Broker bonuses in Australia
41 bonuses we have verified as available to traders in Australia.
Australia is a large and active retail trading market, but it is also one of the strictest when it comes to broker incentives. Since 2021, ASIC's product intervention order has banned brokers from offering inducements such as bonuses, trading credits, rebates and gifts to retail CFD clients.

80 more offers we track are not available to residents here.
That means most of the deposit-match and no-deposit promotions you see advertised elsewhere are simply not available to Australian residents through a properly licensed broker. This page explains the rule, why it exists, and where non-CFD offers can still apply.
Which bonuses you can claim
If you are an Australian resident trading retail CFDs or margin forex with an ASIC-licensed broker, you should not expect a deposit bonus, no-deposit bonus, cashback or rebate. ASIC's product intervention order, in force since March 2021 and extended through to May 2027, explicitly prohibits brokers from offering these inducements to retail clients. The same order caps retail CFD leverage and requires negative balance protection.
A few narrow exceptions exist within the CFD space. ASIC allows things like volume-based fee discounts, educational tools, information services and research, because these are not treated as the kind of cash-style inducement the order targets. A loyalty discount on spreads or commissions is allowed, while a credit added to your trading balance is not.
The ban is specific to leveraged CFD and margin FX products. It does not stop a regulated share-trading platform from running a free-share promotion when you fund a stock brokerage account, and it does not directly govern crypto sign-up rewards offered outside the CFD framework. Where you see such offers on this page, they sit outside the CFD inducement ban rather than around it.
Who regulates trading in Australia
- Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) asic.gov.au ↗
Australia's corporate and financial services regulator. Its product intervention order for retail CFDs caps leverage and prohibits brokers from offering bonuses, trading credits, rebates or gifts as inducements to retail clients.
Trading in Australia
Local currency: AUD
Retail trading in Australia centres on forex and CFDs alongside ASX-listed shares, with the Australian dollar as the standard account currency. ASIC enforces its rules actively and has compelled brokers to change practices and return funds to clients, so reputable firms serving the Australian market comply with the inducement ban rather than work around it.
Be cautious with offshore offers. A broker that promotes a large Australian-facing bonus is often relying on a foreign licence and may not be authorised to take retail clients here under the product intervention order. A headline bonus is worth little if the broker is not licensed to serve you or if you cannot reliably withdraw, so confirm the Australian Financial Services (AFS) licence before you act.
Frequently asked questions
- Are broker bonuses legal in Australia?
- Not for retail CFD or margin forex clients. ASIC's product intervention order prohibits brokers from offering bonuses, trading credits, rebates or gifts as inducements to retail clients.
- Why can't I get a deposit bonus from an ASIC-regulated broker?
- Because ASIC treats deposit bonuses and trading credits as inducements that encourage risky trading. The product intervention order bans them for retail CFD clients, so a compliant broker will not offer one.
- Is there any incentive a CFD broker can still offer?
- Yes, within limits. Volume-based fee discounts, educational tools, research and information services are allowed because they are not cash-style inducements, unlike a bonus credited to your balance.
- What about offshore brokers advertising Australian bonuses?
- Treat them with caution. A broker offering a bonus to Australian residents is likely relying on a foreign licence and may not be authorised to serve you here. Check the AFS licence before depositing.
