Risk warning: Trading carries a high risk of losing money, especially with leveraged products such as CFDs. A bonus does not reduce that risk. Only deposit what you can afford to lose.

The catch
Bonus funds are credited as non-withdrawable real funds that can be traded and absorb drawdown; the bonus itself is never withdrawable. The promo page states no turnover requirement. AMarkets' bonus regulation sets a turnover of about the bonus amount divided by 3 in standard lots (roughly 66 to 67 lots on a 200 USD bonus), but that clause is written for credit bonuses, so confirm with support whether it applies before planning a withdrawal. Withdrawing any of your own funds, hitting Stop Out, or 30 calendar days of account inactivity cancels the bonus.
How to claim
- Open a Standard account in USD on MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5
- Deposit $100 or more
- Submit a trading statement from your previous broker to prove you traded on a live account elsewhere
- AMarkets credits a 20% bonus (up to 5,000 USD) to the account
Full review
The Broker Switch Bonus adds 20% to your first deposit at AMarkets if you move over from another broker. It is available on Standard accounts in USD on MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5, with a minimum deposit of $100. To qualify you submit a trading statement from your previous broker showing you traded on a live account there, then fund your new AMarkets account.
The catch is in how the money behaves. The bonus is credited as real funds you can trade with and that absorb drawdown, but the bonus amount itself can never be withdrawn. The promo page states no turnover requirement; the bonus/3 lots turnover formula in AMarkets' bonus regulation is written for credit bonuses, so check with support before you plan a withdrawal.
There is no fixed expiry date, but the regulation cancels a bonus if you withdraw any of your own funds, hit Stop Out, or leave the account inactive for 30 calendar days. The advertised "up to 5,000" figure is a cap, not what most traders receive: because the match is 20%, you would need to deposit 25,000 USD to reach the full 5,000, so a typical deposit returns a far smaller amount (for example, a 1,000 deposit yields a 200 bonus).
Eligibility is limited to traders who previously held a live account with another broker. AMarkets does not serve the United States, the United Kingdom, EU/EEA/EFTA countries, Japan, or sanctioned jurisdictions, and bonus availability can be further limited by local regulation.
Pros
- +Adds 20% to your deposit on top of your trading capital
- +Bonus funds cushion drawdown while you trade
- +Works on both MT4 and MT5
Cons
- −Bonus itself is never withdrawable, only profits are
- −Standard USD accounts only, with a $100 minimum deposit
- −Cancelled after 30 days of account inactivity or at Stop Out
- −The 5,000 cap needs a 25,000 deposit; most users get far less
- −Requires proof you traded with a previous broker
- −Withdrawing your own deposit, even partially, cancels the entire bonus, so accepting it ties up your principal for as long as you want to keep the bonus
