Is This Legit?
Common questions about trust and legitimacy
π€ Is this actually a pyramid scheme?
No! Despite the playful name, this is a legitimate referral program run by Hack Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. There's no money exchanging hands between participants - you're simply helping teenagers discover coding opportunities and earning prizes for successful referrals.
π’ Who is behind this?
This program is created and run by Hack Club, a nonprofit that has helped thousands of teenagers learn to code since 2014. Hack Club is funded by major donors and has distributed over $330,000 in prizes in previous programs. You can read about Hack Club on Wikipedia.
π How can you afford to give away free prizes?
Hack Club is funded by generous donors who believe in helping teenagers learn to code. The prizes are funded by these donations, not by participant fees or multi-level marketing. Our previous program successfully distributed $330,000+ in prizes to participants.
π― What's the catch?
There isn't one! The goal is simple: help more teenagers discover coding. You get rewarded for successful referrals, and teens get access to free coding education and opportunities. Everyone wins.
π₯ Who can I refer?
Anyone age 18 or under who loves to code or wants to learn.
π« When do I get tickets?
When someone uses your link, signs up, and codes for at least 1 hour. You only earn tickets for actual signups that code, not just link clicks.
π¬ Do I get tickets for referrals to #pyramid-scheme?
No, you don't get tickets for referrals to the #pyramid-scheme Slack channel itself, only for Hack Club signups through your link.
π How do I put up posters?
Print them from your dashboard and put them up in your community. Take a photo when you put them up to earn tickets!
π What if I'm over 18?
Perfect! This program is for people like you to help high schoolers discover coding.
