Bybit Referral Code & Welcome Bonus — 2026 Guide

What is a Bybit referral code?

A Bybit referral code is a short alphanumeric string attached to an existing user's account. When a new user enters it during sign-up (or, more reliably, clicks a referral link that pre-fills it), Bybit attributes that new account to the referrer. In return, both sides can unlock time-limited welcome rewards — deposit bonuses, fee rebates, and (depending on the current campaign) bonus USDT credited after the user's first qualifying trade.

The specific reward amounts change frequently — Bybit rotates its welcome bonus campaigns roughly every quarter — so the safest way to see the current offer is to open the official sign-up page through the buttons below, where the live rewards are displayed on the form itself.

Referral code vs affiliate link — which should I use?

A raw referral code you type in yourself only pins the referrer to your account. An affiliate link does the same thing and enrolls your sign-up in the current welcome-bonus campaign, so the deposit / trading rebates unlock reliably. Missing bonuses are almost always the result of skipping the link and typing the code in manually.

How to claim the welcome bonus

1. Click the Bybit.com or Bybit.eu button above — whichever matches where you're allowed to trade.
2. Sign up with email or Google and complete KYC (required for the bonus to unlock).
3. Deposit or trade the minimum amount shown on the welcome-bonus form.
4. The bonus credits to your account and expires if unused within the campaign window — check the affiliate portal for the exact rules of the current campaign.
