How to join Affiliate Program and become a Partner in FTX

Referral Program Information

FTX pays referral fees. These fees are discretionary and up to the judgement of FTX. The general guidelines are here. FTX maintains the right to modify them with or without notice at any time. FTX might not entertain any complaints surrounding referral fees for any reason.

Referral fees may take up to 72 hours to be reflected, and may be reflected under any day within that window.

--------

Each user has a unique affiliate link.  If a new user signs up with your referral code, you will receive 25%-40% of their fees, and they will get 5% of their fees back. See here for more information. Users cant have referrals retroactively applied if any trading has taken place.

For non-VIP referees, their taker fees minus referral rebates cannot go below 0.03%; if it would, the excess is subtracted from the referral rebates.  Note that this may interact with maker rebates on other trades, FTT held by the trader, and other factors.

The exact referral rate is determined by the amount of FTT you are staking;

In addition to staking-based rewards described above, we may also, in our discretion, reward users with additional compensation or fees based on the amount of referrals, volume of referred users, or other factors as determined by us from time to time. The payment of any such compensation or fees to a user at any time and in any amounts is not a promise or guarantee of any future payments. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the referral program or a user’s ability to participate in the program at any time if we suspect a user to abuse the program, such as if a user creates additional accounts for the purpose of collecting referral bonuses.

You referral code is the last 8 digits number on the affiliate link.

When your referee uses your affiliate link to register, the refer code will be automatically applied.

 *VIPs do not generate referral fees from their account, though they can still refer other traders and receive fees for that.

Referral fees might stop six months after a referred user signs up.
 

How to become a Partner

Getting started with the FTX affiliate program is a simple process and doesn’t require any ID documents or traffic validation. To sign up for the FTX affiliate program:

1. Visit FTX.com and register for an account
2. Login to your new account and click on the main dropdown menu (email address)
3. Select ‘Referrals‘
4. Copy your default link (or create a custom one)
5. Start promoting, it’s that easy

Any accounts which sign up with your link will show up under the ‘Earned rebates‘ tab with the amount they’ve earned (it will show as US$0.00 if they haven’t made any trades yet).

External Referral Programs

FTX allows you to build your own External Referral Program! These offer a way for you to:

• Execute trades on behalf of users that give you permission to do so
• Share revenue from those trades; you are paid a fraction of the fees they generate

This article describes how the system works and how to set it up.
 

Create your program

Reach out to us and tell us:

1) What you want your program to be called (see e.g. "TradeX100" in the image below)

2) The login email of the FTX account you want to receive the revenue share payments
 

Collect keys

Tell your users to go to https://ftx.com/external-program-api-keys to create the API keys for your program and give them to you. By default these will be Trading-enabled but not Withdrawal-enabled.

Verify keys are associated with your program

For each pair of keys you are given, query the ftx.com/api/api_key_status endpoint to verify that they are associated with your program. You should see a response like so:

{enabled: True,
externalReferralProgram: TradeX100,
readOnly: False,
requireWhitelistedIp: False,
subaccountNickname: None,
withdrawalEnabled: False}

If the keys you have are not associated with your program (if, for instance, you collected keys before creating your external program), you can submit an `externalReferralProgram` argument to the `POST api/orders` endpoint. Orders tagged with that parameter (whose value should be set to your programs name, case-sensitive) will be associated with your program, just as if they had been requested with keys associated with your program.

Trade and collect a fraction of fees

You will be paid 25-40% of all fees (according to the same scheme described here) generated by orders sent using keys associated with your program. The payments are daily and are reflected on the Referrals page.
