Bybit Fee Rebate 2026: 40% Back on Your Trading Fees

How much is the Bybit rebate? Register with our code FEEOTTER and bind your UID on Fee Otter, and you get 40% of your trading fees back, the same for spot and futures, all paid by Fee Otter (Bybit has no automatic exchange-paid layer). As net fees for a regular user, the futures taker fee of 0.055% becomes 0.033%, the 0.02% maker fee becomes 0.012%, and the 0.1% spot fee becomes 0.06% (checked 2026-10-22). That is double a typical 20% code: on 1,000 USDT of monthly fees, a typical code returns 200 USDT and ours returns 400 USDT, and Bybit Earn yield is shared as well. The rebate usually reaches the rebate site at T+1 and is paid out as on-chain USDT on BEP20, minimum 1 USDT per request, with a 0.015 USDT network fee. Below: how the rebate works, net fees by VIP level, what you get back, how to claim it, and how existing users can add our code or rebind.

Regional restrictions: Bybit does not accept residents of Hong Kong, mainland China, the EU, the UK, the US, Singapore, Canada, Australia and certain other regions; users in these regions cannot receive rebates (see clause 11 of the Bybit Affiliate Program Terms).

What is a Bybit fee rebate, and how does it compare with common codes?

Bybit also charges first and returns later: you pay the full fee at the trade and the rebate arrives afterwards, so the rate on the order ticket does not get cheaper. What separates the offers is the rebate rate:

The familiar "use my code for a 20% fee discount" means the referrer passes 20% of its cut on to you; some channels go to 25%. We have direct, long-term contracts with the exchanges and pass most of our share to users, so our Bybit rate is 40%.

On the same trades and the same fees, the code you pick decides how much comes back each month. For where rebates come from and why they can exceed 20%, see Auto rebate vs extra rebate and Why you can get more than a 20% rebate.

First, know what you are paying: Bybit's list fees

A rebate is a percentage of the fee, not of the notional you trade. Bybit's list rates for regular (non-VIP) users:

Fees verified on 2026-10-22. Source: Bybit official fee schedule · Methodology

Three things people trip over:

• The perpetual taker fee is 2.75× the maker fee. Every market order is a taker order. At the same notional, someone who works limit orders pays a little over a third of what a market-order trader pays.
• Spot costs roughly twice what perpetuals do. The same 1,000,000 USDT of notional generates 1,000 USDT of spot fees but only 550 USDT taking perpetuals, so at the same rate spot trading also returns a larger rebate.
• VIP levels and Bybit card tiers are separate. Hitting a 30-day volume or asset threshold lowers your rates independently of the rebate.

The table reflects non-VIP list pricing as of September 2026 and Bybit may change it; for current rates see the official Bybit fee schedule, and for how each product is charged the Bybit trading fee structure.

Bybit fees after the rebate: VIP 0 to 3 in one table (2026-10-22)

The 40% applies to the fees you actually pay, so every level's net fee is the list fee × 0.6. Figures from Bybit's official fee page (page updated 2026-09-02), checked 2026-10-22:

Left of the arrow is the list fee; right is the net fee after the 40% rebate. Your VIP level is based on 30-day trading volume or asset balance, whichever qualifies you higher. Bybit notes that actual rates can vary by region; your My Fee Rate page after KYC is the final word. Source: Bybit trading fee structure.

A regular user placing a futures market order on Bybit pays 5.5 USDT in fees per 10,000 USDT of position size, or 3.3 USDT after the rebate.

Bybit also lets you pay fees in its MNT token for 25% off spot and 10% off futures, though not for API orders, trading bots, copy trading (followers) or liquidation orders (Bybit FAQ on paying fees with MNT, checked 2026-10-22). Bybit doesn't say how fees paid in MNT count toward affiliate commission. We calculate the rebate on the fees the exchange reports as paid, so if you use MNT, go by the line-by-line records on the rebate site.

How much can you get back?

Bound through Fee Otter, the Bybit rebate is 40%, all of it Fee Otter's extra rebate. The table below lists the rate for each exchange.

