VT Markets 50% Welcome Credit: $250 on a $500 First Deposit (Up to $500)

New VT Markets live accounts get a bonus of 50% of the first deposit, credited within one business day. The advertised figure is "up to $500", but that cap only applies once you deposit $1,000 (third-party reviews give this figure, VT Markets does not publish the maths). A typical $500 deposit gets $250 in credit. Later deposits get a separate 20% credit under the deposit bonus offer.

The catch is that the credit is not money. VT Markets states the funds cannot be withdrawn and only profits made while using them can be paid out. Review sites that quote the terms add that if you withdraw part of your own deposit the credit shrinks or is removed, and that if equity falls below the credit amount the credit is taken back, which can stop out open positions. The official page does not state these two rules, so confirm them in the client portal before depositing. The general promotion terms let VT Markets cancel the offer at any time, refuse any applicant without giving a reason, and deduct the bonus from the account for churning or hedging with credit across accounts. The offer cannot be combined with other offers, and PAMM, MAM and copy trading accounts are excluded.

The offer is run by VT Markets Limited (Mauritius, FSC licence GB23202269), an offshore-style entity, and the group has regulator warnings in several countries. It is not available to residents of the US, Singapore, India, Russia or Germany, or to FATF-listed and sanctioned jurisdictions. Bonuses of this kind are normally not offered to retail clients under FCA, ASIC or ESMA entities, and VT Markets does not say which entities carry the offer, so check eligibility for your country before you register. Taxes are your responsibility.
