Crypto fee-rebate services compared (2026)

Updated September 2026 · ~6 min read

This comparison is published by Rebatly, which is one of the fourteen services in it — so read it as a competitor's comparison, not an independent review. To make that bias checkable, every figure below is what each service's own website states, read on 8 September 2026, and Rebatly's row is held to the same columns and the same scrutiny as everyone else's. Nothing here ranks the services or names one as the right choice; the aim is to give you the three questions that make any rebate offer readable in a minute.

The short answer: how to read a rebate offer in 60 seconds

Three questions settle most of what matters, and each can be answered from a service's own pages.

1. Rate basis — a share of what? “50%” can mean 50% of the trading fees you paid, or 50% of the commission the service receives from the exchange, which is itself only a fraction of your fees. Only the first is comparable across sites. Look for the sentence that defines the base. TetherMaker's About page draws the line in its own words: “타사 방식: 회사 수익의 % / 테더메이커: 수수료의 %” [other firms: % of company revenue / TetherMaker: % of fees]. TetherBack describes its basis both ways on different pages (“A percentage of your trading fees is returned as USDT cashback” and “a share of referral-based commission revenue”). Where no defining sentence exists, the headline is a number without a unit. The yardstick for Bybit is the exchange's own rule: Bybit's Affiliate Program FAQ (updated 2 September 2026) states that the maximum total rebate on trading fees for VIP accounts under an affiliate is capped at 50%.

2. Payout route — where does the money land, and when? Four patterns appear across the fourteen sites: the exchange itself credits part of the rebate into your exchange account (OKX's automatic 20% on Backcom.io and TetherMax; the automatic portion on TetherBack); the service sends it into your exchange account by internal transfer (Rebatly next day, HighFxRebates weekly on Bybit, TetherMax on request from 10 USDT); the service holds it on a platform balance you withdraw to your exchange UID (TetherMaker from 1 USDT), or on a platform balance whose onward route the site does not state (Backcom.io's weekly portion, paid ‘every Monday into your Backcom App wallet’); or it holds a balance you withdraw to a bank account or external wallet (TariTali in yen, TetherForYou to a wallet address). The route sets the minimum, the delay, and who holds the money in between.

3. What you hand over. Thirteen of the fourteen sites work from your exchange UID (DoTrade collects nothing at all — the exchange credits the rebate itself), and none of the pages we read asks for API keys (loweef offers an optional read-only key for its live view; none requires one). The differences are whether you also open an account on the service, what that account asks for (TetherMate's sign-up form asks for the size of your trading capital; TetherBack's privacy policy says verification “may” require “government-issued identification and a selfie”), whether withdrawal needs exchange KYC, and whether you must give a bank account or wallet address to be paid. A UID is public and grants nothing; an API key with trade or withdrawal permission grants a great deal, which is why any service that asks for one should say which permissions and why.

How we compared

Every number on this page is what the service's own website states, read on 8 September 2026. “Not stated on their site” means we looked on the pages we could reach and could not find it — not that the service lacks it. No service was contacted, no accounts were opened, and no rate was tested; we have not measured a single payout on any of these services, Rebatly included. Where a site contradicts itself we show both versions rather than choose one. Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese quotations are given in the original with our own translation in square brackets. Where a fact comes from a page's embedded data (JSON-LD, UI strings in the page bundle, a public API the page calls) rather than rendered text, we say so. Two sites (tethermate.kr, rebatefee.com) refuse some automated fetchers; both were read with an ordinary browser user-agent. Sites that describe a fee calculator but no payment to users were left out. The table is alphabetical, Rebatly's row uses the same columns and the same standard as everyone else's, and nothing here is a ranking. Rates and terms on all fourteen sites can change at any time; the changelog at the end records what was checked and when.

The comparison table

One row per service, alphabetical. “Advertised top rate (as written)” is the highest figure the site shows for any exchange, quoted verbatim, followed by the site's Bybit figure so every row can be read against Bybit's 50% cap; a Bybit figure says nothing about the other exchanges. Sources are the pages named in the service-by-service notes below.

“50% of what?” — the fees-versus-commission trap

An affiliate is paid by the exchange a share of the fees its referred traders generate; a rebate service passes some of that share back to you. So any advertised percentage has one of two bases: your fees, or the service's commission. A service that receives, say, 30% of your fees and returns “50% of commission” is returning 15% of your fees. The two numbers are not interchangeable, and only one of them can be set against a fee schedule. Watch the vocabulary too: HighFxRebates uses “commission” to mean the fee you pay (“a $10 commission on a trade returns $1 as cashback”), the opposite of how the word is used in this distinction.

Bybit gives the yardstick. Its Affiliate Program FAQ (updated 2 September 2026) states that the maximum total rebate on trading fees for VIP accounts under an affiliate is capped at 50%. Read plainly: if the exchange caps what can flow back to an account at half of its fees, then a Bybit figure above 50% of fees is either a share of something other than your fees — a commission, a “spread”, an “agency rebate allocation”, a fee discount added to a rebate and expressed as one number, or a time-limited extra paid as an event — or it is not something the exchange permits. That is a reading rule, not an accusation; it tells you which question to ask, not what the answer will be.

