3. Earn: Receive potential commissions based on the trading activity of your referred clients.
   
   1. Revenue Share: A percentage of the net revenue from your referred clients' trades.
   2. Turnover: Earnings from client trading volume (e.g., on Digital Options, Multipliers).
   3. CPA (Cost Per Acquisition): A fixed fee for each new depositing client (EU only - excluding Spain and Portugal)
4. Tiered rewards: A tiered system (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) offers bonus rewards on your earnings as you reach higher commission levels.
5. Scale: Use the “Master Partner” plan to earn potential commissions by referring new partners.

Who are the partnerships for

Deriv's partnership programme is tailored for a wide range of digital entrepreneurs:

• Influencers and content creators: individuals who produce trading-related content, reviews, or market analysis to guide new traders
• Trading educators and mentors: professionals who teach trading strategies and want to recommend a reliable broker to their students
• Community Managers: leaders who manage engaged online trading groups, Telegram channels, or WhatsApp communities
• Software developers: innovators who can build custom trading apps and automated bots

What commission plans does Deriv offer?

Deriv offers three distinct commission models. Understanding the difference is key to maximising your potential earnings. For a comprehensive breakdown of how each commission structure works and which approach aligns with your content strategy, explore the detailed commission structure guide.

Revenue Share: Earn up to 45% of your clients' net trading revenue. This model rewards quality over quantity, making it ideal for partners who focus on education and relationship building. You benefit when Deriv benefits, creating aligned incentives for quality client referrals.

Turnover-based: Earn based on trading volume, with daily payouts for products like CFDs. This commission triggers immediately when your referrals place trades, regardless of profit or loss outcomes. Different Deriv platforms generate varying commission structures - CFD platforms like Deriv MT5 and Deriv cTrader offer daily settlements, while options platforms operate through stake-based calculations.

Cost-per-acquisition (CPA): Earn a fixed payment for each qualified client who signs up and meets deposit requirements. CPA commissions pay you a predetermined amount when referred clients complete specific qualification criteria, typically involving account creation, initial deposit, and basic trading activity within a specified timeframe.

Note: CPA availability varies by region and current programme terms.

Master Partner: A 20% flat-rate reward for expanding the Deriv partner network. This is an extra bonus paid by Deriv—it does not deduct from your sub-partner’s earnings.
