Affiliate Program
Affiliate commissions are flat dollar amounts per sale, not a percentage of the price. One-Phase Challenges pay $10/$17/$25 by tier, Two-Phase Challenges pay $5/$10/$20, and Trade League pays $5 per entry and $2 per reset. Resets on a referred user's original account pay the same flat commission for the life of that account.
Updated
TradeSport pays affiliate commissions as flat dollar amounts per sale, set by product and account tier. Commissions are not a percentage of the price the customer pays — the flat amount is the same whether or not a site sale is running.
Standard commission rates
| Product | Tier | Account size | Commission |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-Phase Challenge | Beginner | $50,000 | $10 |
| One-Phase Challenge | Intermediate | $100,000 | $17 |
| One-Phase Challenge | Advanced | $150,000 | $25 |
| Two-Phase Challenge | Beginner | $50,000 | $5 |
| Two-Phase Challenge | Intermediate | $100,000 | $10 |
| Two-Phase Challenge | Advanced | $150,000 | $20 |
| Trade League | Entry | per entry | $5 |
| Trade League | Reset | per reset | $2 |
Resets pay commission too
Resets purchased on a referred user's original account pay you the same flat tier commission for the life of that account. For example, if your referred user resets their Advanced One-Phase Challenge, you earn $25 on that reset just like on the original entry.
What about additional accounts?
If your referred user buys additional, separate accounts, those purchases are commissioned only within 90 days of their original signup — see "How referral attribution works" for the details.
Earning more
High-volume affiliates can apply for the Premium Tier, which multiplies these flat rates — see "What is the Premium Tier?" Commissions on refunded or charged-back sales are reversed — see "When do affiliates NOT earn a commission?"
The full terms are in the Affiliate Agreement at /affiliate-agreement.

- Do affiliate codes stack with site sales?Standard affiliate codes do not stack with public promo codes — they mirror the active promotion and entering both does not double the discount. Premium Discount Codes are different: granted through a separate application (open to any active affiliate, no minimum signups), they add an additional percentage on top of the active promotion.
- Do affiliates get a 1099? How are affiliate taxes handled?You are responsible for all taxes on your affiliate income. Tax forms such as the 1099-NEC are issued where required by U.S. law, which is why accurate tax information is required at enrollment and KYC must be completed before your first payout. Consult a tax professional about how affiliate income applies to your situation.
- Does my affiliate code give my friend a discount?The standard affiliate code does not add any extra discount. It mirrors whatever promotion is currently active, so the final price is the same whether your friend uses your code or the public promo code. What your code does is attribute the purchase to you. Premium Discount Codes, granted separately, are the exception.
- How do I become a TradeSport affiliate?Join the TradeSport affiliate program by submitting an affiliate application and accepting the Affiliate Agreement. Approval is at TradeSport's discretion. Once approved, you get your own affiliate link and promo code, plus a dashboard to track referrals and commissions.
- How referral attribution works (cookies, codes, and time windows)Referrals are tracked by a 30-day first-touch cookie and by your unique promo code. A user who signs up through you is your referral on that original account for its lifetime. Additional accounts they buy are commissioned only within 90 days of signup. An existing user entering your code earns you that purchase only. If a cookie and a different affiliate's code conflict, the code wins that transaction.
