All You Need To Know About The InstaForex No-Deposit Startup Bonus

You may have heard about the InstaForex startup bonus. As a new entrant into the forex market, the startup bonus is there to help you familiarize on trading forex and cryptos. 

When I received my no-deposit startup bonus of $500 on InstaForex, I thought it was a perpetual bonus and nothing would remove if I fulfilled the requirement to deposit into the account within the first 7 days of opening an InstaForex account.

But I was wrong after all.

After making a deposit into my InstaForex account, the 500 USD bonus fund disappeared. 

After contacting customer care to know what was wrong, I learnt the following conditions with the InstaForex no-deposit startup bonus which I think will be helpful to others, and those who might not we are of the conditions of the no-deposit startup bonus:

1) The client receives a bonus on a new account. Trading is available without any restrictions, even when account will be converted into a demo in case no deposit is made within first 7 days.

2) Unfortunately, StartUp bonus funds and all profit gained from it are not available for withdrawal - the initial bonus will be cancelled right after the first replenishment, the profit gained will be transformed to the 100% bonus on first deposit. For example, in case of depositing $100, the Client's balance will be $100 (deposit) + $100 (100% bonus) = $200.

3) The 100% bonus can be increased to 110% in case of receiving a profit of 10% from initial bonus and depositing in first 7 days.

4) Own deposit can be withdrawn anytime. In case of any withdrawal from the Bonus account, the 100% StartUp Bonus is canceled in the amount equal to the withdrawal sum.

5) The 100% bonus can be withdrawn - to do that, the client needs to make the number of transactions in the amount equal to the bonus amount multiplied by 3. For example, in order to withdraw the 100$ bonus, the client should trade up to 100 * 3 = 300 InstaForex lots.
