AMarkets' main bonus is 'Double Your Starting Capital': a 100% credit bonus up to $10,000 for new clients with a Standard account in USD on MT4, activated by contacting support. It becomes withdrawable after a turnover of bonus ÷ $3 in lots (a $300 bonus needs 100 lots) and is cancelled on any withdrawal, after 30 days without trading, or at stop-out. AMarkets also runs a cashback programme ($13–17 per lot at the higher levels in its examples), a demo-profit transfer, a switch-broker bonus and refer-a-friend.
The 100% deposit bonus
From AMarkets’ “Double Your Starting Capital” page, read on 2 November 2026:
| Term | Detail |
|---|---|
| Who | New AMarkets clients |
| Account | Standard, USD, MetaTrader 4 |
| Deposit | $100 or more |
| Amount | 100% of the deposit as credit, up to $10,000 per client |
| Activation | Contact customer support |
| Withdrawable | After the required turnover: bonus ÷ $3, in lots |
| Turnover counts | Closed trades on currency pairs, opened after the bonus was received, with a minimum trade size of 3 pips |
| Cancelled | On any full or partial withdrawal, after 30 calendar days without trading, or on stop-out |
AMarkets adds that, to prevent fraud or if it detects it, it may deduct all bonus funds without notice or explanation. Full rules are in its Bonus Terms and Conditions, which we didn’t review in full.
What the turnover means. The formula is “bonus amount / 3 USD”. AMarkets’ demo-transfer page explains the same formula as $3 per standard lot. So a $300 bonus needs 100 lots and the maximum $10,000 bonus needs about 3,333 lots before it can be withdrawn.
Worked example. You deposit $500 on a Standard MT4 account and activate the bonus: your equity shows $1,000 ($500 balance + $500 credit). The credit adds margin, so you can hold larger positions before stop-out. If you then withdraw even $50 before trading ~167 lots, the whole $500 credit is removed. If the account hits stop-out, the credit goes too.
Cashback loyalty programme
From the cashback page:
- Activate level 1; trade at least 2 lots a month to stay there.
- Move up one level every 30 days if you trade at least 5 lots a month, up to level 5.
- You drop back to level 1 if you withdraw funds or your monthly volume falls below 5 lots.
- Counts currency pairs and metals only, for closed trades held more than 3 minutes with at least a 10-pip difference between open and close.
AMarkets’ worked examples use $13 per lot at level 3, $15 at level 4 and $17 at level 5. Rates for levels 1 and 2 aren’t shown in those examples.

How to use it sensibly
- The bonus is margin, not money: treat it as a buffer, and expect it to vanish the moment you withdraw.
- Because withdrawals cancel the bonus and reset cashback to level 1, decide in advance when you’ll take money out.
- The Standard account’s wider spread (EUR/USD average 1.7 pips) is the cost of being bonus-eligible: see AMarkets spreads.

Frequently asked questions
How does AMarkets' 100% bonus work?
New clients with a Standard USD account on MT4 can ask support to activate a 100% credit bonus on their deposit, up to $10,000. It adds margin but can't be withdrawn until you reach the turnover requirement (bonus ÷ $3, in standard lots).
When is the AMarkets bonus cancelled?
On any full or partial withdrawal from the account it was credited to, after 30 calendar days without trading, or if the account reaches stop-out. AMarkets also reserves the right to remove bonus funds without notice if it suspects fraud.
How much trading do I need to withdraw the bonus?
AMarkets gives the formula 'bonus amount / 3 USD', which it explains on the demo-transfer page as $3 per standard lot. A $500 bonus therefore needs about 167 lots.
How does AMarkets cashback work?
It's a five-level loyalty programme on currency pairs and metals. You start at level 1, move up every 30 days if you trade at least 5 lots a month, and drop back to level 1 if you withdraw or trade less. AMarkets' examples use $13, $15 and $17 per lot at levels 3–5.
