- 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.
- MEXCNew MEXC users invited with the Getref link can get welcome rewards of up to 10,000 USDT. The rewards come from MEXC's own new-user promotion and are unlocked through tasks: sign up, verify your identity, make a first deposit and trade. Most of them arrive as futures bonuses, vouchers or other MEXC rewards 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 is separate from the fee rebate; MEXC sets and may change its conditions, so check the official terms before you deposit.

Who each suits
MEXC
MEXC suits traders who want small and freshly listed tokens early and who care about keeping spot costs low. The rebate through Getref is a share of the fees you actually pay, so it matters most for taker orders and futures, where a fee is charged. If you mainly trade the largest coins and want the deepest order books, or MEXC does not operate in your country, compare the alternatives in the table. Remember that the invitation code only works on a new account: enter it on the sign-up form, because MEXC does not let you add it later.
