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
Each side must independently deposit at least $50 and place at least one round-turn trade of $200,000 notional value; the Friend has 30 days from application. The official page does not state whether the $15 credit is directly withdrawable; third-party reporting describes it as credit whose profits are withdrawable, so assume profits-only until the terms PDF confirms otherwise. Maximum 20 referrals per 30 days.
How to claim
- Open and verify a live ThinkMarkets account (complete KYC).
- Get your referral link from the Refer a Friend tab in ThinkPortal.
- Have your friend apply for a live account using your referral link.
- You and the friend each deposit at least $50; the friend places a round-turn trade of $200,000 notional within 30 days of applying (you must meet the same trading bar).
- Track referral and payout status under Referral Activity in ThinkPortal; both sides receive $15 once the conditions are met.
Full review
ThinkMarkets runs a refer-a-friend program where both you (the Referrer) and the person you invite (the Friend) receive $15 credited to your trading accounts. This is the live offer verified on the official page: an earlier, better-known version paid $50 per side, but its own terms expired in October 2024 and the program relaunched at the lower figure, so treat any site still quoting $50 as outdated.
To qualify, the Referrer needs a live trading account, a deposit of at least $50 (or currency equivalent) and trades of at least $200,000 notional value. The Friend must open a live account through the referral link, deposit at least $50, and place at least one round-turn trade of $200,000 exposure within 30 days of applying.
Payouts are tracked under Referral Activity in ThinkPortal, and the official page does not state a payout delay. The official page does not spell out whether the $15 credit itself can be withdrawn immediately; third-party reporting describes it as trading credit whose profits are withdrawable, so treat direct withdrawability as unconfirmed.
Referrals are capped at 20 in any 30-day period; ThinkMarkets points heavier referrers to its Introducing Broker program. Earlier terms limited the offer to retail clients of the TF Global Markets (STL) Limited (Saint Lucia) entity and excluded a long country list including India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Vietnam; the current page links a terms PDF that could not be machine-read, so those details carry over from the prior terms unverified.
Pros
- +Both sides get paid $15, and the deposit bar is low at $50 each.
- +One round-turn trade of $200,000 notional (about two standard FX lots) satisfies the trading requirement.
- +Up to 20 referrals per rolling 30-day window, with an IB route beyond that.
- +Referral and payout status is visible in ThinkPortal under Referral Activity.
Cons
- −The payout was cut from $50 to $15 per side when the 2023-2024 version of the program expired.
- −Not passive: the Referrer must also deposit $50 and trade $200,000 notional to qualify.
- −The official page does not confirm whether the $15 credit itself is withdrawable; third-party reporting says only profits are.
- −Earlier terms ran the offer through the offshore TF Global Markets (STL) Limited (Saint Lucia) entity and excluded a long country list including India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Vietnam; the current terms PDF is not machine-readable, so assume these still apply.
- −The friend must never have held a ThinkMarkets account before.
