Bonus rules
BybitNew Bybit users can get welcome rewards of up to 5,000 USDT. Signing up brings a 20 USDT coupon right away; the rest is unlocked step by step through Bybit's new-user tasks — identity verification, a first deposit and trading. Most rewards arrive as coupons and trading bonuses rather than withdrawable cash, and the full amount is only reached with large deposits and volume. Rewards and tasks can differ by region. The bonus comes from Bybit's own promotion and is separate from the fee rebate; Bybit sets and may change its conditions, so check the official terms before you deposit.
KuCoinNew KuCoin users can get welcome rewards of up to 10,650 USDT. They are unlocked through new-user tasks in the KuCoin Rewards Hub — signing up, identity verification, a first deposit and trading — and most of them have to be completed within 7 days of registration. Signing up alone brings a 400 USDT bonus pack and a small cash reward. Most of the package comes as bonuses and vouchers rather than withdrawable cash, and the full amount is only reached with large deposits and volume. The bonus comes from KuCoin's own promotion and is separate from the fee rebate; KuCoin sets and may change its conditions, so check the official terms in the app before you deposit.
