Where to Check Your OKX Referral Status? Invite Rewards Tracking + Troubleshooting (2026)

The short answer: you can check your OKX referral status in the App under “profile avatar (top left) → Settings → Profile → Referral”, or in the account center on the website. Invite reward details live on the Referral / My referrals page, while issued rewards are claimed or viewed in Rewards (My Rewards). If a reward hasn’t arrived, don’t panic — first check the invitee’s task completion in My referrals. Most missing rewards come down to unfinished tasks, an expired campaign window, or rewards that are still locked. Below you’ll find the full click path for both App and web, a troubleshooting table for missing payouts, and the difference between referral rewards and rebates, all in one place.

Where can I check my OKX referral status?

Whether you registered through someone’s invite and want to check, or you’ve invited friends and want to see your stats, the entry point is the same place. OKX keeps referral relationships inside account settings, with two paths — App and web.

In the App (most common):

1. Open the OKX App and tap the profile avatar in the top-left corner to enter your personal center;
2. Go to “Settings” → “Profile”;
3. Find the “Referral” entry and tap in;
4. Here you’ll see two key pieces of info: your referral code / invite link (for inviting others) and your referrer (who invited you).

On the website:

1. Log in to the OKX website, click the avatar in the top-right corner to enter the account center;
2. Find the “Referral” page;
3. Under the “My referrals” tab you can see the complete picture: who you invited, who invited you — all at a glance.

A quick tip: OKX updates its App frequently, and the menu label sometimes switches between the local language and “Referral”, or hides under “More services”. If you can’t find it via the path above, just search Referral in the search box on the App’s home screen — that usually takes you straight there.

On this page, “referral status” actually covers two directions: who invited me (my referrer) and who I’ve invited (my invitees). The former determines whether you earn rebates; the latter determines how many invite rewards you unlock. Both are on the same page, so you can review everything in one go.

How do I confirm I’m bound to referral code OKCOOL?

Many beginners type in a referral code during signup and then forget about it. Checking whether it actually stuck is easy:

1. Open the “Referral” page via the path in the previous section;
2. Find the “My referrer” or “Referred by” field;
3. If it shows referrer info, the binding worked. If it’s empty or says “no referrer”, no referral code was entered at signup.

Three hard rules about referral code binding:

• A referral code can only be entered at signup — it can’t be added or changed afterward. A typo is permanent.
• Accounts bound to referral code OKCOOL enjoy a lifetime rebate, and the binding stays valid long-term.
• If you haven’t registered yet, just fill in OKCOOL in the referral code field at signup. For a visual guide to where the field is, see Where to Enter Your OKX Referral Code.

Already registered without a code? Don’t stress too much: OKX runs official new-user campaigns from time to time. The main thing you miss out on is the rebate. To fully understand what referral codes do, start with OKX Referral Code Explained.

Where do I check my invite rewards?

OKX splits rewards across two places, which confuses most beginners: “I invited people — where did my rewards go?” You were probably just looking in the wrong place.

• Referral / My referrals: for progress and details. This shows how many people you invited, which tasks each person completed, which rewards are unlocked, and which are still in progress. To see whether “my friend finished their tasks”, come here.
• Rewards / My Rewards: for issued rewards. Unlocked rewards are sent here, and some need to be claimed manually before they land in your funding account.

The standard flow is: first check task progress in My referrals → once everything is checked off, look in Rewards to see if the reward arrived → claim it into your account. Skipping the first step and going straight to Rewards is the most common rookie mistake — if the tasks aren’t done, Rewards will obviously be empty.

Why hasn’t my reward arrived?

This is the most-asked question in our inbox. Before contacting support, work through this table — it resolves around 90% of cases on its own.

A special note on risk control: OKX polices “inviting yourself” and bulk-registered sockpuppet accounts aggressively. Once flagged, you don’t just lose the rewards — the account itself can face feature restrictions. Inviting real users is the only safe way to play.

If you’ve ruled out all six items and the reward still hasn’t arrived, contact official OKX support. Have three things ready: your UID, the invitee’s UID (or signup email), and the campaign name — that lets support locate your case fast.

Are regular referral rewards and rebates the same thing?

No. They’re two completely separate systems, and mixing them up means understanding neither.

An example: you register on OKX with referral code OKCOOL. The rebate returns a portion of your trading fees to you on every trade — a steady drip. The referral reward is a one-off reward pack unlocked after you complete the new-user task chain (signup → KYC → deposit → trade). The two stack — they don’t conflict.

For a deeper look at how rebates are calculated and where the money comes from, see How Rebates Work: Where the Money Comes From.

What counts as a valid invite?

Signing up alone doesn’t count. OKX has clear criteria for a “valid invite” — the invitee must meet both conditions:

1. Complete KYC identity verification: signup without verification doesn’t count. KYC is real-name verification with an ID document plus facial recognition — see OKX KYC Verification Guide; it usually takes just a few minutes.
2. Complete the designated tasks: typically a first deposit and at least one trade; the exact task list follows the current campaign page. You can track each person’s progress in My referrals.

The key point: the invitee must register through your invite link or with your referral code entered — otherwise the system can’t attribute them to you. So when inviting friends, always send your personal invite link; don’t just say “go download OKX”.

Also note that referral codes themselves have validity and usage rules — a code left unused for a long time may expire. See Do Referral Codes Expire? for the details.

FAQ

Q1: How long do referral rewards take to arrive?
A: After the invitee completes all tasks, rewards are usually issued to Rewards (My Rewards) within a few business days. Some campaigns pay out in unified batches, which can take a few extra days. The exact timing follows the current campaign’s rules page.

Q2: My reward shows as “locked” — what should I do?
A: Locking is a normal reward mechanism, not a bug. Locked rewards can be claimed once the lock-up period ends (the exact length is in the campaign rules), and the rewards center shows a countdown. Remember to claim manually after unlocking — unclaimed rewards may expire.

Q3: Is there a cap on how many people I can invite?
A: Regular referral programs generally have no invite cap — the more you invite, the more rewards you unlock. Just make sure they’re real users; bulk fake accounts trigger risk control.

Q4: Does inviting myself count?
A: No. Using multiple accounts to invite yourself is a violation. OKX’s risk system detects linked devices, IPs, and identity info — once flagged, rewards on all related accounts are cancelled, and in serious cases account features are restricted.

Q5: I changed phones — is my referral relationship still there?
A: Yes. Referral relationships are tied to your OKX account (UID), not your device. Log in with your original account on the new phone and your referrer, invitees, and rebate rate are all intact. Just migrate your two-factor authentication (2FA) beforehand so you’re not locked out on the new device.

Q6: Can I earn referral rewards and rebates at the same time?
A: Yes. Referral rewards are one-off task rewards; rebates are ongoing fee revenue share. The two systems run independently and don’t conflict. Users who register with referral code OKCOOL enjoy both.

Q7: My invitee didn’t complete KYC — do I still get the reward?
A: No. KYC is a hard requirement for a valid invite. If they don’t verify, the corresponding task rewards on your side won’t unlock. After inviting friends, remind them to complete verification promptly.

Q8: Can I withdraw rewards once they arrive?
A: Claimed rewards land in your funding account and can generally be used for trading. Some rewards come as trial funds or fee-deduction vouchers that can’t be withdrawn directly — check the reward page for the specific terms. To withdraw, first confirm the reward has converted into a withdrawable asset.
