Referrals FAQs

The Kraken Referral Program allows you and a friend to earn a random cash reward when your friend signs up using your invite link and meets the eligibility requirements. A Referral Bonus is a reward granted to both the referring user and the referred user upon successful completion of the referral program requirements (“Referral Bonus”). The bonus amount and form (digital assets or legal tender) are determined by Kraken and specified in the applicable Referral Bonus offer. Referral Bonuses are subject to program limits, eligibility rules, and Kraken’s discretion, and are not guaranteed.
