How Tubaar works

Everything you need to use the app — and what to do when something looks wrong.

Invite friends

Updated 2026-10-02 · Applies to: iPhoneAndroidWeb

Your invite code and link, the welcome gifts, when gifts unlock, and the one-per-person rule.

Invite friends

Every member has a personal invite code and link. When someone joins Tubaar with your code, they get an extra welcome gift from Tubaar, and you get a gift too once their account has settled in.

In the app, open Settings → Money → Invite friends. You'll see Your code, a Copy button and Share link. Your link looks like tubaar.com/r/ followed by your code. The same screen lists the people who joined with your code, as Your referrals, and where each one is: Joined, Verified or Rewarded.

Invite friends only appears while the welcome and invite program is running.

Joining with a code

  • From a link: open the link and install Tubaar from the store button, or open it in the app if you already have it. On Android and on the web, the code is filled in for you.
  • On iPhone, or if the code isn't filled in: tap Have an invite code? when you sign up and type it. Codes aren't case-sensitive. Tubaar then shows Invited by and the name of the member who invited you.
  • Missed it? You can still add a code in your first 24 hours. After that, or once a code is added, it can't be changed. You can't use your own code.

Welcome gifts

  • Every new member receives a welcome gift from Tubaar.
  • A member who joins with an invite code receives an extra welcome gift.
  • The member who invited them receives a gift when the new member's gifts unlock.

When you join, a card tells you what Tubaar sent you. In your Wallet, history shows Gift from Tubaar, and later Gift unlocked or Gift expired. The gifts themselves can change; the app always shows the current ones.

When gifts unlock

Welcome gifts arrive locked. Your Wallet shows Locked with the date they unlock, and How to unlock shows what's left to do. Locked Baars can't be sent to anyone or cashed out yet. They unlock once your account meets all of these:

  • it is at least 30 days old;
  • your phone number is verified;
  • it is in good standing: not banned, paused or being deleted;
  • you've been active on Tubaar on at least 5 different days.

When they unlock, they become ordinary earned Baars; see Baar — what it is and how it works. If an account never meets these conditions, its locked gifts expire 120 days after sign-up and return to Tubaar.

If you try to send a gift, unlock a Saga episode or enter a paid live with Baars that are still locked, Tubaar tells you your gift Baars are still locked rather than that you don't have enough. You'll only see "not enough Baars" if you'd be short even counting the locked ones.

One per person

  • One welcome gift per verified phone number.
  • One invite gift per phone number and per device.
  • You can't use your own code, on another account, phone or device you use, or with your own payout account.
  • An inviter is rewarded for a limited number of new members each month.

Accounts created to collect gifts, and gifts obtained against these rules, can be cancelled. Tubaar may change or end the welcome and invite program at any time. See the Terms of Service.
