Your Kalshi referral code belongs to your account. This guide, checked October 6, 2026, focuses on finding your code, sharing it accurately and distinguishing a referral record from an issued reward. Alphascope supplies no exclusive code and has not tested a paid referral claim.
Where to find your Kalshi referral code
Kalshi’s official referral FAQ points to Menu → Referrals for your unique link and personal code. Rewards shows the amount and requirements applicable to your account. The friend must sign up through the referral, verify their identity and meet the displayed trading condition.
Before sharing, compare the copied text with the account display. Keep the complete link if you are sharing a link; do not substitute an unrelated offer headline for its terms. The code identifies the referral, while the applicable offer explains qualification.
Track the stages separately
| Question | Evidence to retain |
|---|---|
| Which referral was shared? | The code or link you actually copied |
| Which program applies? | The terms displayed for that account |
| Has qualification finished? | The provider’s progress or qualification record |
| Was the reward issued? | The relevant credit entry or claim instruction |
This table is a recordkeeping checklist, not a description of every screen in Kalshi’s app. For example, a fictional “invited” record would show that an invitation exists; it would not independently prove a qualifying trade or credited award. Use evidence for the exact stage you are checking.
For referrers, the FAQ directs bonus-issued referrals to the referrals page or Invite Friends; credits usually post automatically, but some accounts show a claim step. Activity shows credit entries.
What an invalid or expired code means
Kalshi says to check exact spelling first. A persistent error can reflect expiry or referrer eligibility. Codes are fixed to an account and cannot be regenerated as a fresh code. Check with official support if the account message remains unclear.
Save the precise message and time rather than repeatedly trying modified versions. A different spelling is a different input, so it cannot establish that your original referral was accepted. Avoid sharing private account details in public code threads.
Limits, eligibility and credit expiry
The current FAQ limits incentives to US users and identifies a lifetime earnings cap shown in Rewards. It describes a seven-day credit use window unless otherwise specified. The original referral credit usually cannot be withdrawn; profits from its use can be. Verify the account’s exact terms.
Keep an award’s issue date and use-by date alongside your qualification record. Do not equate “available for trading” with cash you can withdraw, or infer a universal reward amount from another person’s screenshot. An award can change your available buying power without removing the risk to your own deposited funds.
If someone referred you
The signup recipient has a different question: was the correct code applied in time, and what actions does their own offer require? Our Kalshi promo-code guide explains code entry, the post-signup window, claim steps and the distinction between predictions and perps offers.
Before deciding to trade, understand the exact contract, execution price and fees. Use the profit calculator to explore hypothetical outcomes. A referral is an account-program question; it does not establish that a particular position is a good trade.
