Many trading competitions present complex entry frameworks that can make participation less accessible for traders. This often leaves traders unsure about what they need to do to actually participate.
BitDelta’s Winter WonderTrade Festival takes a simpler approach. The process is broken down into three clear steps, allowing traders to go from signing up to actively competing in a matter of minutes. Here’s how participants can enter the $1 million USDT derivatives campaign running throughout December.
Step 1: Account Creation and KYC Verification
The first step is registering on BitDelta through the campaign page. Registration is available on both desktop and mobile.
To take part in the festival, traders must complete Know Your Customer (KYC) to verify identification. This involves submitting a government-issued photo ID, verifying your phone number and doing a quick liveness check. In most cases, verification is completed within minutes, but during busy periods it may take a little longer.
Completing verification does more than grant access to the campaign. It also unlocks full platform features, including higher withdrawal limits, access to high volatility tokens as well as all derivatives products. Existing BitDelta users who are already verified can skip this step and move straight to meeting the weekly qualification requirements. The campaign applies the same rules to both new and existing traders.
Step 2: Fresh Weekly Deposit of $100
Each weekly cycle requires traders to make a fresh deposit of at least $100 to be eligible. This amount is not cumulative, meaning funds deposited in earlier weeks cannot be reused. Every week starts with a clean slate, and the deposit requirement resets every Monday at 00:00 UTC, in line with the new weekly leaderboard.
BitDelta allows deposits through several methods, including crypto transfers as well as card payments and bank transfers via selected onramp providers. Crypto deposits usually confirm the fastest, while order payment methods may involve small processing fees depending on the provider.
Deposits can be made in multiple cryptocurrencies, although USDC and USDT are often the easiest options for clearly meeting and tracking the $100 minimum.
It’s important to note that internal transfers between BitDelta wallets do not count toward this requirement. The $100 deposit must be new capital entering the platform during that specific weekly period. This rule ensures fairness, so all participants, whether returning or new, qualify under the same conditions each week.
Step 3: Achieve $75,000 Derivatives Trading Volume
To meet the volume requirement, traders need to actively trade in BitDelta’s derivatives markets. Every derivatives trade counts toward the weekly total, no matter which pair is traded, whether the position is long or short, or whether the trade results in a profit or loss. Trading volume is tracked continuously and updated in real time on the campaign leaderboard.
The $75,000 requirement is based on total trading volume, not profit. This means traders don’t need to make $75,000 in gains. For example, someone could qualify by placing multiple smaller trades that add up to the target or by taking fewer, larger positions.
BitDelta also offers leverage of up to 100x, giving traders flexibility in how they approach the volume goal. However, since leverage increases both potential gains and losses, careful risk management is still important.
Participants can track their progress through the campaign dashboard, which shows their current weekly volume, leaderboard status (once qualified), and how much time remains in the week. This real-time visibility allows traders to plan their activity steadily across the cycle instead of rushing to meet the requirement at the last moment.
Tracking Your Progress and Rankings
A live leaderboard on the campaign page displays the top 50 traders by trading volume, along with each participant’s individual ranking even if they fall outside the top group. This allows traders to easily track their position at any point during the week.
The campaign page also keeps a record of past weekly leaderboards, allowing traders to review results and winners from earlier weeks whenever they want. Once a trader meets the qualification criteria, they appear on the current week’s leaderboard and are ranked based on total derivatives trading volume.
Rankings update in real time, showing not only a trader’s exact position but also how much additional volume is needed to move up. This level of transparency helps traders decide whether to increase their activity or hold their position as the week progresses.
Automatic Lucky Draw Entry
Lucky Draw winners are selected at random from all eligible participants, and the list of 50 winners will be published on the campaign page on January 1, 2026.
Traders only need to make a fresh deposit of at least $100 and complete $75,000 in derivatives trading volume and they will automatically qualify for the Lucky Draw. The deposit and trading volume counted toward eligibility are the same funds used for trading during the campaign, including for leaderboard positioning and weekly prize pool considerations. No additional deposit is required. Once these requirements are met, traders are automatically entered into the draw, there is no separate signup or additional step required.
Importantly, qualifying in any weekly cycle is enough to secure entry into the January 1 Lucky Draw. This creates an extra incentive for participants who may not finish among the top performers on the weekly leaderboard, offering an additional reward route alongside the main competition.
Entering the Final Week of the Winter WonderTrade Festival
As the Winter WonderTrade Festival moves into its final week, traders can still participate by completing the deposit and trading volume requirements for the current weekly cycle. In line with the festival’s weekly reset format, both the deposit criteria and trading volume benchmarks refresh every Monday, ensuring each week operates as an independent competition.
This structure allows traders to step in during the final stretch based on market conditions or available capital, without any impact from earlier weeks. With December drawing to a close, the last week presents one final opportunity to compete, perform, and feature on the leaderboard – entirely on its own merit.
