I understand that you give them aesthetic rewards for purchasing Town Points and Steam, but that's really not the point of the Refer a Friend system. The point is to refer a friend to the game in order to increase your number of players because the more number of players, the more ad revenue from the login screen and the more likely they will, at a later time, purchase Town Points or the Steam version.
If your only concern with making accounts with 10 games get credit is the fact that fake accounts can be used and a bot can be used, increase the game number to 50 like it is in ranked. It gives people incentive to keep playing and it increases the value of the account, making people less likely to break the rules in the future.
If you guys have already thought of that and have a counter, by all means let me know what the flaw in my logic is. I mean it is your game anyways

It's been inactive for an hour. How are you necroing?

Also, aren't bots against your Terms of Service? I vaguely remember that they are. Also I haven't seen a single Town of Salem bot on the web and only a very, very, very select few people would have the skill, time, and effort to put into making a bot just to cheat your system. It just doesn't seem worth it to require an in-app purchase.

Why do you even need to own everything? If you refuse to tell your friends/family/whatever about the game then why should you get these?
And guys I'm pretty sure your friends don't have to buy anything. They just have to make a purchase. So if they just play enough to get enough coins to buy something, it counts. That doesn't take that long.

I believe in-app purchase refers to purchasing something in the game that requires real $$$ money rather than Town Points (i.e. buying Town Points themselves).
Honestly, I don't really have that many friends to begin with, let alone ones who would be willing to immediately spend money on a game they were just referred to. I'm a little iffy on the concept, but I understand it's just to generate more income which is completely valid. The rewards look nice, but they're really not essential for gameplay at all, so it really doesn't matter much to me in the end.

Sucks that I'm locked out of content because I don't have people interested in spending money on the game.

You can, just make multiple alternate accounts and purchase it.
