VIP ACCOUNT
NON-LOSS-BEARING BONUS POLICY
1. PURPOSE & OBJECTIVE
1.1 This policy establishes the terms and conditions governing the non-loss-bearing deposit bonus programme for VIP-classified trading accounts.
1.2 The programme is designed to enhance client trading capacity by providing additional margin on qualifying deposits, while ensuring zero financial risk exposure to the Company.
1.3 The bonus credit under this policy operates exclusively as supplementary trading margin and is automatically removed from the client’s account when the client’s real funds are fully depleted. The Company shall not incur or bear any loss arising from, or attributable to, the bonus credit.
2. SCOPE
2.1 This policy applies exclusively to accounts classified as VIP under the Company’s account tier structure. Only clients who meet the minimum deposit requirement of USD 200 for VIP account classification are eligible to participate in this bonus programme.
2.2 This policy supersedes all prior bonus policies, promotional bonus terms, and verbal or written commitments related to VIP account bonuses issued before the effective date.
3. DEFINITIONS
3.1 Bonus Credit. A non-withdrawable, non-loss-bearing trading credit added to a client’s account upon a qualifying deposit. The bonus credit serves solely as additional trading margin and cannot be converted to cash, withdrawn, or transferred.
3.2 Real Funds (Real Equity / Real Balance). The client’s account equity excluding any active bonus credit balance. This represents the client’s own deposited funds plus or minus all realised and unrealised trading profit and loss.
3.3 Qualifying Deposit. A new, incoming external fund transfer of at least USD 200 to the client’s VIP account. Internal transfers between the client’s own accounts held with the Company do not qualify.
3.4 Non-Loss-Bearing. The characteristic of the bonus credit whereby it is automatically and immediately removed from the client’s account at the point when the client’s real funds reach zero. The bonus credit does not absorb trading losses and cannot be used to sustain open positions independently of real funds.
3.5 Beneficial Owner. The natural person who ultimately owns or controls the account, as determined by Know Your Customer (KYC) records.
3.6 Account Equity. The total value of the trading account, including real funds and bonus credit (Real Funds + Bonus Credit).
3.7 Margin Level. The ratio of account equity to used margin, expressed as a percentage, as displayed on the trading platform. Clients acknowledge that displayed margin levels may include bonus credit and do not guarantee continued availability of such credit.
4. BONUS STRUCTURE
4.1 The following table summarises the core parameters of the bonus programme:
| Parameter | Detail |
| Account Type | VIP |
| Minimum Deposit | USD 200 |
| Bonus Percentage | 50% of qualifying deposit amount |
| Maximum Bonus in Account | USD 2,000 at any given time |
| Lifetime Bonus Cap | None — client may re-avail on each qualifying deposit |
| Bonus Nature | Non-withdrawable, non-loss-bearing margin credit |
| Automatic Removal Trigger | Real funds reach zero |
| Broker Risk Exposure | Zero — bonus is removed before any broker-funded loss |
5. ELIGIBILITY
5.1 To qualify for a bonus credit under this policy, all of the following conditions must be satisfied:
5.1.1 The client must hold an active VIP account with the Company.
5.1.2 The deposit must be a new, external fund transfer of at least USD 200. Internal transfers between the client’s own accounts do not qualify.
5.1.3 The client’s account must be in good standing with no ongoing compliance investigations, restrictions, or pending KYC remediation.
5.1.4 The client must not have an active bonus credit on the same account at the time of the new deposit, unless the new bonus would not exceed the USD 2,000 maximum account bonus threshold.
5.1.5 The client must have accepted the most current version of the Company’s bonus terms and conditions.
6. HOW THE BONUS CREDIT WORKS
6.1 Crediting
6.1.1 Upon receipt of a qualifying deposit, the system automatically calculates and credits 50% of the deposit amount as bonus credit, subject to the USD 2,000 maximum.
Example: A client deposits USD 3,000. The bonus is 50% × USD 3,000 = USD 1,500. Since USD 1,500 is below the USD 2,000 cap, the full USD 1,500 is credited.
Example: A client deposits USD 5,000. The bonus is 50% × USD 5,000 = USD 2,500. Since this exceeds the cap, only USD 2,000 is credited.
Example: A client already has USD 800 in active bonus and deposits USD 4,000. The calculated bonus is USD 2,000, but only USD 1,200 is credited to reach the USD 2,000 account maximum.
