Does a deposit alone complete COME's 80 Cash referral stage?
The deposit route also requires the friend's first Mega Contest; the alternative route is ₹1,000 effective turnover.
Work through this situation
If a friend has deposited but not completed the other action in that route, the deposit alone does not satisfy its full wording. Do not collapse and into or when reading the condition.
What to check and why
Break the deposit route into both required actions. Confirm whether the friend's deposit and first Mega Contest condition are both represented in the relevant programme context. Do not turn the wording into a rule that either action alone is sufficient. The separate effective-turnover route is an alternative, not a reason to omit part of the deposit route.
Use the actual milestone record when asking about a reward. State which route you believe was completed and the event in question, without sharing the friend's credentials or private financial details. Do not make an extra deposit as a diagnostic test. Clarifying the existing record is a different task from choosing to participate in another money-based activity.
Recognise the relevant screen

Keep a reward schedule separate from an account result
Programme terms describe a benefit and its conditions; the relevant account record describes the result for that account. Identify the programme, recipient, stage and reward label together. Do not treat another download, a new registration or an extra payment as a way to diagnose an unclear reward. Use the recognised help route for an existing claim.
What a completed answer looks like
The complete qualifying route, rather than one partial action, matches the reward record.
Apply only the conditions that belong to the relevant programme and account. Keep money-based activity within a limit you can afford.
