  • How Crypto Cashback Works: A Complete Guide

    How crypto trading cashback works on TradeGetPaid

    Every time you trade on a crypto exchange—spot or derivatives—you pay trading fees (usually maker/taker). Those fees
    add up fast if you trade often or use higher volume. TradeGetPaid exists to return a portion of those fees back to you as
    cashback, without changing how you trade.

    The key requirement: you must sign up through our link

    Crypto trading cashback only works if the exchange can attribute your account to TradeGetPaid. That attribution happens when you create your exchange account through the TradeGetPaid referral link (the “Sign up / Start earning” link
    on the exchange page). If you sign up directly on the exchange website without our link, the exchange won’t connect your
    trading activity to TradeGetPaid, and there’s nothing to rebate.

    In other words: TradeGetPaid can’t “guess” it’s you—we need the exchange’s tracking to be in place from the start.

    What happens behind the scenes when you trade

    Once your exchange account is created through our link, you simply trade as usual. When a trade executes, the exchange
    charges its standard trading fee (for example, some exchanges list fees as maker/taker percentages).

    Because your account is linked to TradeGetPaid, the exchange pays TradeGetPaid a partner/affiliate commission that
    comes from those fees. TradeGetPaid then shares most of that commission back to you as cashback. This is why you can
    reduce your net trading costs without needing coupons, promo codes, or manual claims.

    TradeGetPaid’s model is straightforward: we keep a small portion of the affiliate commission and return the rest to
    you.

    How you actually receive the cashback

    On TradeGetPaid, cashback is not something you have to request. It’s credited directly to your exchange
    account
    , and it’s automated. Depending on the exchange, credits can be processed daily, weekly, or monthly.

    You’ll typically see the rebates appear in your exchange balance/rewards area based on that exchange’s payout
    schedule.

    How the “cashback rate” translates into lower effective fees

    TradeGetPaid lists a cashback rate per exchange (up to 70%).
    A cashback rate means: “TradeGetPaid returns X% of the
    trading fees you paid.”

    A concrete example from our Bitunix page:

    • Standard fee: 0.02% / 0.06% (maker / taker)
    • Cashback rate: 70%
    • Effective fee after cashback: 0.006% / 0.018%

    So you still pay the normal fee at execution time, but the cashback brings your net cost down afterward.

    Does it cost anything to use TradeGetPaid?

    No. TradeGetPaid is free to use—no subscriptions or platform fees. The service is funded by the exchange partner
    commission described above.

    Quick recap (in plain English)

    You sign up on TradeGetPaid, pick an exchange, and create your exchange account through our link.
    Then you trade normally. The exchange pays TradeGetPaid a commission for referred activity, and TradeGetPaid returns most
    of it to you as cashback—credited automatically to your exchange account on that exchange’s schedule.
