5. How to Participate
To participate in this Promotion and qualify for the Reward, you must complete the following steps during the Period:
This Promotion is strictly by invitation only. You are only eligible if you are an eligible Returning Margin Trader as defined in Section 4 and have received a direct email from CEX.IO specifically offering a Margin Trading Fee Bonus for opening a new margin position. If you have not received this specific email, you are not eligible to participate.
After receipt of the invitation email, you must successfully execute at least one margin trade via the CEX.IO App or CEX.IO website during the promotional Period, in a notional amount that meets or exceeds one of the qualifying thresholds set out in Section 6, which constitutes a Qualifying Transaction as defined herein.
A "Qualifying Transaction" means opening a margin position that: (a) constitutes an "Authorised Transaction" or equivalent concept under the Terms of Use; (b) is successfully executed and settled to the User's Account in accordance with the Terms of Use and applicable trading rules; (c) meets or exceeds the applicable minimum notional trade amount threshold set out in Section 6 (measured at the time of execution); and (d) is not, and has not been, in whole or in part, reversed, cancelled, voided, or otherwise invalidated, in each case as determined in accordance with the Terms of Use.
The applicable Reward will be automatically calculated based on the notional value of the first Qualifying Transaction completed during the Period and will be available for claiming in the Reward Center in the CEX.IO App.
6. Reward
Tiers & Distribution. Eligible Users who complete a Qualifying Transaction during the Period shall receive a USDC Margin Trading Fee Bonus ("Reward"). The Reward is determined by the notional value of the first Qualifying Transaction executed during the Period, as follows:
Qualifying Margin Position Threshold (Single Position) | USDC Margin Trading Fee Bonus |
$100 – $499.99 | 100 USDC |
$500 – $1,999.99 | 200 USDC |
$2,000 – $9,999.99 | 500 USDC |
$10,000+ | 1,000 USDC |
Rewards are credited in USDC to the qualifying user's Margin Trading Fee balance on a 1:1 USD-equivalent basis, subject to rounding to supported precision as displayed in the Platform at the time of crediting. Only the first Qualifying Transaction during the Period determines the applicable reward tier; subsequent trades during the Period do not generate additional Rewards.
Notification & Claim. Eligible Users will see the Reward reflected in their Reward Center and may receive an in-app notification upon becoming eligible. Users must actively claim the Reward through the Reward Center in the CEX.IO App.
Expiration. The Reward must be claimed within 30 days of notification receipt; otherwise, it will be forfeited. Once claimed, the Margin Trading Fee Bonus is available during the first 30 days after claiming.
Nature of Reward. The USDC Margin Trading Fee Bonus is not cash, has no cash redemption value, is non-withdrawable and non-transferable, and may be used only to offset eligible margin trading fees in accordance with the Terms of Use and Promotion and Reward Center Terms.
Frequency. Eligible Users may receive one Reward per invitation email and one Reward per eligible return period only. For the avoidance of doubt, a single invitation email may not be used to obtain multiple Rewards. Only the first Qualifying Transaction executed during the Period determines the applicable reward tier; the tier cannot be upgraded by executing a higher-value trade after the first Qualifying Transaction.
7. Disqualification
CEX.IO may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, disqualify any User, and withhold, reverse, cancel, or claw back any Reward (including by offsetting against balances in the User's Account), where CEX.IO at its sole discretion determines that the User has engaged in any of the following (each a "Prohibited Conduct"):
Self-referral, sub-accounting, or multi-accounting, including creating or using multiple Accounts (or otherwise attempting to circumvent eligibility or Reward limits), whether directly or through third parties.
Unsolicited bulk messaging, spam, deceptive solicitation, or misleading communications in connection with the Promotion, including any referral activity that is unlawful, misleading, or inconsistent with CEX.IO's brand, compliance, or consumer-protection standards.
Submission of false, forged, altered, or otherwise counterfeit identification or verification materials, or any misrepresentation in connection with onboarding, verification, or participation.
Misuse, abuse, or bad-faith conduct, including wash trading, artificial position sizing, or any activity intended to improperly obtain a higher Reward tier, circumvent controls (including VPN circumvention), manipulate outcomes, or otherwise act contrary to the spirit and purpose of the Promotion.
Making false, misleading, or unsubstantiated statements about the Promotion, the Platform, the Services, or the Reward, including statements that misstate eligibility, likelihood of receiving a Reward, Reward availability, or the nature of the Promotion as not involving chance.
For the avoidance of doubt, CEX.IO may take the above actions in addition to any other remedies available under the Terms of Use, Promotion and Reward Center Terms and applicable law, including suspension or termination of the Account and/or restriction of Services.

Standard Terms: These Official Rules apply only to the specific Promotion mechanics described herein. All matters not expressly governed by these Official Rules are governed by, and incorporated by reference into these Official Rules: (i) Terms of Use, (ii) the Promotion and Reward Center Terms, and (iii) where referral commissions are concerned, the Affiliate Program Terms (each as amended from time to time, together, the “Terms”).
