The Quotex affiliate program (Quotex Affiliate Center) pays affiliates up to 80% of the broker’s revenue from referred traders, making it one of the highest-paying affiliate programs among binary options platforms. Quotex currently has over 380,000 active affiliates generating more than $5 million in combined weekly payouts. The platform converts well — Quotex’s $10 minimum deposit, no-registration demo account, and simple trading interface produce higher sign-up-to-deposit conversion rates than most competing platforms.

This guide covers the full commission structure across all 7 affiliate levels, how payments work (including the methods Quotex does and does not support), the affiliate tools available in the dashboard, how to sign up, and an honest assessment of the limitations and considerations before you commit to promoting Quotex.

How the Quotex Affiliate Program Works

Quotex pays affiliates a percentage of the broker’s revenue or trading volume generated by referred traders. You promote Quotex using a unique referral link, new traders sign up and deposit through that link, and you earn commission based on their activity. The more active depositors you refer in a given month, the higher your commission rate becomes from the following month.

Quotex offers two commission models:

• Revenue share: You earn a percentage of the broker’s net profit from your referred traders. If your referred trader loses, the broker profits — and you earn a share. If the trader wins, the broker earns less (or nothing), and your commission is lower.
• Turnover share: You earn a flat percentage of your referred traders’ total trading volume, regardless of whether the trader wins or loses. This model produces more predictable income but typically pays less per trader.

Quotex does not offer CPA (cost-per-acquisition) or CPL (cost-per-lead) commission models. Revenue share and turnover share are the only options. Your first payout requires a minimum of 10 first-time deposits (FTDs) from your referred traders.

Commission Structure

Quotex uses a 7-level affiliate tier system where your commission rate increases based on the number of deposits your referred traders make in the previous month. This is deposits, not first-time deposits — returning depositors count toward your level progression.

Revenue Share vs. Turnover Share: Which Is Better?

Revenue share pays more per trader but is volatile — if your referred traders have a winning streak, your commission drops because the broker earns less. Turnover share pays a flat percentage on volume regardless of trader outcomes, which produces steadier income.

Example: A referred trader deposits $1,000 and generates $10,000 in trading volume in a month. If the broker earns $500 profit from that trader:

• Revenue share (80%): You earn $400 (80% of $500 broker profit)
• Turnover share (5%): You earn $500 (5% of $10,000 volume) — regardless of broker profit

At the highest levels, turnover share can outperform revenue share because it is independent of whether individual traders win or lose. However, most affiliates start on revenue share because the entry-level rate (50%) is still competitive compared to other binary options programs.

Affiliate Payments

Quotex pays affiliates weekly, and payments are typically processed within 24–48 hours of requesting a withdrawal. This is faster than most affiliate programs in the trading space, where bi-weekly or monthly payouts are standard.

Available Payment Methods

Payout Requirements

Your first payout requires a minimum of 10 FTDs (first-time deposits) from your referred traders. After that, you can withdraw weekly. The minimum withdrawal is $100 for all non-crypto methods (e-wallets, local payments, bank transfers) and $1,000 for cryptocurrency payouts (USDT, USDC, Binance Pay). These thresholds are subject to change — check the Affiliate Center for the latest figures.

Affiliate Tools and Features

The Quotex Affiliate Center provides a dashboard with tracking links, promo code generation, postback integration, a Telegram notification bot, banners, landing pages, and basic reporting. The tool set covers the essentials, though it has notable gaps in analytics and data export.

Referral Links and Landing Pages

The dashboard lets you generate unique tracking links pointed at Quotex’s homepage, sign-up page, or specific landing pages. You can create multiple links to track different traffic sources (e.g., one link for your website, another for YouTube, another for Telegram). The selection of pre-made landing pages is limited, but Quotex’s landing pages convert well — the simple interface and instant demo access drive high sign-up rates.

Promo Codes

From Level 2 onwards, you can generate deposit bonus promo codes for your referred traders. The maximum bonus percentage you can offer increases with your level:

Promo codes are an effective acquisition tool — traders searching for “Quotex promo code” are typically ready to deposit, which makes them high-intent referrals. For more on how promo codes work from the trader’s perspective, see our Quotex promo code guide.

Sub-Affiliate Program

The sub-affiliate program lets you recruit other people as Quotex affiliates and earn a percentage of their commission. Your sub-affiliate commission rate depends on your level:

Sub-affiliate income is passive — you earn from your recruits’ activity without additional effort. However, the reporting for sub-affiliate earnings is limited: you see a list of recruited affiliates and weekly earnings summaries, but there is no filtering, no total profit display, and no data export.

Telegram Bot

The Affiliate Center includes a Telegram bot that sends real-time notifications about your affiliate activity — new sign-ups, deposits, and commission updates — directly to your Telegram account. You can connect it from the “Telegram bot” tab in the dashboard sidebar. For affiliates managing traffic across multiple channels, this is useful for monitoring conversions without logging into the dashboard constantly.

Postback (Server-to-Server Tracking)

Quotex supports postback URLs for server-to-server conversion tracking. You can configure postback endpoints in the “Postback” tab of the Affiliate Center, which sends automated HTTP requests to your tracking system when specific events occur (registration, deposit, first trade). This is essential for affiliates running paid traffic who need accurate attribution data in their own analytics platforms.

