How hosting your table unlocks free months & weeks

The table host is the heart of game night. She brings everyone together, provides the tiles, and makes sure everyone has fun. We reward that hospitality with automatic Premium time:

🎁 Reward #1 · One-Time Starter Grant

Host your first game night: Get +1 full month free (30 days)

When you host a shared table for your friends, the app thanks you immediately. The moment your table wraps up hand #5, the app automatically awards you 30 days of Premium:

Start a live table

Tap "Invite Table" and let your friends scan your phone's camera QR code to connect.

Play with at least 3 players

Gather at least 3 people at the table (you as the host + 2 joined friends).

Log 5 hands together

As soon as hand #5 is recorded, the reward triggers in real time with an instant celebration!

🥂 Live Table Celebration: Everyone at the table gets a fun live popup cheering you as the host: "Table Milestone! Cheers to our host!"

Instant celebration modal when hand #5 wraps up

Host receives +7 days every time a friend returns to play

🌟 Reward #2 · New Friends Who Return

Bring new friends who return: +7 free days each

Earn free weeks by introducing new players to the app. Whenever a new friend joins your table and returns to play a second session within 4 weeks (28 days), you earn a full week of free Premium:

⚠️ Only applicable to new users of the app:

This reward is earned for introducing new players to Mahjong Metrics. A "new friend" is someone whose account was created within the last 7 days, or who previously downloaded the app but has 0 completed game sessions. Friends who are already active players in the app do not trigger a referral reward when joining your table.

1 New Friend

= +1 Week Free

2 New Friends

= +2 Weeks Free

3 New Friends

= +3 Weeks Free

✓ Must return for a 2nd game night: The reward vests when your new friend plays on 2 separate calendar days within 28 days—ensuring genuine players earn rewards.

✓ Generous 28-day return window: Perfect for weekly and bi-weekly play circles, accommodating vacations or missed weeks.

✓ Sized for full tables: Earn up to 4 new-player rewards every rolling 30 days—custom tailored for game night groups.

🔄 Stacks Automatically: Earned days add right to your account. If you already have active Premium or an existing trial, the new days push your renewal or expiration date even further into the future.

Gift for Your Friends

Your table invite gives friends a 45-day welcome pass

When friends join your table by scanning your QR code, they don’t just get standard 30-day access. The app rewards them with a bonus 15 days, giving them a 45-day all-access welcome pass:

✓ Zero pressure: They don't need to enter a credit card or commit to anything.
✓ Instant sync: Their scores, winning hands, and purse balances sync to their phone live while you play.
✓ Permanent freedom: Even after 45 days, they still keep 2 free game nights every month forever.

You're not just inviting them to a scorekeeper—you're treating them to an extended welcome pass.

Got Questions?

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about rewards, vesting, and stacking free Premium time.

Do my earned free days stack with an existing subscription or trial?

Yes! Free bonus days automatically extend your account. If you already have an active subscription or trial, the new days push your renewal or expiration date further out into the future. You never lose any paid or trial time.

Does the returning friend reward apply to existing players?

No. The +7 free days reward is specifically for introducing new users to the app. An existing player who is already an active member of Mahjong Metrics will not trigger a referral reward when joining your table. A qualifying player must be brand new (account created within 7 days) or someone who installed earlier but has 0 completed games. Once that new player returns to play a second game night with you on a different calendar day within 28 days, your reward vests automatically.

What if a friend downloaded the app earlier but hasn't played yet?

If a friend downloaded the app previously but has 0 completed game sessions, they still qualify! When you invite them to your table and they play with you, you receive full referral credit for activating them.

Is there a limit on how many bonus days I can earn?

Hosts can vest up to 4 friend rewards per rolling 30-day window—generously sized so you can earn rewards for bringing an entire 4-person table together each month.

What happens if my bonus days run out and I don't host?

You still get 2 free game nights every calendar month. You can also subscribe to Premium in the app anytime if you want unlimited access without hosting.
