Welcome to the definitive guide on the OKX Referral Program. This initiative is designed to reward you for introducing new users to the OKX platform. By sharing your unique referral link or code, you and your friends can earn exclusive bonuses. This guide will walk you through how the program works, how to participate, and how to troubleshoot common issues.
At its core, the program offers a personalized reward structure. The exact nature of your bonus can vary by campaign. You might receive a random reward up to a certain value or a fixed amount for each qualified referral. Log into your account and visit the dedicated referral page to see what rewards are currently available to you. These can include crypto tokens of equivalent value, cashback cards, trading bonuses, or futures vouchers.
How to Qualify for Referral Rewards
To earn a reward, the friend you invite must successfully complete a few simple steps using your unique referral code or link.
- Registration: They must create their OKX account through your unique referral link.
- Identity Verification: They must complete the required identity verification (KYC) process.
- Deposit Task: They must complete a qualifying trade by depositing the necessary amount during the event period.
It's important to note that the referral feature's availability can depend on your region and is subject to what is displayed on your account's referral page. Additionally, both you and your referred friend must be using OKX app version 6.66.0 or newer to participate in this program.
How to Invite Your Friends
Inviting friends is a straightforward process, whether you prefer using the web platform or the mobile app.
On the Web
- Log in to your OKX account.
- Navigate to your referral section. You can typically find this under More > Referral.
- From this page, copy your unique referral code or generated link.
- Share this code or link directly with your friends.
On the Mobile App
- Log into the OKX application.
- Go to User Center > Referral.
- Copy your personal referral code or link.
- Share it through your preferred messaging or social media apps.
Key Points to Remember:
- You can review and claim your earned rewards through the Invitation History page.
- While you can invite an unlimited number of friends, there is a cap on how many rewards you can receive per campaign cycle. Typically, you can claim up to 3 referral rewards per cycle.
- Friends who sign up through your link will automatically be enrolled in the platform's New User Bonus program.
How Your Friend Can Complete the Deposit Task
For a referral to be valid, your friend must complete a specific deposit task during the campaign period.
- The Deposit Task: This requires a single transaction that meets the necessary amount threshold. This must be completed either through an on-chain deposit or a qualifying P2P transaction. It is crucial to note that internal transfers, crypto gifts, airdrops, or any other non-qualifying deposit methods will not count toward completing this task.

Troubleshooting: Common Reasons for Not Receiving Rewards
If your friend has completed the tasks but you haven't received your reward, there are a few common reasons.
- Monthly Reward Limit Reached: Check your referral history. If you have already claimed 3 rewards in the current cycle, you will not be eligible for additional rewards from new referrals, even if the tasks are completed. Unclaimed rewards do not roll over to the next cycle. This reward limit resets on the first day of each new cycle at 00:00 (UTC+8).
- Eligibility Review: OKX conducts strict reviews on all referred users. If any invited friend is found to be involved in fraudulent activity, OKX reserves the right to cancel the participation eligibility and reward claims for all associated users.
Can Affiliates Participate?
No, users who are already part of the OKX Affiliate or Sub-affiliate programs are only eligible for rewards from those specific programs. They cannot participate in or earn rewards from the standard user referral program.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can I refer?
You can refer an unlimited number of friends to the OKX platform. However, please be aware that most campaign cycles have a cap on the number of rewards you can receive, often limited to 3 per cycle.
What counts as a valid deposit for my friend's task?
A valid deposit is typically a single on-chain crypto transfer or a completed P2P transaction that meets the minimum required amount. Internal transfers, gifts, airdrops, and other non-standard deposit methods are explicitly excluded and will not qualify.
Why can't I see the referral page in my account?
The availability of the referral program is subject to regional regulations. If you cannot see the referral section, it is likely because the program is not currently offered in your jurisdiction. Always check the official announcements for availability.
How long does it take to receive my reward after my friend qualifies?
Rewards are typically distributed automatically, but it can sometimes take up to 48 hours for the system to process and credit the reward to your account. If it has been longer than 48 hours, we recommend contacting customer support.
Can I refer someone if I am using a Sub-account?
No, Sub-accounts are not eligible to participate in the referral program. They cannot refer others, receive rewards, or be counted as a successful referral from another account.
What happens if the market changes and my reward's value fluctuates?
Rewards, especially those distributed in cryptocurrency, are subject to market volatility. The value of your reward when you receive it and when you decide to withdraw or use it may be different. This is a normal characteristic of digital assets.
