How to Sign Up on OKX With an Invite Code
OKX calls it an invite code, not a referral code. Where the field is, what the invite is worth, and why the wording trips people up.
OKX uses the phrase invite code where most exchanges say referral code. People search for the wrong term, do not find the field, and register without it.
This page covers where the field actually sits, what an OKX invite gives the person accepting it, and the one timing rule that decides whether any of it applies.
Where the field is
OKX registration starts with an email address or phone number. The invite field appears on the same screen, usually as an optional expander below the credentials, or it is pre-filled if you arrived through an invite link.
On the mobile app the field is easier to miss than on the web, because the sign-up flow is split across more screens and the optional section can sit below the fold.
- Search the form for invite code, not referral code — the wording differs.
- An invite link pre-fills the field; confirm it rather than assume it.
- Complete identity verification, which gates most of the programme's tiers.
- Region matters: OKX does not serve every market, and terms differ where it does.
What the invite is worth
OKX runs a two-layer arrangement: a general referral programme open to any account, and an affiliate programme with negotiated terms for people who bring meaningful volume.
What an ordinary invitee receives has typically been a mix of a commission rebate on trading fees and campaign rewards such as mystery boxes or vouchers, with the campaign portion changing often. The commission rebate is the part worth caring about, because it applies to trades you were going to place anyway.
Because the affiliate layer is negotiated, the same exchange can offer materially different terms through two different links. The rate published on a landing page is not automatically the rate you get.
Timing is the whole rule
The invite is recorded at account creation. After that, the account either has a referrer or it does not, and no support ticket changes the answer.
This catches out people who research the exchange for a week, create an account to look around, and then find a code. At that point the code is worthless to them on that account — and opening a second account with the same identity documents is normally blocked.
If your account is already open without an invite, you are on the standard fee schedule. That is a fine place to be; it is simply not the discounted one.
We have not published an OKX code yet
No OKX code appears on this site because none has been verified against OKX's own programme terms. The OKX tab shows that state honestly instead of printing a number nobody has checked.

Questions about this page
Is an OKX invite code the same as a referral code?
Yes, it is the same mechanism. OKX just labels it invite code, which is why searching for a referral field on the form often comes up empty.
Can I enter an OKX invite code later?
No. It is recorded when the account is created and cannot be attached afterwards.
What does an OKX invite give the invitee?
Typically a commission rebate on trading fees plus campaign rewards that change frequently. The rebate is the durable part; the campaign rewards are not.
Does this site have an OKX invite code?
Not yet. Codes are published here only after they have been checked against the exchange's own terms.
Fee rates on this page were checked on 2026-08-21 against the exchange's official fee schedule. Rates can change without notice.