Affiliate Contests

Quotex regularly runs affiliate contests with prize pools that can reach up to $500,000, distributed among the top 30 affiliates. These contests typically run for 2–3 months and are based on total referral deposits or FTDs during the contest period. Details are posted in the Affiliate Center dashboard when contests are active.

How to Sign Up

Signing up for the Quotex affiliate program takes about one minute.

1. Go to the Quotex Affiliate Center and click “Sign Up.”
2. Register with your email address. You can also use Telegram for registration.
3. Verify your email and log in to the Affiliate Center dashboard.
4. Set up your payment method and complete KYC verification. We recommend doing this immediately to avoid withdrawal delays later.
5. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to secure your account. The Affiliate Center handles real money — treat security seriously.
6. Generate your first referral link in the “Links” tab and start promoting.

Limitations and Considerations

The Quotex affiliate program pays well and converts well, but it has practical limitations and one fundamental consideration that every potential affiliate should weigh before signing up.

1. Statistics and Reporting Are Weak

The Affiliate Center dashboard shows basic metrics: clicks, sign-ups, FTDs, and commissions. But the reporting tools have significant gaps that become frustrating at scale:

• No data export. You cannot export your statistics to Excel or CSV. If you want to build performance reports, you have to manually copy data from the dashboard.
• No monthly view per tracking link. To see how a specific link performed over a period, you need to filter by link, then filter by date range, then manually add up the revenue. With dozens of active links, this is tedious and time-consuming.
• Sub-affiliate reporting is worse. You get a list of recruited affiliates and weekly earning summaries — no totals, no filtering, no export.

For small-volume affiliates, this is manageable. For affiliates managing multiple traffic sources, the lack of proper analytics and export functionality is a genuine operational problem.

2. No Wire Transfer Option

Quotex does not support international wire transfers or Bitcoin for affiliate payouts. If wire transfer is important to your workflow, this is a limitation. However, if you are comfortable receiving stablecoin payments (USDT, USDC, Binance Pay), Quotex processes these quickly — though the minimum crypto withdrawal is $1,000. Non-crypto methods (local banks, e-wallets) have a $100 minimum. For affiliates in Southeast Asia, local bank transfers are also available. Perfect Money and EPROFIT are additional options, though they require their own account setup.

3. Quotex Is an Unregulated Broker

Quotex is operated by ON SPOT GROUP LLC, registered in St. Kitts and Nevis, and does not hold a licence from a recognised financial regulator. Binary options also carry a built-in house edge — on a typical 85% payout, traders need to win over 54% of their trades just to break even. These are standard characteristics of the binary options affiliate space, but worth understanding before you commit.

What this means for affiliates:

• Product awareness. Binary options have a mathematical house edge built into the payout structure. The high affiliate commissions are a direct result of this model — it is how every binary options affiliate program works, not unique to Quotex.
• No affiliate protection. If Quotex changes its commission terms or disputes your earnings, there is no external regulator to arbitrate. The relationship is governed by Quotex’s Affiliate Agreement, which can be updated without notice. This is a risk factor worth considering when deciding how much of your business to build around a single program.

4. Promotional Rules and Restrictions

Like most trading affiliate programs, Quotex has rules about how you can promote the platform. These are fairly standard across the industry, but worth reviewing because violations can result in commission forfeiture.

What you cannot do:

• Use the Quotex brand name in domain names or as a paid search keyword (Clause 4.1.5)
• Guarantee profits or use phrases like “make money” or “win money” in your promotional content
• Use cash imagery, luxury lifestyle visuals, or aggressive marketing tactics — if a referred client deposits more than they intended due to aggressive marketing, their account may be closed (4.1.16)
• Run direct-to-link ads (e.g., a Google Ad that sends users straight to your affiliate link with no landing page)
• Promote Quotex in restricted regions, including the EU, UK, US, and Canada

What you must do:

• Include visible risk warnings in all promotional content
• Describe both advantages and disadvantages of the platform (4.1.10) — one-sided promotional content violates the agreement

None of these are unusual. Binary options and forex affiliate programs almost universally prohibit brand bidding, profit guarantees, and promotion in jurisdictions where the product is banned or restricted. The key difference with Quotex is that enforcement can be unpredictable — since there is no external regulator overseeing the program, disputes over what counts as a violation are resolved by Quotex, not a third party.

If you are comfortable with these trade-offs, the Quotex affiliate program is among the most lucrative in its category. For TIC’s full assessment of the trading platform itself, see our Quotex Review.

Conclusion

The Quotex affiliate program is one of the highest-paying in the binary options space. The commission structure is aggressive (up to 80% revenue share or 5% turnover), the platform converts well due to its low entry barriers ($10 minimum deposit, instant demo, simple interface), and payouts are processed weekly — typically within 24–48 hours.

The practical downsides are the weak reporting tools (no data export, no per-link monthly views) and the absence of wire transfer payouts. The broader consideration is that Quotex is an unregulated binary options broker — the high commissions reflect the product’s risk profile, and affiliates should be aware of the house edge built into binary options.
