The Digital Surge crypto affiliate program lets any verified member in Australia earn commission by referring others to the exchange. You earn 50% of the net trading fees generated by the people you refer, paid every month. Digital Surge is AUSTRAC-registered and Australian-based.
It's a referral program open to every verified Digital Surge member. It rewards you for introducing new customers to the exchange: when someone joins using your unique code and starts trading, you earn a commission on the trading fees they generate. Participation is governed by the Affiliate Agreement Standard Terms, and it pays an ongoing commission rather than a one-off bonus.
"Net trading fees" are the fees a member you referred pays each time they buy, sell or swap on Digital Surge. See our trading fees for the current rate. You keep the 50% share for as long as the people you refer keep trading. It isn't a one-off, so it builds as your referrals stay active.
Getting started
Getting started takes four steps. Everything runs from the affiliate section of your account, so there's no separate portal, software or extra sign-up to manage.
Sign in to your Digital Surge account and open the affiliate section. Your unique code is generated automatically for every verified member, so there's nothing to set up or apply for. It's already there, ready to copy. This same code identifies everyone who signs up on your recommendation, which is how your commission is credited.
Spread your code using the built-in Copy Link button, or post it straight to Facebook or X (Twitter) from your account. Anyone who signs up through your link is automatically tied to your code, so you're credited for every eligible member you bring on board. There's no manual tracking to do yourself.
Once someone you referred starts trading, your commission builds automatically: every buy, sell and swap they make adds to your balance, with nothing for you to collect or claim. Your earnings accumulate through the month.
Your account's affiliate section shows everything at a glance: your code, how many people have signed up through it, your lifetime commission earned and your current unpaid commission. For a line-by-line view, open the transaction section and filter by commissions to see each amount as it's credited.
This page is general information only and not a recommendation. The 50% share and the fees it's based on are current as at July 2026 and can change at any time, so check the live figures in your account. Taking part in the program is governed by the Affiliate Agreement Standard Terms.
There's no extra sign-up, application or approval step: completing Digital Surge's standard identity verification is all it takes. If you don't have an account yet, creating one and verifying your identity is the only prerequisite. Once you're verified, you can join and start referring straight away. The four steps above show exactly where to find your code.
Digital Surge pays your affiliate commission automatically once a month, with nothing to invoice or claim. Everything you earn from your referrals' trading during a month is paid out by the 15th of the following month. The exact amount is shown in your account, so you can always see what you've earned and what's been paid.
Bringing a large audience, a media platform or a business? Digital Surge runs a separate Corporate Affiliate Program built for high-volume partners, with arrangements suited to that scale. Explore that program for the details. This page covers the standard affiliate program for individual members.
FAQ
A crypto affiliate (or referral) program rewards existing customers for bringing new users to an exchange. The platform gives each affiliate a unique code or link, tracks who signs up through it, and pays the affiliate a share of the fees those new customers generate. It's performance-based: you're only rewarded when the people you refer actually use the platform.
The mechanics are already automatic once you have your code (see the steps above). What actually determines your results is who you reach and how you promote. Target people with a genuine interest in buying crypto: friends, family or a relevant social audience in Australia, rather than a broad or unrelated one. Promote honestly: stick to the claims Digital Surge actually makes, skip spammy or misleading messaging, and stay within the Affiliate Agreement Standard Terms, which set out what is and isn't allowed.
Crypto affiliate marketing is the broader industry term for this model, used by comparison sites, creators and individual members alike, not just Digital Surge. Rather than the platform paying upfront for advertising, it pays out only after the fact, as a cut of the activity you actually generate. On Digital Surge that cut is the 50% share described above, credited automatically as your referrals trade. There's no media buy, invoice or ad spend required on your side.
Yes. The Digital Surge affiliate program covers Bitcoin and every other coin your referrals trade. There's no separate Bitcoin program; you earn commission whenever someone you referred buys, sells or swaps any supported cryptocurrency, BTC included. See the trading fees that your commission is calculated from.
Absolutely. Send any friend in Australia your affiliate code; when they use it to create an account, deposit funds and start trading, you'll earn commission on the fees from their trades. They get set up on an established Australian exchange, and you're rewarded when they trade. Learn more about how Digital Surge works.
