Bonus availability
Broker bonuses in Japan
60 bonuses we have verified as available to traders in Japan.
Japan has one of the world's largest retail FX markets, but it is also one of the most conservatively regulated. The Financial Services Agency (FSA) caps retail FX leverage at 25:1, and brokers licensed to serve Japanese residents do not run the cash deposit bonuses common in looser markets.

If you trade through a Japan-licensed broker, you should plan around low leverage, strong client-money protection and an absence of welcome bonuses. This page explains the FSA and FFAJ framework and where any non-FX offers might still apply.
Which bonuses you can claim
Japanese residents trading FX or CFDs through an FSA-licensed broker should not expect deposit bonuses, no-deposit credit, cashback or similar cash inducements. Conduct rules under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, reinforced by the FFAJ's standards, mean licensed brokers do not offer the welcome promotions seen in unregulated markets. The same framework caps retail FX leverage at 25:1 and requires strict segregation of client money.
Where you do see incentives in Japan, they tend to be modest and structured around activity rather than a cash gift. Some brokers run campaigns tied to trading volume or points-style rewards, but these sit a long way from the large deposit-match offers found elsewhere, and they are framed to fit the FFAJ's advertising and fairness rules.
The restriction is rooted in FX and leveraged derivatives. It does not directly govern, for example, a stock-trading or crypto-exchange promotion offered outside the leveraged-FX framework. Where this page surfaces such an offer for Japan, it falls outside the FSA's retail-FX conduct rules rather than challenging them.
Who regulates trading in Japan
- Financial Services Agency (FSA) fsa.go.jp ↗
Japan's central financial regulator. It licenses FX and securities firms under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, caps retail FX leverage at 25:1, and enforces conduct rules that leave no room for cash deposit bonuses.
- Financial Futures Association of Japan (FFAJ) ffaj.or.jp ↗
The self-regulatory body for FX and derivatives firms. Licensed brokers must belong to the FFAJ, which sets and enforces detailed conduct and advertising standards alongside the FSA.
Trading in Japan
Local currency: JPY
Japan's retail FX scene is huge and well established, dominated by domestic platforms with the yen as the account currency and a strong culture of high-frequency, low-leverage trading. The 25:1 leverage cap and conservative conduct rules are a deliberate trade-off: less promotion and less leverage in exchange for stronger protection and segregated client funds.
Be wary of offshore brokers advertising large bonuses and high leverage to Japanese traders. Operating in Japan without an FSA registration is not permitted, and the FSA publishes warnings about unregistered firms. A headline bonus from an unlicensed offshore broker carries real withdrawal and recourse risk, so confirm the firm is FSA-registered before depositing.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I get a deposit bonus from a Japanese FX broker?
- No. Brokers licensed by the FSA and bound by FFAJ rules do not offer cash deposit bonuses, no-deposit credit or similar inducements to retail clients.
- What is the retail FX leverage limit in Japan?
- The FSA caps retail FX leverage at 25:1, which has been the standard since 2011. This is far lower than the leverage marketed by many offshore brokers.
- Why don't Japanese brokers offer bonuses?
- Conduct rules under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and the FFAJ's standards prioritise fair dealing and client protection, which leaves no room for the cash inducement promotions seen in unregulated markets.
- Are offshore brokers offering Japan bonuses safe?
- Treat them with caution. Serving Japanese residents without FSA registration is not permitted, and the FSA warns against unregistered firms. Check FSA registration before you deposit.
