Please note

The February Deposit Match has now ended (March 9, 2026 at 13:59 UTC).
If you qualified, please refer back to this FAQ about your bonuses, withdrawals and more.

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.

Enrollment required before depositing:

You must enroll through the Kraken app to be eligible for the February Deposit Match. Deposits made before enrolling in the app will not qualify.

  • Start: February 2, 2026 at 14:00 UTC
  • End: March 9, 2026 at 13:59 UTC

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.

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.

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.

The following actions may trigger a chargeback, because Kraken cannot track whether funds are withdrawn outside the Kraken ecosystem: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

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.

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.
