What if you could earn Gold every time another manager won a match — without lifting a finger? In Kickoff Boss, you can. The Recruitment System lets you invite real people into the game and earn a permanent 10% cut of their income. Here's how it works and why the smartest managers are already using it.
Your Referral Link
Every manager in Kickoff Boss gets a unique referral link based on their username:
kickoffboss.com/footballgame/YourUsername
Anyone who registers through that link becomes your permanent recruit. Not temporary. Not for one season. Permanent — the connection between recruiter and recruit lasts as long as both accounts exist.
Share it on social media, drop it in a football forum, send it to friends who love management games. Every click is tracked, every sign-up is attributed to you, and every recruit starts earning you Gold from day one.
The 10% Commission
From the moment your recruit starts playing, you automatically earn 10% of their Gold income. No action required on your part — the system handles everything.
Your commission kicks in whenever a recruit earns from:
- League match victory bonuses
- Season-end league prize money
- National Cup stage winnings
- Continental competition rewards
- And other in-game financial earnings
The math is simple: the better your recruits play, the more you earn. A recruit who climbs to the top division and wins silverware generates significantly more income than one sitting in the lower leagues. That's why the best recruiters don't just invite people — they help them succeed.
The Recruiter Dashboard
Your "My Recruits" page gives you full visibility over your recruitment network:
- Earnings per recruit: See exactly how much Gold each individual recruit has generated for you over their lifetime
- Activity tracking: Monitor when each recruit last logged in, which league their team is in, and their current table position
- Referral statistics: A month-by-month breakdown of how many people clicked your link, how many signed up, and your conversion rate
- Welcome message: Set a personal greeting that's automatically sent to every new recruit when they activate their account
- Bulk messaging: Send a message to all your recruits at once — great for sharing tips, announcing new features, or keeping them engaged
The referral stats are particularly useful. By tracking which channels drive the most sign-ups, you can focus your efforts where they actually convert.
The Recruit Market
Here's where it gets interesting. In Kickoff Boss, recruits aren't just income streams — they're tradeable assets.
Through the Recruit Market, you can auction off the income rights to any of your recruits for Platinum. Other managers can browse active auctions and bid on recruits they believe will generate long-term value. Auctions run for 24 hours with a 3-minute anti-snipe extension to keep bidding fair.
When you sell a recruit, the buyer takes over the 10% commission relationship permanently. There's a 5% listing fee when you create the auction and a 10% commission on the sale price — both flowing into the Partners Fund that benefits all shareholders.
This creates a genuine secondary market. An active recruit with a high-performing team in the top division is worth real Platinum to the right buyer. Some managers build large networks and hold them for passive income. Others flip recruits for quick Platinum gains. Both strategies work.
How to Recruit Effectively
1. Go where the football fans are
Football forums, Reddit communities, Discord servers, Facebook groups, X (Twitter) — anywhere people discuss football or management games is a potential goldmine. Don't spam your link — contribute to conversations, mention you play Kickoff Boss, and let people come to you.
2. Write a killer welcome message
Your welcome message is automatically sent to every new recruit the moment they activate their account. Make it count. Introduce yourself, offer help, explain the basics. A recruit who feels welcomed is far more likely to stick around — and a recruit who sticks around is one who keeps earning you Gold.
3. Help your recruits succeed
This is the single most impactful thing you can do. A recruit who understands the game, makes smart decisions, and climbs the leagues will earn more — which means you earn more. Send them tips about training, transfers, and tactics. Answer their questions. Think of it as coaching your own network.
4. Track what works
Your referral statistics show daily clicks and sign-ups by source. Use this data. If a particular forum drives sign-ups, post there more. If a channel gets clicks but no conversions, adjust your approach. Treat your recruitment like a funnel and optimise it.
5. Think in seasons, not days
A single active recruit who plays for 10 seasons will generate far more Gold than 20 recruits who quit after a week. Focus on quality over quantity. Recruit people who genuinely enjoy management games, and invest time in keeping them engaged.
The Numbers
This isn't a theoretical feature — it's a proven system used by hundreds of managers every day. The numbers from the Kickoff Boss community:
- 643,000+ Gold distributed to recruiters
- 385 active recruiters earning passive income
- 7,500+ referral links shared across the web
- Top recruiters have earned over 60,000 Gold each
That's real value, generated purely by building a community around a game you already play.
