New users may earn up to $530 total:

Step 3 β Deposit and Complete the Trade (β οΈ Should be in the app)¶
Krakenβs terms state that the qualifying trade must be done in the app. Some DPs say website trades still triggered the bonus, but the safest approach is the app.
- Download the Kraken mobile app.
- Deposit at least $100 (recommend ACH: no fee, funds available instantly).
- Trade $100β$5,000 cumulative (depending on the tier) of a non-stablecoin (BTC, ETH, etc.).
- Stablecoins (USDT/USDC) do not count
β οΈ Important Tips to Avoid Trading Fee and Slippage
1οΈβ£ Start the free Kraken+ trial (waives the 1% fee)
- Waives the 1% trading fee
- Cancel immediately; free month remains active
- Saves $50 on a $5,000 trade (or ~$100 for buy+sell)
2οΈβ£ Use Limit Orders β NOT Instant Buy
Instant Buy = market order β typically 1%β2% spread.
How to place limit orders in the Kraken app: - Tap Custom (top right) - Switch Instant β Custom price - Enter your desired price (limit order)
Tips: - Pick a price near the lower end of the last 1β2 minutes of movement. - If it doesnβt fill, adjust slightly. - After the buy fills, immediately Custom Sell at or near the buy price.
Step 4 β Optional: βSpin to Winβ in the App¶
Some users will see a Spin to Win button in the app. - Activate the offer with one trade - 1 spin/day for 30 days (free crypto rewards) - Rollout is ongoing β not all users have access yet.
β± Bonus Timeline¶
- Capital One Shopping $250 cashback: usually pending in ~3 days.
