Bonus A$100 in BTC Each for Referrer & Referee after Referee Trades A$200 in Crypto within 30 Days @ Kraken (App Required)

3080

Kraken is currently running a referral promotion for new users. If you sign up using a referral link and trade at least $200 AUD worth of crypto, both you and the referrer will receive $100 AUD in Bitcoin.

  • I recommend using Up with PayID for the $200 deposit (and ANZ may/may not work), since ING and CBA may hold the transfer for 24 hours.

  • After buying the A$200 BTC, I instantly received a reward notification for the A$100 BTC.

Tip 1: To pay lower fees on buying/selling, get the Kraken+ trial and then cancel it after.
Update - Tip 2: Some users have mentioned that you need to ensure that you enter the referral code on signup, if it doesn't automatically populate. The referral code appears on the referral link. If it automatically populates, as it did for me, you don't need to bother with the code.


How it works  
  1. Invite friends
    Share your referral link to get started.  
  2. Friend joins and trades
    They sign up, fund A$200 and trade A$200 within their first 30 days.  
  3. Get paid together  
    You both earn a A$100 bonus, paid within 14 days.  

Note: Offer only valid for new accounts signed up via the Kraken mobile app.  

Rewards are paid in BTC.


Key Info

  • Offer is for new Kraken accounts only  
  • Must use a referral link when registering  
  • Trade must be completed within 30 days of signing up  
  • Bonus is paid in BTC and credited automatically  
  • Kraken is AUSTRAC-registered and widely used in Australia

        Actually if for some reason code is not applied from referral link, there is a small link under email field that allows one to enter code manually - may be a good candidate to update instructions in the description.

    Congrats to the stranger that referred me. Just converted some Paypal magic internet money to Bitcoin

  • Anyone else stuck on the "setting up payID, please" wait?

    • Takes abt 5 mins

    • It took 30 mins to get my pay ID.

      • I just used the bank transfer with OSKO and it was instant

  • HODL

  • Thanks, it worked well and I got a message confirmation of the $100 bonus to be received in 14 days. A few tips:
    - I had to use the desktop computer to get my referral link, cause when I clicked on the ozbargain referral link from the mobile it only opened google play store and I couldn't get the referral link.
    - After installing the kraken app, on the first page to sign up there is written "Invite code" or something similar in tiny writing below where you enter your email address. Click on this link to apply your invite code before continuing on with the sign up.
    - Further into the sign up it will come up with an "Authenticate" screen with no further info about what to do. What it actually wants is your mobile PIN code or whatever unlock method you use with your mobile phone.

  • If you're having trouble with PayID, I've used my credit card in the past and just transferred money to it. I found Payid wasn't even close to instant. I presume they still take credit cards; I've been using Kraken for years.

    • +2

      You get charged a cash advance fee by your bank and a seperate added fee by Kraken for using your credit card. That's a very expensive way to make purchases.

  • Signed up, thanks stranger who's code I used.
    Process took a few hours. Sent a test transfer using commbank for 5 bucks using PayID - still on pending

    Then used ubank and transferred via BSB/Account Number - instant OSKO transfer

    Bought $200 worth of BTC via a limit order on Kraken pro - and it has gone through. Instantly received email with confirmation of $100 bonus.

    • Didn't you get charged a $0.50 fee, making it $199.50? Did it still trigger the bonus?

      • he signed up for pro membership trial

        • Is that different to Kraken+ ?

      • I was charged but still got the bonus. $200 is including fees.

  • I sent 2 deposits, one via Pay ID and another via bank transfer. Different banks. Both haven't shown up. Ffs.

    • use revoult

  • Do you just fund your acc with 200 and that's it or you have to spend it and then sell it?

    • After funding your account you then have to buy at least $200 of crypto, either BTC or any of the altcoins.

      • +2

        You only need to trade $200. That can be a $100 Crypto purchase then $100 crypto sale if you're just trying to get the referral bonus and minimise trading losses.

  • Are we allowed to sell straight away after buying once we got the notification?

  • Deposit $10 to test via ubank using BSB and account no, received instantly, then deposit $190, its been 4 hours still hasn't showed up. Whats happening?

    • This gonna be wierd or was it just a coincidence. I went back to Deposit via Bank transfer and I pressed done. Instantly i received my remaining money.

