Bybit.eu (Bybit EU): Referral & Affiliate Programs explained

This page explains how the Bybit EU Referral Program works, what the Affiliate Program is about, how commissions are calculated, and what to watch for regarding fees. A working commission calculator is included below.

Please note: terms, rewards and percentages can change. Use this page as an explainer and always check the latest official Bybit EU pages.

Quick summary

High-level overview

Referral Program

Share a referral link/code. If your invitee becomes “qualified” (e.g., deposit + trading volume), you may earn rewards up to 115 USDC and referral trading commission up to 15% (up to 365 days per referee).

Affiliate Program

A partner-style program with an affiliate account and tracking. Typically requires approval/eligibility. Commission can go up to 50% depending on the plan/tiers.

Fees matter

Your commissions depend on the fees your referees/clients generate. Spot fees follow maker/taker + VIP structure. Always confirm your actual fee rate in the account (“My Fee Rate”) after verification.

Important: the Referral FAQ states that switching to the Affiliate Program means you will no longer receive Referral Program rewards.

What is Bybit EU?

Platform context

Bybit EU (Bybit.eu) is a European crypto platform offering spot trading and other services, plus user-acquisition programs like Referral and Affiliate. If you’re writing a review, it helps to separate “product features” (trading/fees) from “marketing programs” (referral/affiliate mechanics).

1

Create an account

Sign up (identity verification may be required for specific features and accurate fee-rate information).

2

Share your link

Share a referral code/link or (if approved) an affiliate link through your content or community.

3

Rewards / commissions

When your referees trade and generate fees, you may earn commission based on the program rules.

Regulation & trust

Why it matters

If you promote an exchange, readers often ask: “Is it operating under a clear regulatory framework?” Bybit EU has public information about MiCAR authorisation.

MiCAR authorisation (public record): Austria’s FMA published that Bybit EU GmbH was granted authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider pursuant to Article 63 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCAR), by an administrative decision dated 28 May 2025 (release date 30 May 2025).

Regulation is not a guarantee of profit or safety. Crypto remains volatile and operational risks exist. Always include a risk section and a clear disclosure in your content.

Bybit EU Referral Program

Rewards + trading commission

The Bybit EU Referral Program is an incentive program that rewards you and your invited friends when they complete certain tasks and trade.

Earnings

The official Referral FAQ describes rewards up to 115 USDC and trading commission up to 15% (tiered).

Commission duration

Referral trading commissions can be earned for up to 365 days after the referee registers (per the Referral FAQ).

Net trading fees

Commissions are calculated based on net trading fees (trading fee minus bonuses/fee-savers/credits/other discounts), settled in USDC.

What counts as a “Qualified Referee”?

  • Signs up via your referral link/code.
  • Makes a cumulative deposit of at least 100 USDC (or equivalent) within 7 days.
  • Accumulates a spot trading volume of at least 500 USDC within 30 days.
  • Zero-fee trading pairs may not count toward the program volume requirement.

How can the referral commission rate increase?

  • Starts at 5%.
  • 10%: invite 10 qualified referees within a quarter.
  • 15%: invite 50 qualified referees within a quarter.
  • Downgrade may apply if you invite fewer than a certain number of qualified referees within a quarter (as described in the FAQ).
Claim windows & checks: the Referral FAQ describes review/check periods and reward-claim validity windows. Always verify current rules in your Rewards Hub.

Bybit EU Affiliate Program

Partner program

The Affiliate Program is separate from referral mechanics. It typically targets partners/creators who want deeper tracking and a commission plan.

Eligibility & approval

The Bybit EU Affiliate Program Terms describe that you must be at least 18 and that the company can accept or reject applications at its discretion.

Commission mechanics

Commission is tied to fees generated by your referred clients and an applicable commission ratio/plan. Anti-abuse provisions can apply (e.g., self-trading via multiple accounts).

Disclosure obligation

The Terms describe an obligation to inform referred clients about commissions (where necessary). This is why your blog should include a clear disclosure section.

Country/region restrictions: the Bybit EU Affiliate Program Terms include restrictions on where affiliate activities are available. Notably, the Terms explicitly list many EU/EEA countries (including the Netherlands) as not open for affiliate activities, and also note certain jurisdictions where they do not conduct affiliate activities. Always check the latest Terms if affiliate eligibility is important for your situation.

Fees & costs (Bybit EU)

What to highlight in a review

Fees are the core driver of referral/affiliate commissions. In a practical review, it helps to cover spot fees, VIP tiers, deposit/withdrawal basics, and how discounts affect “net fees”.

Spot trading fees (baseline)

Bybit EU help-centre content describes a baseline of 0.1% maker and 0.1% taker for non‑VIP spot. VIP tiers may lower rates; fiat-crypto pairs can have different rates.

VIP structure

The Trading Fee Structure page shows VIP tiers with different maker/taker rates (e.g., VIP 0 spot crypto-crypto 0.1000% / 0.1000%). It also notes that actual rates can vary by region and recommends checking “My Fee Rate” after identity verification.

Deposits & withdrawals

Bybit EU notes: internal transfers and on-chain crypto deposits have no fees; withdrawal fees depend on coin/chain; internal transfers to other Bybit EU accounts have no withdrawal fee.

Why net fees matter: referral commissions are calculated on net trading fees (trading fees minus bonuses/discounts/credits). The calculator below lets you simulate a “net factor” to model that impact.

Commission calculator (scenario tool)

Auto-updates on input

This calculator is a scenario tool only. Enter your assumptions (active referees, daily volume, fee rate, your commission rate, and a net-fee factor), and it will estimate potential commissions based on: trading fees → net trading fees → your commission.

Inputs

0.10% is often quoted as a baseline for non‑VIP spot; your actual rate may differ.
Net trading fee = trading fee minus bonuses/fee-savers/credits/other discounts. A factor of 0.80 models a 20% reduction.

Estimated results

Gross trading fees per day (all referees)
Net trading fees per day (after factor)
Your commission per day
Your commission per 30 days
Your commission per 365 days
Commission per referee per day
Reminder: these numbers are not guaranteed. Actual fees, VIP levels, discounts, program windows (e.g., 365 days) and eligibility rules will determine real outcomes.

Practical content tips

For your review/blog

Put disclosure near the top

Make it obvious you may earn a commission when readers sign up via your links. This improves trust and aligns with affiliate disclosure expectations.

Separate Referral vs Affiliate

Explain which program you are talking about, and include a note that switching programs can impact rewards/commission eligibility.

Use scenario examples

A calculator helps readers understand that earnings depend on fees and trading volume, and that results are not guaranteed.

FAQ