6.2 Usage
6.2.1 The bonus credit is added to the client’s available margin and may be used to open and maintain trading positions alongside real funds.
6.2.2 The bonus credit is non-withdrawable and non-transferable under any circumstances.
6.2.3 The bonus credit does not accrue interest, generate rebates, or carry any entitlement beyond additional trading margin.
6.3 Automatic Removal
6.3.1 The bonus credit is automatically and immediately removed from the client’s account at the exact point when the client’s real funds, equity excluding bonus, reach zero.
6.3.2 When real equity hits zero, all open positions are closed at market price, and the entire bonus balance is removed.
6.3.3 The client’s account balance becomes zero. The client cannot continue trading on bonus credit alone.
6.3.4 The Company never funds trading losses through bonus credit. The broker’s financial exposure to the bonus programme is zero at all times.
Example: A client has USD 2,000 in real funds and USD 1,000 in bonus credit, total margin USD 3,000. The client’s trades result in a cumulative loss of USD 2,000, depleting real funds to zero. At this point, the USD 1,000 bonus is automatically removed, all open positions are closed, and the account balance is USD 0.
6.4 Bonus After Automatic Removal
6.4.1 After automatic removal, the client is immediately eligible for a new bonus upon making a new qualifying deposit, minimum USD 200.
6.4.2 There is no cooling-off period and no lifetime cap on the number of times a client may receive bonus credit.
6.4.3 Each new bonus is independently governed by this policy and subject to the same USD 2,000 maximum.
6.5 Bonus Credits and Margin Calculations for Hedged Positions
6.5.1 Bonus credits are not considered in the calculation of margin requirements for hedged or offsetting positions. Upon expiration or removal of any bonus, whether due to withdrawal activity, time-based expiry, or discretionary action by the Company, margin requirements may increase without prior notice.
6.5.2 Such changes in margin requirements resulting from the removal or expiration of bonus credits may result in the immediate liquidation of open positions, including those previously deemed fully hedged.
6.5.3 The bonus credits shall be automatically removed from the Client’s trading account once the Client’s real funds, equity excluding bonus value, are fully depleted. Bonus credits are non-loss-bearing and cannot be used for trading independently of real funds.
6.5.4 For the avoidance of doubt, when the Client’s real balance reaches zero, any remaining open positions supported solely by bonus funds will be subject to immediate bonus removal and potential position liquidation, regardless of the margin level or floating equity displayed at that time.
6.5.5 The Company may, at its discretion, remove bonus funds when it determines that the Client’s real balance no longer provides sufficient coverage for open positions. Margin levels displayed on the trading platform do not alter this condition.
6.5.6 The Company is not obligated to notify Clients when bonus credits are due to expire or be removed. Clients remain solely responsible for monitoring their account status, bonus balances, and margin levels at all times.
6.5.7 Displayed margin levels or equity values on trading platforms may include bonus funds. Clients acknowledge that these figures do not guarantee the continued availability of bonus credits once the real balance reaches zero.
6.5.8 Removal of bonus funds due to depletion of real balance shall not constitute disqualification or abuse under Section 9 of this policy, but rather a standard operational measure under Clause 6.3.
6.5.9 The Bonus Credit facility under this policy is illustrated under Appendix A as a complete lifecycle of the bonus credit under this policy.
6.6 Client Responsibility & Company Liability
6.6.1 Clients are solely responsible for monitoring their margin levels and ensuring sufficient free equity is maintained to support all open positions at all times. The Company accepts no liability for margin calls, stop-outs, or losses resulting from the removal, adjustment, or expiration of any bonus.
7. WITHDRAWAL RULES
7.1 Profit Withdrawals
7.1.1 Trading profits earned by the client are fully owned by the client and may be withdrawn at any time, provided the withdrawal does not reduce the real equity below zero.
7.1.2 Profit withdrawals do not affect the active bonus balance, provided the client retains positive real equity after the withdrawal.
7.2 Deposit Withdrawals
7.2.1 Clients may withdraw their deposited funds at any time. However, if the withdrawal reduces real equity to zero, the bonus credit will be automatically removed per Clause 6.3.
7.2.2 Partial withdrawals that reduce real equity but do not eliminate it will result in a proportional reduction of the bonus credit.
Formula: Adjusted Bonus = Current Bonus × (Post-Withdrawal Real Equity ÷ Pre-Withdrawal Real Equity). Any excess bonus credit is immediately removed.
