Exchange Promotions5 tracked

Exchange promotions are time-limited bonuses from centralized exchanges — signup cashback, deposit matches, fee discounts, card rewards, and referral bonuses — that require a short task list rather than sustained trading volume. The defining feature is low effort: complete KYC, deposit a qualifying amount, and the bonus is credited. The risk profile is also lower than most other categories because you are dealing with regulated custodians (for the major exchanges) and the reward does not depend on market movements. CRR evaluates exchange promotions by net benefit after accounting for required capital lock-up, KYC friction, geographic eligibility, and minimum withdrawal thresholds. A "$100 welcome bonus" that requires $5,000 in locked capital for 30 days is equivalent to 0.67% monthly yield — useful to know before you commit funds. Common risks in this category: geographic restrictions are pervasive (many promotions exclude US, UK, and EU residents), KYC requirements vary by tier, and some bonuses are credited as "trading vouchers" rather than withdrawable cash. Deposit-match offers often require you to trade the bonus volume before withdrawing, effectively charging a hidden rollover fee. Sub-types: new-user signup bonuses (highest value, one-time), deposit match offers (percentage of first deposit up to a cap), referral programs (ongoing, requires audience), loyalty card cashback (Binance Card, Crypto.com Visa), and launchpad participation (stake exchange token to access IEO allocation). Card cashback programs have the best risk-adjusted return for users who already spend through the card. We verify all promotion terms directly from the exchange's API or official announcement page. Eligibility conditions, expiry dates, and minimum deposit requirements are extracted and displayed on every listing. If a promotion has ended or terms have changed, the listing is updated within one ingestion cycle.
