The February Deposit Match is a limited-time Kraken promotion that gives eligible users a 3% match bonus on new cash or crypto deposits of up to $1,000,000 USD total (or the equivalent in your local currency) when they enroll through the Kraken app.

Eligible participants can earn a 3% deposit match on their qualifying net deposits during the promotion period. Your match bonus is credited within 14 days of the promotion's end.

‘Net deposits’ means any deposits minus any withdrawals made during the promotion (deposits-withdrawals).

To retain your match bonus over the 18 month hold period, do not withdraw below your net deposits.

What happens to my deposits after the promotion period ends?

All deposits are instantly tradable on Kraken, but when withdrawing off platform after March 9, 2026 to September 9, 2027 (18 months), the match bonus may be subject to a chargeback if you withdraw below the net deposits that you made during the promotion.

For more information, view our terms and conditions.

What happens if the value of my assets drops or increases?

Market fluctuations (such as losses or gains from trading) do not affect your match bonus. However, if you withdraw below the net deposits you made during the promotion, then a chargeback will be triggered.

What happens if I withdraw funds?

To keep your match bonus, your qualifying net deposits must stay at or above the net deposit amount that qualifies for the promotion. If you withdraw funds between March 9, 2026 and September 9, 2027 (18 months) and your qualifying net deposits fall below that level as a result of your withdrawal, your bonus will be fully removed.

You will be warned before a chargeback takes place through your email and the Kraken App notifications, so make sure these are turned on.

What else could trigger a chargeback?

The following actions may trigger a chargeback, because Kraken cannot track whether funds are withdrawn outside the Kraken ecosystem:

Moving funds to a Custody wallet
Moving funds to a derivatives (Futures) wallet for US clients

What can I do with my deposits?

The following actions do not trigger a chargeback, as long as you do not withdraw funds in a way that reduces your qualifying net deposit amount:

Moving funds to a derivatives (Futures) wallet and trading futures (Non US Clients)
Making an OTC trade
Trading equities
Activating or using bonded staking, recurring buys, auto earn and bundles
Moving funds between your own Kraken wallets
Moving funds to Hybrid Earn, DeFi Vaults, or Babylon Staking

This promotion is limited to one account per person. Multiple accounts are not eligible.

Can I ask Kraken to remove my deposit match bonus early?

No. Once the bonus has been credited, it cannot be removed or reversed early. To avoid a clawback, do not withdraw below your net eligible deposits.