Example: A client has USD 4,000 in real equity and USD 2,000 in bonus. The client withdraws USD 2,000, reducing real equity to USD 2,000. Adjusted Bonus = USD 2,000 × (2,000 ÷ 4,000) = USD 1,000. USD 1,000 of bonus is removed.
7.3 Withdrawal of Bonus Credit
7.3.1 Under no circumstances may the bonus credit itself be withdrawn, converted to cash, or transferred to another account. The bonus credit exists solely as trading margin.
8. MARGIN & STOP-OUT TREATMENT
8.1 Bonus credit contributes to available margin for the purposes of opening positions.
8.2 Margin call levels are calculated based on total account equity, real funds + bonus credit.
8.3 As set out in Clauses 6.5 through 6.3, bonus credits are excluded from margin calculations for hedged positions, and margin requirements may change upon bonus removal.
8.4 The stop-out mechanism is triggered when real funds reach zero, at which point the automatic removal process, Clause 6.3, is executed and all positions are closed.
8.5 This means the effective stop-out for bonus-holding accounts is the point where real equity = 0, regardless of the remaining bonus balance or displayed margin level, Clause 6.3.
9. BONUS FORFEITURE CONDITIONS
9.1 In addition to the automatic removal of the bonus credit pursuant to Clause 6.3, which constitutes a standard operational measure and shall not be deemed a forfeiture event, the bonus credit shall also be forfeited upon the occurrence of any of the following circumstances:
9.1.1 Full withdrawal of the qualifying deposit.
9.1.2 Downgrade or reclassification of the account from VIP status.
9.1.3 Breach of any term set out in this policy.
9.1.4 Detection of fraudulent, manipulative, or abusive activity as determined by the Company’s compliance team.
9.1.5 Account dormancy exceeding 90 consecutive calendar days with an active bonus balance and no trading activity.
9.1.6 Closure or termination of the trading account for any reason.
9.1.7 Client-initiated request to cancel the bonus credit.
9.1.8 System error that resulted in an incorrect bonus credit. The Company will correct the balance without prior notice.
10. ANTI-ABUSE SAFEGUARDS
10.1 Multi-Account Abuse
10.1.1 A single beneficial owner may hold only one VIP account eligible for bonus credit at any time.
10.1.2 If the Company identifies multiple accounts belonging to the same beneficial owner, related parties, or accounts linked by IP address, device fingerprint, or payment method that are all receiving bonus credits, the Company reserves the right to forfeit all active bonuses and permanently disqualify the beneficial owner from the programme.
10.2 Deposit-Withdrawal Cycling
10.2.1 If a client deposits, receives a bonus, and withdraws the deposit without engaging in any substantive trading activity, the bonus will be automatically forfeited.
10.2.2 Three or more instances of deposit-withdrawal cycling within a rolling 90-day window will trigger a mandatory compliance review and may result in permanent disqualification from the bonus programme.
10.3 Cross-Platform Arbitrage & Hedging
10.3.1 Clients are prohibited from using bonus margin to maintain positions that are fully hedged or offset by positions held at another brokerage or trading venue.
10.3.2 The Company reserves the right to review trading patterns and request evidence that positions reflect genuine market views. Consistent patterns of offsetting exposure across platforms may result in bonus forfeiture and programme disqualification.
10.3.3 Simultaneous opposing positions on the same or highly correlated instruments within the Company’s platform, maintained without genuine trading intent, are prohibited.
10.4 Third-Party & Promotional Stacking
10.4.1 Bonus credits under this policy cannot be combined with any other promotional offer, cashback programme, or third-party rebate arrangement unless explicitly authorised in writing by the Company.
10.4.2 Introducing Broker (IB) rebates continue to apply independently. The bonus calculation is based on the net deposit amount after any IB-related adjustments.
10.5 Automated Monitoring
10.5.1 The Company shall maintain automated monitoring systems to detect the following:
10.5.1(a) Deposit-withdrawal patterns matching known cycling signatures.
10.5.1(b) Multiple accounts sharing device fingerprints or IP addresses receiving bonus credits concurrently.
10.5.1(c) Abnormally low net P&L relative to traded volume, possible cross-platform hedging indicator.
10.5.1(d) Accounts with unusually high bonus-to-deposit ratios relative to trading activity.
