Risk warning: Trading carries a high risk of losing money, especially with leveraged products such as CFDs. A bonus does not reduce that risk. Only deposit what you can afford to lose.

Availability
Checking availability…The catch
Referee must complete at least USD $100 / EUR €100 / AUD $100 in revenue-generating trades (Instant Buy/Sell/Convert, OTC, Active Trader, or derivatives) within 30 days of sign-up; these trade types carry Gemini's markup/spread fees, so meeting the requirement is not free. Deposits, withdrawals, stablecoin-to-stablecoin conversions, and certain/tokenized-stock derivatives do NOT count.
How to claim
- Open and verify a Gemini account (existing referrer) or create a new account through a friend's referral link (referee).
- Referee opens the Rewards tab in the Gemini app and shares or uses a personal referral link.
- Referee trades at least $100 (USD) in revenue-generating trades within the first 30 days after sign-up.
- Both accounts must be open, active, and in good standing at payout.
- Gemini credits $50 in the crypto of your choice to each side roughly 32 days after sign-up.
Full review
Gemini's referral program pays a flat $50 in crypto to both the existing customer and the new user they refer. The new user signs up through a referral link, completes account verification, and then trades at least $100 in their first 30 days.
Each side picks which cryptocurrency they receive, and the reward is credited about 32 days after sign-up so Gemini can confirm the activity is legitimate. The catch is the $100 trading requirement, not just a deposit. Only revenue-generating trades count: Instant Buy/Sell/Convert, OTC, Active Trader, and derivatives.
Plain deposits and withdrawals, stablecoin conversions, and tokenized stock derivatives are excluded. Both accounts must stay open, active, and in good standing through the payout date, or neither side gets paid. Gemini also caps total referral earnings at $1,500 (or the local-currency equivalent) per resident.
Eligibility is limited and the amount varies by region. The $50 figure applies to the United States, Hong Kong, and New Zealand. Australia gets AUD $50, and EU countries get EUR €20 instead. The offer is for new Gemini Exchange users who have not signed up before, and only individual accounts qualify (institutional and joint accounts are excluded).
Pros
- +Both the referrer and the new user each receive $50, not just one side.
- +Reward is paid in the crypto of your choice and is freely withdrawable.
- +Trading requirement is a low $100, with no separate minimum deposit specified.
Cons
- −Requires $100 in actual trades, not just a deposit, within 30 days.
- −Reward amount is lower outside the US (EUR 20 in the EU).
- −Payout is delayed about 32 days and both accounts must stay in good standing.
- −The qualifying $100 must be in fee-bearing 'revenue-generating' trades (Instant Buy/Sell/Convert, OTC, Active Trader, derivatives), so you pay Gemini's markup/spread to meet the requirement, a deposit alone never qualifies.
- −The $50 headline only applies in the US, Hong Kong, and New Zealand; the entire EU/EEA earns just EUR 20 (under half), and the listed eligibleCountries field omits the ~29 EU/EEA countries that actually qualify.
- −Mutual forfeiture: if either the referrer's or the referee's account is closed or out of good standing before the ~32-day payout, neither side is paid, your reward depends on the other person's account status.
