Bonus availability
28 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.
eToro
New eToro customers in eligible countries who deposit at least US$200 (£200 in the UK) and select stocks as their trading interest get US$10 to US$500 in free stocks, scaled to the first deposit: US$10 or US$30 for deposits under US$2,500, and US$500 only from US$5,000.
BitMart
BitMart's referral program pays you a permanent commission of 20% (rising to 25% and 30% as you invite more people) on the trading fees of friends you refer for spot and futures trading.
Tickmill
A monthly Tickmill skill contest that awards one live-account trader a $1,000 cash prize they can withdraw immediately.
CoinEx
New CoinEx users can earn up to 100 USDT in fee rebate vouchers by completing deposit and trading tasks; a 40 USDT deposit and a 50 USDT spot trade unlock 70 USDT, but the vouchers only refund trading fees and are not cash.
Crypto.com
New Crypto.com users who join with a referral code and trade earn a sign-up reward paid in CRO, realistically about $5 to $15 for a typical user, up to roughly $50.
CoinEx
CoinEx pays referrers a share of their invited friends' trading fees, starting at 15% for regular users (the headline 40% applies only to VIP 5 accounts) and credited in CET tokens.
OKX
New OKX users who verify, deposit and complete trading tasks earn a ladder of small crypto rewards; the first step is reported at about $5, and the $400 total needs very large deposits and trading volume.
Pepperstone
Pepperstone pays both you and a referred friend up to USD 1,000 in cash (or 20 commission-free trades on the retail version) once the friend deposits and trades a set number of lots within 90 days.
Binance
New Binance users who verify, deposit and trade can earn around $100 in rewards, but these arrive as trading-fee vouchers rather than withdrawable cash.
AMarkets
AMarkets pays existing clients a $50 cash reward for every invited friend who registers through their link, verifies, deposits at least $100 and trades more than one lot, while the friend receives a 20% trading bonus on their first deposit.
Coinbase
New Coinbase users who join through a referral link and make a qualifying purchase within 90 days get a bonus that varies by country, shown as $5 in USDC. Coinbase Advanced referrals pay $5 to $50 based on trading volume in the first 14 days.
FXTM
FXTM automatically enrols traders on Rewards Plus, Rewards and Advantage accounts in a points-based loyalty program where trading earns Reward Points that redeem for withdrawable cash at 500 points to $1.
FxPro
FxPro pays both the referrer and the referred friend a withdrawable $50 cash bonus once each verified account deposits at least $100 and trades 3 lots in forex or metals within 30 days.
KuCoin
New KuCoin users who verify, deposit, and trade within 30 days collect a randomized welcome package of roughly 100 USDT plus trading-fee coupons and futures trial funds, far below the advertised 11,000 USDT ceiling.
M4Markets
M4Markets pays referring clients $5 for every standard lot of FX or metals their referred friend trades, with lower rates on Raw Spread and Premium accounts.
FXTM
FXTM clients earn Reward Points worth $10 for every 2,000 Tier Points a referred friend trades, up to $100 per friend. The points redeem for withdrawable cash, but your friend has to trade heavily for you to reach the top.
WhiteBIT
Entering the referral code 20CASHBACK during WhiteBIT registration applies a permanent 20% discount on all spot and futures trading fees from your first trade.
HTX
HTX gives new users referred by an existing member up to five mystery boxes of small random crypto, plus futures trial credit, unlocked by logging in and hitting modest spot or futures trading volume within 14 days.
BitMart
BitMart's New User Rewards total 13 USDT: a 3 USDT futures voucher for signing up, a 5 USDT spot fee voucher for a first deposit of at least 100 USDT, and a 5 USDT futures trading bonus. None of it is paid as withdrawable cash.
Bitget
Bitget advertises a welcome pack up to $6,200, but the rewards are non-withdrawable futures vouchers, and the realistic value to a typical new user is close to nothing.
Bybit
A staged sign-up offer for new Bybit users that pays up to 100 USDT in welcome gifts across four stages (20, 20, 20 and 40 USDT) for verifying identity, depositing 100 USD and trading, all within 7 days of registration. The last stage needs 30,000 USD of trading volume, so about 60 USDT is the realistic figure.
Gate.io
New users on Gate (the exchange formerly branded Gate.io) can collect futures vouchers worth 118 USDT by finishing five starter tasks within 15 days of signup: registering, verifying identity, depositing 10 USDT, making a first 10 USDT trade, and downloading the app. The advertised 10,000 USDT is a separate challenge gated behind trading volume that almost no retail user reaches.
Pepperstone
Pepperstone refunds the commission on up to 20 trades placed on a Razor account, capped at USD 600 total, after a referred client funds the account with at least USD 1,000.
Kraken
Refer a new friend to the Kraken app and you both earn up to $20 USDG once they deposit fiat and make qualifying non-stablecoin trades within 15 days, with a cap of $200 USDG per referrer.
MEXC
MEXC now advertises $10,000 in new-user rewards, but the bulk is non-withdrawable futures bonus credit. The genuinely usable part is roughly 40 USDT in vouchers.
eToro
eToro pays up to 3.80% annual interest on the uninvested USD cash sitting in your trading account, accrued daily and paid monthly, with no lock-in.
HFM
HFM pays an annual interest rate of 2% to 3% on your free margin, credited monthly to your wallet, once you trade at least 5 lots of forex or metals CFDs in a month.
Windsor Brokers
Windsor Brokers pays a tiered annual yield of 0.4% to 2% on your net equity as loyalty points, but only after you reach Gold status or higher and activate the feature.
99 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.
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.
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.
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.
