The free crypto exchange sign-up bonus at CEX.IO is a tiered welcome offer for new users, credited as a trading fee balance on Spot Trading. You can receive up to 250 USDC by completing specific actions like registering, making a deposit, and placing your first trade. This bonus automatically covers trading fees on Spot Trading and cannot be used directly for trading, withdrawing, or with other CEX.IO services like Crypto Staking or Savings.

CEX.IO offers a crypto sign-up bonus of up to 250 USDC for new users, credited as a trading fee balance. The offer is incremental, so you’ll receive each reward as you go:

• 50 USDC – for registering on CEX.IO.
• 50 USDC – after you deposit or buy crypto at CEX.IO for at least 20 USDC.
• 150 USDC – once you complete your first trade worth 20 USDC or more. 
  
  Note: The trading fee will be covered automatically using your crypto welcome bonus.

The crypto welcome bonus is issued as a Trading Fee Balance and can be used exclusively on CEX.IO crypto Spot Trading platform. It’s designed to cover trading fees, not to be used as trading capital. This means the bonus won’t be available for placing buy or sell orders, nor can it be used with other services like Staking or Savings.

When you place a trade on Spot Trading, any trading fee due will be automatically deducted from your Trading Fee Balance (in USDC equivalent). 

Make your first spot trade, and receive an instant bonus of up to 1,000 USDC to your Spot Trading Fee Balance. 

Here’s how to join: 

1. Opt in on this landing page. 
2. Make your first spot trade. 
3. The volume of your trade determines the size of your bonus. Receive up to 1,000 USDC bonus to your trading fees balance automatically.

Note: The reward in your Trading Fee Balance cannot be withdrawn and will remain valid for 14 days from the date of accrual.

If your Trading Fee Balance isn’t enough to fully cover the trading fee, CEX.IO will automatically use the remaining USDC balance and charge the rest from your main trading account.

Example:
Let’s say your trading fee is $6.50, and your Trading Fee Balance holds 4 USDC. With the USDC/USD exchange rate at 1:1, 4 USDC will be applied to cover part of the fee, and the remaining $2.50 will be deducted from your regular trading account balance.

This way, your trade still goes through smoothly, even if the crypto sign-up bonus doesn't fully cover the cost. If you want to continue trading beyond your bonus, you can easily fund your CEX.IO Wallet to stay active on the market.

The Spot Trading Fee Balance is a separate USDC balance on the CEX.IO Spot Trading that users may use to cover their trading fees. Funds on the Spot Trading Fee Balance may be obtained for participating in activities that the Spot Trading conducts. 

The funds on the Spot Trading Fee Balance can be used to cover your trading fees on Spot Trading. When a position is closed, the corresponding commission amount is charged from the Trading Fee Balance in the USDC equivalent.

In case the amount on the Trading Fee Balance is not enough to fully cover the trade fees, the rest of the amount will be covered with the funds from the account balance.

When your Trading Fee Balance is fully utilized, trading fees will be charged as usual from the account balance.

The most intuitive way to see your Trading Fee Balance is by checking the Place Orders section on the Spot Trading page — it’s displayed directly above your order settings.

You can also find details in the following places:

• Finances Page – Hover (or tap on mobile) to view accrual details and expiration dates
• Reports Page – Under the Transactions tab, select Trading Fee as the account type
• Order Details – Shows how much commission was covered by your Trading Fee Balance vs. your trading account.

You can find the information on how the Spot Trading Fee Balance works in this article on our Help Center.

The reward will be available for 14 days after it is credited to the user's Spot Trading Fee Balance. If not used, it will be automatically deducted after 14 days.

Once your crypto trading bonus (Trading Fee Balance) is fully used, CEX.IO will begin charging trading fees as usual, based on our transparent limits and commissions. 

The bonus is valid for 14 days from the moment you complete the CEX.IO sign-up procedure. To make the most of your crypto welcome bonus, we recommend completing all qualifying actions as soon as possible.

The Welcome Bonus is not withdrawable and cannot be used as a trading balance. Instead, it’s credited as a Trading Fee Balance and is only applicable for covering fees on the CEX.IO trading platform, Spot Trading. While the bonus itself can’t be withdrawn, any rewards you receive while using it to trade with your own funds are fully withdrawable.
