Kraken review

Kraken pays 20% lifetime revenue share, so the payout is a share of what referred traders generate rather than a fixed amount per signup. The model is listed as revshare, which means earnings follow trading activity over time. A publisher with a large but inactive audience earns less here than on a per-registration deal.

The window is 180, which puts Kraken at 6 of 129 brands ranked on cookie length, and well past the crypto listings whose upper quartile sits at 75. A long window lets a reader read a guide, open an account and deposit later, which is normal in crypto.

Yes, recurring commission is part of the deal, and the 20% lifetime revenue share lasts for the life of the referral. Most programmes on the directory pay on the initial conversion only, at 55.5%, while Kraken keeps paying as the referred account trades. That suits publishers with evergreen content rather than a single campaign push.

Payouts run monthly through Impact, the network the programme sits on (Impact). A monthly cycle suits a publisher building a steady referred base, since commission accrues quietly between runs. Publishers who want a payment per milestone on a faster cycle would be better served by Qonto, which pays CPA per registration plus KYB bonus.

The region is listed as global, so the programme reaches past a single market and readers in other countries can be covered. Publishers running a single link set across several regions can still use it. Compare that with directories where 18.2% of crypto programmes are tied to a single country.

The programme supports direct and referral links, so a tracked link can sit inside a written review and a referral code can sit in a video or newsletter. Both routes are covered by the same window of 180. The offer is crypto, so the placement has to be about digital assets for either link type to convert.

Kraken pays revshare commission on referred trading, while Qonto pays CPA per registration plus KYB bonus and Admitad pays 5% per sale. A per-sale or per-registration deal pays sooner on a smaller audience. Revenue share pays more over time only when the referral keeps trading, so audience quality matters more than size.

Probably not. The offer covers crypto, and crypto is the vertical for 100% of the crypto listings, so a general finance publisher has no relevant offer to place. Banking traffic is better served by a programme such as Qonto, which pays CPA per registration plus KYB bonus for account registrations.

Kraken scores 7 overall, with the offer part at 9.4 and the cost part at 4.6. The offer carries the strength, which fits a revenue share paired with a 180 window, while the cost part sits lower. Revenue share is common in the category, at 56.5%.
