Exchange New-User Rewards This Week (October 2026): Official Terms Verified, Exchange by Exchange
The short answer
Seven exchanges currently pay a new account for completing simple beginner tasks, and we read every official page on 13 October 2026 before writing a number down. Bitget pays the most per user (up to 6,200 USDT), OKX follows (up to 520 USDT), and Binance gives new users a trading-fee rebate when they sign up with a referral ID. Below the table you will find what you get, the exact steps, the deadlines and the mistakes that cost people their reward.

| Gate | up to 135 USDT in vouchers | sign up, KYC, first deposit of 100 USDT or more, first trade of 50 USDT or more | 2026-10-13 |
Every figure is the maximum one person can receive, not a shared pool. Where an exchange publishes two different numbers we quote the lower one.

Bitget: up to 6,200 USDT
What you get. Bitget's welcome package is in two parts: a deposit-and-trade challenge worth up to 6,000 USDT, and a 200 USDT invite reward that unlocks once the new account completes identity verification. The more you deposit and trade inside the first week, the higher the tier you unlock; Bitget publishes no minimum amount, so even a small first deposit qualifies for the entry tier.
Steps.
1. Register through our Bitget link (code nexu888 is filled in). If the link does not open in your region, type nexu888 in the referral field when you register on bitget.com.
2. Complete identity verification. It is required for the 200 USDT part and for several vouchers.
3. Deposit within 7 days of registration. On-chain transfers, P2P purchases, bank transfers, third-party card payments and fiat all count; internal transfers from another Bitget account do not.
4. Trade within the same 7 days. Higher combined deposit and volume unlocks higher tiers.
5. Claim within 12 days: Bitget monitors for 3 days, then opens a 2-day manual claim window in the rewards hub. Unclaimed rewards expire.
Common mistakes. Opening a sub-account instead of a main account (sub-accounts are excluded), re-registering with an identity Bitget has already verified, or funding the account by internal transfer. Bitget PRO users are also excluded.

OKX: up to 520 USDT
What you get. OKX's new-user hub pays up to 520 USDT for finishing the beginner task list. The campaign page gives no end date and does not publish the deposit or trade threshold for each task; you see the thresholds inside the hub after you log in.
Steps. 1. Register through our OKX link; backup: okx.com/join/nexu888. 2. Complete KYC on the main account. Sub-accounts are not eligible. 3. Open Rewards Hub and finish the listed tasks within 30 days of registration.
Common mistakes. Letting the 30-day window lapse while waiting for a "better" deposit moment, and registering from a region named in clause 2.2 of the OKX Terms of Service, where the campaign does not apply.

Binance: a fee rebate from day one
Check regional eligibility and account terms
Open →Check regional eligibility and account terms
Open →What you get. Binance runs a welcome-reward track in its Rewards Hub, but eligibility for those vouchers depends on the referral mode of the inviter, and we have not confirmed the mode of our ID. So we promise only what we can verify: register with referral ID 11350287 and every trade you make is charged at a rebated fee. There is no deadline on that; it applies for as long as the account trades.
Steps.
1. Register through our Binance link; backup: enter 11350287 in the referral ID field.
2. Complete KYC. Business accounts are not eligible for the welcome track at all.
3. Check Rewards Hub after KYC. If beginner tasks appear for your account, complete them within the stated window; if they do not, the fee rebate still applies.
Common mistakes. Registering from a region on Binance's excluded list (the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong and Russia among others) and expecting welcome vouchers.

Bybit: 50 + 100 + 100 USDT referral rewards
What you get. For accounts created on or after 10 October 2026 12:00 UTC with a referral code, Bybit pays the new user three fixed rewards: 50 USDT after a first trade of at least 50 USD within 14 days, 100 USDT after 500 USD of volume within 30 days of that first trade, and another 100 USDT after 10,000 USD of volume in the same 30 days. Bybit also advertises a separate welcome gift; its page is geo-blocked for us, so we do not quote it.
Steps.
1. Register through our Bybit link; backup: bybit.com/register with affiliate code 48553. The code must be entered at sign-up; it cannot be added later.
2. Make a first trade of 50 USD or more within 14 days.
3. Wait 3 days for review, then claim each reward within 10 days of it appearing.
Common mistakes. Forgetting the code at registration, and trading on a regional Bybit entity rather than Bybit Global, where the program runs.

HTX: up to 241 USDT plus two mystery boxes
What you get. HTX pays up to 241 USDT in fixed rewards and lucky draws for six beginner tasks, with no time limit. Referral sign-ups stay eligible, and HTX states this explicitly, which is rare. Referral sign-ups also receive two mystery boxes, each worth up to 1,500 USDT, if they trade 200 USDT in spot and 300 USDT in futures inside the app within 14 days.
Steps.
1. Register through our HTX link; backup: code nexu888.
2. Do the tasks in order: KYC, deposit any amount, a spot trade, a deposit to the futures account, a futures trade.
3. For the boxes, trade in the app (not the website) within 14 days; each box stays valid for 14 days.
Common mistakes. Doing the tasks out of order, and opening the boxes on the web, where the in-app condition is not met.

Kraken: 20 USD, listed countries only
What you get. Kraken has no non-referral welcome offer; the referral is the reward. Its support article says the new user receives 20 USD; the referrals FAQ describes a random amount between 5 and 50 USD. We quote 20.
Steps.
1. Register through our Kraken link with code 7f97gkqw, in the Kraken app, from a country on the list: the United States (except Maine and New York), Puerto Rico, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Poland, Italy, Belgium or Ireland.
2. Complete KYC with an ID from your sign-up country.
3. Deposit fiat from a bank (cards do not count) and make crypto trades to the amounts shown in the app, all within 30 days.
Common mistakes. Having held a Kraken account before, paying by card, buying only stablecoins or bundles (excluded), or sharing a household or device with an existing user.

Gate: up to 135 USDT in vouchers
What you get. Gate's sign-up page says 135 USDT; the task list adds up to 165. We quote 135. The vouchers come per task: sign up, download the app, verify identity, make a first deposit of 100 USDT or more, and make a first trade of 50 USDT or more.
Steps. 1. Register through our Gate link; backup: gate.com/signup/nexubest. 2. Finish KYC, deposit at least 100 USDT and trade at least 50 USDT within the time limit shown in your rewards hub.
Common mistakes. Registering from Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Turkey, Austria or South Korea, which Gate excludes.

Quick answers
Can I collect all seven? Yes; each exchange rewards its own new account. Start with the one you will actually trade on.
Do I need to deposit a lot? Bitget, HTX and OKX publish no minimum; Gate needs 100 USDT; Bybit's first tier needs a 50 USD trade.
Which deadline is tightest? Bitget's 7-day deposit-and-trade window, then Bybit's 14-day first trade.
What about CoinW and MEXC? Both run new-user programs, but we could not read their official terms on 13 October, so we list no amounts. Our activities page will show them once verified.
