How to join Moon.com in three steps
From zero to your first wager in about two minutes — including the one detail about the referral code that trips everyone up.
Click the link first
Moon's signup form has a referral code field — click the referral link first and code 10USD arrives pre-filled. Check the field during signup; if it's empty, enter 10USD manually before you create the account. Register in the same browser.
Create your account
Register on moon.com — email and password, the usual. The stored code binds to your account at creation. That's the only moment a code can attach, so don't skip step one.
Fund & place your first bet
Deposit to your available balance (see moon.com for supported methods). Then: pick a market, set a wager, slide the leverage, choose up or down. Your live P&L is already net of fees.
Before you join: the checklist
- Are you 18+ (or your local legal gambling age)? Required.
- Is your jurisdiction allowed? Moon prohibits certain regions — the US is listed as prohibited in their Terms of Service. Check the ToS for your country before registering.
- Do you need an invite? No — the beta gate is gone and registration is open to everyone: Moon beta code, explained.
- Do you have the code attached? Click the link first — code 10USD can't be added from a settings page later.
- Is your stake money you can lose? On Moon the max loss is always the wager — treat every wager as potentially gone the moment you place it.
Your first wager: a sane way to start
- Start at low leverage. 1×–10× lets you learn the mechanics without a 0.1% wick ending the bet instantly.
- Watch the bust line. Moon shows the adverse move that settles the bet. Know it before you click.
- Mind the rolling fee. Holding across 8-hour intervals costs extra — see the fee breakdown.
- Size for the bust. At 1000× leverage, treat the wager as a lottery ticket, not a position.
Common signup problems
I registered without the code. Can I add it?
Codes attach at registration. If you missed the referral code field during signup, contact Moon support about their re-attribution policy. Next time: click the link first, then check the field shows 10USD before you create the account.
The link didn't seem to do anything — is that normal?
Yes. Clicking the referral link just stores the code in your browser; there's no popup or confirmation. Register in the same browser and it binds at account creation.
Do I need KYC to join Moon?
Requirements can vary by region and withdrawal level — check Moon's help center for the current verification policy before depositing.
Can I join from the US?
No — the US is listed as a prohibited jurisdiction in Moon's Terms of Service. Don't try to bypass geo-restrictions; accounts can be closed and funds frozen.
Ready? Two minutes.
Click the link, register, fund, pick up or down. Code 10USD attaches automatically.
18+. High risk. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