The Bybit figure is the rate you actually receive. Against a common 20% code, that is 2×.

What does that actually save you? Five worked examples

You do not need to be a big trader for our code to be worth using. The Bybit rebate is 40%: 1,000 USDT of monthly fees returns 400 USDT.

Here is what different monthly fee totals return, with the rough notional behind each:

The notional column is back-solved from the 0.055% perpetual taker rate. Posting limit orders (0.02% maker) needs 2.75× the notional for the same fee total. Spot (0.1%) needs about 55% of the perpetual-taker notional.

If you are already a VIP on an exchange and want to rebind or sign up with another exchange, contact support: we can help you apply for special trading benefits or a higher rebate rate.

Beyond trading: Bybit Earn yield is shared too

This is one area where Bybit beats the others. Bybit Earn puts idle assets to work, and once you are bound, we share the yield it generates with you as well, so both trading and Earn pay you back. Keep the two apart: the fee rebate is calculated on fees, the Earn share is calculated on interest. They are different bases with different rates and settlement. Full detail in the Bybit Earn yield-sharing guide.

Bybit registration steps and how to bind your UID

New users, follow this order. If you already have a Bybit account, skip to the rebinding section.

Step 1: register with the referral code

Register through the link on this site, which fills in our referral code, FEEOTTER, for you. This decides whose account tree yours sits in, and therefore whether there is any rebate to claim.

Step 2: complete KYC

Bybit does not let accounts without Standard KYC deposit or trade, so they generate no rebate. Have your ID and a face scan ready; Bybit says review usually takes about 15 minutes and at most 48 hours (Bybit individual KYC FAQ, checked 2026-10-22). A driver's license, a passport and an ID card can each verify one account.

Step 3: find your Bybit UID

Log in, click your avatar in the top right. The UID is a plain string of digits under your account name. It is the only thing binding requires: no API key, no password.

Step 4: bind the UID on the rebate site

Go to the Fee Otter rebate dashboard, choose Bybit, paste the UID and submit. We reconcile it against the invitee list the exchange reports to us, and it goes live once matched.

Step 5: trade, then check the books

From then on your daily fees and rebates post automatically, visible in near-real time, and you can request a withdrawal at any time.

When does the rebate arrive?

The Bybit rebate follows a single path, so the books are simple to follow:

Two details that catch people out:

• Only trades that actually generate a fee count. A trade with no fee produces no rebate and no volume credit.
• The rebate is recorded as your available balance on the rebate site, not in your Bybit account. Fee Otter settles it in full; you track it and request withdrawals on the rebate site.

Already have a Bybit account? Rebind to claim rebates

An existing account may still earn rebates: a main account under 14 days old with no referrer can add us under Bybit's official rules by entering our affiliate ID 163627 (not the signup code FEEOTTER). The screens are in how to add a Bybit affiliate code; other existing users can check the conditions, the steps and whether their account qualifies in the Bybit rebinding guide.

Four mistakes people make

• Assuming every referral code pays the same. They do not. Ours on Bybit pays 40%. Compare the rate before you bind.
• Expecting the order-ticket fee to drop. It does not. Charged first, returned later.
• Binding the wrong UID. The UID is a numeric account ID, not a nickname or an email. Sub-account commission rolls up to the master account's UID, so binding the master account is enough.
• Hunting for the rebate inside the Bybit account. It accrues as your available balance on the rebate site, where you check it and request withdrawals.

How is this different from a KOL or another rebate site?

Our code on Bybit pays 40%. Beyond the rate, four things separate it from an ordinary referral code:

• How much they share. We pay 40% on Bybit, and the rate is published in the table above.
• Whether Earn counts. We share Bybit Earn yield as well; most channels only look at trading.
• Whether the books are auditable. Every fee and every rebate is listed row by row instead of as one number at month end.
• Whether you actually get paid. You can request your available balance at any time. It is paid as on-chain USDT on BEP20 to your bound address, minimum 1 USDT per request, with a 0.015 USDT network fee paid by you, and every payout can be checked on BscScan.