Applied to the Bybit figures on the fourteen sites: Backcom.io “Weekly rebate 50% every Monday”; DoTrade — Bybit is not among its four exchanges; GetRebate “40% (Spot & Futures)”; HighFxRebates “23% of the commissions paid”; loweef — Bybit is not among its exchanges; Rebatefee “10% rebate”; Rebatly “up to 50%” (40% below $50M monthly volume); TariTali “32％（テイカーのみ）” [32%, taker only], with new applications stopped; TetherBack — not stated on their site; TetherForYou “Fee 45% + 20% (payback + discount)”, and “Cashback 50% + 20% discount” for the boost tier on its English About page; TetherMaker “30%” on an unlisted page; TetherMate “30% 페이백 + 20% 할인” [30% payback + 20% discount]; TetherMax “Cashback for 30%” plus a 20% fee discount and a new-user “boost effect (55% cashback) for 3 weeks”, of which the page says “The additional rate will be paid as an event reward.”; Trade Reclaim “30%” — “The Trade Reclaim balance fills up at 30% of every fee you pay on Bybit.” Only TetherMax's boost figure sits above 50%, and the page carrying it labels the extra as an event reward rather than a fee rebate — exactly the “share of something else” reading above.

Two further traps. First, several sites present a discount and a rebate as one headline (“30% + 20%”, “Exchange discount 20% + TetherMax Cashback” (from the page's public list API, not captured as rendered text)). A fee discount lowers what you pay; a rebate returns part of what you paid; adding the two percentages overstates both, because the rebate applies to the already-discounted fee. Second, when a site defines the base as its own revenue — TetherMax's Terms 6.1 (“a portion of the profit earned by us”), TetherForYou's Terms §5 (“TETHERFORYOU 서비스가 취한 이득에 대한 일정 부분” [a portion of the gain the TetherForYou service took]), Backcom.io's homepage (“Backcom.io returns most of that to you”) — the fee-equivalent number cannot be computed from the site alone, because no service on this page publishes its own commission rate from any exchange. The figures above 50% elsewhere in the table (Gate.io 60%, KuCoin 60%, DigiFinex 72%, OrangeX 85%, WOO X Pro 90%) concern other exchanges with their own affiliate terms, which we did not check. For what Bybit's own fee tiers look like before any rebate, see Bybit VIP vs Pro fees.

What each service asks for

Three things to read on any sign-up page. Identifier: a UID is the public account number the exchange shows you; giving it to a service lets it check whether the account sits under its referral code, and nothing more. API keys: a read-only key exposes balances and history; a key with trade permission lets the holder place orders; a key with withdrawal permission lets the holder move funds. None of the fourteen sites asks for one on the pages we read (loweef offers an optional read-only key for its live view; none requires one), but if a service ever does, the permission list is the whole question — a rebate is computed from fee data the exchange already reports to its affiliate, so nothing beyond read-only has a reason to be there. Payout destination: an internal transfer into your exchange account needs no address and no chain fee; a platform balance means the service holds your rebate until you ask for it; an external wallet or bank payout needs an address or account and usually a network fee. The last column quotes how each site describes its own affiliate status; a service that is paid by the exchange should say so.

Service-by-service notes

One paragraph per service, in the same order as the table. Quotations are from the pages linked; “not stated on their site” lists what we looked for and could not find.

Backcom.io (backcom.io/en). Self-described “The Leading Crypto & Forex Rebate Platform in Vietnam”, with an About-page timeline reading “Q3 2024 Founded”. Eight crypto exchanges on a two-stream model: “the automatic portion is credited directly (hourly/daily), the rest is reconciled and paid weekly by Backcom.io.” Its pages disagree with each other in places: the homepage says both “Backcom.io returns most of that to you” and “The entire commission from the broker is refunded 100% to your account — Backcom.io keeps nothing”; the Bybit and Binance spec tables say “Payment cycle: Daily” and “Rebates are paid Daily & Direct” while the only listed stream is “Weekly — paid via Backcom.io”. Not stated on their site: the payout currency for crypto rebates (worked examples use USDT); a minimum withdrawal from the Backcom wallet; the withdrawal method, fees and processing time from that wallet; how “Payout method: Exchange account” squares with “paid into your Backcom App wallet”; VIP volume-bonus thresholds and percentages; Backcom's own commission rate from each exchange; a legal entity name, registration number or office address (the contact page gives email, Zalo and Telegram); partner-program commission rates (“The Backcom.io Partner Program is being finalized.”); what a Backcom App account requires; a domain registration date; a terms-of-service page (/en/terms returns 404 — only a risk disclaimer and a privacy policy exist); a restricted-countries list.

