The '''Refer-A-Friend''' program was the reward system [[Riot Games Inc.]] created to motivate players to recruit friends for the game. On 25-Apr-2012, Refer A Friend 2.0 was released.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/0/http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2058940 Presenting Refer-a-Friend 2.0!]</ref>

Referrals can be accumulated by sending out an email using the form on the referrals page, or with your account's personalized referral link. Referrals will be accepted from both EU and US; it does not matter which server they sign up with.

This system was discontinued on 5-Sep-2015. The exclusive skins can now be obtained with [[Honor]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/0/http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/features/refer-friend-retires-thirty-days Refer-A-Friend retires]</ref>
