The More Friends You Have... The More Money You Could Win!
Leading Destination Portal Announces Refer-A-Friend Program Where Winners' Friends Win As Well!

Irvington, NY, August 15, 2000 - iWon (www.iwon.com), an Internet portal recently ranked #1 in user satisfaction, with an award winning search engine, announced the official launch of its Refer-A-Friend Program, a new and exciting feature which provides its users with even more ways to win money - just for telling their friends about iWon!

iWon believes that a great way to let people know about the site is for loyal users to help spread the word - and what better reward for telling your friends than having additional chances to win.

How It Works:
The iWon Refer-A-Friend program is a very simple concept. Users will receive a 10% cash bonus based on the amount of any Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Annual cash prize awarded to someone that they refer to iWon. Users also receive a 5% cash bonus if your friend's friend wins and a 1% cash bonus if the referral process goes to a third level. For example, if you refer your friend and he wins $1 million then your friend receives the $1 million and you receive $100,000 as a bonus for having told them about iWon. If your friend's friend wins $1 million, then you get a $50,000 cash bonus and if it's a friend of a friend of a friend, then you receive $10,000.

The more people that you refer, the more chances you have to win. There is also a referral chart where users can see how many people are trying to win on their behalf. In order to enter, users send an email to their friends and receive credit for any person who elects to give them credit for the referral.

"The Refer-A-Friend Program is a great new feature that gives our users yet another way to win cash," said Bill Daugherty, Founder and co-CEO of iWon.com. "The Refer-A-Friend program is an easy way to let users spread the wealth of iWon while offering them, their friends and family the chance to win!"
