What is a Trading Bonus?

If you want to use brokers with bonus offers or other incentives, it’s important to understand the different varieties out there. From no deposit bonus schemes to explaining why free bonuses are usually not free at all, we will explore the bonus and promotion offers at a range of brokers. We detail the types of bonus available, why forex trading bonuses might differ and which strategy can maximise bonus returns. We also reveal why the key to bonuses is always to read the terms and conditions.

A bonus provides you with potentially free money for trading and is normally offered by a broker as an incentive to attract new clients who can then try trading with little or no risk.

There are different types of trading bonus offers and requirements for getting the bonus paid out to your account. We detail these below.

No Deposit Bonus

The no deposit bonus is the most lenient of bonuses, as it does not require you to deposit any funds at all before you get the bonus.

Normally, a broker requires a deposit before offering a bonus. However, with a “no deposit” bonus, anyone can receive the bonus after creating a new account.

It is important to note that there may still be requirements that must be met before trading profits can be withdrawn. These requirements may be stricter for this type of bonus compared to others. Typically, a certain total volume must be traded before withdrawing profits derived from the bonus money.

Considering the generosity of providing free money to new traders, it makes sense to have these requirements in place. It is important to ensure that you are comfortable with the requirements before signing up.

Welcome Bonus

A “welcome bonus” is a reward for new traders who sign up for an account. The purpose of this bonus is to make new clients feel welcome and make it easier for them to start trading immediately. A welcome bonus may require a deposit, so it is important to review the bonus requirements before signing up.

Deposit Match Bonus

The “deposit match bonus” matches a percentage of your deposit up to a certain maximum amount. For example, if the bonus is a 30% match up to $5,000 and you deposit $1,000, the broker will provide an additional $300 ($1,000 * 30%). The maximum bonus you can receive is $5,000, which requires a deposit of at least $16,667 ($16,667 * 30% = $5,000). Even if you deposit more, you will only receive the maximum $5,000.

Note: alternate definitions of the maximum amount have been seen, where “30% match up to $5,000” means that even if you deposit more than $5,000, you will only receive the 30% bonus on $5,000.

In other words, the maximum amount pertains to the maximum deposit on which you will get the 30% bonus, and NOT how much bonus you can maximally get.

Attention! For a serious trader the distinction between the two maximum amount definitions can make a big difference, so make sure you understand the requirements before signing up and depositing.

Considerations

Most bonus types have requirements regarding how much you have to trade before you can withdraw profits. For some traders this is okay, while to others it becomes a source of frustration.

Due to bonus abuse by many unscrupulous traders, the requirements have by necessity become so strict that you might be better off without one. However, it’s impossible to give individual advice, as it comes down to how much money you want to trade with and how long you can wait before you make a withdrawal.

In the long run a trading bonus will not make a huge difference to many traders, and might make things feel more complicated and thus spoil the joy of trading. Only use a bonus if you feel it makes sense to you personally.

FAQ

Do I have to accept a broker’s trading bonus?

Normally you don’t have to accept a bonus deal just because a broker is offering one.

You might have to explicitly opt out of a bonus however, so make sure to check the terms and conditions when signing up.

Is a bonus basically free money?

While a bonus offer can sometimes sound like free cash with no requirements involved, there are always terms and conditions attached. If this wasn’t the case, what would stop dishonest traders from just withdrawing the funds without trading?
