Abstract

A method, apparatus, and computer readable storage to implement a social networking game that provides players additional incentives and advantages based on the value of that player to a site hosting the games. For example, a player who refers more friends to play on the site will receive better chances of winning valuable prizes in the games. The value of a player's referred friends can also be taken into consideration when determining that player's value.
