Binance vs Gate at a glance: who should pick which?
On the numbers Getref has verified, the two exchanges are level for spot trading. The differences sit in the bonus ceiling, futures fees, the rebate cap and period, and the rules for your country. Where a value is not verified yet, the table shows 'to be confirmed' instead of a guess.

How to read it: if you trade spot at the standard level, fees and rebate share will not separate the two. The bonus ceiling is higher on Binance, but a higher ceiling says nothing about how easy it is to reach, because the conditions decide that.
Binance may suit you if the larger bonus ceiling matters and you can meet its conditions. Gate may suit you if you prefer its coin list or interface for the pairs you trade, which you should check on its own site. Look elsewhere if you mostly trade futures and need a confirmed low fee: those numbers are still open for both. Our exchange overview lists the other exchanges Getref covers.
Which is cheaper after the rebate, Binance or Gate?
On verified spot data, neither. Both show the same maker and taker fee, and both show the same rebate share, so the effective fee after the rebate comes out equal. A rebate returns part of the fee you paid; it lowers your costs but does not make trading profitable.
Two things can still move the result. First, your fee level changes with volume or holdings, and each exchange publishes its own schedule: see the Binance fee schedule and the Gate fee page. Second, the rebate cap and period are not verified yet, so Getref cannot tell you how long or how far the saving runs. Read both on the exchange before you count on it.
If you are unsure which side of a trade pays which fee, read maker vs taker fees. To estimate your own saving, use the calculators below or the guide on how to calculate trading fee savings. Any figure they give is an estimate, not a promise.

Compare BINANCE and GATEBinance vs Gate sign-up bonus: which is bigger and what must you do?
The verified ceiling is higher on Binance: up to up to 19,800 USDTverified Oct 10 against up to up to 10,125 USDTverified Oct 14 on Gate. Both are maximums, not what a typical new account receives. What you must deposit or trade, by when, and who is excluded are set by each exchange and can change.
Getref has not confirmed those conditions in this article, so do not assume the bigger ceiling is easier to earn. Read the official terms for each bonus first. Our guides on the Binance sign-up bonus conditions and the Gate sign-up bonus conditions show what is and is not confirmed.
Disclosure: the offer cards below use Getref partner links. Getref may earn a commission from the exchange if you open an account through them. This does not change your terms on the exchange. The exchange calculates and pays any rebate or bonus; Getref pays only its own points (Getref Rewards).
A welcome bonus is not a rebate and not cashback. A bonus is a one-time reward with conditions, a rebate is a share of trading fees returned over time, and cashback is a different product. The guide on rebate vs cashback vs welcome bonus explains the three.
What if you forgot the referral code at sign-up?
A referral code is usually entered at sign-up, and many exchanges do not allow adding it later. Whether Binance or Gate offers any way to fix this, and for how many days, is not confirmed here: the table above shows 'to be confirmed' for both. Do not rely on a fix existing.
- Check your account's referral or invite section on the exchange to see whether a code is already linked.
- Look at the official help pages of the exchange for the current rule on adding a code afterwards.
- If no way exists, a new account through a partner link may be the only route. Check the exchange's rules on multiple accounts first.
Our guide on what to do if you forgot the referral code goes through the options. The codes for reference are GETREF for Binance and GETREFFF for Gate. More detail is in the Binance referral code guide and the Gate referral code guide.
How do you check that the rebate actually arrives?
Getref has no access to your exchange account and does not see your trades. Its partner cabinet shows only that an account was opened through its link, and Getref asks only for your UID. So the check has to happen on the exchange.
- Right after sign-up, open the referral or rebate section of your exchange account and confirm that the code or link is shown as linked.
- Make a small trade and note the fee charged on the order.
- Find the rebate record in your account history or rebate page. Rebates are calculated and paid by the exchange, and the timing depends on its rules.
- Compare the rebate with your fee history. If it does not match the share you expected, check the cap and period in the exchange's terms.
- If still unclear, contact the exchange support with your UID.
To claim Getref points for a new account, submit your UID on the tasks page. Points are Getref's own reward, not money and not part of the exchange's rebate. You can read how they work on the rewards page.
Is Binance or Gate available in your country?
Getref does not guess here. Availability, restricted regions and identity verification (KYC) rules are set by each exchange and change over time. Check the exchange's own terms and sign-up pages on binance.com and gate.com before you register.
Two practical points. Availability can differ between the exchange's products, for example spot and futures, and between the bonus and the account itself. A bonus may also have its own country exclusions. Read the bonus terms in the guides linked above, and see the profiles of Binance and Gate for what Getref has confirmed.
Frequently asked questions
Does Binance or Gate have lower spot trading fees?
On the rates Getref has verified, they show the same spot maker and taker fee and the same rebate share. Your actual fee depends on your fee level, so check each exchange's official fee page.
Can I add an invite code to Binance or Gate after I register?
Referral codes are usually entered at sign-up and often cannot be added later. Whether either exchange allows a late fix is not confirmed here, so check its help pages and read our forgotten-code guide.
Is a fee rebate the same as cashback?
No. A fee rebate is a share of your trading fees that the exchange returns, while cashback is a separate product. A welcome bonus is different again: a one-time reward with conditions.
Do I need KYC to get the sign-up bonus?
Getref has not confirmed the KYC requirement for either bonus. The exchange's official bonus terms say what must be done, by when and who is excluded.
Can I open accounts on both Binance and Gate?
They are separate companies, so having an account on each is generally possible if both are available in your country. Check each exchange's terms, and remember that bonuses and rebates apply per exchange.
