Why isn't my BingX referral code working?

Usually because the account no longer qualifies. After sign-up, BingX only accepts a referral code in the My Referrer section, and only while the account has made no deposit (crypto sent from another platform and Buy Crypto both count) and hasn't invited anyone; once a code is bound, it can't be changed or removed. A code typed into any other field does nothing. If your account no longer qualifies, the reliable fix is a new account through the correct link — BingX's own KYC transfer carries over the verification you've already completed.

Where BingX still reads a code after sign-up

BingX reads a referral code at sign-up and, after that, in one place only: the My Referrer section. In the app, tap your avatar, then the arrow next to it to open Profile Settings, then My Referrer; on the web, it's under Account & Security. That section accepts a code only while the account has made no deposit — crypto sent from another platform and a Buy Crypto purchase both count — and hasn't invited anyone to BingX. Once a code is bound, BingX says it can't be changed or removed, and it decides who receives the referral commission. Step by step: adding a BingX referral code after registration →

The usual reasons it looks broken

  • The account already made a deposit or invited someone. The most common case: after the first deposit (Buy Crypto included) or the first invite, My Referrer no longer accepts a code.
  • The account already has a referrer. If you signed up through a different link before, the account is bound to that referrer, and BingX doesn't let a new code replace it.
  • You typed the code somewhere it isn't read. Some screens show promo codes for unrelated boosts — use the referral field during sign-up or the My Referrer section afterwards, not a different code box.

If your account no longer qualifies

If the account has already deposited, invited someone, or is bound to another referrer, its binding stays as it is. The reliable path is opening a new account through the correct link — BingX's own KYC transfer guide covers carrying over identity verification you've already completed, so re-verifying from scratch isn't necessary. Treat it as a move: transfer your funds and trade on the new account only — keeping a second account of your own to refer yourself isn't eligible for payback under loweef's terms.

If you're starting fresh

Create the account through the referral link before signing up, so attribution is correct from the first trade. On loweef's BingX partnership the current total is 60% of every trading fee, accruing daily in USDT from the first trade, no volume minimum:

Frequently asked questions

Can I add a referral code to my BingX account after signing up without one?

Yes, if the account hasn't made any deposit (Buy Crypto included) and hasn't invited anyone yet: enter it in My Referrer — Profile Settings in the app, Account & Security on the web. Once bound, BingX says the code can't be changed or removed. If the account no longer qualifies, a new account through the correct link is the reliable path.

Could a typo explain it not working?

It can contribute — double-check you copied the code exactly. But the more common cause is eligibility: after sign-up, BingX only accepts a code in My Referrer, and only before the account's first deposit or invite.

Do I have to redo KYC if I open a new BingX account?

Not necessarily — BingX's own KYC transfer process lets you carry verification you've already completed over to a new account, so a fresh sign-up through the correct referral link doesn't mean starting identity verification from zero.