DoTrade (dotrade.trade). A referral portal for four exchanges with one flat figure — “Get 20% of your trading fees back, automatically, on OKX, Binance, Bitget & MEXC.” — and no service account: “No API key. No deposit with us. No account with us.” The rebate is credited by the exchange rather than by DoTrade: “The exchange pays 20% of your trading fees back directly to your account: hourly on OKX, automatically on its own schedule for Binance, Bitget and MEXC.”, and on OKX “in USDT to your funding account”; “there is no dashboard you have to log into to "withdraw" anything.” The base is the user's fees paid out of the exchange's commission — “DoTrade returns 20% of your fees out of that commission” — and the site says the figure follows the exchange's terms: “20% is what the program pays today. Exchanges change their affiliate terms, and when they do, the number changes with them.” Eligibility is new accounts only: “Already have an account on that exchange? You'll need a new one through this link to qualify.” A “Bonus offer TradingView $15 reward” sits beside the exchanges. Twelve language versions are declared, though only the English and Turkish sites carry all four guide pages; a source comment above the referral-link map reads “provisional”. Not stated on their site: an operating company, legal entity or jurisdiction; DoTrade's own terms and privacy policy (the /legal/ documents on the domain are titled for a different product and do not mention DoTrade); a minimum payout; the payout currency and cadence for Binance, Bitget and MEXC beyond “on their own schedule”; KYC requirements; whether spot and futures are both covered per exchange; volume tiers; a user referral program; region restrictions; any dashboard or tool to confirm attribution (the site points to the exchange's own account history); support channels beyond one email address; conditions or route for the TradingView reward; a founding date or copyright year.

GetRebate (getrebate.io). English-only, footer “© 2026 GetRebate Singapore”; one flat rate on every exchange tile, “40% (Spot & Futures)”, with the base given as fees: “You receive 40% of trading fees as cashback”. Its articles describe the model in general terms — an affiliate commission of “up to 50 percent of fees paid” and “40 percent pass-through, leaving 10 percent operating margin” — without stating GetRebate's own rate from any exchange, and one Binance worked example takes 40% of that commission instead (“user receives 0.015 percent back”); the Bybit, Bitget and OKX articles say “at current GetRebate rate tiers” while another states “No unlock tiers, no volume gates, no VIP levels”. Payout is monthly to an external wallet: “Payouts are processed monthly on the 8th of each month”, in “USDT (TRC-20)”, minimum “$10 USDT”. There is no GetRebate account; sign-up is a Google Form whose required fields are “Registered Email”, “Exchange”, “Account UID” and “TRC-20 Wallet Address”. On existing accounts the site says two things: an article states “Existing accounts cannot be retroactively linked”, while each exchange page shows a tutorial tile reading “Link existing UID to GetRebate” and the homepage offers “Create New Account”, “Delete & Re-register” and “Transfer Account — On select exchanges, your account can be transferred under our referral. Must be confirmed with our team.” Homepage tiles list Gate.io and Bitunix at 40% where /exchanges/ marks both “COMING SOON”; BingX and Crypto.com show 40% with a referral code of “COMING SOON”. Every exchange-page FAQ, including “Is this affiliated with [exchange] officially?”, reads “Answer coming soon.”; the payout-history page promises transaction hashes and shows none; the meta description counts “107K+ traders” where the page body shows “66,987+”. Not stated on their site: terms of service, privacy policy and risk disclosure (the footer links are empty and the URLs return 404); a legal entity name; official per-exchange answers on affiliation, VIP status, eligible activities or first-payout timing; whether 40% applies equally to margin and copy trading on each exchange; any network fee deducted from TRC-20 payouts; processing time after the 8th; a user referral program; sub-account handling; rates for the “COMING SOON” exchanges, DEXs and forex brokers; which exchanges permit “Transfer Account”; languages beyond English; restricted regions; a launch date (all nine articles are dated 18 April 2026; payout-history entries begin 8 January 2026); how form data is retained; the promised transaction hashes.

HighFxRebates (HFR) (highfxrebates.com). Primarily a forex rebate site — “Trusted Rebate Service Since 2008”, and per its help centre “In August 2024, piprebate.com underwent a rebranding process and changed to highfxrebates.com (HFR).” Crypto is a section of 13 exchanges with flat per-exchange rates; on Bybit, “Bybit rebates are paid weekly and directly to the user's Bybit account. The minimum internal transfer amount is 1 USD.” Some pages carry editorial placeholders: the LBank page reads “The payout frequency must be confirmed by HFR before publishing. Do not mark this as Daily or Weekly until confirmed.” and the Binance page “TBD – HFR confirmation required.” Terms: “all payments are issued at our sole discretion”, governed by the laws of Seychelles. Not stated on their site: minimum withdrawal amounts for HFR-balance withdrawals (only Bybit's 1 USD internal transfer is published); withdrawal fees per method (only “Payment processors charge a withdrawal fee”); the payout currency for exchange-direct credits on most exchanges (Gate says “in USDT”); LBank's and BloFin's payout frequency; what sets the rate within BYDFi's “up to 56%” and LBank's “up to 47%”; the Binance eligible-product list; any volume or VIP tiering; any user-level referral program (only a “Partner HFR Account” for broker representatives); an explicit affiliate-disclosure page; a domain registration date (the About page says both “over 18 years” and “for 14 years”); site languages beyond English; an explicit custody statement; HFR-side regional restrictions; processing time for exchange-direct credits beyond “daily” or “weekly”.

