Gate existing account: adding or changing an invitation code
We found no official Gate help page that allows adding or changing an invitation code after registration, and no recall program. Treat the signup form as the only chance and ask official Gate support about an existing account.

Your options, rule by rule
Add a code after signup — No official rule found
Gate’s registration help page describes residence, email or phone, verification code and password, without an invitation-code field or a later-binding process.

Affiliate recall / rebind link — No official rule found
We found no official Gate recall or rebind program for exchange accounts. (Gate Web3 wallet rules are separate and do not apply to exchange accounts.)

Questions about existing accounts
Can I add a Gate invitation code after registering?
Gate’s help pages describe no method. Ask official Gate support about your specific account.
Do the Gate Web3 wallet’s 7-day invitation rules apply to the exchange?
No. That rule is for the Gate Web3 wallet, not for Gate exchange accounts.
Should I close my Gate account to use a new code?
We do not recommend it: no official rule says it works, and closing an account can affect assets, records and identity verification.
