Binance Tightens Rules Against Bot Traders
Date: 2025-06-05 Author: Gabriel Deangelo Categories: BUSINESS
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has officially banned the use of any automated means — such as bots, scripts, and other tools without human intervention — in the Alpha Points loyalty program. The innovation is aimed at combating dishonest activity that undermines the principles of fair bonus distribution on the platform.
The notice from the Binance team emphasizes that any actions related to automation will be considered a violation of the rules. The ban includes any attempts to simulate user activity in order to receive additional points within the program.
The company has also updated its internal monitoring and risk management systems. These changes will allow it to more effectively identify accounts using automated tools. If violations are detected, Binance reserves the right not only to cancel bonuses received in this way, but also to restrict access to the user's account.
The Alpha Points program is designed to encourage activity on the platform. Users earn points by completing tasks or participating in offers related to various projects. However, the desire for quick profits led some traders to use programmable bots that automatically perform the actions required to earn points.
This approach caused discontent among both the platform developers and part of the crypto community, which had previously criticized the Alpha Points system. Some users accused Binance of moving away from the principles of decentralization and a level playing field, especially against the backdrop of the emergence of automated strategies.
Binance emphasized in its statement that it intends to maintain a fair environment for all participants and will take strict measures against any attempts at deception. The company made it clear that maintaining transparency and equality among traders is a priority against the backdrop of increasing competition and activity within the platform.
Thus, the fight against bots has become part of a broader strategy to improve trust in Binance loyalty programs and strengthen its position in the market.
