Every ChessBit account earns 12% of the platform fee its referrals generate — how links, holds and payouts actually work.
Every ChessBit account has a referral link and code, found in the Rewards section. When someone signs up through it, you earn 12% of the platform fee their games generate — ongoing, for as long as they play. It's not a one-time bounty.
- You earn from the fee (our cut of each game), not from your referrals' deposits or losses. If your player wins constantly, you still earn.
- There's no cap on how many people you can refer.
- Creators and community owners can apply for a higher partner rate, quoted individually — see chessbit.io/affiliates.
- Share your link, or give people your code to enter at signup.
- Attribution is first-touch and permanent: once someone registers as your referral, they stay your referral.
- Make sure they sign up in the same visit your link opened — the referral tag doesn't persist if they leave and come back another way (entering your code at signup always works).
- Commission accrues from the fees your referrals' settled games generate.
- Each amount clears a 7-day hold — the window that lets fair-play reversals (a voided game) be unwound before money moves.
- Cleared commission lands in your affiliate balance, held per coin.
- Transfer it to your main balance whenever the amount you're moving is worth $50 or more — from there it withdraws like any other funds.
Your dashboard shows clicks, signups, and commission accrued and paid.
- No self-referral. Signups sharing your device or network get flagged and held for human review.
- Referred players must be real people playing real games — bot or incentivized signups forfeit the commission.
- Promoting ChessBit to under-18s or into countries where it isn't available ends the arrangement.
