Earn IF GoldPoints to play Games and Access Special Features

You can earn IF Gold Points through referrals (100 IF GoldPoints for each new member you refer). Also, you can earn more points by starting new topics.

For example: Each new topic you start will earn you 5 IF GoldPoints instead of the 2 IF GoldPoints for a simple reply.

Every reply in your topic earns 1 extra IF GoldPoint automatically for each reply. If you start a new topic and get 100 replies, you will earn 105 IF GoldPoints in total. Therefore, people who start new topics and have many replies will earn more IF GoldPoints compared to someone who only replies and doesn't start new topics. Here's a quick guide to the IF GoldPoints system: Refer a new member:

Earn 100 IF GoldPoints for each new member you refer. eg. Ask 5 friends to join and you will earn 500 IF GoldPoints.

Post a new topic: Earn 5 IF GoldPoints Reply or Reply w Quote: Earn 2 IF GoldPoints If you post a new topic, you will earn 1 IF GoldPoint automatically for each reply in your thread. Eg. Post a new topic which gets 100 replies. You will earn 105 IF GoldPoints in total. 100 points for each reply and 5 points for posting the new topic.
