTo parameter that encodes the joining hunter's destination: the crew's network page, pre-populated with the crew identifier. When the new hunter completes sign-up, the platform redirects them directly to the crew join screen rather than a generic dashboard. The crew they were drafted into is the first thing they see after creating their account, and joining it takes one tap.
That matters because the gap between "new account created" and "crew member activated" is where most referral funnels lose conversions. The deep-link returnTo removes every navigation step between sign-up and activation.
Security: Open Redirect Prevention
The returnTo parameter is validated server-side on every use. Only paths beginning with /portal/ and under 512 characters are accepted. Any other value, including external URLs, protocol-relative paths, or obfuscated redirects, is rejected silently and the user routes to the standard portal dashboard. The personalised referral system cannot be used as an open redirect against users who follow a shared link.
Handling Invalid Codes Gracefully
Not every referral code resolves to an active context. Codes expire, hunters leave crews, and links get reshared beyond their intended audience. Invalid or expired codes resolve to a clear, neutral page that acknowledges the link is no longer valid and offers a direct path to sign in, rather than a 404 error. Every visitor gets the same care regardless of which link brought them there.
