Bonuses and Top-Up Promotions
In PromoPilot, there are two different mechanisms that top up the balance without payment: bonuses for actions in the system and promotions during top-ups. They work differently, and it is important not to confuse them — the rules for accrual and limitations are their own.
Two Mechanisms, Not One
| Bonuses for Actions | Top-Up Promotions | |
|---|---|---|
| For What | First launch, first top-up, login streaks, invited friends, installing the app and the extension, reviews and cases, monthly cashback | For the top-up itself during the promotion period |
| How Calculated | Fixed amount for each achievement | Multiplier for the top-up amount |
| Limitation | Bonus quota of the account (cashback, login streaks, rewards for invitations and reviews are not counted) | Once per client within one promotion |
| Where to View | “Bonuses” section in the cabinet | Promotion banner and “Balance” page |
How the Bonus Quota Works
Bonuses for actions are limited by a total ceiling that grows with real top-ups. A new account has access to a starting amount without a single payment, and then each dollar of a real top-up opens a dollar of bonus capacity. This linkage removes the sense of farming bonuses from empty accounts and does not hinder active clients: the more you actually pay, the higher your ceiling.
In the “Bonuses” section, you can see three numbers: how much has actually been topped up, how many bonuses have been received in total, and how much is still available for receiving, plus a bar showing “limit used”.
What Does Not Consume the Quota
Some bonuses are excluded because they cannot be faked, and they provide real benefits:
- Partner accruals for invited users — they are already tied to the payments of referrals, see the partner program;
- Reviews, cases, videos, and posts in communities — they are manually checked by a moderator;
- Series of daily logins — they cannot be obtained in bulk, real consecutive days are required;
- Monthly cashback — it equals a fixed percentage of the money actually spent on promotion.
Rewards for the number of launches and for activity over a period have been replaced since October 2026 by monthly cashback (see the section below). What constitutes the cost of a launch is detailed in the article tariffs and price.
Monthly Cashback
Besides one-time rewards, there is cashback on promotion. At the end of each calendar month, the amount you spent on promotion launches is totaled: from $50 you get 3% back, from $300 — 5%, from $1,000 — 7%. The percentage applies to the whole month's spend, not only the part above the threshold. Cashback is credited automatically to the main balance on the 1st of the following month, no application needed. Paid indexing, audits, and security scans are not counted. Cashback does not use up the bonus quota.
There are also separate rewards for the mobile app and the Chrome extension ($2 to $5 per step, at least one project is required), and using the app, the extension, and the Telegram bot together earns a month of Pro. These cash rewards count toward the bonus quota.
Top-Up Promotions
The promotion multiplies the amount you deposit into your account: if you top up a certain amount, more is credited to your balance. The mechanics are as follows:
- Steps by Amount. The promotion may have several thresholds with different multipliers; the highest one applicable to your amount is used.
- Bonus Ceiling. The promotion may have a maximum amount of accrual for one top-up.
- Once per Client. Within one promotion, the multiplier is triggered only once.
- Types of Promotions. General for everyone, separate for the first top-up, and personal rewards. The personal one takes priority, and the bonus for the first top-up only applies when there is no general promotion.
The bonus is credited automatically at the moment of payment confirmation and appears in the transaction history as a separate line next to the top-up itself. Information about the promotion is communicated via email and in Telegram, and while it is ongoing — a banner hangs in the cabinet. Payment methods are described in the article balance and top-up.
What You Can and Cannot Spend On
Both bonuses and accruals from promotions go to the general balance and do not differ from regular funds: they are used to pay for cascades, position checks, audits, security scans, and Pro subscriptions. There is no separate “bonus wallet” with special rules.
What cannot be done with them is to withdraw them as cash: the platform does not make payments to a card or wallet — the balance is spent only within the services. Referral accruals live in a separate wallet and are transferred to the main account manually — but even after the transfer, they remain funds for paying for services.
