CT Partners is Comfortrade’s affiliate program - a separate portal with its own login, not linked to a trading account. The CT-Aff dashboard interface is available in three languages: Russian, English and Ukrainian. We looked at a real partner account and break down in this piece how the tariffs, calculations, payouts and other tools actually work in practice.
The CT Partners affiliate program website
Signing up and getting started
Registration requires an email, a password of at least 8 characters, first and last name, and a Telegram contact. You can also join via another partner’s sub-affiliate link. The email confirmation link is valid for 24 hours, and a new confirmation email can be requested no more than once a minute.
After registration, the account enters a "pending moderation" status: the dashboard opens with a window asking you to contact a manager and describe your traffic sources. Full access to the sections opens only after that conversation.
RevShare rates
The reward model is RevShare with five tiers that are recalculated automatically based on the number of FTDs (first-time deposits from referrals) in a settlement period. The starting rate upon registration is 30%.
- Novice - 30% at 0-4 FTD per period
- Basic - 50% at 5-24 FTD
- Advanced - 60% at 25-59 FTD
- Pro - 70% at 60-149 FTD
- VIP - 80% at 150+ FTD
A rate increase applies to the next settlement period, not retroactively: the days before recalculation stay at the previous rate. The dashboard also has a "Secret" tier with individually negotiated terms discussed with a manager.
How earnings are calculated
The calculation base is Net Gaming: the platform’s income from referrals’ real trades, minus payment system fees. For each trade, a trader’s loss adds the stake amount to the positive side, a win subtracts the trader’s net profit, and a tie counts as zero. Demo accounts are excluded.
Bonuses are tracked as a separate negative column: while a referral is still wagering through a deposit bonus, that portion of trades doesn’t count toward Net Gaming, and once the wagering requirement is met and the bonus becomes real money, the full amount is deducted in one go.
Partner income = (Net Gaming + Bonuses) × the RevShare rate in effect at the moment a given trade closed. Accruals are tracked in the ledger to 6 decimal places; only the final payout is rounded to cents.
Payment system fees
Payment system fees reduce the base used for the Net Gaming calculation, not the amount the trader receives:
- card deposit - 8.75% of the deposit amount
- crypto deposit - a flat 2 USD per deposit
- card withdrawal - 3.5% plus a flat 20 UAH (converted to dollars at the rate on confirmation)
- crypto withdrawal - no fee
The fee falls on the partner in proportion to their rate: for example, at a 50% RevShare rate, the partner bears half of the fee amount.
Settlement period and payouts
The settlement period is 14 calendar days in UTC, on a shared calendar for all partners at once rather than counted separately from each partner’s own registration date. Once the period closes, a payout request is created automatically - there is no manual payout request button in the dashboard.
The payout threshold is 50 USD, including the accumulated balance. If the amount is below the threshold (including zero or a negative balance), it carries over into the next period as a "Previously" line. A negative balance is a debt: it also carries over and doesn’t reset on its own.
Payouts are made only in USDT on the TRC20 network. The wallet is added in the dashboard ahead of time; if there’s no wallet by the time the period closes, the amount simply rolls over. If a partner already has a request in "Pending" status, a new one isn’t created - the balance rolls over again.
Links, promo codes and traffic tags
A partner can have up to 5 named links (up to 64 characters each). The code in the URL is either auto-generated or set manually - 4 to 20 characters, Latin letters and digits.
Each link can have one promo code attached, once: 2-7 characters, starting with a letter, uppercase Latin letters and digits only. A promo code lets someone register on the platform without clicking the link itself. It can’t be changed, and it’s permanently lost if the link is deleted.
The click attribution window is 2 hours - that’s how long the cookie lives after someone clicks the link. The trader-to-partner link itself is permanent once registration is complete. Along with the link parameter, the URL also accepts traffic tags: click_id, sub_id1 through sub_id5, site_id, cid - they’re stored as-is and returned to the partner via the API.
Statistics in the dashboard
The "Statistics" section is a day-by-day table with a total for the period: date, clicks, sign-ups, traders, trades, volume, FTD, FTD value, deposits, withdrawals, Net Gaming, bonuses, partner income. You can filter by a specific referral link, the current or a past settlement period, quick presets (today, yesterday, 7 days, 30 days, month) or a custom date range.
