Why Does Your OKX Invite Code Show As Invalid?
If you get an 'Invite code invalid' prompt when using OKX, there are usually only three core reasons: you entered the code incorrectly, your account/wallet has already been bound to another invite code, or the code you are using is not valid for the specific product scenario you are accessing. Below is a complete step-by-step troubleshooting and resolution guide.

Check: Did you type the code incorrectly? (The Most Common Cause)
The OKX system strictly verifies the format and accuracy of all invite codes you enter on the page. Any single mismatched character will trigger an invalid error message.
What to do: Double check your invite code to confirm all characters are entered correctly.
How to do it:
Case sensitivity: Most OKX invite codes are not case-sensitive, but extra spaces or hidden special symbols are often added accidentally when you copy and paste. It is recommended to copy the code directly from the original official share source.
Length and format: If you entered the invite code manually, note that valid OKX invite codes are usually 5-15 digits of letters and numbers. Check if you have added extra characters or missed any part of the code.
Completion check: Confirm that every character you input fully matches the invite code you received. If you are not sure about the original code, ask the sharer to resend it to you.
Common failure reason: Most errors come from accidental typos when typing, or extra prefixes/suffixes dragged in when you copy the full invite link. Re-typing or re-pasting the code correctly will usually fix the issue immediately.
Check: Have you bound an invite code before? (Bound invite codes cannot be modified)
OKX uses a one-time invite code binding mechanism, once bound, you can not change or replace it with another code later.
What to do: Verify if your current wallet, device or account has already been bound to a different invite code previously.
How to do it:
Check your past operations: Recall if you clicked on other people's invite links before, or manually entered and confirmed a different referral code in the "Invite Management Center" of your account.
Multi-device sync note: If you switched to a new phone or new computer but imported the same wallet (via mnemonic phrase or private key), the previous invite binding relationship will be automatically synced. In this case, entering a new invite code will trigger an invalid prompt.
Completion check: Confirm clearly whether your current device, wallet, and OKX app version are already under a bound invite relationship.
Risk reminder: After you bind one invite code in the OKX App, any new wallet you add on the same device later may be automatically bound to the same invite code. Binding is irreversible, so please double check all details before confirming.
Check: Are you entering the code in the correct place? (Invite codes are scenario-specific)
OKX has two separate independent invite systems, and their codes are not interchangeable.
OKX Centralized Exchange (CEX): Codes for signing up a centralized trading account, which are usually filled in during the new user registration flow.
OKX Web3 Wallet (DEX): Codes for on-chain transaction fee rebates. These need to be manually bound in the "Invite Management Center" inside the wallet, or auto-bound on the transaction page.
What to do: Confirm that the invite code you hold is designed for the specific product you are currently using.
How to do it:
When registering an exchange account: Locate the dedicated "Invite Code" input box on the new user registration page.
When binding to your Web3 wallet: Open the OKX wallet app, navigate to the "Invite Management Center" or the trading order page to enter the code.
Completion check: Confirm whether the code you have is for opening a CEX exchange account, or for binding to your Web3 wallet to get transaction rebates.
Exception Case: The code itself is fake or already invalid
If you have confirmed that you entered the code correctly, you have never bound any invite code before, and you are using the code in the correct corresponding scenario, but you still get an invalid prompt, the code itself is most likely invalid or has been used up.
Possible causes:
Frozen or expired code: If the inviter's code is frozen by the system due to violations such as self-invitation or offline cashback fraud, it will show as invalid when you try to bind it.
Regional restrictions: Some invite programs have regional limits (for example, the OKX Singapore exclusive invite plan). If your region does not match the eligible region of the plan, the code will also fail to work.
Network issues: The shared invite link may fail to redirect properly due to network problems. If you manually modify the link domain name, the embedded invite code parameters may get lost.

Next Steps
If you have not finished your OKX registration yet and confirmed your invite code is correct, remember to enter the official valid code 24U2795 in the "Invite Code" field (you can not fill in or modify the invite code after registration is completed). If you already got the invalid prompt, check your account settings to confirm if there is already an existing invite binding relationship under your profile.
