This tactic is not smart. I'd argue it is pretty much stupid, since traders are not fools and would stay miles away from such an exchange (that would allegedly grab some of their profits). In fact, I've never heard about any exchange using something similar before. Could you please post a link where this bonus accruement on deposit and subtraction on withdrawal is described in greater detail (preferably at Bter itself)?
I wanna see it with my own eyes
I just logged in our bter exchange and seems that they have removed this feature of +- 1% bonus.
They have added something new VIP tier which affects the trading fee, but still no batch of payment

They must be closely following this thread, lol. If I remember correctly, when they restarted operation after the hack, the fees had been cancelled for a month or so. It doesn't look like it helped them much, though. Further, many Chinese exchanges (and Bter
is a Chinese exchange, after all) don't charge trading fees altogether...
So whatever they come up with next, their days are obviously numbered
There were no fees and I remember it clearly and was really good because the profit for traders was really higher.
Chinese most of the time has proved that aren't honest on things that they and that's why most of their target is inside their country.
