The Offer
- Kraken is offering $50 in BTC when you use promo code us50 and make your first trade
Our Verdict
Can try to go through a portal for another $30, but promo code isn’t listed so might not stack. Can always tell when crypto is pumping when we start seeing these types of deals.
Hat tip to reader snailrock
Kraken is trying to tell me i did not apply the promo code even though we all know there was no where to put promo code
Same here. Scam stuff
Same
Any idea when this might come back?
Created account on 12/6, deposited $25 and made a few trades over $10.
Received an email on 12/9:
“Thanks for joining Kraken! We’re thrilled to announce that you’ve qualified to receive the $50 bitcoin bonus. Be on the lookout for another email from us within the next 30 days confirming your $50 bitcoin bonus has been added to your Kraken account.”
Time to wait and see.
Opened 12/9 and never got a confirmation email. Am I SOL?
Anyone get any indication via email that the promo applied?
I spoke to support and they told me if the offer is still there then the 20k has not been hit yet
Also did not see where to put the code but I used the link and support said as long as you don’t get an error message saying “referral code expired or invalid”, you’re good to go

Not sure about the promo code issue, but this page suggests you can use that or sign up using the direct link on the page (must be on mobile). The deposit + trading can be app or web
Kraken Support says this offer expired Dec 6
Has anyone double-dipped if you had a Kraken account in the past?
There’s nowhere to add promo code and no way to tell if you are one of the first 25k to use this. This same promo was on reddit 6 days ago so I’m gonna say it may well be over 25k. Seems like a scammy way to do a promo.
I signed up and then asked in chat about the 20 k sign up maximum and my concern about potentially not getting the bonus if they had already hit 20k.
Here is the response
“ it is a promo and it has conditions. it doesn;t mean that those first 20,000 signed up got verified right away.
we cannot force you to be optimistic if you see the promo that way. it is open for all, everyone has a chance.”
Such a weird strategy to frustrate potential new customers.
I asked support and they told me “if the offer is still active 20k has not been reached” and that I should get the confirmation email soon
Really? I had an issue and asked in the support and they said if it was up it hadn’t reached 20k. You only see the input if you’re in the US though apparently (had to turn off vpn)
Note that you must deposit $25+ via Plaid, trade $10 or more, do this all in app only AND only the first 20k signups will get this bonus.
Pass for me with all the pump and dump schemes
Too complicated? You can literally buy a stable coin and call it a day. Lol
