Crypto exchange offers, checked by a real trader
My goal on this site is to test exchange welcome & sign up bonuses, translate them into simple terms and break down what a new trader can realistically unlock/activate, to determine the value of an offer.
Current verified offers
Every offer below was checked by hand. “Realistic for beginners” is what I’d expect a new trader to actually receive, not the headline maximum.

Check what’s available where you live
Offers and licensing vary by country. Some exchanges can’t serve residents of certain countries, and some countries ban crypto sign-up incentives entirely. Choose your country to see only the offers available to you.
What this site does
Exchanges are constantly looking to sign up as many new users by the use of welcome bonuses, referral codes, and fee discounts. While the headline figure may be quite lucrative, not all users are eligible to activate them. Additionally, users need to know whether these offers are still active, and whether the exchange is accessible in your region. This site seeks to fill that gap.
-
Verify it’s live
I check the terms against the exchange’s official promotion page and record the date I last confirmed them.
-
Test it myself
I sign up, verify, deposit, trade and withdraw on my own account, and share what actually happened.
-
Decode the fine print
Deposit minimums, volume targets, voucher expiry and regional exclusions, in plain English.
-
Show the realistic value
Not just “up to $600”, but what a beginner depositing a few hundred dollars can expect.
-
Log every change
Each offer keeps a dated changelog, and expired offers stay on the site, clearly labelled.
How I verify every offer
An offer only appears here after it passes four checks, and it keeps being checked while it’s listed.
Official terms first
I confirm the bonus, requirements and deadlines on the exchange’s own promotion page, never from another referral site.
Licensing and availability
I check where the exchange is licensed or restricted, and I don’t list exchanges with serious regulatory red flags.
Hands-on testing
I open an account, verify, deposit, trade and withdraw, and record times, fees and any problems.
Ongoing checks
I re-check live offers regularly. When terms change, the page and its changelog are updated the same day. When an offer ends, it’s marked expired.
Hi, I’m Marina Torres
Crypto trader and exchange offer reviewer
I’ve been trading crypto since 2019 and have opened and used accounts on a number of exchanges. I test every offer on this site on my own accounts, so you can see what it really takes before you sign up. I’m not a financial adviser, and I won’t tell you what to buy.
Who this site is for
- You’re new to crypto and choosing your first exchange
- You’re comparing sign-up offers and want to know what they’re really worth
- You already trade and want lower fees on a new platform
- You’re tired of referral sites that call every offer “amazing”
What you won’t find here
- Investment tips, price predictions or “get rich” promises
- Exchanges I wouldn’t use myself, or that aren’t licensed where I list them
- Fake countdown timers, invented user numbers or paid rankings
- Expired offers presented as live

How this site makes money
When a user signs up to an exchange via a link or code on this site, I'd earn a commission from that exchange. It won't cost you anything, and you're getting a better deal than signing up directly.
That commission never decides what I write. I tell you when an offer’s headline is hard to reach, I list the downsides of every exchange, and I cover exchanges I don’t earn from too. Offers are ordered by when I last verified them, not by how much they pay.
Frequently asked questions
Are the offers on this site still active?
Every offer shows the date I last verified it. When an offer ends, I mark it as expired rather than removing it, so you’ll never see an old offer presented as live.
Do I get a worse deal by using your codes?
No. Referral codes usually give you something you wouldn’t get by signing up directly, such as a bonus or a fee discount. My commission comes from the exchange, not from you.
Can I use a referral code on an account I already have?
Usually not. Most exchanges only accept referral codes during registration, which is why each review explains exactly where to enter the code.
Is the “up to” bonus amount what I’ll receive?
Rarely. Headline amounts are the maximum, and they normally require large trading volumes. Each review shows what a typical beginner can realistically expect.
Do you give investment advice?
No. I share my experience of using exchanges and their offers. Decisions about what to buy, and how much to risk, are yours.
