Bitget Affiliate FAQ for beginners

1. Basics

Q1: What is the Bitget affiliate program?

In simple terms, it is Bitget's official referral and commission program. You invite new users to sign up and trade on Bitget through your unique referral link, and whenever they generate transaction fees, you earn a percentage of those fees as commission.

It is suitable for three types of people:

1. Social media influencers: You have at least 100 followers on platforms such as YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, or Instagram.

2. Community admins: You own or manage a community with at least 500 members on platforms like Telegram, Facebook, or any other social network.

3. Active crypto members: You are an active and influential member of at least five crypto communities.

Q2: How long can I earn commissions?

Lifetime commissions. As long as users sign up through your link, you can earn commissions on every eligible trade they make. This relationship is permanent. There is no need to renew it every year, and it will not expire over time.

Q3: Does it cost anything to join?

No. Joining is completely free. There is no security deposit, membership fee, or upfront payment required. Once your application is approved, you can start promoting immediately. All your earnings come from transaction fee commissions allocated by the platform. There is no "pay-to-earn" model.

Q4: How is this different from a regular referral program?

A regular referral program is typically focused on one-time referral rewards. It usually offers a one-time bonus or short-term commission, with limited data visibility and little additional support.

The Bitget affiliate program is designed as a long-term income stream:

• Earn lifetime commissions on every eligible trade

• Track users and commissions in real time through a dedicated dashboard

• Access marketing materials, exclusive promotions, and one-on-one BD support

Q5: What is the maximum rebate rate?

You can earn up to 50% of transaction fees as commission, which is among the highest rates in the industry. The exact rate depends on your affiliate level and promotional performance.

2. Promotion and tools

Q6: Where can I find my promotion link after my application is approved?

Log in to the Affiliate portal and go to the Promotion Center, where you can:

• Generate your dedicated promotion link

• Get your exclusive referral code

• View affiliate-only promotions and activities

Q7: How can I tell whether my promotions are performing well?

The dashboard includes two key sections:

• Referral Center: View the number of users you have invited, their signup status, whether they have completed identity verification, and their trading activity.

• Profit Center: View commission details, settlement records, fee currencies, and your daily earnings trends.

These dashboards help you identify which referral channels are performing well and which ones need improvement.

Q8: Is there a limit on how many people I can invite?

No. You can invite as many users as you want, and there is no cap on your commissions. Many top affiliates have hundreds of thousands of active users.

Q9: Does Bitget provide promotional materials?

Yes. The Resource Center in the Affiliate Portal provides:

• Official posters in multiple languages

• Promotional videos

• Product introduction graphics and articles

• Promotional banners

• Exclusive influencer interviews and curated media coverage

You can download and use these materials directly without designing anything yourself.

Q10: What is the best way to promote?

There is no single standard answer, because everyone has different traffic sources and content strengths. The best strategy is not to chase trending platforms, but to find the channel that suits you best and double down on it.

If you are good at writing and logical analysis, blogs, Medium articles, or long-form posts are a great fit. With proper SEO optimization—for example, by creating content such as "Bitget futures trading tutorial"—your articles can rank on Google for years and generate steady long-term traffic.

If you are good at video creation or presenting ideas, YouTube tutorials and short-form videos on TikTok or Shorts tend to work best. Video content helps build trust, and conversion rates are often higher than text-only content.

If you are good at networking and community engagement, X, Telegram, or Discord groups can become your primary channel. By sharing timely market updates, airdrop analysis, and daily discussions, you can build a highly engaged audience.

If you are a community manager, consider building your own high-quality VIP group and offering exclusive strategies or trading signals. Because trust is strongest in these communities, your recommendations often convert more consistently.

Focus on the channel you are best at instead of trying to be active on every platform at once.

3. Commissions and settlement

Q11: Which currency will my commissions be paid in?

There are two settlement options:

Option 1: Settlement in USDT

Except for BTC, ETH, USDC, and USDT, all transaction fee commissions are automatically converted into USDT before payout. This option is suitable for users who prefer simpler asset management and unified earnings.

