Official Rules

Margin Incentive

BY PARTICIPATING IN THE PROMOTION, YOU AGREE TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES AND THE KRAKEN.COM TERMS OF SERVICE, WHICH EACH FORM A CONTRACT. READ THEM CAREFULLY BEFORE ENTERING.

1. Sponsor

This promotion ("Promotion") is sponsored by Tulip HoldCo Ltd., located at 2nd Floor, Water's Edge Building, Wickhams Cay II, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands ("Sponsor" or "Kraken").

2. Eligible Areas

This Promotion is open to eligible customers in jurisdictions where Kraken services and margin trading are available, excluding the United States, the United Kingdom, all European Economic Area (EEA) member states, and Canada. Where local laws prohibit participation in this type of promotion, residents of those areas are not eligible. Void where prohibited.

3. Promotion Period

The Promotion begins on May 8, 2026 at 1400 UTC and ends on May 15, 2026 at 23:59 UTC (the "Promotion Period"). Sponsor's computer is the official time-keeping device for this Promotion. Qualifying trades must be completed within the Promotion Period to be eligible. Trades made before the Promotion Period begins do not count toward the threshold.

4. How to Participate / Qualifying Activity

Eligible participants will receive a personalised margin volume target during the Promotion Period. To qualify for a reward, a participant must reach their assigned margin trading volume target within the 7-day Promotion Period.

Only margin trading volume counts toward the target. Stablecoin pair trades are excluded. Volume is measured on a cumulative basis across the Promotion Period. Trades made before the Promotion Period begins do not count.

Participants do need to enrol  first to be eligible for the reward — eligibility and volume targets are determined automatically based on each participant's trading activity. One reward per eligible Kraken account.

Upon completing their volume target, qualifying participants will receive one BTC giftbox. The reward amount is determined by an automated random draw at the moment of qualification. Possible reward amounts are:

  • $5, $10, $15, or $80 in BTC
  • $5, $15, $30, or $150 in BTC

The probability of each outcome is the same across all participant groups: base prize (60%), mid prize (25%), high prize (12%), maximum prize (3%). These probabilities apply independently to each qualifying participant at the time of their draw.

5. Reward

Qualifying participants receive one BTC giftbox. The reward amount is determined by an automated random draw at the moment the participant completes their qualifying volume target. The possible reward amounts are listed in Section 4. The exact amount is not disclosed in advance of the draw.

Rewards are denominated and credited in BTC at the BTC/USD exchange rate at the time of crediting. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a reward of equal or greater value if the specified reward becomes unavailable.

Rewards have no cash value and are non-transferable. Participants may not sell, trade, or transfer their reward.
