Bybit’s futures taker lists at 0.055% against 0.050% at Binance, OKX and Gate.io. On a million USDT of monthly volume that is 50 USDT of extra sticker cost — the classic reason traders torn between Bybit’s interface and a cheaper venue stay torn. The rebate mostly dissolves the dilemma.
Bybit 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 | 0.055% | 0.011% |
What 80% back does to the gap
After the rebate, Bybit’s taker nets to 0.011%; the 0.050% camp nets to 0.010%. The 50-USDT monthly gap becomes 10. In practice the rebate strikes “fee difference” off the decision list entirely, leaving the question Bybit is happiest to answer: which order book and which interface do you actually want to trade on?
On 400,000 USDT of monthly taker-futures volume (fee 0.055%): you pay 220 USDT in fees and 176 USDT comes back. Over a year, that is 2,112 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 Bybit, not to any particular partner.
So the practical route to the rebate is a fresh account on an email or phone number Bybit 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 Bybit 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? Bybit referral code:
RAILDESK
The link fills it in for you; you only need to type it when signing up directly in the Bybit app — enter it at registration, it cannot be added afterwards.
Three steps, start to finish
- Open Bybit through the link below. The link binds the new account to the rebate program automatically — no code to type.
- Complete KYC and deposit. Standard Bybit 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.
Open Bybit and earn the 80% back on every fill
Sign-up takes about two minutes; after that every fill earns its rebate automatically. Want to compare all six venues first? The rankings page has them side by side.