Option 2: Settlement in the original fee currency

You receive commissions in the same currency as the transaction fees generated by your referred users.

In short: choose Option 1 if you prefer USDT payouts; choose Option 2 if you want to accumulate other crypto assets while earning commissions.

Q12: How often are commissions settled?

Commissions are settled daily based on the previous day's activity. Earnings are credited to your Bitget spot account starting from 3:30 PM (UTC+8) the following day. No manual action is required.

Q13: Can I build a sub-affiliate network?

Yes. You can upgrade directly referred users into sub-affiliates and earn commissions from the transaction fees generated by users invited by your sub-affiliates. This means your earnings can come not only from direct referrals, but also from your broader affiliate network.

Q14: Which trades do not generate commissions?

We don't credit commissions for:

• Zero-fee trades

• Trades with rebate cards (commissions will be credited in the form of rebate cards)

• Trades with special fee rates

Q15: How do I view and withdraw my commissions?

Log in to the Affiliate Portal → Profit Center to view your commissions.

Commissions are automatically credited to your Bitget spot account starting from 3:30 PM (UTC+8) the following day. No manual action is required.

4. Security and compliance

Q16: Is Bitget safe?

Security is one of Bitget's core strengths:

• Proof of Reserves: Bitget publishes Merkle Tree Proof of Reserves reports every month. User assets are fully backed 1:1, and anyone can independently verify the reserves using open-source tools. → View the Proof of Reserves page

• Protection Fund: As of July 2025, the Protection Fund was valued at $779.7 million and is designed to help safeguard user assets during extreme market conditions. → View announcement

• Cold and hot wallet separation: Most assets are stored in offline cold wallets to reduce the risk of hacking.

• Third-party audits: Bitget regularly engages security firms such as CertiK and SlowMist to conduct security audits.

Q17: Does Bitget hold regulatory licenses?

Yes. Bitget has obtained regulatory licenses and registrations in multiple countries and regions worldwide, covering different product lines such as spot trading, futures trading, and Web3 services.

Q18: Do I need to complete identity verification?

Yes. You do not need to complete identity verification to apply as an affiliate, but identity verification is required before withdrawing commissions. This helps protect account security and ensures compliance with global anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.

Q19: Will my personal information as an affiliate be made public?

No. Your personal identity information and promotional data are kept confidential. The only public identifiers used for promotion are your referral link and referral code.

Q21: Is there a high barrier to becoming an affiliate?

No. Bitget's requirements are highly accessible. As long as you have at least 100 followers or equivalent proof of influence, you can apply to become an affiliate. You do not need to be a major influencer with millions of followers or generate massive monthly trading volume.

Q22: Who should I contact if I run into technical issues while promoting?

Recommended priority order:

1. Affiliate Portal — Check the FAQ and tutorials.

2. Bitget customer support — Submit a support ticket. Bitget's 24/7 customer support team is always available to assist you.

3. Dedicated affiliate manager — Once your affiliate business reaches a certain level, you may receive one-on-one BD support.

4. Affiliate community — Join the official affiliate community group to connect and exchange ideas with other affiliates. After becoming an affiliate, you can find the Telegram group in the Affiliate Portal.

Q23: Can I be an affiliate for multiple exchanges at the same time?

Yes. Bitget does not restrict you from promoting other platforms. However, it is generally recommended to focus on one or two platforms, because every platform has different policies, tools, and commission structures. Spreading yourself too thin can make it harder to build meaningful results.

Q24: What happens if my promotional methods do not comply with the rules?

Bitget has clear promotional guidelines. The following actions may result in the termination of your affiliate status:

• False or misleading promotions, such as promising guaranteed returns

• Use of unauthorized materials or brand assets

• Malicious wash trading or fraudulent activity

• Promotional methods that violate local laws or regulations

We recommend reviewing the official rules before starting your promotions to ensure compliance.
