A forex reload bonus is a promotion offered after an existing client makes an additional deposit. Unlike a welcome bonus, it is usually aimed at returning or active traders. The percentage is only one part of the offer: European traders should also compare eligibility, maximum amounts, trading volume, expiry and withdrawal terms.

How do reload bonuses work?

A broker may credit bonus funds after a qualifying top-up, sometimes using a percentage of the new deposit up to a fixed maximum. The promotion may be available only during a campaign period or after the trader accepts specific terms in the client area.

What to check before claiming a reload bonus

Eligibility: check whether the offer is available to existing clients in your country and through your account entity.

Deposit rules: confirm the minimum top-up, qualifying payment method and maximum bonus amount.

Turnover requirements: read how lots, volume or holding periods affect withdrawals.

Expiry and cancellation: understand when the bonus expires and what happens after a withdrawal.

Underlying costs: compare spreads, commissions, swaps and withdrawal fees.

Reload bonuses and high leverage

Some brokers promote reload bonuses alongside leverage up to 1:500 or 1:2000 through specific entities or account types. The offer and leverage can vary by country, product and client classification, so verify both before depositing.

FAQ

Are reload bonuses available to EU traders?

Availability depends on the broker entity, country, account type and current campaign. Check the current terms in the client area or broker promotion page.

Can reload bonus funds be withdrawn?

Often the bonus itself is promotional credit rather than immediately withdrawable cash. Profits may also be subject to volume, expiry and other conditions.