How Bybit compares

• Binance vs Bybit: both rebate 40%; fees and net cost compared
• OKX vs Bybit: Bybit is slightly cheaper for futures takers and OKX for spot makers, so there is no outright winner
• Bybit vs Bitget: Bybit lists slightly lower fees, but after rebates Bitget is cheaper
• Bybit vs Gate: Gate is cheaper after rebates, with a 0.015% vs 0.033% net taker
• Fees and rebates across the exchanges we support: list fees, rebates and net cost in one table

Risks to know before using Bybit

Bybit’s rebate terms are good, but know these risks before you deposit:

• A major 2025 hack, with client assets restored: on 21 February 2025 about $1.5 billion was stolen from a Bybit Ethereum cold wallet, which the FBI attributed to North Korean hackers (FBI notice). Bybit closed the ETH gap within about 72 hours, keeping client assets backed 1:1 (CoinDesk).
• Third-party rating: CoinGecko gives Bybit a trust score of 8/10; the score weighs volume legitimacy, liquidity, cybersecurity and past incidents, and is not a guarantee for your assets.
• Don’t keep long-term or large balances on the exchange: keep only the funds you are actively trading; withdraw money you aren’t trading and anything you hold long term.
• Use a cold wallet for long-term holdings: move large, long-term assets to a hardware cold wallet (such as a Ledger) and keep them offline.
• Futures and high leverage are high risk: the higher the leverage, the easier it is to be liquidated. Beginners should avoid high leverage and learn the rules with small amounts first.

FAQ

What is the best Bybit rebate, and how do I compare?

Compare three things: the rate (ours is 40%, the same for spot and futures), who pays it and whether you can check every line (our 40% is all paid by Fee Otter, and each fee and rebate is listed on the rebate site), and the payout terms (BEP20 USDT, minimum 1 USDT per request, 0.015 USDT network fee). Rates change, so compare the numbers each side publishes at the time.

How does the Bybit rebate compare with common referral codes?

Bound through Fee Otter, you get 40%, against the usual 20%. On 1,000 USDT of monthly fees, that is 200 USDT more each month.

What is the Bybit rebate rate?

Bound through Fee Otter, it is 40%, all of it Fee Otter's extra rebate.

How can you pay 40%?

Because we have direct contracts with the exchanges, and we pass the large majority of what we receive back to you.

When is the rebate paid?

It is imported, matched and posted to your available balance on the rebate site after the exchange's daily report, typically from T+1 onwards. It does not appear in your Bybit account.

Is this safe? Can you touch my assets?

Binding needs only your UID: no API key, no password, no withdrawal permission. Your assets stay in your own Bybit account; the rebate site neither custodies nor can move them.

I already have a Bybit account. Can I still earn rebates?

Yes. A main account under 14 days old with no referrer can add us under "Join an Affiliate's Community" with our affiliate ID 163627 (the form takes the numeric ID, not FEEOTTER); other existing users can refer to the rebinding guide.

Is the rebate rate the same for spot and perpetuals?

The rate is the same, but the underlying fee rates differ a lot (spot 0.1%, perpetual taker 0.055%), so the same notional generates different rebate amounts: spot returns nearly twice as much.

Does Bybit Earn qualify?

Yes. Once bound, the yield your Earn positions generate is shared with you. That is interest sharing, with a different base and rate from the fee rebate. See the Earn yield-sharing guide.

How is the rebate calculated?

It is the fees you actually paid, in USDT, multiplied by the rebate rate, which is 40% on Bybit. See How the fee rebate is settled.

I trade a lot. Can I get a higher rate?

Contact support. If you are already a VIP on an exchange and want to rebind or sign up with another exchange, we can help you apply for special trading benefits or a higher rebate rate.

Is there a withdrawal minimum?

Yes, 1 USDT per request. Rebates are paid as on-chain USDT on BEP20 to your bound address, with a 0.015 USDT network fee. There is no lockup and no limit on the number of requests; one request is processed at a time.

Do sub-account fees count?

Yes. Sub-account trading commission is attributed to the master account's UID; that is how the exchange's commission report is structured. Bind the master account UID and everything your sub-accounts generate is included, with no separate binding needed.