  • clicked the link and it took me to the site. signed up and didn't realise needed to on app. support said badluck.

    Heres hoping someone uses my referral or i just wasted time signing up xD

  • Is everyone leaving their $200 deposit in there until they receive the reward? Or withdrawing the initial deposit now?

    • +2

      left $200 in solana and lost like $10 overnight haha forgot to convert back to aud

  • Thanks OP just went through process via PayID on Macquarie, longest part was waiting for the PayID to generate.

    Thanks for whoever code I used, hopefully someone uses mine!

    6 clicks on referral but no bonus yet 🥲

    • +1

      I’m on 10 clicks with no bonus! Unlucky :(

      • +3

        4/11 here, no clicks in 14 hours but got another 2 referral bonuses a couple of hours ago.

        Perhaps a few people leaving the rest of the sign up / trade until the weekend.

        Hope you both get some soon!

    • +1

      How do you see how many clicks on your referral?

  • How come when I click on a referral link, the page is empty? Goes with any link

    • Dosnload the app and then try it again, or use desktop

  • ANYONE know from previous promotions when bonus come?

    Ala exactly 14 days?

    • +2

      There has never been a similar promotion like this before - at least not in the four years I've been a Kraken user

      Before this deal was posted, there were fewer than five referral links, mine included.

      • How many referral clicks did you get out of this?

        • +1

          Not that many actually. 17 clicks, resulted in 3 success emails.

  • Just letting you guys know people's referral link initially the page says claim 20 but it'll change to 100. So don't worry.

  • Now the question is: do I keep my first ever Bitcoin worth currently $192 or do I sell it… Any 'professional' advice?

    • HODL for sure.
      It’s just dipped as well, so good time to be getting referral bonuses in BTC!

      • Just learned a new word :-) Thanks!

  • +2

    Also download the app first then click the referral link. I just signed the wife up.

    $400 deposited with $400 bonus so far.

    I will use that to buy the switch 2.

  • Bought BTC using Kraken Pro, however it took $0.50 in fees and bought $195.50 in BTC

    Did anyone still receive the email or notification of the $100 bonus as a result?

    • +1

      I paid fee too. Still got bonus conf.

      • I got the confirmation email too. I need to get new specs haha

  • Has anyone had any success signing up partner from same household?

    • +2

      Yes

  • Thanks!

  • +5

    6 clicks using my referral, 1 email from Kraken with successful sign up, thanks op, unknown referee and anyone else that knows me, love a little win :)

  • So is instant or 14 days?

    • Not instant

    • +2

      within 14 days

  • +1

    The bit where it comes up saying 20 USDG instead of $100 AUD doesn't matter btw guys. Used a 20 USDG link and worked perfectly fine.

  • once i buy $200 BTC can i sell straight away and still be eligle for the bonus?

    • yes

  • -2

    in a couple of days it'll be worth $50

    • What's going to be worth $50? BTC? SOL? ETH?

  • On the referral link on the app it says 0 for referrals, yet I got 3 emails saying Thanks for referring a friend! We're thrilled to announce that you and your friend have both qualified to receive the 100.00 AUD in BTC bonus!

    ​What does that mean?

    • +1

      Probably because the referral Bitcoin hasn't landed in your account.

  • Did you guys turn on Auto Earn? Any issues with enabling that?

  • Whats the consensus, Trezor or Ledger hardware wallet?

  • But can you sell your BTC , cash out to your acct?and what's left off that $100 bonus if you do?

  • Quick and easy!

  • Thank you OP for sharing the deal and to the random referrer for the invite code I used. Also the commenters that said to sign up for Kraken+ free trial to save on fees. I did a limit order for $200 BTC at slightly below current market price and it completed minutes later and instantly received the referral bonus email. Now I've added my own referral link to the random pool!

  • Just signed up, thanks for posting

  • Up Bank blocked my payment, and via notification/chat asked me to verify my ID. After doing so, and notification/chat said I was good to go, my attempt to PayID again got blocked.

    Up Bank isn't as simple as OP stated. YMMV!

    I needed to resort to another bank, and unfortunately have been caught up in a 24 hour wait (Bankwest).

    Sorry Referrer, you'll need to wait a little while longer…

    • +1

      Revolut

    • I did up via paypal and it was fine - worth the 1% for it to be done with instantly.

