Partner Program

Bring the players.
Keep the revenue.

ChessBit pays you a cut of the platform fee every player you refer generates — for as long as they keep playing. The standard rate is 12% and open to everyone. If you have an audience, we quote you higher.

Two ways in

Every ChessBit player can earn from referrals the day they sign up. Bring an audience and you are not on the same deal as everyone else.

Standard
12%of the fee your players generate

Open to every ChessBit account. Your link is already in your dashboard — copy it, share it, and commission starts accruing the first time one of your players finishes a staked game.

No application, no approval, no minimum audience
Lifetime attribution on every player you bring
Clicks, signups, deposits and commission in your dashboard
Paid in the currencies your players stake, withdrawable in crypto
No cap on how much you can earn
Already in your account — nothing to apply for
Partner Creators & communities
Higherrate, quoted to you

For streamers, YouTubers, coaches, club owners and community admins. We look at where your audience is and what you plan to do, then come back with a rate and a package built around it.

A commission rate above standard — set per partner, not off a public table
Boosted-rate windows we can switch on for a launch, a video drop or a tournament week
A tournament for your community scheduled and branded with you
Your own invite link and promo code with a landing page that names you
Assets that fit your format — overlays, clips, thumbnails, copy you can actually use
A direct contact — a person who answers, not a support queue

We do not publish partner rates. What we can offer depends on the size and shape of your audience, the format you work in and how you plan to promote — so we quote it once we have seen your channels, and you get a number, not a bracket.

How it works

Four steps, and only the first one is any work.

1

Apply or activate

Standard 12% is already switched on inside your account. If you have an audience, send the form instead — we read every application ourselves and answer within 1–2 business days.

2

Share your link

You get a short referral link — chessbit.io/r/ plus your code — and the code itself for people to type in by hand at signup. Every click is counted, and the signup is credited to you.

3

They play

Your players set a stake, get matched and play. ChessBit takes a 10% fee on the pot, split across both players — that fee is what you earn a share of.

4

You get paid

Commission accrues from every fee your players generate, clears a 7-day hold, then lands in your affiliate balance — withdrawable in crypto whenever you want it.

What you are
actually paid on

Not deposits. Not losses. You earn a share of the platform fee — the cut ChessBit takes for running the match. If your players never lose a penny to the house, you still get paid.

A worked example

60 referred players, each staking $400 across the month.

Your players stake, across the month$24,000
Platform fee that generates$2,400
At the 12% starting rate$288 / mo
On a partner rateHigher, on the same volume

$3,456 a year at the starting rate, and those players stay yours after it. The fee is 10% of the pot, split across both players — an illustration, not a forecast.

Lifetime, not thirty days

Attribution has no expiry date. A player you brought in during your first week still earns you commission two years later, with no re-attribution and no renewal.

A 7-day hold, and why it exists

Commission sits on hold for 7 days after each game settles. That window is what lets us reverse a result voided by our anti-cheat team before money leaves the building — including yours.

Paid in crypto, per currency

Your balance is held in the currencies your players actually staked and withdraws through the same rails as player winnings. No invoicing and no thirty-day net terms — withdraw whenever the balance you are moving is worth at least $50.

Self-referrals get caught

Signups that share a device or a network with your own account are flagged and held for a human to look at. It is not aimed at you — it is what keeps the programme worth paying for everyone who plays it straight.

You can see all of it

Clicks, signups, first deposits, total deposits, fee generated, commission accrued and commission paid — broken out in your dashboard, not summarized in a quarterly PDF.

Run the numbers

Move the sliders. This uses ChessBit’s real fee structure, not a marketing multiplier — a player generates fee equal to 10% of what they stake.

On a partner rate
Same players, same volume, a bigger share. We quote the number once we have seen your channels.

An estimate, not a forecast. Real commission moves with how much your players actually play, and the fee itself drops as low as 5% for players deep into ChessBit’s loyalty tiers. Nobody can promise you a monthly number, including us.

Apply for a partner rate

Tell us where your audience is and what you would actually do with ChessBit. Short and specific beats long and polished — we are reading for fit, not for grammar.

Where is your audience? *
Country

ChessBit is a real-money, 18+ platform and is restricted in some jurisdictions. Partner rates are agreed individually and set out in the affiliate agreement you sign before anything goes live. Promoting ChessBit to under-18s, or in countries where it is not available, ends the arrangement.

Affiliate FAQ

The questions people actually ask before they sign anything.

Anyone whose audience overlaps with chess or with real-money skill gaming — streamers, YouTubers, coaches, club and Discord owners, newsletter writers. Fit matters more than size: a 4,000-subscriber chess channel is worth more to us than 200,000 followers who have never touched a board.

We do not publish it, and we will not quote a vague bracket to seem open. It depends on your audience, your format and what you plan to do. You get one specific number, in writing, before you agree to anything — and it is above the 12% everyone else gets.

Commission accrues automatically as your players play staked matches. Each amount clears a 7-day hold, then sits in your affiliate balance ready to withdraw in crypto whenever you want it. No invoicing — a withdrawal just has to be worth at least $50.

Yes. A player attributed to your code stays attributed to it. There is no 30-day cookie window, and they are not re-attributed to someone else if they later arrive through a different link.

Their results are voided and the commission from those games is reversed — that is exactly what the 7-day hold is there for. It does not count against you unless there is evidence you were part of it.

No. ChessBit is 18+ and is not available in every jurisdiction. You cannot target minors and you cannot advertise into countries where we are not live. If you are unsure about a specific market, ask us before you spend money on it.

For the standard 12% programme you need an account, because that is where your link lives. For a partner arrangement we will set you up either way — and you never have to stake your own money to promote the platform.
