How We Make Money: Affiliate Disclosure
coinport earns a commission when you open an account through our referral links. It costs you nothing extra. This is how we stay free and independent.
How It Works
When you open an account at Bitget, Gate.io, MEXC, Bybit, or OKX using our link, the exchange pays us a commission. We do not charge you anything, and you do not pay more by using our link.
Our Links
Why We Give 20% Back
We give 20% of our referral commission back to you: sign up through our links and your trading fees are 20% lower. We could keep all of it — we don’t. 20% is the maximum our affiliate accounts let us give back — we give all of it.
The discount is set in each exchange’s affiliate panel, so the exchanges’ own referral pages do not list it. Where it can be seen, and when we confirmed it (30 September 2026):
- Bitget: Set by coinport in its Bitget affiliate panel, confirmed 30 September 2026. Bitget’s own referral pages do not list it.
- Gate.io: Gate.io’s invitation page opened through our link shows 20% against its product lines (seen 29 September 2026).
- MEXC: MEXC’s sign-up page for our link shows “Commission sharing: Spot 20.00% / Futures 20.00%” (seen 30 September 2026).
- Bybit: Set by coinport in its Bybit affiliate panel, confirmed 30 September 2026. Bybit’s own referral pages do not list it.
- OKX: Set by coinport in its OKX affiliate panel, confirmed 30 September 2026. OKX’s own referral pages do not list it.
The exchange still sets its own fees and offers, and can change them. See the referral codes page for each code and what each exchange’s terms say.
Why This Matters
We do not write reviews for money. Our comparison is based on real fees from each exchange's own published schedule. Binance is excluded not because it pays less, but because we do not have a referral agreement with it.
How We Use Commissions
Commission income lets us run this site and keep the information free and current. We do not rank exchanges higher just because they pay more. We try to be honest.
Your Privacy
When you open an account, the exchange gets your information, not coinport. See our privacy policy.
