Quotex Affiliate Commission Structure Explained

Quotex pays partners on three models: RevShare (50% to 80% of net revenue, in seven tiers), Turnover Share (2% to 5% of trading volume, capped at 50% of a trader's deposit since October 2025), and CPA (a flat fee per qualifying first deposit). On top of that, a sub-affiliate layer pays 2% to 8% on partners you recruit. Actual earnings depend entirely on referred traders' activity — these are the published rates, not a projection of what you'll make.

How Quotex Affiliate Commissions Work

Every referred trader gets attached to your account through your tracking link. From that point, Quotex calculates what it owes you based on the model assigned to your account — RevShare by default — and your current tier level. Tiers move up based on your monthly volume of first-time deposits (FTDs) across all your referred traders, not per individual trader.

A trader's rate locks in at whatever tier you were on when they first registered. Moving up a tier afterward raises the rate for new traders you bring in going forward; it doesn't automatically apply retroactively to every trader you've already referred.

RevShare Model: The 7-Tier System

RevShare is the default and most-used model. Quotex takes a cut of what it earns from your referred trader's trading activity over time, and pays you a percentage of that — for as long as the trader stays active, not as a one-time payment.

The jump from L1 to L7 is 30 percentage points, which is a meaningful difference at scale — but reaching L7 means generating 700 first-time deposits in a single month, which is a high-volume operation, not something most individual affiliates hit in their first year.

Turnover Share Model

Turnover Share pays a smaller percentage, calculated on trading volume rather than net revenue. It suits traffic that trades a lot but doesn't necessarily lose much — volume-based payment rather than outcome-based.

Since 16 October 2025, Turnover Share payouts are capped at 50% of the referred trader's deposit amount. This cap didn't exist previously — older third-party guides that quote uncapped Turnover Share figures are describing terms that no longer apply. Confirm the current cap in your own dashboard, since this kind of term is exactly what changes without much public notice.

Sub-Affiliate Commissions

Recruit another partner and you earn a percentage of what they earn, calculated on the same seven-level structure:

There's a lifetime cap of $300,000 in sub-affiliate earnings from any single recruited partner. Past that point, you stop earning from that specific sub-affiliate relationship regardless of how much they continue to generate. For most affiliates this cap is theoretical rather than a practical limit — reaching it requires the sub-affiliate themselves to generate a very large volume of RevShare or CPA earnings.

CPA: Cost Per Acquisition

CPA pays a flat, one-time fee for each unique referred trader who completes a qualifying first deposit. The rate isn't fixed across the board — it varies by the trader's country and device type, and the current schedule lives on the CPA-rates page inside your partner dashboard. This model suits traffic where you expect low retention (one-off visitors rather than a returning audience) since you get paid on acquisition regardless of what the trader does afterward.

Real-World Examples: What the Numbers Look Like

These are illustrative calculations based on the published rate tables above, not a guarantee of what any specific traffic source produces.

Example 1 — Level 1 affiliate, RevShare. You refer 10 active traders. If Quotex's net revenue from their combined activity in a month is $2,000, your 50% RevShare share is $1,000 that month. If those traders stop trading the next month, your RevShare for that trader drops to whatever they generate — which could be far less, or nothing.

Example 2 — Level 4 affiliate, RevShare. You've built up to 120 monthly FTDs, putting you at Level 4 (65%). If your referred traders collectively generate $10,000 in net revenue for Quotex that month, your share is $6,500.

Example 3 — Sub-affiliate income. You recruit a partner who is themselves at Level 2 (55% RevShare) and who earns $3,000 in RevShare commission in a month. As their referring sub-affiliate at your own Level 2 tier, you'd earn 3% of that — $90 — on top of whatever your own direct referrals generate.

The common thread: none of this pays out if referred traders don't deposit and keep trading. RevShare, in particular, only generates ongoing income while the underlying trader is active — and the reality of fixed-time contract trading is that most retail traders lose money over time, and losing traders eventually stop funding accounts. That's the mechanic behind RevShare, not a side note.

How to Move Up the Tier System

Tiers reset and recalculate on a monthly basis, based on total FTDs across your referred client base in that calendar month. Practical ways affiliates typically increase volume:

• Diversify traffic sources rather than relying on one channel, so a drop in one doesn't tank your monthly FTD count.
• Focus on channels with warm, already-interested audiences (people actively researching fixed-time trading) over cold outreach, since conversion rate matters as much as raw traffic volume.
• Use the sub-affiliate program to add partners under you — their FTDs don't count toward your own tier, but their commission does add to your total income independent of your tier level.
• Track monthly FTD counts in the dashboard and adjust content or channel mix before the month closes, rather than after.
