Method, disclosure & privacy

krakenreferralcodes.com is an independent affiliate site built around the Kraken referral code rfqr7jtt. We operate the code, document exactly what Kraken’s welcome bonus pays and how to unlock it, and publish the eligibility rules and requirements so you know what you’re signing up for. If you just want the practical walkthrough, start with our step-by-step guide to using a Kraken referral code.

The site exists because referral-code pages are, as a category, notoriously unreliable: search for “Kraken referral code” and you’ll find expired promotions, invented bonus amounts, and terms copied from other sites years ago. We wanted one page where every number could be traced to an official Kraken source with a visible verification date — so that’s what we built.

The site is written and fact-checked by the krakenreferralcodes.com editorial team. We keep the scope deliberately narrow — one exchange, one referral program — because a small, focused site is easier to keep accurate than a sprawling one.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Payward, Inc. or Kraken. This is an unofficial resource.

Every claim on this site traces back to one of two official sources: Kraken’s referrals page and the referral program article in Kraken’s help center. That covers the bonus amount, the deposit and trade requirements, the list of eligible countries, and the excluded US states. We do not source figures from other affiliate sites, forum posts, or press coverage — those are exactly the places where stale and inflated numbers circulate.

When we say a figure is “verified,” we mean we opened the official Kraken page and read the current terms ourselves, on a specific date, and that date is recorded. Where Kraken states that an amount varies, depends on your region, or is shown in-app, we say exactly that rather than inventing a fixed number. If we can’t trace a figure to an official page, we don’t publish it. And when Kraken’s marketing page and its help center don’t line up perfectly — which happens with promotional offers — we publish the more conservative reading and note the discrepancy, instead of quietly picking whichever number looks better.

Facts are re-checked at minimum monthly, and additionally whenever we notice Kraken has updated its promotional terms. Each re-verification is logged in the fact changelog below, and the “last verified” date shown across the site is updated from a single source of truth in the codebase — so a stale date can’t linger on one page while another is current.

One firm policy: no inflated “$500 bonus” claims. Plenty of referral sites headline the biggest number they can find a historical excuse for. We publish what Kraken actually offers today, even when a bigger number would get more clicks.

A dated log of every verification pass and any change to the referral facts we publish. This log tracks fact changes only — not design or copy tweaks. We keep it public so you can see when the page in front of you was last reviewed, rather than having to take our word for it.

• July 17, 2026 — New reward added: 20% cashback on trading fees. Our referral now includes a Kraken Pro cashback invite (part of Kraken’s cashback-link program). Verified by loading the signup page for our link directly — Kraken’s own page displays “20% cashback on trading fees.” The Kraken-app welcome bonus (up to $20 USDG) is unchanged and remains available via the app invite link.
• July 16, 2026 — Kraken’s advertised referral bonus changed. The referrals page now shows up to $20 USDG for both sides (previously up to $75). The referrals page also states a 15-day completion window while the help center (updated June 22, 2026) still says 30 days with an in-app countdown — we now cite both and defer to the countdown in your app. New account signups must happen via the Kraken app, and rewards are limited to one per device per household. Eligible-country list unchanged. Every page on this site was updated the same day. Site-wide accuracy and accessibility improvements shipped alongside.
• July 7, 2026 — Site published. All referral facts verified against Kraken’s referrals page and help center.

When you sign up through our invite link or code, Kraken’s referral program pays us a share of the reward — at no extra cost to you, and without changing the bonus you receive. That referral share is this site’s only revenue. Per Kraken’s rules we promote the link only through organic content, never paid ads. We don’t sell ads or data, so we have no reason to overstate the offer. The incentive actually runs the other way: our commission only pays out when a referred user completes Kraken’s real requirements, so setting false expectations that end in abandoned signups would earn us nothing and cost us trust.

This is a static site. We set no cookies and collect no personal data. We use Vercel Web Analytics, a cookieless service that gives us aggregate, anonymous page-view counts — no advertising trackers, no cross-site tracking, and no way for us to identify individual visitors. Our host (Vercel) keeps standard short-lived server logs. Links to kraken.com are referral links; anything you do on Kraken is governed by Kraken’s own terms and privacy policy, including identity verification (KYC). The full privacy policy is here.

Questions, corrections, or feedback: contact@krakenreferralcodes.com. We usually reply within a few days. Please note we are not Kraken support — we cannot see, access, or fix Kraken accounts or bonuses. For account issues, contact Kraken support directly. More detail on what we can and can’t help with is on the contact page.

Crypto trading carries substantial risk of loss. A welcome bonus does not offset market risk, and the value of crypto you buy can fall. Nothing on this site is financial advice. The referral bonus is region-limited and requires meeting Kraken’s conditions. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
