Octa's main promotion is a 50% deposit bonus: credit worth half of your deposit is added to your account as extra margin. The bonus can't be withdrawn, but profits made with it can, and withdrawing money cancels the bonus in proportion. Octa doesn't publish a standing no-deposit bonus or a rebate programme.
How the 50% bonus works
When you deposit, Octa adds bonus credit equal to 50% of the deposit. Deposit $200 and you trade with $300 of margin: $200 of your money and $100 of bonus. The bonus doesn’t change your leverage of up to 1,000:1, but it gives open positions more room before the stop-out level of 15%.

| Bonus size | 50% of each eligible deposit |
| Withdrawable | No, only profits |
| Effect of a withdrawal | Bonus removed in proportion |
| Standing no-deposit bonus | None published |
| Rebate programme | None published |
The rules that matter
- Withdrawals cancel bonus in proportion. Take out half of your own funds and about half of the bonus disappears.
- The bonus can’t save you from losses forever. If your own money is lost, the bonus is usually removed with it.
- Read the terms on your account. Maximum bonus amounts and eligible accounts can change; the terms shown in your client area are the ones that apply to you.
Our bonus rules guide explains these conditions in more detail, and the deposit bonus comparison shows how Octa’s offer compares with other brokers.
Funding to get the bonus
The bonus applies to deposits made through the methods in your client area, including local bank transfers in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. See Octa deposits for the methods and minimums, and Octa withdrawals for how bonus credit is treated when you take money out.
Should you take it?
The bonus is useful if you plan to hold positions through volatile moves and want more margin. It’s less useful if you withdraw often, because each withdrawal cuts the bonus. Either way, choose a broker on its conditions and safety first: read the Octa review and is Octa safe? before you deposit.

Frequently asked questions
How much is Octa's deposit bonus?
50% of the deposit, added as bonus credit. Terms such as the maximum bonus and which accounts qualify are set in Octa's promotion terms, so read them before you deposit.
Can I withdraw Octa's bonus?
No. The bonus is credit that works as extra margin. Profits you make while using it can be withdrawn, but a withdrawal removes bonus credit in proportion to the amount you take out.
Does Octa have a no-deposit bonus?
Not as a standing offer. Octa's current promotion is a deposit bonus; watch out for sites that promise free Octa money, because Malaysian regulators have flagged clone sites using Octa's name.
