Bitget is best known for copy trading and competitive fees, but new users often skip the referral field at sign-up. This guide uses BGOfficial: bind the referral code first, then KYC, security, deposit, first trade, and only later touch copy trading and futures.

Fee wording first:

• BGOfficial: new users registering via referral can join Bitget's current "up to 20% trading fee benefit / rebate" campaign.
• BGB holding discount: Bitget's platform token BGB can be used to cut trading fees. A common example is spot fees moving from 0.10% to about 0.08%. This is a separate mechanism.
• They are not automatically added into a guaranteed 40%. Referral rebate depends on campaign and account; BGB discount depends on holdings and fee page.
• New-user packages, experience funds, mystery boxes and "$6,200 USDT" figures are task-reward pools, not cash dropped into your balance at registration.

Why new users should use BGOfficial

1The code defines rebate ownership

Bitget's Referral Code marks which source the new account came from. Fee rebates, new-user task eligibility and campaign access usually attach to this relationship.

Full Bitget beginner flow

Register from the partner link

Open https://partner.bitget.com/bg/BGOfficial, expand Invite Code / Referral Code, confirm BGOfficial, then submit.

Use an email or phone you check daily

Gmail or Outlook is fine. Use a strong, unique password. Select your country or region truthfully — KYC, P2P and fiat channels depend on it.

Download the official app

• iOS: App Store, Bitget Limited
• Android: Google Play or official APK from bitget.com
• Do not install Bitget.apk from groups, cloud drives or short links

Complete KYC

Prepare: name, country or region, ID document, face verification.

• Capture all corners of the document, no glare
• Good lighting, no hat or mask
• Valid document

Basic KYC usually unlocks spot, futures, P2P and basic withdrawals. Advanced KYC raises limits.

Security matters more than deposit

• Google Authenticator: store backup codes offline
• Fund password: different from login password
• Anti-Phishing Code: appears in official emails
• Withdrawal whitelist plus withdrawal cool-down
• Do not rely only on SMS as second factor

Small USDT deposit

On-chain rule: Bitget receive network must match sender network. First time, send 10 to 20 USDT.

First spot trade

Trade → Spot → BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT, start with a 50 to 100 USDT market order. After execution, check the fee in Order History.

Copy trading — Bitget's strength

• Copy Trading: check win rate, drawdown, copiers and history
• Start with small capital, do not copy someone with full balance immediately
• Copying is not capital protection — the original strategy's losses are still yours

New-user tasks

Go to Reward Center / Tasks:

• KYC task
• First deposit task
• First spot or futures task
• Experience funds, fee vouchers, mystery boxes, position boost vouchers

Common misconceptions

Misconception 1: BGOfficial guarantees "lifetime 40% fee discount"

No such guarantee. BGOfficial is up to 20% referral benefit / rebate; BGB is a separate holding discount. Actual rates depend on your account fee page.

Misconception 2: You can always ask support to add the code later

In most cases, Bitget does not allow adding or changing the referral relationship after registration. Use the correct link from the start.

Misconception 3: Copy trading = guaranteed profit

Copy trading only automates following someone else's trades. Even top traders have losing streaks. Futures copy trading can lose capital very fast.

Misconception 4: Experience funds = withdrawable USDT

Experience funds, vouchers and mystery boxes are usually for margin, fee offset or loss coverage. Whether profits can be withdrawn depends on campaign terms.

New-user checklist

FAQ

What Bitget referral code should I use?

BGOfficial. Link: https://partner.bitget.com/bg/BGOfficial

How much can BGOfficial save?

Common wording is up to 20% trading fee benefit / rebate. Not every trade gets exactly 20% off, and it is not guaranteed cashback.

What is BGB?

BGB is Bitget's platform token. Holding and meeting conditions can unlock fee discounts — commonly spot fees drop from 0.10% to about 0.08%.

Can I add BGOfficial after I already registered?

Usually very difficult. Check User Center → Referral / Invitation for your current relationship. If already bound to another referrer, you usually cannot change it.

Is Bitget copy trading good for beginners?

Safer than blindly trading futures yourself, but not a free pass. Start small, pick traders with low drawdown, understand the stats before scaling up.

What is the $6,200 USDT about?

It is a marketing figure for the current new-user task reward pool, including experience funds, vouchers and mystery boxes. It is not usually 6,200 directly withdrawable USDT.

Risk warning
