It looks like it is a hit and miss with this referal system.

Did he have to physically download the game for it to work and since Raid was already installed it did not work? does he need to hit some sort of time played or level threshold?

Nope, no time played or level threshold as far as I know but the referral link has to opened on a new device where Raid has never been installed on. 

If you go look in the technical support forum you'll find that this issue has been ongoing for a full year.

You'll also find plenty of people who have done exactly what you suggest but never got any of the promised rewards.

Hinting that it might be user error without acknowledging the fact that players have been getting shafted by this system for over a year is pretty disingenuous.

Because in this case it literally has been user error, i'm not hinting. It literally needs to be done on a new device, though it can also be done on separate Bluestacks instances. 

Though it's true that it sometimes doesn't work due some devices' privacy settings, that wasn't the question here.
