Where "verified" and "main code" come from
Pages that promote one code often call it "verified", "main" or "the official code". Fomo's help center describes no verification of user codes and no main code: one referral discount, 10%, for every code. Those labels come from the page's author, not from Fomo. Source: Fomo: how referral codes and fee discounts work.
How to check any code yourself
- Open fomo.family/r/ plus the code on the phone you'll trade on, before you sign up.
- After your first trade, check the fee line: 0.45% means a referral discount is on.
- Don't rely on the invite screen: "… invited you to join fomo" appears for any text after fomo.family/r/, even a made-up name.
- For extras such as cashback, look for published terms and payout proof.
