I actually did this and got a ball from it...15 lb XXX Factor with decent top weight and pin placement, I don't remember the exact specs though. When I did this all I had to do was sign up for some online casino thing through them and I had enough points to order my ball. It was when it first started up...around March I believe. I think after I ordered it, the ball got to my house in less then two weeks. When I did it I didn't have to refer any friends or anything...I think now though he has lowered the points awarded to signing up for certain things so you will probably need to sign up for two or three of them to get enough points.