10.5.1(e) Triggered alerts are escalated to the compliance team for manual review within 2 business days.
11. COMPANY DISCRETION & RIGHTS
11.1 The Company reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to:
11.1.1 Withhold, revoke, reclaim, or adjust bonus credits at any time due to system error, abuse, suspected abuse, or exceptional circumstances, without prior notice.
11.1.2 Modify the bonus percentage, maximum bonus cap, minimum deposit requirement, or any other parameter of this policy with 14 calendar days’ written notice to affected clients, unless regulatory urgency requires immediate implementation.
11.1.3 Discontinue the bonus programme entirely at any time, with reasonable notice to clients holding active bonus balances.
11.1.4 Disqualify any client from the bonus programme permanently if the client is found to be involved in misconduct, abuse, or any activity that undermines the integrity of the programme.
11.1.5 Make the final determination on any dispute arising from the interpretation or application of this policy. The Company’s decision shall be binding.
12. RECORD-KEEPING & AUDIT TRAIL
12.1 Every bonus credit, adjustment, automatic removal, forfeiture, and re-issuance event must be logged with timestamp, system trigger or initiating user, and reason code.
12.2 Audit logs shall be retained for a minimum of 5 years or as required by the applicable regulatory framework, whichever is longer.
12.3 Quarterly internal audits shall review a sample of bonus transactions for policy adherence, system accuracy, and abuse detection.
12.4 The automatic removal mechanism shall be tested as part of periodic system reliability audits to ensure it operates correctly under all market conditions, including high-volatility environments and system outages.
13. CLIENT COMMUNICATION & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
13.1 Clients must be informed of the non-loss-bearing nature of the bonus credit at the time of account opening and upon each bonus credit event.
13.2 The client portal or trading application must display the bonus balance separately from real equity at all times, so clients are aware of the distinction.
13.3 As set out in Clause 6.5.7, displayed margin levels and equity values may include bonus funds and do not guarantee the continued availability of such funds.
13.4 Upon crediting, the system shall notify the client, via email, in-app notification, or both, confirming the bonus amount, the USD 2,000 maximum, and a clear statement that the bonus will be removed if real funds reach zero.
13.5 Under Clause 6.5.6, the Company is not obligated to notify clients when bonus credits are due to expire or be removed. Clients must acknowledge this condition before the first bonus credit is applied to their account.
14. ADMINISTRATION & REVIEW
14.1 This policy is administered by the Operations and Compliance departments jointly.
14.2 The policy shall be reviewed at least semi-annually or whenever material changes to business conditions, regulatory requirements, or observed abuse patterns warrant revision.
14.3 Any exceptions to this policy require written approval from the Head of Compliance or designee and must be documented with rationale.
14.4 Amendments to this policy take effect 14 calendar days after publication to affected clients, unless regulatory urgency requires immediate implementation.
15. GOVERNING LAW & DISPUTE RESOLUTION
15.1 This policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated. Any disputes arising from or in connection with this policy shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanism set out in the Client Agreement.
15.2 In the event of a conflict between this policy and the Client Agreement, the terms of this policy shall prevail with respect to matters specifically related to bonus credits.
APPENDIX A
The following table illustrates a complete lifecycle of the bonus credit under this policy:
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
| Event | Action | Real Funds | Bonus | Total Margin | Broker Risk |
| Day 1 | Deposits $4,000 | $4,000 | $2,000 | $6,000 | $0 |
| Day 10 | Profits $1,500 | $5,500 | $2,000 | $7,500 | $0 |
| Day 15 | Withdraws $1,500 profit | $4,000 | $2,000 | $6,000 | $0 |
| Day 30 | Loses $2,500 | $1,500 | $2,000 | $3,500 | $0 |
| Day 45 | Loses $1,500 → Cl. 6.3 triggered | $0 | $0 (removed) | $0 | $0 |
| Day 50 | Re-deposits $1,000 | $1,000 | $500 (new) | $1,500 | $0 |
As illustrated above, the Broker’s risk exposure remains at USD 0 throughout the entire lifecycle of the account. On Day 45, the automatic removal mechanism described in Clause 6.3 is triggered, resulting in the removal of the applicable bonus credit. Such removal constitutes a standard operational measure under this Policy and shall not be deemed a forfeiture event. Accordingly, it shall not give rise to any entitlement under Section 9, which applies only to bonus forfeiture events arising from the circumstances specified therein.