loweef (loweef.io/en). Ten site languages, Singapore-law terms (“Last updated 2026-08-19”), no company name (“operated by the loweef team”). The rate is layered: on OKX, “20% referral rebate — paid by OKX directly” plus “30% payback — settled by loweef daily” make “50% of every fee comes back to you”; BingX is 45% + 15% = “60%”, MEXC 50% + 5% = “55%”, and AlphaX “65%” is paid entirely by the exchange (“loweef does not settle this exchange”). Each carries a welcome boost “for your first 2 weeks” (BingX “70%”, OKX “60%”, MEXC “65%”); for AlphaX the exchange page shows “—” while the answers page says “75% welcome boost for the first 2 weeks”. Toobit is named in the FAQ and given “67% of every fee (77% welcome boost for the first 2 weeks)” on an answers page, but its exchange page and sign-up guide return 404 and it is absent from every rate table under a homepage headline of “Up to 65%”. The loweef-settled part accrues daily and is withdrawn by internal transfer: “Withdrawals are executed manually by our operators as an internal transfer to your registered UID — usually within 1-2 business days, and no later than 5 business days.”; “Minimum withdrawal 10 USDT”; “We do not send funds to external wallet addresses and will never ask you for one.” Linking needs the public UID from an account opened through its link (“We link a UID only if the exchange account behind it was created through the loweef referral link.”); a read-only API is “an optional extra for the live rebate view”. Terms s.6 say site rates “are estimates” and that “loweef pays payback only within the commission it has actually received from the exchange.” A partner program pays “5% of their trading fees, settled weekly” (“One tier only — no sub-partner recruiting”). Some pages carry unfinished text (“an extra 0 percentage points of welcome boost in the first 0 weeks”). Not stated on their site: a legal entity, registration number or address; a founding or launch date; Toobit's exchange page and layer split; which AlphaX welcome-boost statement applies; volume tiering; whether the loweef-settled layer covers spot as well as futures fees; a maximum withdrawal or withdrawal fee; which exchange wallet the internal transfer lands in; the exchange-paid layer's schedule beyond “on its own schedule”; ambassador-programme reward rates (the page the terms refer to was not found); restricted countries beyond “does not target or solicit users in the following jurisdictions: the United States”.

Rebatefee (rebatefee.com). A single-page calculator listing 21 exchanges with referral links, signed “© 2026 RebateFee.Com Lab”, with contact via Telegram, Facebook and a Gmail address. Its disclosure paragraph: “When you open an account using the verified vip links above, our team receives an agency rebate allocation. Rather than capturing this markup, the system is hardcoded to return up to 40% automatic cashback / rebate directly to your designated spot or contract balance every single Monday.” The page's JSON-LD FAQ instead says rebates are paid “on a daily basis”. The homepage activity ticker is generated in the browser from fixed lists of nationalities, amounts and trade types in the page bundle. Not stated on their site: any FAQ, terms, privacy, how-it-works, about or per-exchange page (all return 404); a minimum payout; the operating company, legal entity, jurisdiction or address; a founded date; any sentence of the form “X% of your trading fees” (the basis rests on the calculator formula and “actual net fees paid”); whether the percentage is of your fee or of Rebatefee's commission (the “agency rebate allocation” wording is not resolved); per-exchange VIP thresholds or what moves a rate to “up to 50%”; how a user verifies or disputes rebates (there is no dashboard, login or UID form — “we can share screenshots or guidance”); a referral program; languages other than English; region restrictions; an explicit custody statement; whether Rebatefee itself ever pays out or only the exchange does; a reconciliation of the daily versus Monday wording; a source or date for its “14,800 active traders” and “15,000+ traders audited” figures.

Rebatly (rebatly.io) — this site. Launched in 2026; three exchanges. The rebate is a share of the fees actually paid, calculated daily and sent the next day in USDT by internal transfer into your own exchange account, usually between 04:00 and 12:00 UTC; minimum 1 USDT, smaller days carry over. Rebatly sees your public exchange UID and nothing else — no account, no API keys, no passwords, no deposits, no custody. Rates tier by monthly volume, and the “up to” figures are the top tier from $150M. Rebates are checked in the Telegram bot t.me/rebatlybot; support at t.me/rebatly and hello@rebatly.io. What Rebatly does not offer is listed in the next block, in the same terms used for everyone else.

TariTali (taritali.com). A Japanese-language cashback service whose company page gives “設立年月日 Oct 1 , 2012” and a Kuala Lumpur address; crypto is a minority section beside 13 FX brokers. All cashback is paid in yen — “キャッシュバックは全て日本円でお支払い致します。” — from a balance the site says is held “Citibank Singaporeにて分別管理” [in segregated custody at Citibank Singapore], to a bank account or crypto rail you register, not into the exchange account; the site also says “弊社では立替払制度を導入しております。” [we operate an advance-payment system] enabling withdrawal “お取引翌日中” [within the day after the trade]. Of its three crypto exchanges, the Bybit page says “現在Bybit側の方針により新規でのお申し込みは停止しております” [new applications are currently stopped by Bybit's policy], the Bitget page says Japan residents cannot register from 3 August 2026, and BingX is open with a co-branded promo running “2026年9月5日～9月30日”. It runs an affiliate program paying “キャッシュバックの10%” [10% of the cashback]. Not stated on their site: the rate basis for crypto (no sentence defines “スプレッドの36％”); volume or VIP tiering; whether exchange VIP or BGB discounts reduce the cashback; a maximum payout; the effective date of the Bybit stop; which Bybit products the 32% covers beyond “テイカーのみ”; a domain registration date; an API-key requirement; processing time for USDT/USDC/JPYC payouts; a minimum payout for crypto-wallet or bitwallet destinations (1,500円 domestic bank and 20,000円 overseas bank are given); TariTali's own restricted-country list; an English version (hreflang lists Thai and Chinese only); whether the BingX promo rewards combine with cashback.

