$30 No-Deposit Bonus - XM-Group

XM gives new clients $30 in trading credit with no deposit required, usable on live Forex, gold, and CFD markets. It is built for first-time traders who want to test real conditions before risking their own money.

The bonus itself can’t be withdrawn, but profits you make from it can, once you meet a small trading-volume requirement. You must claim it within 30 days of opening your account.

How to Enroll?

Go to XM and Start Registration

On xm.com, click Get Started (top right). A demo account won’t qualify for the bonus, so you’re opening a real one.

Fill in the Quick Sign-Up Form

On the “Let’s get you registered!” page, select your Country of Residence, enter your email and a password. South African traders select South Africa here. If you have a partner or referral code, click “Enter here” to add it. Then click Register.

Verify Your Email with the 6-Digit Code

XM emails you a 6-digit code. Enter it on the “Enter code” screen. You can tick “I trust this device” to skip re-verifying for 30 days, then continue.

Add Your Profile Details

In the Members Area, you’ll be asked for your first name, last name, date of birth, and place of birth. Enter your name exactly as it appears on your ID, as it has to match your verification documents later.

Add Your Residential Address

Enter your address, city or town, street number, and postal code. This should match your proof-of-residence document.

Answer the Tax Questions

Confirm whether you’re a US citizen for tax purposes (most users select No), select your country of tax residence, and indicate whether you have a Tax Identification Number (TIN). If not, pick the reason from the dropdown, then continue.

Confirm Your Nationality and ID

Select your nationality, confirm whether you hold a passport, and enter the passport number if you have one. Continue.

Complete the Investor Profile

XM is required to assess suitability, so you’ll answer questions on planned yearly deposit, purpose of the account, employment status, annual income, source of funds, and net worth, plus a short knowledge check on CFD risk, leverage, stop-loss orders, and a Politically Exposed Person question. Answer honestly, as these determine your eligibility to open the account.

Verify Your Identity (KYC)

Upload a photo of your ID or passport and a proof of residence dated within the last three months. You may also be asked for a selfie. Trading and withdrawals stay locked until these documents are approved.

Claim Your $30 No Deposit Bonus and Start Trading

Once your documents are approved, open the Bonuses section in the Members Area and claim the $30 no deposit bonus. You’ll complete SMS phone verification to activate it. The credit lands in your trading account, and you can start trading on MT4, MT5, or the XM app.

Terms & Conditions to Keep in Mind

• One bonus per person and per IP address. Multiple accounts from the same household, device, or details lead to disqualification.
• A trading-volume requirement unlocks withdrawals. XM requires a minimum volume, which depending on your account’s entity terms is either 0.1 or 0.5 standard lots, plus at least 5 round-turn trades. Check your own account’s bonus terms for the exact figure before you start.
• No automated or short-term strategies. Expert Advisors, scalping, arbitrage, and news trading aren’t permitted on bonus accounts.
• Any withdrawal removes the bonus. Withdrawing funds nullifies the remaining bonus credit, so plan around it.
• Minimum withdrawal is twice the bonus. With a $30 bonus, that’s $60, and all open orders must be closed first. There’s no deadline to hit the volume target, but a dormant account (90 days inactive) loses the bonus automatically.

Supported Countries

The bonus is available across most non-EU regions, including South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, and much of the Middle East and Latin America, 190+ countries in total.

It is not available to clients registered under XM’s EU (CySEC) entity. Availability can vary by country, so the Promotions section of your Members Area shows what’s active for your region.

Is This Risk-Free?

The bonus removes the risk of losing your own money, since you’re trading with XM’s $30, not yours. XM isn’t a scam: it has operated for 15+ years and holds licences including CySEC, ASIC, and the FSCA.

One nuance for South African traders: the local FSCA-authorised entity (FSP 49976) acts mainly as an intermediary, and you’re onboarded through an offshore entity, so FSCA trading protections don’t fully apply. The trading risk itself remains real once profits grow.

Is The $30 XM Bonus Still Available?

No, the XM $30 no-deposit bonus is not currently offered on the official XM website. It was available in the past, but it no longer appears as an active promotion directly through XM, so new clients cannot claim it right now.

However, XM 50% Deposit Bonus is available now, so you can still benefit from that when you make your first deposit.

If you’re interested in XM bonuses, you can still check their official promotions page or your Member Area after signing up. They sometimes run other offers like deposit bonuses, but the specific $30 no-deposit bonus is not available at this time.

FAQs

Is the XM $30 bonus still available in 2026?

No, but they are currently promoting their new deposit bonuses.

Can I use the XM $30 bonus on MT5?

Yes, it works on both MT4 and MT5, and the XM mobile app. Just make sure you opened a Micro or Standard account, as those are the eligible types.

How long does it take to withdraw XM bonus profits?

Once you’ve met the volume requirement and closed your trades, most withdrawal methods process within 24 hours; bank wires take longer. Remember the $60 minimum.

Do I pay tax on profits from the XM bonus in South Africa?

Yes. SARS treats forex profits, including those earned from a bonus, as taxable income, so keep a record of withdrawals for your tax return.
