Which links carry referral parameters

Two places on the whole site: the registration link inside opening an account and attaching the code, and the registration link on referral code and fee discount. Both carry our parameter, and both say so immediately next to the link.

Every other Binance link on this site — the fee schedule, help centre pages, announcements — carries no referral parameter. Those are citations, not revenue: when we describe a rule, we point you at where the official wording lives so you can check it yourself.

What we get

If you open an account through a link carrying our parameter or with our code, the Binance referral programme returns part of your subsequent trading fees to us. The proportion is set by the platform and we cannot change it. The money comes out of the fee you pay the platform; it is not charged to you separately.

Which also means: if you do not trade, we earn nothing. That is the whole model, and there is nothing more complicated underneath it.

What it means for you

• It does not make you pay more. The fee schedule is public and the maker and taker rates are the same whether or not a code is attached.
• It may make you pay a little less. An account registered with a referral code can receive up to 20% off trading fees; the actual rate is whatever Binance is displaying at the time.
• It has no effect on launch eligibility. The four lines count assets and time. Whether a code was entered does not enter into it.

The mechanism itself, where the limits are, and why it has to be done at the moment the account is created are all in referral code and fee discount.

Whether it affects the content

Our position is that writing the costs down clearly pays better than overstating the benefits. Which is why the site is full of "this line is not for you", "sit this round out" and "chasing the high score bands is not worth it" — none of which help short-term conversion, and all of which are true.

In practice that becomes a few writing rules: platform figures are given as ranges with the month checked rather than stated flatly; returns are never promised and always carry the risk qualifier; the current official page governs. Those are set out in the editorial policy, and when we get something wrong it goes in corrections.

Our relationship with Binance

POOLROW is not the official Binance website and has no affiliation, agency or employment relationship with Binance. We are an independently operated information site. We are not an exchange, we hold no one's funds, and we can take no action on your account.

The Binance name and mark appear here to identify which platform we are describing and where a referral link points. The relevant trade marks belong to their owners.

Other

We do not accept paid reviews or paid placement that would affect editorial judgement. There are no ad slots and no third-party advertising scripts. What we do and do not collect is in the privacy note — briefly, there is no analytics code on this site.