TetherBack (tetherback.com). Seven exchanges, each with a split payout — “30% is automatically credited to your Bitunix Spot balance … The remaining 30% can be claimed through your TetherBack dashboard” — and the homepage line “Just UID, NO API”. Terms are dated “Effective Date: February 3, 2026” and name a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama. The site gives its basis two ways (“A percentage of your trading fees is returned as USDT cashback” and “a share of exchange referral commission revenue”) and its FAQ two minimums (“The minimum withdrawal amount on TetherBack is $1” and “no minimum withdrawal requirements for cashback claims”). The Aivora and Blofin pages both say the automatic portion goes to “your Bitunix SPOT balance”. Terms 6.8: “We generally aim to process Withdrawal Requests within ten (10) business days”. Not stated on their site: Bybit and OKX rates (both pages return 404; the exchanges are named only in the meta description); a founded date or copyright year; volume- or VIP-based changes to the cashback rate; a single definitive rate basis; a numeric minimum in the Terms; timing for the dashboard-claimed portion beyond “daily” availability and “ten (10) business days”; a restricted-countries list; whether identity verification is required in practice; second-tier referral rates or rules (a “Referral code (optional)” field exists); any external-wallet withdrawal; a company registration number; a weekly settlement option; which exchange's account the Aivora and Blofin automatic portions are actually credited to.

TetherForYou (tetherforyou.com). Korean-first with an English mirror; 15 exchange pages, each with a “페이백 부스트” [payback boost] and “기본 페이백” [basic payback] tier and a capacity gauge under the line “가입이 마감되면 페이백 계정 생성이 불가능해요” [once sign-up closes, a payback account cannot be created]. The Binance and Bitget pages say the higher tier's capacity closed on 2024-11-27. The meta description calls it “1세대 정식 페이백 라이센스” [first-generation official payback licence]; the footer shows the label “고유 법인 번호(UEN)” with no number. Bybit figures differ across its own pages (exchange page 40%/45%; Korean About page “페이백 30%” / boost “45%”; English About page “Cashback 40%” / boost “50%”). Terms §5 frame payback as a portion of “TETHERFORYOU 서비스가 취한 이득” on USDT-pair futures; footer notice: “페이백은 순 수수료 기준으로 책정됩니다.” [payback is set on net fees]. Withdrawal is to a wallet address, “최소 출금 금액은 30 USDT”, full balance only. Not stated on their site: a fixed payout schedule (only per-trade accrual after exchange settlement and on-request withdrawal); what qualifies a user for the boost tier; the UEN number, a registered legal name or an address; a founding date (copyright 2022, terms dated 2023-08-28); withdrawal fee, supported networks and processing time; documentation of the “official cashback license”; whether spot fees are eligible; an API-key requirement (none is requested); an explicit custody statement; rates for exchanges on the dynamic list beyond the 15 pages read; the roulette reward payout route; the exact second-tier referral percentage (“페이백 중 일부” [part of the payback], ratio changeable); which of the conflicting Bybit figures applies; which of the conflicting Toobit figures applies (header “75%”, boost box “85%”).

TetherMaker (tethermaker.com). Korean-only (JSON-LD areaServed “KR”); the About page gives the operator's trade name, representative and business registration number, with “Copyright 2024”. Twelve listed exchanges, each with a “페이백 지급 시각” [payout time] (“OKX는 2시간마다” [OKX every 2 hours], most others once a day), withdrawal “1 USDT부터 언제든 내 거래소 UID로 바로” [from 1 USDT, any time, straight to your exchange UID], and an “자동출금” [auto-withdraw] option on OKX, BingX, MEXC and Gate.io. Its About page states the fees-versus-revenue distinction explicitly (“타사 방식: 회사 수익의 % / 테더메이커: 수수료의 %”), while its FAQ describes sharing “추천인 수익” [referral revenue]. An unlisted Bybit page (“수수료 페이백 30%”) returns HTTP 200 but is absent from the exchange list, sitemap and llms.txt. Some applied-fee figures do not match the stated rate (DigiFinex “0.056 / 0.014” at “72%”; Ecobit limit “0.003” at “70%”). A 25 USDT link bonus becomes withdrawable “누적 페이백이 50 USDT에 도달하면” [once cumulative payback reaches 50 USDT]. Not stated on their site: any use of API keys (linking is by UID only); external-wallet withdrawal; terms and privacy text (/terms and /privacy return 404); tiering by volume or VIP (every page shows one flat rate and “기본 수수료 할인 0%”); referral or sub-affiliate rates (a “추천인 코드” field and a partner form exist); a per-exchange minimum on pages other than OKX, BingX and Bybit; the “환급 구조” [refund structure] value, blank on ten pages; a founding date or domain age; a custody or deposit policy; spot-trading rates; the “테더메이커 2.0 업데이트” notice content (renders “Loading...”); FAQ answers outside the page's JSON-LD; why Bybit is absent from the listing; homepage counters that render as “0” server-side.

