Bitget Affiliate Program Review

Bitget pays affiliates 40% to 50% of referred users' net trading fees for the lifetime of each account, credited daily to your spot wallet — but only after you unlock the 40% rate with KYC and 10,000 USDT of invitee volume in 30 days.

Free to apply. Approval depends on your traffic sources and the program terms.

Commission
Default rate after approval is 0%. LV1 (activation: complete identity verification, invite users, reach 10,000 USDT combined invitee volume in any 30 consecutive days) = 40% on spot, futures, TradFi, Onchain and stocks. LV2 (≥50 trading users + 30,000,000 USDT monthly volume) = 45% spot/futures/TradFi, 40% Onchain/stocks. LV3 (≥100 trading users + 150,000,000 USDT monthly volume) = 50% spot/futures/TradFi, 40% Onchain/stocks. Only invitees' volume counts toward evaluation. Upgrades apply 03:00 UTC+8 next day; downgrades on the 1st of the next month; activated 40% holders are not downgraded while identity verification stays active. Commission is calculated on net fees; zero-fee trades, rebate-card trades and special-fee-rate trades earn nothing. Separate Broker program: 25% (new) to 50% (≥40M USDT spot / ≥300M USDT futures monthly volume), 5–12% on API users from other affiliates.

The Bitget affiliate program in one minute: 40% is earned, not given

Most exchange programs hand you a starting rate the day you are approved. Bitget does not. Under the current rules, every newly approved affiliate sits at a 0% default rate until they finish an activation task. Once you clear it, you get 40% of your referrals’ net trading feesTrading fees What an exchange charges per trade, usually a small percentage of the trade size. Most exchange affiliate commissions are a share of these fees. More for life — and you keep that 40% as long as your identity verification stays active, even if your volume dips later.

That single design choice shapes everything else on this page. Bitget’s headline “up to 50%” is real, but it belongs to a small group of large partners. For a typical creator or Telegram admin, the Bitget affiliate deal is a solid 40% lifetime revenue shareLifetime commission You keep earning from a referred user for as long as they stay active, with no end date written into the deal. More with daily payouts, gated behind a first-month volume target.

How the Bitget affiliate commission tiers work

Bitget evaluates you on two things: how many of your invitees actually trade, and how much they trade in a month. Only your direct invitees’ volume counts — your own trading does not move you up.

LevelWhat you needSpot, futures, TradFiOnchain & stocks
DefaultApproved application0%0%
LV1KYC + 10,000 USDT invitee volume in any 30 consecutive days40%40%
LV250+ trading users and 30,000,000 USDT monthly volume45%40%
LV3100+ trading users and 150,000,000 USDT monthly volume50%40%

Upgrades apply at 03:00 (UTC+8) the day after you qualify. Downgrades from LV2 or LV3 happen on the 1st of the following month. LV1 is sticky: once activated, you are not pushed back below 40% unless you cancel your identity verification, which drops you to 0% from the next month.

Stock perpetuals follow the futures rate. Onchain and stock products never go above 40%, so if your audience mostly trades memecoins on Bitget’s onchain section, the jump to LV3 adds nothing for those trades.

In plain English

"Net fees" means the fee Bitget actually keeps after discounts. Trades with zero fees, trades paid with rebate cards, and trades at special negotiated fee rates generate no commission at all. If your referral trades a zero-fee promo pair all month, you earn nothing from it.

The activation task: how to get past 0% quickly

The activation requirement is the part most Bitget affiliate reviews skip, and it is the one that decides whether the program pays you anything. You need three things inside any rolling 30-day window: completed identity verification (kycKYC Identity verification: users upload an ID (and often a selfie) before they can trade or withdraw. Many crypto commissions start only after KYC. More), invited users, and 10,000 USDT of combined invitee trading volumeTrading volume The total value of trades your referrals make. A $1,000 buy followed by a $1,000 sell adds up to $2,000 of volume. More.

