The door
Nobody plays alone. Your daily $FK, and the draw, are behind a door that only a real friend opens: every X account that walks in on /r/<your handle> hands you keys. One key opens today. 5 keys and the month is yours. 10 and you are in for life.
What a friend is worth
An account younger than 30 days or under 25 followers hands you nothing — it is not accepted as a plus-one at all. A brand new account is the one thing a farm can make for free, and the door would be worthless if it counted. Reach cannot be faked at that price.
Whoever walks in on your link gets a welcome key of their own — their first day is on the house. After that the door is theirs to open.
The board
Ranked by keys handed over, then by heads. A big account walking in is worth more than a small one, and the board says so.

Why it cannot be farmed into a win
A key has no weight. It decides whether you may play today, never how much you play with: your handout is still the ladder's rung for your own reach, and it still expires at 00:00 UTC. However many people you bring, there is nothing to accumulate into the pot — so there is nothing to cap, and nobody can bring their way to winning every night.
The rest is the boring part: an account born last week opens no door, a friend who arrives from the same connection as you hands over nothing, an account can only ever be bound to a referrer once, at signup — and this page exists so that a ring of accounts all pointing at one player is visible to everybody and not just to us. Same reason the transfers feed is public.
A month pass is 30 days from the moment your 5th key lands, and it does not spend any keys. Nobody earns $FK for bringing anybody: the reward for a friend is the door, and only the door.