TetherMate (tethermate.kr). Korean-only, hosted on imweb; terms effective “2023.05.01”; the footer gives a Gmail address and the hosting provider, with no business registration number. Rates are per exchange (Bitget “54% 페이백”, DeepCoin “65% 페이백”, Binance “20% 페이백 (12개월만 유지)” [kept for 12 months only]), Bybit “30% 페이백 + 20% 할인”, with a VIP page adding “1~5% 추가 페이백” by monthly volume. Withdrawal minimums are “첫 출금 회원: 60,000원 일반 회원: 50,000원 주거래 회원: 30,000원”; the balance is displayed in KRW and paid in USDT at a reference price that “실제 테더 시세보다 낮은 기준 가격이 적용될 수 있습니다” [may be lower than the actual USDT price]. The OKX page's sign-up button reads “마감” and links to a Bybit partner URL. Sign-up requires a new exchange account: “테더메이트를 통하지 않고 기존에 쓰시던 거래소 계정 UID 입력 시 회원 가입이 거절됩니다.” [entering the UID of an existing account not opened via TetherMate is refused]. Homepage KPI figures show no source on the page. Not stated on their site: whether payout is an internal transfer or an external wallet withdrawal; the USDT network and any withdrawal fee; whether spot as well as futures is covered per exchange; any API-key requirement (none is mentioned); a company legal name, registration number, address, founder or founding date; a second-tier referral rate (a “추천인” field exists); the definitions of the three member types used for withdrawal minimums; how the “20% 할인” on Bybit and BingX is delivered; conditions on the 30,000원 sign-up credit beyond “축하금만 출금 불가” [the bonus itself cannot be withdrawn]; the full privacy policy text; the exchange sign-up links inside the modal buttons; a BloFin page or rate (BloFin is named as a partner in body copy); an English version (en.tethermate.kr shows a permissions error); which of the two Bybit figures on the service page (“+20%” / “+30%”) is intended.

TetherMax (tethermax.io). Operated by JOO HOLDINGS LTD (British Virgin Islands, per the footer), with Singapore-law terms (“Effective [18 06, 2026]”), iOS and Android apps and fifteen language versions (sixteen hreflang entries including x-default); the privacy policy is dated “Effective [08 28, 2023]”. Cashback accrues to a TetherMax balance daily (“at 11:00 UTC every day”) and is withdrawn “when the combined balance of the remaining exchange cashback and event rewards for each UID is 10 USDT or more” into the exchange account. Rates move with new-user boosts (“boost effect (55% cashback) for 3 weeks (or 4 weeks if invited by a TetherMax KOL)” on Bybit), copy or API trading (“45% cashback rate applies when trading through copy trading or API” on Bitget), VIP status (“For users with VIP2 or higher status, no commission will be generated.” on Binance), token-paid fees (BNB, MNT and MX excluded) and, on OKX, the registration date. The site's own OKX boost split differs between pages (“20% of 65% … remaining 45%” versus “30% is provided by OKX's own cashback program, and the remaining 35%”), and its homepage bundle carries inactive Bitget event copy referring to “the existing rate of 60%” against the Bitget page's 54%. Not stated on their site: a founding or launch date; domain age; Binance's standing post-boost rate (the page states 50% only as a boost); a single table of all rates; rates for Flipster, DeepCoin, BloFin, LBank, Zoomex, Tapbit and other partners; volume-based tiering; withdrawal or network fees; whether spot fees are eligible (Terms 6.1: futures USDT pairs only); TetherMax's own commission rate from any exchange (“a portion of the profit earned by us” is never quantified); any API key or permission the user must supply (only a UID); the payout chain; which countries are unsupported; the eligibility details of its “Maximum Cashback Guarantee” (deferred to the Help Center); the rendered Bybit and OKX headline strings, which we could capture only from the page's public list API and a beginner-guide sentence (“Bybit around 64%”).