  • How do you withdraw? Cannot find option in menus

    • convert to fiat first

  • They sneakily changed mine from $100 to $50 lol.

  • Referral bonus has been cut from $100 each to $50 apiece.

    • Retrospectively or signups from now on.

      • +1

        It would surely be the latter. People received an email from Kraken previously stating that they'd qualified for the $100 reward.

        • So if we signed up but not yet trade during $100 referral, we still qualified for $100 bonus after trading during $50 period? Thanks

          • @Bargain-er: Nope, probably not. The referral bonus kicks-in once you do the $200 trade, not when signing up.

  • Managed to setup two referrals for family before they changed it to $50. Those sneakiess lol.

  • Not sure why this has been marked as expired… The link still references $100. I had used the $100 referral yesterday when it was still at $100. Had some dramas with my PayID and it managed to clear just now. I did see some recent comments about it reducing to $50 for the referral from late last night until this morning, although I couldn't see anything to validate this.

    I finally just managed to have my PayID from Bankwest clear just now. I bought $200 of BTC and received an email confirming my $100, as follows:

    100.00 AUD in BTC is on the way!
    Hi there,

    Thanks for joining Kraken! We're thrilled to announce that you've qualified to receive your referral bonus!

    Be on the lookout for another email from us within the next 14 days confirming your BTC bonus has been added to your Kraken account.

    Want to Earn Even More ?💰 Invite your friends to Kraken and get rewarded for each successful referral! The more friends you bring, the more you earn

    Also, if it's not too late… PSA!!!

    There was some ambiguity in the first few comments between other members and OP regarding how to get free trades and Kraken Pro.

    For clarification, do NOT install Kraken Pro and trade using this method, expecting a free trade.

    To have a free trade explicitly for this $200AU trade, install the normal Kraken app as per the link, and then after your register with the referral code, there is a banner type button in the app to sign up to Kraken+ for 1-month free trial. This method will get you the free trade. Remember to cancel the trail straight after, if you don't expect to do more trades after the one in this deal.

      Edit: I've been playing with the referral code URL's… So it seems that I was eligible for the $100 referral as I signed up yesterday when it was in fact $100. Now when I try a current random referral, it only gives $50.

      I found a way about this… If you use the below URL and insert the random referral code within the ######## in the URL below, you'll still get $100!

        legend - that worked

        • Did you get confirmation email for 100$?

          • @Fight2021: referral bonus is showing as $100 in the app
            haven't verified yet - selfie thing wouldn't work

          • @Fight2021: Yep just got $100 email after signing up with this link and an ozb random code.

            • @krunchymoses: Do we need to download the app first or just go directly from qr to download it? Some said we should download the app first. Mine is iOs

        This is great, thanks. I don't know why people have downvoted you.

          Ignorance is a bliss!

      • Note I think the URL with the ######## doesn’t show properly on iOS so may appear invalid. Please check on web browser to get the valid URL to copy and paste. Ensure you change the ######## with an actual random OZB referral code!

        • +1

          You are too smart mate. The link still contains your referral and you put everyone in danger of losing the rewards as the last promo has been officially put down by kraken. They probably won’t honour the rewards as the last promotion has ended. They have 14 days to decide.

          In your link, you have af_referrer_customer_id=975be79844568404e1c169700b4f9b8591d0&af_referrer_uid=1748511652406-1234911141219547207

            @logan72: Try educating yourself before you comment. That is not even the referral code my friend, if you had a clue the referral code only contains 8 characters, hence the ########.

            Try again mate, you seem to be the smart one 👌

            • -2

              @AnDyStYLe: And I also mentioned in the new post that a friend has used my old link and they didn’t get anything. Now in the queue to talk to Kraken customer service and the estimated waiting time was 552 minutes.

              • @logan72: Pretty sure you completely missed the point.

                Not sure what you've been smoking, but the irrelevance is real.

    Yeah I just got offered $50.

  • What i have noticed that referral code has changed.
    The previous referral link i shared with my friend still showing as $100.

    The new referral link from app showing as $50.

    Not sure if anyone registering now using previous link still gets $100 or only $50.

    • That has been established. Not the code that changed, but the link itself

  • Same as above - old referral link still shows $100 but new one shows $50. Might be worth trying using old referral link for $100.

    Edit: Just got an email for the $100 bonus, possibly from someone who signed up few days ago but only just completed the $200 trade.
