Forgot the referral code?
Here’s what you can do.
Referral codes are set when you register. Whether you can still fix it depends on where your account is — find your situation below.
The short answer
- Not registered yet: use the referral link — the code fills in automatically.
- Just registered, no trades yet: look for “Enter referral code” in the Rewards Center and add it right away.
- Older account / no option: the code can’t be changed; you’d need a new registration (see below).

How to check if you can still add it
- Log in to the OKX app with your new account.
- Open the Rewards Center, or tap your avatar to open your profile.
- Look for “Enter referral code” or similar. If it’s there, enter OK66688 and confirm.
Whether the option appears and how long it lasts is decided by OKX. The sooner you check, the better.
If your account isn’t verified yet
- Use an email or phone number that has never been registered on OKX;
- Register through the referral link and confirm the code shows OK66688;
- Verify the new account and stop using the old one.
If your account is already verified
- Withdraw all assets to a wallet or another platform (send a small test first);
- Request account closure in the app’s account settings;
- Once closed, register again through the referral link and verify with your own ID.
Make sure all funds are out and no orders are open — closure is permanent. Re-verification is at OKX’s discretion. Never use another person’s identity.
Is it worth it? Run your numbers in the fee calculator — active traders usually save a lot.
Referral code
FAQ.
01Can I add an OKX referral code after signing up?
Referral relationships are normally set at registration. If your account is brand new, check the Rewards Center or your profile for an option to enter a referral code — if it’s there, enter OK66688. If not, it can’t be added.
02Can I change the referral code on an existing account?
No. Once a referral relationship is set, or the window to add one has passed, it cannot be changed.
03My account is already verified. Can I register again?
One identity can verify one account. You can withdraw all funds, request account closure in the app, and after it’s closed register again with OK66688. Whether re-verification is allowed is up to OKX — never use someone else’s identity.
04How do I know the referral code worked?
If the referral field showed OK66688 when you submitted the form, it’s linked. After trading, compare the fee charged in your order details with the standard rate.
