Do byond referrals still exist? I can't find them anywhere. I want to start using them.

I'm pretty certain they still do. Just go to any game you like and hit [link] (it should be right next to favorite) and a referral paragraph explains how it works.

Just to be clear, I get actual money right?

It goes to your BYOND wallet, which can be cashed out to PayPal.

If they become a Byond member you get I believe it's $5 USD 6 months after they get their membership. Note: Doesn't apply if they are gifted their membership.

6 months is a very long time to wait on that.

How does Byond keep track of this? AFAIK, from all my referrals

I'd guess that it works similar to all the other referrals out there. The '?invite=Schnitzelnagler' part allows the server to store an internal link. Some pages (not sure if BYOND does this) even set a cookie with the referral link, for when a person does not sign up instantly, there is still a valid linking possible on the next few visits.

Stops BYOND getting back-charged after paying you out $5, as back-charges are not that uncommon for BYOND. If people didn't steal daddy's credit card and buy themselves a membership, I'm sure the payout would be quicker.