Clicking a specific day opens the list of referrals for that day. There’s also a trader search by ID with a card showing: country, registration date, number of deposits, balance, trades, Net Gaming, partner income and last activity date - even if a trader deleted their account, they stay in the statistics marked as "Deleted." The table can be exported to CSV.
Sub-affiliate program
A partner has a separate link for inviting other partners - distinct from the links used to attract traders. The default rate is 5%, calculated on the amount actually paid out to the sub-partner rather than their turnover: a reduced or rejected payout doesn’t generate a commission.
The sub-partner lock-in period is 2 years from their registration date. The term is fixed at that moment and doesn’t change retroactively, even if the program’s terms change later. The sub-partners table shows: the partner, status, rate, how much has been paid to them, how much has been credited to the inviter, and the date accruals run through.
Partner API
API access opens after 5 FTD over the account’s entire lifetime - a threshold that matches the move to the "Basic" tier. Staff can open access early or block it regardless of the threshold.
Up to 5 active keys are available per account. A key is shown only once and carries the prefix ctp_live_. During rotation, the old key keeps working for another 24 hours - so an integration doesn’t go down the moment the key changes.
A key can hold the permissions: referrals, earnings, withdrawals, stats, trade. The trade permission is only granted at the moment a key is created and can’t be added retroactively to an existing one. The API exposes a referral list and trader card, a segment of inactive traders, an earnings feed, an activity feed, payouts, statistics with grouping, and an instrument catalog with current payout rates. The inactive-trader segment defaults to a 5-day window (configurable from 1 to 365), and newly registered traders aren’t included in exports until 24 hours have passed.
Page sizes are capped: referrals at 10 per page (max 50), feeds at 5 (max 10), segments at 100 (max 1000), payouts show the last 5. The API rejects requests from the US and Israel. The dashboard includes built-in documentation and a test page for trying out requests.
Partner promo accounts
Up to 5 of a partner’s own trading accounts can be linked to the account - a partner can trade on them personally, including via the API, for example for streams or educational content. The API rate limit is 20 requests a minute and 500 a day per account, not per key. These promo accounts are fully excluded from the partner’s own statistics and earnings: trades on them don’t count as referrals.
Dashboard statuses
Besides the "pending moderation" status at sign-up, the dashboard has three other states. A low-traffic freeze kicks in if a partner’s traders made zero deposits in a closed period: the dashboard closes with a window asking to contact support, it’s lifted manually, and it doesn’t affect accruals or payouts - the period still closes and pays out as usual.
Under a soft block, links, promo codes and the sub-affiliate link stop attaching new traffic and API keys are revoked, but all previously attached traffic stays credited to the partner and keeps generating earnings. Under a full block, the dashboard is closed and no new payouts are created, but the balance doesn’t disappear and carries over, and previously attributed traders remain linked to the partner.
Frequently asked questions
What is the starting RevShare rate for new partners?
30% - every new account starts at this tier ("Novice", 0-4 FTD per settlement period). The rate rises automatically based on FTD count and applies from the next period.
How often does CT Partners pay out?
The settlement period is 14 calendar days in UTC. Once it closes, a payout request is created automatically if the accumulated balance has reached 50 USD; there is no manual payout request in the dashboard.
What currency are partner payouts made in?
Only USDT on the TRC20 network. A wallet needs to be added in the dashboard before the settlement period closes, or the amount rolls over to the next one.
How many referral links can I create?
Up to 5 named links per partner, and each one can have its own promo code attached once.
When does partner API access open up?
After 5 FTD over the account’s entire lifetime - this threshold matches the move to the "Basic" tariff tier.
Conclusion
CT Partners is a program with clear, automated mechanics: the RevShare rate recalculates itself based on FTD count, payouts are generated without manual requests, and payment system fees are transparently passed on to the partner in proportion to their rate. A few things worth keeping in mind: payouts are only available in USDT TRC20, and a withdrawal request isn’t created until the balance reaches 50 USD. When working with the program, it’s worth relying primarily on the terms inside the actual dashboard.
