How to earn by opening a crypto account

The promos that pay you — in euros or crypto — to open an account, deposit or get referred. Here you don’t find the advertised number (“up to $10,000”): you find the real net value a user in Italy can actually pocket, with the conditions and expiry laid out.

Net figure computed on a reference scenario of €500 deposit/spend. Where shown, “up to €X” is the ceiling reachable with larger amounts.

The top 5 earning bonuses right now

Ranked by real net gain. By opening an account, depositing or via referral.

Boosted cashback (time-limited)

Not an opening bonus: it’s higher cashback for an initial period. You earn by spending, not just by opening.

⚠ These bonuses you can’t claim in Italy

Huge numbers circulating online but, after MiCA came into force (1 July 2026), worth zero for an Italian user.

  • Binance «$100» → €0

    Left the EU/Italy on 1 July 2026 (MiCA application withdrawn): new sign-ups and bonuses unavailable.

  • KuCoin «$11.000» → €0

    New EU sign-ups blocked by the regulator: a new Italian user cannot claim the bonus.

  • HTX «$1.500» → €0

    No CASP/MiCA licence: cannot legally serve Italian users.

How we verify

Each bonus shows its official source and verification date. We rank by the net you can actually claim, not by the advertised number. Expired promos are hidden automatically. Some entries are flagged “to re-check” when the official source isn’t fully confirmed: we never publish made-up figures. The CTA uses our affiliate link only where indicated, at no extra cost to you; this does not affect the ranking.