Trade Reclaim (trade-reclaim.com/en). Operated by “Trade Reclaim, Inc.” at a Dubai P.O. Box under UAE law, with terms effective “2026-05-13” and fifteen language versions; a blog post titled “Is Trade Reclaim Legit?” on its own site says “It is a young brand”. Rates are flat per exchange — “Between 30% and 50% of every trading fee, depending on the exchange” — 30% on Bybit, Binance, OKX, Bitget, MEXC and BloFin, 35% on Bitunix and LeveX, WEEX futures “50%” on the main site against “35% (futures only)” in its help-centre table, and Phemex “80% cashback during the event instead of the standard 30%” from 1 August to 30 September 2026 (the help-centre table still shows 30%). The base is stated as the user's fees (“The percentage is applied to the fees YOU paid, not to Trade Reclaim's commission”), though the calculator page says “We return 30 to 50 percent of that commission to you”. Cashback accrues to a dashboard balance: “once your cashback balance reaches 20 USDT, you can request a payout at any time. Payouts are processed within 48 hours”, in USDT on “ERC-20 (Ethereum) or TRC-20 (Tron)” to a wallet stored in account settings, “not on the exchange”; inverse-contract cashback is paid in BTC or ETH instead. It holds email and UID only: “We do not ask for ID documents, API keys or wallet access.” A new exchange account through its link is required on most exchanges, with routes it describes for existing users — “MEXC lets you open a second account. Bybit moves your existing KYC to a new account in 5 minutes. Other exchanges need a quick KYC reset first.”, Binance “with an existing account after you bind it via our link”, BloFin “Your existing BloFin account works too” — while the OKX page says “Existing accounts won't track cashback” and the homepage FAQ says an existing OKX account can be linked “if it meets their conditions”. A referral program pays the referrer “10% of the trading fees a Referee generates on eligible exchanges” (Binance excluded) plus $10 “when a referred friend's own cashback reaches $50”, and gives the referee “100% of their trading fees back until the refunds reach $100” on “the first one traded on”; an affiliate program for communities offers “up to 70% cashback in month one”. BitMart remains on a live page marked delisted while the help-centre table (updated 8 September 2026) still lists it at 50%. Not stated on their site: the share of commission Trade Reclaim keeps (“most”); any network fee on payout; a restricted-country list; whether spot earns cashback on every exchange beyond the WEEX and BitMart exclusions; a registration number or licence; a founding date; whether the 48-hour window is business or calendar days; whether the Phemex 80% covers spot; the definitive exchange roster (“Ten major exchanges” on the homepage versus “11 crypto exchanges” in the help centre); whether the rate differs by maker and taker.

Where Rebatly is weaker

Held to the same standard, Rebatly's row has real gaps.

Age. Rebatly launched in 2026. On their own pages, most of the other sites show earlier dates — TariTali a founding date of 1 October 2012, HighFxRebates “since 2008” (rebranded August 2024), TetherForYou a 2022 copyright, TetherMate terms effective 1 May 2023, TetherMax a privacy policy effective 28 August 2023, TetherMaker “Copyright 2024”, Backcom.io “Q3 2024 Founded”. A track record is something Rebatly cannot claim yet.

Coverage. Three exchanges: Bybit, OKX, Bitget. The others list between three and twenty-one. If you trade on Binance, MEXC, BingX, Gate or KuCoin, Rebatly has nothing for you.

No second-tier program. Rebatly advertises no friend-referral or sub-affiliate reward. TariTali pays affiliates “キャッシュバックの10%” [10% of the cashback]; Backcom.io's Vietnamese referral page offers “lên tới 100 USDT/người” [up to 100 USDT per person]; TetherForYou and TetherMax both describe member-to-member rewards; TetherMaker, TetherMate and TetherBack carry referral-code fields at sign-up. Trade Reclaim's referral program pays the referrer “10% of the trading fees a Referee generates on eligible exchanges” plus $10 “when a referred friend's own cashback reaches $50”, and gives the referee “100% of their trading fees back until the refunds reach $100” on the first exchange traded.

No bonuses, boosts or stacked discounts. Rebatly's rate is the rate. TetherMate advertises a 30,000원 sign-up credit, TetherMaker a 25 USDT link bonus, TetherMax a three-week new-user boost, TariTali a co-branded BingX promo through 30 September 2026. loweef advertises welcome boosts “for your first 2 weeks” — BingX “Welcome 70%”, OKX “Welcome 60%”, MEXC “Welcome 65%” — above its standard totals of 60%, 50% and 55%. Several sites also pair a fee discount with the rebate (TetherMate “+20% 할인”, TetherMax “Exchange discount 20%” on Bybit, TetherForYou “수수료 할인률 20%”). Rebatly does not.

The headline needs volume. “Up to 50%” on Bybit and “up to 40%” on OKX and Bitget are top tiers reached from $150M in monthly volume; from $50M they are 45% and 35%; below $50M they are 40% and 30%. On paper, several sites list a single flat figure at or above Rebatly's base tier for the same exchange — Backcom.io “50%” weekly on Bybit, TetherForYou “45%” on Bybit, TetherMaker “50%” and TetherMax “54%” on OKX, TetherMaker “50%” on Bitget — subject to everything in the “50% of what?” block about what those numbers are a share of.

No dashboard, no app. Rebatly has no account to log into; rebates are checked in the Telegram bot t.me/rebatlybot. TetherMax has iOS and Android apps; TetherBack, HighFxRebates and Backcom.io describe dashboards or apps in which rebates are tracked and claimed (Backcom.io: ‘track every accrual in real time in the Backcom App’); TetherMaker describes a member area with a withdrawal (환급신청 [refund request]) menu.

