How it works
Want to invest in shares, ETFs or crypto? Or start out with forex or commodities and grab a head-start reward along the way? You're in the right place.
We round up promo codes, referral codes and sign-up rewards from FCA-, BaFin- and CySEC-regulated brokers — free shares, fractions of crypto, cash interest, cashback and first-deposit rewards. You pick an offer, sign up through our link or with our code, and the reward is enrolled automatically. No catches: same spreads, same fees, same KYC as if you'd come in cold.
Three steps and you're done
- 1
Pick the offer that fits you
Browse our comparison pages and pick by what you're after — a promo code (e.g. STARTXTB), a referral code, a free share (Tesla, Nvidia, Apple), a crypto fraction (Bitcoin, Ethereum), cash interest on your idle balance or cashback. Each listing spells out exactly what you get and the conditions you have to meet.
- 2
Use the code or our link
For promo / referral codes (XTB and similar) you copy the code and paste it into the "Promo code", "Referral code" or "I have a partner code" field during sign-up. For deposit-based rewards (eToro free share) no code is needed — just register through our partner link and you're enrolled automatically. We tell you which method applies for each broker.
- 3
Meet the terms and claim
Each offer states clearly: how much to deposit, how long to keep the funds in, when the reward arrives. eToro, for example, credits the share or BTC fraction within seven days of you meeting the conditions (deposit ≥ £370 / $500 + 90-day balance hold). Current terms are pinned to every article.
What you can collect
Depends on the broker and the live campaign. Each listing tells you what's in the bundle. The most common rewards:
Free share or crypto
A real fraction of Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, Bitcoin, Ethereum or an S&P 500 ETF worth up to $500 from eToro after the first-deposit conditions are met.
Cash interest
XTB pays interest on your idle balance at 3.5–6 % p.a. (currency-dependent) — no trading requirement, withdraw at any time.
Time-limited campaigns
Short-window promos — first-trade cashback, boosted rewards, free shares. We update within 24 hours of any change.
Detailed walkthroughs
Broker reviews, side-by-side comparisons, KYC and tax notes — all written in plain English and updated against reality, not the marketing deck.
Why it costs you nothing
We work with the brokers under official partnership agreements. When you open an account through our link, the broker pays us a commission for the introduction — that's the whole business model. Nothing changes on the trading side: same spreads, same fees, same regulator (FCA, CySEC, BaFin), same KYC. The only addition is that you get enrolled in the sign-up reward you wouldn't see going in cold.
Important: we don't get paid based on which broker we recommend, nor for placement on our comparison pages. Commission is a downstream consequence — if a broker doesn't pass the editorial check (licence, transparency, traceable ownership), it doesn't make the site, however much it's willing to pay.
Common questions
- Can I claim the reward on an account I already have with the broker?
- Unfortunately not — these rewards are for new clients only. You have to sign up through our link or the partner code; otherwise the enrolment doesn't register and the broker won't credit the reward. Brokers don't backdate it once an account already exists.
- Does using your link change anything about my trading conditions?
- Nothing at all. Spreads, fees, regulator, KYC, withdrawals — every part of the account is identical to opening it cold. The only difference is that the partner enrolment is recorded and the reward gets credited when you meet the conditions.
- What if the broker doesn't process the link and the reward never lands?
- Rare, but it happens — usually because someone clicked the broker's ad elsewhere afterwards (the cookie picks up the most recent referral). Email us your registration address and a quick screenshot at [email protected] — we raise it with the broker, and in roughly 95 % of cases the reward is credited retrospectively.
- How do you know an offer is still current?
- We re-check offers by hand — the last-checked date is in the footer of every article. When a broker changes, lowers or pulls a reward, we update the page within 24 hours. If something stops working we don't leave the page hanging for SEO; we either rewrite it or take it down.
- Do you pick brokers based on commission?
- No. We list brokers with a recognised EU regulator (FCA, CySEC, BaFin, KNF) and traceable terms only. The commission is a downstream consequence — brokers with sketchy backgrounds don't make the site, regardless of payout. There's more on this in our methodology.
