Kalshi Referral Code Not Working? Common Reasons

The most likely reasons are timing and eligibility. Kalshi says a code can only be added within 72 hours of creating your account, and only if none is attached yet.

Check these first

• Your account is more than 72 hours old.
• Your account already has a code attached.
• You aren't a new user or don't meet the location rules.
• Your identity verification isn't finished.
• You haven't completed the qualifying activity before the deadline.
• The bonus needs to be claimed in the app.

Where to look

Open the Rewards section in your account to see your offer and its conditions. Kalshi says applying a code doesn't guarantee a bonus, so contact Kalshi support if the conditions are met and it still hasn't appeared.