Payout cadence. Rebatly pays once a day, the day after the fees are paid. OKX's automatic portion arrives “about 1–2 hours after you close an order” on Backcom.io and “매 2시간” [every 2 hours] on TetherMaker; TetherMate says withdrawals are “일반적으로 3~5분 내에 처리” [usually processed within 3–5 minutes]; TetherMax says “approximately 5 minutes to 1 hour after your withdrawal request”; DoTrade describes the exchange itself crediting its rebate “hourly on OKX … in USDT to your funding account”, with “No API key. No deposit with us. No account with us.” and nothing submitted to DoTrade at all. If you want the money the same day, Rebatly is not the fastest route described on this page.

No path for existing accounts. The code REBATLY must be entered when the exchange account is created; exchanges do not attach a code afterwards, and Rebatly describes no re-attribution route. Backcom.io describes one for OKX (“attach the invite code to an existing account”) and HighFxRebates one for Gate (“request to link your account under our Referral ID”). Trade Reclaim describes several: “MEXC lets you open a second account. Bybit moves your existing KYC to a new account in 5 minutes. Other exchanges need a quick KYC reset first.”, Binance “with an existing account after you bind it via our link”, BloFin “Your existing BloFin account works too”. GetRebate's exchange pages show a tile reading “Link existing UID to GetRebate” and its homepage offers “Transfer Account — On select exchanges, your account can be transferred under our referral. Must be confirmed with our team.”, though one of its articles says “Existing accounts cannot be retroactively linked”.

Languages and scope. Rebatly publishes in eight languages; TetherMax lists fifteen language versions and TetherBack English plus seventeen alternates. Rebatly covers no forex brokers, which HighFxRebates, TariTali and Backcom.io do.

How to choose: a five-minute checklist

Run these on the service's own pages before you open anything.

1. Find the base. Copy the sentence that says what the percentage is a share of. “X% of trading fees” is comparable; “X% of commission”, “of spread” or “of our profit” is not, unless the site also publishes its commission rate. No sentence, no comparison.

2. Apply the Bybit test. Anything above 50% of fees on Bybit needs an explanation on the page — a discount folded in, an event reward, a different base. If the page gives none, ask the service before you sign up.

3. Trace the money. Exchange account, platform balance or external wallet? Minimum amount? Cadence, in a sentence you can hold them to (“every Monday”, “at 11:00 UTC”, “next day”)? Check for two different answers on the same site — several of the fourteen give conflicting cadences or minimums.

4. List what you hand over. UID only, or an account with name, phone, capital size, ID documents? Bank or wallet details? If an API key is requested, which permissions, and why would a rebate need more than read-only?

5. Check the affiliate link itself. Look for the referral code or partner ID on the page (HighFxRebates prints “Affiliate ID: 79069”; Backcom.io “VIPBACKCOM”; TariTali “61311”; Rebatly “REBATLY”) and, after sign-up, confirm in the exchange's own account settings that the code was applied. Fees paid before the link is attached are not rebated anywhere.

6. Check that the page for your exchange exists and is open. Two sites carry Bybit only in a meta description or on an unlisted page; one marks its OKX sign-up “마감” [closed]; one says Bybit “新規でのお申し込みは停止” [new applications stopped]. A logo on the homepage is not an offer.

7. Read the exclusions. Fees paid in exchange tokens (BNB, MNT, MX), broker-API trades, VIP levels above a threshold, spot versus futures, sub-accounts. Every exclusion is a fee you pay in full.

8. Find the legal entity and the terms. Which company, which law, and does a terms page exist? Several of the fourteen publish no legal company name, and some have no reachable terms page.

9. Note what is time-limited or capacity-gated. New-user boosts, “정원율” [capacity] gauges, closed tiers, a “12개월만 유지” [12 months only] clause — the rate you see may not be the rate you get.

10. Then do the arithmetic on your own fees. A rebate is a percentage of what you pay, so your fee tier, maker/taker mix and volume decide the money. The Bybit fee calculator does the sum; Reduce crypto trading fees covers the levers that come before any rebate.

Fees are the input you control

Whatever a rebate is worth, it is a fraction of one number: the fees you actually pay. Your fee tier, your maker/taker mix and your volume set that number, and they are yours to change before any service enters the picture. Bybit VIP vs Pro fees lays out what the tiers cost, and the Bybit fee calculator turns your own volume into a fee bill and shows what a share of it is worth.

Rebatly's own terms, in the words we would hold anyone else to: a registered affiliate of Bybit, OKX and Bitget; sign-up code REBATLY, entered when the exchange account is created (exchanges cannot attach a code afterwards); a rebate of up to 50% on Bybit and up to 40% on OKX and Bitget, tiered by monthly trading volume; calculated daily on fees actually paid and sent the next day in USDT by internal transfer into your own exchange account, usually between 04:00 and 12:00 UTC; minimum payout 1 USDT, smaller days carry over; we see your public exchange UID and nothing else — no API keys, no passwords, no deposits, no custody. Check any day's rebate in the Telegram bot t.me/rebatlybot; questions to t.me/rebatly or hello@rebatly.io. The codes themselves are covered in the referral code guide; more guides in the guides index.

Rebatly is an independent affiliate funded from its commission; not financial advice.
