Bitget’s identity is copy trading, and copy trading has a cost detail almost nobody prices in: follower positions open and close on the leader’s signals, and those fills pay taker — 0.060%, the highest of the six venues we track. Copy traders are, structurally, the heaviest fee payers on the platform. That is not an argument against copying; it is the argument for not leaving the rebate on the table.
Bitget fees: the sticker price vs what you actually pay
| Order type | Listed fee | After the 80% rebate |
|---|---|---|
| Spot — maker / taker | 0.100% | 0.020% |
| USDⓈ-M futures — maker | 0.020% | 0.004% |
| USDⓈ-M futures — taker | 0.060% | 0.012% |
The copy-trading arithmetic
Say your copied positions turn over 400,000 USDT a month, all taker: 240 USDT in fees, 1.2× what the same volume costs on a 0.050% venue. With 80% back you recover 192 USDT and your effective taker drops to 0.012%. The strategy’s P&L belongs to the signal; the fee refund belongs to you. The two never interfere.
On 400,000 USDT of monthly taker-futures volume (fee 0.060%): you pay 240 USDT in fees and 192 USDT comes back. Over a year, that is 2,304 USDT.
Referral code vs referral link
They do the same job — bind your new account to a partner — but the link does it without typos and without a form field. What matters is what neither can do: an existing account cannot be re-bound. Codes are accepted at sign-up only, and once an account is created, no setting anywhere adds or changes its referral. That rule belongs to Bitget, not to any particular partner.
So the practical route to the rebate is a fresh account on an email or phone number Bitget has never seen. The whole process is the three steps below.
How to check it actually applied
Place one small order after signing up. A partner-routed rebate is credited to your Bitget account in real time after the fill, so a single trade tells you immediately whether the account is earning it. No rebate line after a fill means the account is bound elsewhere — or not bound at all.
Registering by hand? Bitget referral code:

The link fills it in for you; you only need to type it when signing up directly in the Bitget app — enter it at registration, it cannot be added afterwards.
Three steps, start to finish
- Open Bitget through the link below. The link binds the new account to the rebate program automatically — no code to type.
- Complete KYC and deposit. Standard Bitget onboarding. There is nothing to do on the RAILSDESK side.
- Trade as usual. Same pairs, same leverage, same strategy. After every fill the rebate lands in your exchange account, permanently.
