Campaign Period
The promotion begins on 1 October 2024 at 13:00 AEST and will continue until OKX decides to end it at its sole discretion. To qualify, all required tasks must be completed within 14 days of account creation and during the active Campaign Period.
Step-by-Step Participation Guide
To be eligible for rewards, new users must complete specific tasks based on their registration date. Follow these steps carefully to ensure you receive your bonus.
For Users Who Register Before 16 November 2024
If you create your OKX Australia account before 16 November 2024, 12:00 AM AEDT, you can earn up to $20 AUD worth of BTC by completing both of the following:
- Complete KYC Identity Verification: Verify your identity through the Know Your Customer (KYC) process to receive $10 AUD worth of BTC.
- Make a First-Time Trade: Execute a single transaction of $100 AUD or more** in any tradable asset to receive an additional **$10 AUD worth of BTC.
Both actions must be completed within 14 days of signing up.
For Users Who Register On or After 16 November 2024
Users who join on or after 16 November 2024, 12:00 AM AEDT, benefit from a more accessible trading threshold:
- Complete KYC Identity Verification: Successfully pass the identity verification process.
- Make a First-Time Trade: Complete a single trade of $20 AUD or more** to receive **$20 AUD worth of BTC.
This updated structure lowers the entry barrier, making it easier for new traders to qualify for the full reward.

Key Risks and Important Disclosures
While earning rewards is exciting, it's essential to understand the risks involved in digital asset trading.
Market Volatility Warning
Digital asset prices—including Bitcoin—are highly volatile. The value of your holdings may fluctuate significantly between the time you qualify for a reward and when it's distributed. This means:
- You could receive BTC worth more—or less—than expected based on market movements.
- Past performance does not predict future results.
- You should never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Tax and Legal Responsibilities
All taxes, fees, and expenses related to receiving and using your reward are your sole responsibility. Consult a tax professional to understand your obligations under Australian law.
