Crypto exchange referral codes

Referral codes for 11 centralised exchanges, each checked by hand. Every page explains what the code gives you, what the referrer earns, where to enter it and what the catches are.

How exchange referral codes work

A referral code is a short identifier that links a new exchange account to the person who referred it. The exchange pays the referrer a commission out of the trading fees it collects from the new account, and usually gives the new user something too: a fee rebate, a discount, or task-based welcome rewards. Two rules apply almost everywhere. The code has to be entered on the sign-up form, because exchanges do not attach codes to accounts that already exist. And welcome rewards are almost always vouchers or trading credit with deadlines, not cash. You do not need a special link: go to the official site, start registration and type the code into the referral field.

How we keep these pages honest

  • Every code is one we use ourselves. If an exchange closes its program, the page says so instead of showing a dead code.
  • We never link out to exchanges at all, not even to their homepages. You type the address yourself and enter the code on the official sign-up form.
  • Benefit figures come from the exchange's own referral page. Where we have not verified a figure recently, the page says so rather than quoting a stale number.
  • We state what the referrer earns on every page, because you should know what we get from your sign-up.
  • Crypto trading is high risk. The exchanges on this page restrict some countries, and bonuses never make a bad trade a good one.
