How Do You Earn Commission?
Earning as an OKX affiliate revolves around driving user sign-ups and trading activity. Here's how the process works:
1. Get Your Affiliate Links
Access your personalized referral links and codes through the Affiliates section of your OKX account. You can:
- Customize your affiliate code
- Generate multiple tracking links
- Set commission splits (especially useful when working with sub-affiliates)
Your default referral link will automatically apply unless you create custom ones.
2. Share Your Links Strategically
Promote your affiliate links across approved channels such as:
- Social media platforms
- Blogs and newsletters
- YouTube videos and podcasts
- Community forums (where permitted)
Ensure promotions occur only in approved markets, avoiding any activity in Prohibited Jurisdictions (detailed later in this guide).
3. Invite Users to Join & Trade
When someone uses your link or enters your referral code during registration, they become your invitee. To qualify for commission:
- The user must complete registration
- They must execute at least one trade on OKX
4. Earn Recurring Commissions
You earn a percentage of the trading fees paid by your invitees—settled hourly in USDT. This creates a passive income stream as long as your referrals remain active traders.
Important Notes:
- Commissions are based on net trading fees. If a trade incurs a negative fee (e.g., market maker rebate), it may reduce your payout.
No commission is credited for:
- Zero-fee trades
- Transactions using rebate cards (though rebates may be issued to you instead)
- Special discounted fee arrangements
👉 Maximize your earnings with high-converting affiliate tools.

Transparency is key to building trust. As an affiliate, you can monitor detailed analytics via the Invitees dashboard.

Understand Affiliate Levels & Commission Tiers
OKX uses a dynamic tiered system to reward top-performing affiliates with higher commission rates.
Key Assessment Criteria:
Each month, OKX evaluates your performance based on:
- Monthly trading volume generated by your invitees
- Number of new or actively trading invitees
Default Commission Rate
All new affiliates start with a 30% commission rate.
Level Upgrades & Downgrades
- If you meet higher-tier thresholds, your rate increases the following month.
- Failing to meet minimum criteria for three consecutive months results in a level downgrade.
- Affiliates at Level 0 do not earn commissions.
5-Month Protection Period
New affiliates enjoy commission rate protection:
- For those joining on or before the 15th: Protection lasts until the end of the 5th calendar month.
- For those joining after the 15th: Protection extends to the end of the 6th calendar month.
Example: Joining on July 1 → Protection until November 30
Joining on July 20 → Protection until December 31
This buffer helps new partners grow their audience without immediate performance pressure.
Expand Reach with Sub-Affiliates
Scale your impact by inviting others to promote on your behalf through sub-affiliate links.
How Sub-Affiliation Works:
- Ensure your sub-affiliate has an active OKX account.
- Create a dedicated sub-affiliate link from your Affiliates page.
- Assign commission splits between yourself, sub-affiliates, and end invitees.
🔒 Once set, you can only adjust the sub-affiliate’s share—not the invitee’s rate. Rates apply uniformly across spot and derivatives trading (availability varies by region).
Both you and your sub-affiliates earn based on the same trading fee pool. Performance data is visible to all parties within their respective dashboards.
This structure allows for collaborative marketing networks while maintaining full transparency and control.
Compliance: Your Responsibilities as an Affiliate
As part of the OKX ecosystem, affiliates must uphold strict compliance standards to ensure legal and ethical promotion.
You agree to:
- Follow all applicable laws including anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions regulations
- Adhere to advertising and marketing rules in your jurisdiction
- Respect intellectual property and brand guidelines when representing OKX
- Stay updated on regulatory changes independently
OKX does not provide legal advice—you are solely responsible for ensuring compliance in your operating regions.
Why Could You Be Removed From the Program?
OKX maintains a zero-tolerance policy for fraudulent or misleading behavior. Violations that may lead to immediate termination include:
- Creating fake websites that mimic okx.com, including similar URLs or design elements
- Using deceptive domains like
www.okx.xxx.com - Publishing misleading content with OKX logos as clickbait
- Impersonating OKX on social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram)
- Sending phishing-style emails or texts pretending to be OKX staff
- Bidding on branded keywords like "OKX" or "OKX Exchange" in search ads
- Self-referring using multiple accounts
- Promoting in Prohibited Jurisdictions
- Sharing links on platforms accessible to users in restricted regions
Termination applies not only to offending affiliates but also their sub-affiliate network. Legal action may follow depending on the severity of the breach.
OKX reserves the right to update program terms or discontinue the program at any time without notice.
