Broker bonuses in Italy
44 bonuses we have verified as available to traders in Italy.
For traders in Italy, most of the bonus offers that show up in adverts are not something you can actually claim. CONSOB made the EU restrictions on CFDs permanent in Italy, and incentives like deposit bonuses are part of what that regime shut down.

77 more offers we track are not available to residents here.
This page covers who regulates trading in Italy, why forex and CFD bonuses are largely unavailable to residents, and the offers that can still legitimately reach you.
Which bonuses you can claim
The framework starts with ESMA's EU-wide product intervention rules, which CONSOB turned into permanent national measures for Italy under Resolution no. 21171 of December 2019. For retail contracts for difference, providers cannot offer monetary or non-monetary incentives. Deposit matches, welcome bonuses and trade-linked rewards on CFD or forex accounts are not allowed for Italian retail clients.
Alongside the bonus ban, the same regime caps leverage by instrument, requires negative balance protection and margin close-out on a per-account basis, and mandates a standardised risk warning. These measures sit together, and the no-incentives rule is one of them. The aim was to stop promotions that pushed clients to trade more than they otherwise would.
The restrictions apply to leveraged CFD products, not to everything. A broker offering real shares can still run a free-share or fee-rebate promotion on a stock account, and crypto platforms under their own registration may still offer sign-up rewards. But where an incentive is tied to CFDs or forex and aimed at Italian residents, a compliant provider will not be paying it.
Who regulates trading in Italy
- Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (CONSOB) consob.it ↗
Italy's companies and stock exchange regulator. It adopted permanent national measures applying from 1 August 2019 that restrict retail CFDs and ban the use of bonus incentives.
Trading in Italy
Local currency: EUR
Italy uses the euro, so accounts, deposits and any qualifying offers are denominated in EUR. Italian retail traders commonly use brokers that display their CONSOB registration or EU passport status, and many of these firms also provide ordinary securities accounts that fit local reporting needs.
Be cautious when a platform leans on EU regulation as a badge while dangling a CFD bonus in front of you. A firm genuinely authorised to serve Italian retail clients could not pay that bonus, because CONSOB's permanent measures forbid it. CONSOB also issues public warnings and orders to block unauthorised websites, so a CFD incentive aimed at Italian users is a prompt to verify the firm before doing anything else.
Frequently asked questions
- Are forex and CFD bonuses legal in Italy?
- No. CONSOB's permanent measures apply the EU ban on incentives for retail CFD and forex products. A broker authorised to serve Italian residents will not offer them.
- How do I check whether a broker is authorised in Italy?
- Verify the firm through CONSOB's registers at consob.it, and review CONSOB's published warnings and orders blocking unauthorised or abusive financial websites.
- Can an Italian trader still receive any promotion?
- Yes, but generally not on CFDs. Free-share or commission-rebate offers on real stock accounts, and crypto sign-up rewards, can still reach you because they fall outside the CFD rules.
- Are these CFD rules temporary?
- No. CONSOB adopted them as permanent national measures in 2019, so they remain in force until the regulator decides the conditions for revoking them are met.
