Modern stock and crypto platforms have sign-up offers and welcome bonuses as an incentive to try out their services with the hope that you’ll turn out to be a long-term customer. Plus, there is nothing for the platforms to lose by getting you onboard. At the very worst you walk away with nothing, and at the best, you wangle your way into earning millions and end up paying the platform a fortune in transaction fees.
There are two things to be aware of when you are hunting down welcome offers and sign-up bonuses. In some cases, the amount you get is only worth something if you complete the offer requirements (like depositing a certain amount of money or making a trade). Most people will invest the bonus and hope to break even or make a small profit.
The second thing to be aware of is that these offers change and disappear on an almost monthly basis. You need to keep on top of which offers are current. For example, Tradestation is a combo stock and crypto platform that has two $150 promo codes. Both promotions have been running for a while, but there is no telling if they’re going to expire tomorrow or in a year.
As you read the platforms in this article, consider the offers, but visit the platforms anyway because if one offer has expired, they will probably have a different one running by the time you visit the website yourself.
Nexo
With this crypto platform, you have to sign up, make sure you’re eligible for the offer, and then go through advanced verification (which takes a day or two because a human has to check your identification). You then need to deposit money and make a crypto trade within 30 days before Nexo pays you a $100 bonus.
Tradestation
As mentioned in the introduction, TradeStation always has some pretty beefy offers, and their current one has been running for a while. They have two $150 promo codes where you get an initial bonus, and a second bonus after buying a small amount of Bitcoin and keeping it in your account for at least 60 days.
Gemini
Gemini has a similar offer to Tradestation, where you’ll earn a $10 Bitcoin or Ether bonus after you open an account and trade at least $100 in crypto within the first three days of account opening.
This crypto exchange is considered a top-notch platform and one of the very few that has passed New York’s strict financial regulations.
Gemini and Tradestation sign-up bonuses are a little different, but they both offer easy rewards with simple requirements.
KuCoin
You can get up to $500 in USDT (a crypto stablecoin) when you sign up. You will need to sign up, open up an account, and then make a deposit. The size of the deposit will determine the reward amount.
With KuCoin, like other crypto exchanges, you’ll need to verify your identity before you can make your deposit.
BlockFi
BlockFi offers a sign-up bonus up to $250 which is paid in the form of Bitcoin. It’s a tiered bonus structure that pays a higher Bitcoin bonus the more you deposit. The lowest tier deposit bonus is $100 and gets as high as $100,000.
To earn the BlockFi bonus, make sure to open up your account using a referral code, make the qualifying deposit(s), and keep it there for at least three months in order to receive your reward.
eToro
Etoro offers are probably the ones you’ve probably heard of in the past because they invest crazy amounts into their marketing campaigns.
Just Google the phrase “eToro promotions” and you’ll find hundreds of search results, YouTube videos, and Instagram/TikTok posts.
Etoro is a popular social trading and multi-asset investment company, made popular by the fact you can trade with fake money to see how well you would have done if you had invested real money.
To earn the $10 sign-up bonus, trade at least $100 within 30 days of account opening.
