Where AMarkets sits among 27 brokers: Max leverage 1:3,000 (#4 of 27), EUR/USD spread 1.7 pips (#24 of 27), Min deposit $100 (#24 of 27), Stop-out level 20% (#4 of 27)
Each dot is a broker we list; the blue dot is AMarkets. Further right is better for the trader (higher leverage; lower spread, minimum deposit and stop-out level).

Verdict

AMarkets offers very high leverage (3,000:1 on small accounts), raw-spread accounts and a 100% deposit bonus. Its main company is licensed in Mwali (Comoros), one of the lightest offshore regimes. Its Financial Commission membership adds a dispute route and a compensation fund of up to €20,000 per claim.

Good for: bonus users with $100+ to deposit; traders who want very high leverage on small balances; ECN traders who want low commission.

Not for: anyone who wants a well-known regulator; traders who plan to withdraw soon after claiming the bonus.

Company and licence

From AMarkets’ footer:

Company Where Number Status
AMarkets LTD Mwali (Comoros) T2023284 Licensed international brokerage and clearing company, supervised by the Mwali International Services Authority (MISA)
AMarkets LLC Cook Islands LLC14486/2023 Registered with the Financial Supervisory Commission’s registry
AMarkets LTD St Vincent and the Grenadines 22567 BC 2015 Registered with the FSA’s registry

AMarkets says it doesn’t target EU/EEA, UK or US clients. It’s a member of The Financial Commission, whose compensation fund covers up to €20,000 per claim if a ruling against AMarkets goes unpaid.

What this protects: a dispute route outside the broker, and a capped compensation fund. What it doesn’t: no major-regulator oversight, no EU or UK compensation scheme. A St Vincent “registration” isn’t a forex licence. See offshore vs regulated brokers and broker licences explained.

Accounts and costs

From the account types page:

Standard ECN Zero
Initial deposit $100 $200 $200

Leverage

From the leverage page, FX and metals:

Equity Max leverage
Under $1,000 3000:1
$1,000–5,000 2000:1
$5,000–10,000 1000:1
$10,000–50,000 500:1
Over $50,000 200:1

Indices and commodities go to 100:1, BTC 100:1, other crypto 10:1, stocks 10:1. Positions opened 15 minutes before to 10 minutes after major news may be limited to 200:1, and between 22:00 Friday and 01:00 Monday (server time) leverage can’t exceed 1000:1.

Funding and withdrawals

AMarkets’ deposit page says all deposits are fee-free, methods include bank transfers, cards, e-wallets and local options (the full list shows in your Personal Area by region), and withdrawals go back to the exact card or account you deposited from. No third-party payments. Its FAQ says the finance department handles withdrawal requests within 24 hours, with no AMarkets withdrawal fee; arrival time depends on the method. Details: AMarkets deposits and AMarkets withdrawals.

Bonus

The “Double Your Starting Capital” offer:

  • For new clients with a Standard account in USD on MT4, depositing $100 or more; you activate it by contacting support
  • 100% credit bonus, up to $10,000 per client
  • Withdrawable once you reach the required turnover, which the page gives as “the bonus amount / 3 USD”. We read that as lots (a $300 bonus would need 100 lots), but confirm with support; only closed trades on currency pairs, opened after the bonus and held for at least 3 pips, count
  • Cancelled on any full or partial withdrawal, after 30 days without trading, or on a stop-out

AMarkets also lists cashback, a refer-a-friend scheme, a “switch your broker” bonus and other promotions. See how bonus rules work.

Risks and open questions

  • Mwali licence: we didn’t check the MISA register
  • Arrival times per withdrawal method are only shown after login
  • The full Bonus Terms weren’t reviewed; the summary above is from the promotion page

Bottom line

AMarkets is a high-leverage, bonus-heavy offshore broker. If you take the 100% bonus, remember that any withdrawal cancels it, and start with an amount you can afford to keep at an offshore broker.

Compare: deposit bonus brokers, high-leverage brokers.