10,000 USDT sounds large, but on futures it is modest. A single active futuresFutures Contracts that let traders bet on a coin's price, often with leverage, without owning the coin. They create high volume and high risk. More trader opening a few leveraged positions can clear it in days. Spot-only buyers making small monthly purchases will take far longer. Practical takeaway: time your first push around content that attracts people who already trade derivatives — a futures tutorial, a copy-tradingCopy trading A feature that automatically copies another trader's positions into a follower's account. More walkthrough, a market-structure stream — rather than a beginner “how to buy Bitcoin” guide.

Do the KYC part on day one. It is required both for activation and for withdrawing commissions later, so there is no reason to wait.

How to join the Bitget affiliate program

  1. Check your audience's location first. Bitget does not serve the US, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Austria, France, Germany and a long list of sanctioned regions. If most of your readers sit there, this program is the wrong fit.
  2. Register and verify a Bitget account. You apply with your existing account, and identity verification is needed for activation and withdrawals anyway.
  3. Apply on the affiliate page. Go to bitget.com/affiliates, submit your social or community links as proof of influence, and complete email verification. The form takes about a minute.
  4. Wait for review. Bitget reviews applications within one business day. Approved accounts start at 0%.
  5. Complete the activation task. Drive 10,000 USDT of invitee volume within 30 consecutive days to unlock 40%.
  6. Share your referral link or code. Users are bound to you at registration, and commissions start landing in your spot account on T+1.

Bitget affiliate login and dashboard

People searching “Bitget affiliate login” usually want one of two things: the portal itself, or a way to see their numbers. There is no separate affiliate account. You sign in to Bitget with your normal credentials and open the affiliate portal, which shows real-time rebate tracking and a daily commission breakdown. From there you can also upgrade a directly referred user to a sub-affiliateSub-affiliate An affiliate you recruit into a program. You earn an extra commission on what they bring in, on top of your own direct referrals. More and earn from the fees of the users they bring in. Bitget does not publish the sub-affiliate rate; it appears inside the portal.

What the dashboard does not advertise: sub-IDsSubID An extra label you add to your affiliate link to record where a click came from — a page, banner, ad or Telegram post. More, an API or postbackPostback A server-to-server message the program sends to your tracker when a conversion happens, so you see sign-ups and deposits as they occur. More tracking. If you run paid traffic and need conversion data in your own tracker, ask your affiliate manager before you scale. Our tracking and postback guide covers the workarounds people use when an exchange only offers link-level stats.

Getting paid: daily USDT credits to your spot account

Commissions for most products are settled T+1 at 10:00 (UTC+8) and credited to your Bitget spot account. Stock+ trades settle on T+2. You choose between two payout options:

  • USDT — fees paid in anything other than BTC, ETH, USDC or USDT are converted to USDT.
  • Original fee currency — you receive whatever coin the user paid fees in.

Bitget does not publish a minimum payoutMinimum payout The smallest balance you must earn before the program pays you. Earnings below it usually roll over to the next period. More. Since the money arrives in your exchange wallet rather than a bank, the practical threshold is whatever the withdrawal fee makes worthwhile on your chosen network.

Fact check

Bitget's official pages disagree on payout timing. The Affiliate Program Policy still says commissions are "typically paid weekly or monthly", while the current commission rules and the Academy FAQ describe daily T+1 settlement. We report the daily schedule because it comes from the newer rule set — check your portal's commission history to confirm.

Affiliate, Broker or invite promotion: which Bitget program fits you

Bitget runs three separate ways to earn from referrals, and picking the wrong one costs money.

The user invite promotion is for ordinary users. It pays fixed rewards — BTC airdrops and Mystery Boxes advertised at up to 1,500 USDT for both inviter and invitee — when a friend completes deposit and trading tasks within 15 days. There is no ongoing share of fees, and it cannot be combined with other time-limited referral campaigns.

The affiliate program is the one this review covers: 40–50% of net fees, for life, with sub-affiliates and daily payouts.

The Broker program targets API-driven businesses such as trading-bot platforms. It has six tiers from 25% for new brokers up to 50% at 40,000,000 USDT monthly spot or 300,000,000 USDT monthly futures volume, with the first upgrade at 100,000 USDT of monthly futures volume. Brokers also earn 5–12% on API users who came through other affiliates. If you run a bot or a terminal rather than a content channel, compare the two before applying. The revenue share vs CPA guide helps you model which structure pays more for your volume.

