If you are an Australian resident trading retail CFDs or margin forex with an ASIC-licensed broker, you should not expect a deposit bonus, no-deposit bonus, cashback or rebate. ASIC's product intervention order, in force since March 2021 and extended through to May 2027, explicitly prohibits brokers from offering these inducements to retail clients. The same order caps retail CFD leverage and requires negative balance protection.
A few narrow exceptions exist within the CFD space. ASIC allows things like volume-based fee discounts, educational tools, information services and research, because these are not treated as the kind of cash-style inducement the order targets. A loyalty discount on spreads or commissions is allowed, while a credit added to your trading balance is not.
The ban is specific to leveraged CFD and margin FX products. It does not stop a regulated share-trading platform from running a free-share promotion when you fund a stock brokerage account, and it does not directly govern crypto sign-up rewards offered outside the CFD framework. Where you see such offers on this page, they sit outside the CFD inducement ban rather than around it.
