Bybit Referral Program: How to earn commissions?

Understanding the Bybit Referral Program Structure

1. Every registered Bybit user receives a unique referral link upon account activation.

2. This link contains a personalized referral code tied to the user’s account and wallet address.

3. When a new user signs up using that link, the system automatically attributes the registration to the referrer.

4. The referral relationship remains active for the lifetime of the referred user’s account unless manually revoked.

5. Commission eligibility begins immediately after the referred user completes KYC Level 1 verification.

Commission Calculation Mechanisms

1. Bybit calculates commissions based on the trading fee revenue generated by referred users on perpetual and inverse futures contracts.

2. Referrers earn 30% of the maker fees and 60% of the taker fees paid by their referrals on eligible derivatives markets.

3. Fee sharing applies only to trades executed on Bybit’s native matching engine—not third-party liquidity or OTC desks.

4. Commissions are settled hourly in USDT and credited directly to the referrer’s main account balance.

5. There is no cap on total commission earnings, nor any minimum trade volume threshold required from the referred user.

Eligibility and Account Requirements

1. Referrers must maintain an active Bybit account with at least one completed deposit or trade in the past 90 days.

2. Referred users must complete identity verification (KYC Level 1) before any commission accrues.

3. Accounts flagged for suspicious activity—including duplicate registrations, bot-driven signups, or Sybil behavior—are excluded from commission distribution.

4. Referrers cannot refer themselves using alternate accounts; such attempts trigger automatic disqualification.

5. Commission payouts are suspended if either party’s account enters a restricted status due to regulatory compliance actions.

Tracking and Performance Analytics

1. The Bybit Referral Dashboard displays real-time metrics including total referred users, active traders, and cumulative commission earned.

2. Historical data is available for the past 180 days, segmented by day, week, and month.

3. Each referred user’s trading volume, fee contribution, and last login timestamp are visible in the detailed view.

4. Referrers can export raw CSV files containing full transaction logs for external reconciliation.

5. The dashboard updates every 15 minutes and reflects fee settlements within two hours of trade execution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I change my referral code after it has been generated?A: No. Bybit assigns a permanent referral code during initial account setup. It cannot be edited, regenerated, or reassigned.

Q: Do spot trading fees generate referral commissions?A: No. Only derivatives trading fees—specifically perpetual and inverse futures—qualify for commission sharing under the current program rules.

Q: What happens if a referred user deletes their account?A: All commission history associated with that user remains intact up to the point of deletion. No retroactive adjustments occur.

Q: Is there a minimum withdrawal amount for referral commissions?A: Yes. Users must accumulate at least 10 USDT in commission balance before initiating a withdrawal request.
