Bonus offers
How trading bonuses actually work, what they cost in flexibility, and the conditions we publish before you accept one.
Mechanics
What a trading bonus actually is
A trading bonus is credit added to an account's usable margin, not cash you own. It increases the position size the account can support, which increases both the potential gain and the potential loss on the same market move. It is leverage delivered through a different door.
Because it is credit rather than deposit, a bonus behaves differently from your own money in the two situations that matter: when equity falls toward the stop-out level, and when you request a withdrawal. Any offer worth accepting states plainly how it behaves in both.
The conditions
What to read before accepting
Three conditions determine whether a bonus is worth taking. First, the withdrawal condition: whether taking funds out removes the bonus, and whether it affects your own deposit. Second, any trading-volume requirement attached to converting or keeping the credit. Third, how the credit is treated when equity falls — whether it absorbs losses before your deposit does, or after.
A volume requirement is the one most often underestimated. A condition expressed in lots can imply far more trading than a client would otherwise do, and the spread cost of reaching it can exceed the bonus. Do that arithmetic before accepting, not afterwards.
Our rules
How we handle promotions
Any promotion we run is opt-in, never applied automatically, and its full written terms are linked from the offer itself rather than held somewhere you have to hunt for. Where an offer affects withdrawals, that is stated in the offer, not discovered when you request funds.
Promotions are also restricted in some jurisdictions, and where that applies the offer will not be available to you regardless of eligibility elsewhere. We would rather publish a short list of real offers with complete terms than a long one that needs footnotes.