Traffic rules that get Bitget affiliates removed

Bitget’s affiliate policy is specific, which is useful — you know where the lines are.

Watch out

Buying brand keywords such as "Bitget login" on search ads is banned, as is anything that impersonates Bitget. Given how much search demand sits on Bitget's brand terms, this is the rule PPC affiliates break most often.

Also prohibited: phishing-style pages, self-referrals from the same IP or device, multiple accounts, inviting users who already have a Bitget account, wash trading, using unofficial APIs to capture regional rebates, and any misleading claim such as guaranteed returns. Promoting to Bitget’s Prohibited Countries is a violation in itself, so geo-target your ads and add country disclaimers to content that ranks globally. The crypto traffic sources guide explains which channels survive these rules.

On the plus side, the program is non-exclusive. You can review and promote competing exchanges on the same site or channel.

Who the Bitget affiliate program suits — and who should skip it

Good fit:

  • Futures-focused creators, signal channels and trading communities whose members will clear 10,000 USDT in the first month without effort.
  • Small creators with 100+ followers or a 500-member group who want a low application bar.
  • Community leaders who can recruit their own sub-affiliates.

Skip it if:

  • Your audience is mainly in the US, Canada, Germany, France or Japan.
  • You run beginner spot content where invitees buy a little and hold — you may never leave 0%.
  • You need server-to-server tracking for media buying and cannot get it confirmed by a manager.

Conversion tips for Bitget referrals

Lead with what Bitget is known for: futures and copy trading. Tutorials that walk through opening a first copy-trade, or comparing futures fee schedules, attract users who generate fees from week one. Pair that with the LV1 math — you need users who trade, not just users who register.

Use the promo library (banners, infographics, tutorials) for speed, but write your own explainers. Generic banners rarely convert in crypto audiences that see the same creatives everywhere. And because Bitget pays in the original fee currency if you want, futures-heavy audiences paying fees in USDT give you clean stablecoin income without conversion slippage.

Verdict on the Bitget affiliate program

Bitget is a strong lifetime revenue share once you are past the gate, with daily T+1 payouts and clear traffic rules. The 0% default is the catch: it filters out low-activity affiliates and makes the first 30 days decisive. If your audience trades futures, you will hit 40% fast and keep it as long as your KYC stays valid. If it doesn’t, start with a program that pays from day one.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Bitget affiliate program pay?

Approved affiliates start at 0%. Completing the activation task (identity verification plus 10,000 USDT of combined invitee trading volume in any 30 consecutive days) unlocks 40% on spot, futures, TradFi, Onchain and stock products. LV2 pays 45% on spot, futures and TradFi with 50+ trading users and 30,000,000 USDT monthly volume; LV3 pays 50% with 100+ trading users and 150,000,000 USDT. Onchain and stock products stay at 40% at every tier.

How do I log in to the Bitget affiliate dashboard?

There is no separate affiliate username. You sign in with your regular Bitget account at bitget.com and open the affiliate portal from bitget.com/affiliates once your application is approved. Always type the domain yourself: Bitget bans affiliates from bidding on terms like 'Bitget login' precisely because fake login pages are a phishing risk.

Is the Bitget affiliate program free to join?

Yes. Applying costs nothing and takes about a minute. You need either 100+ followers on a social platform, a community of 500+ members, or active membership in 5+ crypto communities. Bitget reviews applications within one business day.

What is the difference between the Bitget affiliate and referral programs?

The user invite promotion pays fixed rewards such as BTC airdrops and Mystery Boxes when a friend completes deposit and trading tasks within 15 days. The affiliate program pays an ongoing 40–50% share of invitees' fees for the lifetime of their accounts, adds sub-affiliates and pays daily. See our crypto referral programs overview for how the two models compare across exchanges.

Can I promote Bitget to US or German audiences?

No. The United States, Canada, Germany, France, Austria, Japan, Singapore, Thailand and several other countries are on Bitget's Prohibited Countries list, and promoting to users there breaks the affiliate policy. Our compliance guide explains how to handle mixed-geo audiences.
