Be careful when doing rebates and guiding orders on the mainland. Never say that as long as the funds are not in your hands, you are fine. As long as your physical body is in the country and you are bringing in new clients for rebates and guiding orders, you face a high risk.
1. Illegal Business Operations
If you are involved in contracts/leverage, domestic courts now generally consider high-leverage contracts as illegal futures trading. If you guide others to engage in contracts and earn commission rebates, it is equivalent to illegally operating futures business.
2. Fraud
If your rebate model includes losses from clients (that is, money lost by fans when they are liquidated, which the exchange gives to you), or if you knowingly guide orders while aware of manipulation actions like needle insertion or unplugging network cables (
#野鸡交易所 ), this is not merely a violation; it is called gang fraud. Many have been sentenced heavily in the past two years.
3. Operating a Casino
This is a recent trend in judicial recognition. There are cases from the Supreme People's Procuratorate and local courts showing that some platforms with high leverage, even those similar to "binary options" betting on price increases or decreases, have been directly classified as gambling websites. Your actions as a recruiter (
#kol ), earning from
#返佣 , directly constitute an accomplice to "operating a casino."
4. Organizing and Leading Pyramid Schemes
If your rebate link is not linear but structured as "you bring A, A brings B, B brings C," with more than three levels, and you siphon off profits based on the number of people or transaction volume, this directly violates pyramid scheme laws.
5. Assisting in Crime / Concealment of Money Laundering
If fans register and recharge under your guidance, and if the money from fans is dirty money (such as funds from fraud), or if the platform itself is involved in crime, the "rebate" you earn becomes tainted money. Freezing the cards is just the first step; going in for tea is the second step.
When the police investigate, they not only look into bank transaction records but also directly trace the on-chain data from the exchange, the agent's backend, and chat records in WeChat/Telegram groups. "Screenshots of you calling orders in the group + the rebate flow you received in your wallet ($USDT )," this already forms a complete chain of evidence for conviction.
