Bonus rules
GateNew Gate users can get welcome rewards of up to 10,125 USDT. The welcome package in the Gate Rewards Hub gives 125 USDT in vouchers for the newcomer tasks — signing up, identity verification, a first deposit of at least 10 USDT, a first trade and installing the Gate app — and the advanced task adds up to 10,000 USDT for net deposits and spot or futures trading. Both have to be completed within 15 days of registration, and newcomer rewards are claimed manually in the Rewards Hub. The rewards come as vouchers rather than withdrawable cash, and the full amount is only reached with large deposits and volume. The bonus comes from Gate's own promotion and is separate from the fee rebate; Gate 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.
