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.
Free to join. Every ChessBit account already has a referral link.
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.
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.
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.
We do not publish partner rates.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.
Four steps, and only the first one is any work.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
60 referred players, each staking $400 across the month.
$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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Clicks, signups, first deposits, total deposits, fee generated, commission accrued and commission paid — broken out in your dashboard, not summarized in a quarterly PDF.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Send the form. If your channels fit, we come back with a rate, a package and a date you can plan a video around. If they do not, we will tell you that too.
