its actually only 10

Creating an account gets the new member $25 and the referrer $10.

I got $50 when i signed up. Guess it pays to wait and not use a referrer.

They gain interest on all the money they hold for you. You get 2.10% of the 3.0% (or whatever it is) that they get. Multiply that by a billion dollars, and you're making a lot of money.

by investing the money that you will hopefully/eventually deposit in their accounts. Plus, if they don't withdraw it immediately, they make money on the investment interest they get for that money.

Did you use the code from the tax software to set up your account? (It was a hot deals thread quite some time ago.)
