I’ll be honest. When I first started in crypto I was extremely skeptical of everything.
I wanted to get as much free Bitcoin and crypto as I could because I am cheap and I didn’t want to risk any of my money. Getting free bonuses made things feel less scary.
Based on the last few years of my experience in crypto here is what I would do again to get as much free Bitcoin as possible.
Shakepay ShakingSATS
Shakepay ShakingSATs is the best deal in Canadian crypto. It is literally too good to be true. Take advantage of it while you can because I don’t think it is going to be around forever.
ShakingSats is a secret program that Shakepay runs. To get free Bitcoin from Shakepay you need to:
- Sign up to Shakepay and verify your account using a referral link (Use: https://shakepay.me/r/FM8INVL).
- Deposit and trade at least $100 within 30 days.
- Shake your phone every day.
When you shake your phone – Shakepay will reward you with Satoshis (the smallest unit of a Bitcoin).
The more days in a row you shake your phone, the longer your shaking streak becomes. The amount of Bitcoin you are rewarded will grow as your streak increases. It maxes out currently on day 365 of shaking to earn 1000 sats.
This is about twenty to fifty cents a day (depending on the price of Bitcoin.)
I have personally earned over a million sats (Satoshis) from Shakepay by just shaking my phone daily for years now. This is equal to a few hundred dollars in free Bitcoin.
If you miss a day of shaking and breaking your steak will reset and you will have to start from day 1 again. Read my full guide on ShakingSats.
Crypto Exchange Sign-Up Bonus Promo Codes
Most exchanges offer a signup bonus when you use a referral link to sign up. Find the best crypto bonus referral promos.
When you sign up using a referral link or code
- you will need to verify your account
- make a minimum deposit
- buy crypto within 30 days to qualify for a bonus
To maximize the free Bitcoin I got using referral sign-up bonuses was to each month using a new exchange and making the minimum purchase required to get the bosun.
This fits my crypto strategy to buy a small amount of Bitcoin each month over a period of years and get some free Bitcoin because I am thrifty like that.
Coinbase Learning Rewards
Coinbase will give you free crypto rewards for learning about different cryptocurrency and their use cases. Followed by a short multiple-choice exam.
Once you complete the short quiz the crypto will instantly be deposited into your account where you will be able to trade it or withdraw it to your wallet (min. required).
This is how actually got my first crypto. I had created a Coinbase account a while back but I was never able to fund it.
There is no minimum deposit amount required to qualify for this program. New coin quizzes are added occasionally so you will need to check the Coinbase learning rewards page for new bonuses.
VirgoCX Sign-Up Bonus
VirgoCX will give you $5 when you sign-up and verify your account. No deposit is required.
When you make your first fiat deposit of $100 CAD or more, you will get an extra $15 CAD for a total referral bonus of $20.
Bitcoin Rewards Cards

Shakepay, Netcoins, Wealthsimple, and Crypto.com offer physical and digital prepaid/cash Visa and MasterCard cards that allow you to earn Bitcoin rewards when you make purchases with them.
These cards can be used wherever Visa or MasterCard are accepted.
Refer a Friend Programs
Refer your friends to your favorite crypto exchange. Find your link to share with friends in the settings of your account.
When your friend uses your link you each will earn a free rewards bonus. It’s a win-win for you and your friend.
Your friend will need to make the minimum deposit/trade for you each to get the bonus. Usually within 30 days of signing up.
Once I had signed up for an exchange, made a deposit, got the bonus, and withdrew my crypto from the exchange — my friends were happy to use my referral codes because they knew it wasn’t a scam.
