Overview of the OKX Affiliate Program

Your participation signifies your full acceptance of all terms, including those that limit liability or grant OKX the right to modify these conditions unilaterally. If you do not agree with any part of this agreement, you must refrain from accessing or using the platform.

These Terms are supplemented by additional documents such as:

• The OKX Affiliate Program Rules
• The OKX Sub-Affiliate Rules
• The Sub-Affiliate Link Rules

Collectively known as the “Program Rules,” they form an integral part of this agreement and should be reviewed thoroughly before engagement.

How the Program Works

The core purpose of the OKX Affiliate Program is to incentivize qualified promoters to refer new users to the OKX platform. In return, affiliates receive commissions based on the trading activity of referred users.

Commissions are calculated and paid according to the Program Rules and are exclusive of any applicable taxes. As an affiliate, you are solely responsible for reporting and paying all tax obligations arising from your earnings.

To maintain fairness and compliance across jurisdictions, OKX reserves the right to adjust commission structures, promotional tools, and eligibility criteria at any time without prior notice.
