I'm thinking about it, and it's definitely an unpleasant situation. It's hard to say how this actually works in a situation where a casino runs a tournament with free spins.
I know that when it comes to bonuses, casinos don't always have to give them to a player—it can be based on their own decision. There doesn't necessarily have to be anything specific behind it.
However, if you participated in a tournament, didn't break any rules, and the only way to get the prize is by referring friends, then I'm not sure if we can really help with something like that. I would probably say not.
In theory, you can try opening a complaint with us, but I want to be honest in advance that it's quite possible we wouldn't be able to help. Still, you don't lose anything by trying and at least asking our team how you should proceed in such a case.
Overall, it doesn't seem very user-friendly, and I would also be concerned that even if you refer friends, the casino might later ask for something else again before you can actually receive any prize or free spins. Personally, I would probably leave it and not play at such a casino.
Can you also tell me which casino do you referring to?
