Bonus availability
32 bonuses we have verified as available to traders in Germany.
Germany is one of the largest retail trading markets in Europe, but it is also one of the most tightly regulated. If you trade from Germany, the bonus you see advertised on a broker's global homepage is often not the bonus you are allowed to claim. The reason is not the broker being difficult. It is the law.
XTB
New XTB clients in Germany who deposit at least 50 EUR within 7 days of opening an account get one free Porsche AG preference share, worth about 45 EUR at the end of September 2026. Limited to the first 5,000 participants, until November 30, 2026.
eToro
New eToro customers in eligible countries who deposit at least US$200 (£200 in the UK) and select stocks as their trading interest get US$10 to US$500 in free stocks, scaled to the first deposit: US$10 or US$30 for deposits under US$2,500, and US$500 only from US$5,000.
XTB
New XTB clients who open an account and deposit the local minimum within seven days receive one free real share, with no trading requirement. Campaigns are country-specific, dated and capped: Germany's current offer is one Porsche AG share for a 50 EUR deposit, limited to the first 5,000 clients until 30 November 2026.
BitMart
BitMart's referral program pays you a permanent commission of 20% (rising to 25% and 30% as you invite more people) on the trading fees of friends you refer for spot and futures trading.
Tickmill
A monthly Tickmill skill contest that awards one live-account trader a $1,000 cash prize they can withdraw immediately.
Crypto.com
New Crypto.com users who join with a referral code and trade earn a sign-up reward paid in CRO, realistically about $5 to $15 for a typical user, up to roughly $50.
Fusion Markets
Fusion Markets clients on its Vanuatu (VFSC) or Seychelles (FSA) entity can earn $50 for themselves and $50 for a referred friend when the friend deposits $500 and trades 5 lots, rising to $250 each on a $5,000 deposit. Australian clients of the ASIC entity are not eligible.
Firstrade
Firstrade reimburses the ACAT transfer fee your old broker charges, up to $250, when you move $2,500 or more in eligible assets and keep them parked for 12 months.
OKX
New OKX users who verify, deposit and complete trading tasks earn a ladder of small crypto rewards; the first step is reported at about $5, and the $400 total needs very large deposits and trading volume.
Pepperstone
Pepperstone pays both you and a referred friend up to USD 1,000 in cash (or 20 commission-free trades on the retail version) once the friend deposits and trades a set number of lots within 90 days.
Binance
New Binance users who verify, deposit and trade can earn around $100 in rewards, but these arrive as trading-fee vouchers rather than withdrawable cash.
Trading 212
New Trading 212 clients who open and fund an Invest, Stocks ISA or SIPP account get one randomly selected free fractional share worth 8 to 100 in the account's currency (pounds in the UK, euros in the EU; 80% are worth 8 to 25), with the cash value locked for 30 days.
Trading 212
Refer a friend to Trading 212 and both of you get a randomly selected fractional share worth 8 to 100 in your account's currency (GBP for UK accounts, EUR elsewhere), most often 8 to 25, once your friend opens an Invest or Stocks ISA account and makes the minimum deposit. The current programme ends on 3 November 2026.
Bitpanda
Refer a friend to Bitpanda and you both earn €5 once they invest their first €500 in crypto or a Bitpanda Crypto Index, with rewards scaling up to a joint €200.
Coinbase
New Coinbase users who join through a referral link and make a qualifying purchase within 90 days get a bonus that varies by country, shown as $5 in USDC. Coinbase Advanced referrals pay $5 to $50 based on trading volume in the first 14 days.
FXTM
FXTM automatically enrols traders on Rewards Plus, Rewards and Advantage accounts in a points-based loyalty program where trading earns Reward Points that redeem for withdrawable cash at 500 points to $1.
Lightyear
New EU customers who deposit at least €100 within 15 days and enter promo code MMBEU get a randomly valued free fractional share, realistically €10 to €20, that must be held for 6 months, and the €100 deposit has to stay in the account for those 6 months too.
Phemex
New Phemex users with Advanced KYC can open a random Mystery Box for a first deposit of at least 100 USDT and another for a first trade of at least 100 USDT. The boxes are listed at 10 to 2,000 and 20 to 3,000 USDT and may hold cash, a BTC airdrop, a trading bonus or fee vouchers, so the low end of those ranges is the realistic expectation.
KuCoin
New KuCoin users who verify, deposit, and trade within 30 days collect a randomized welcome package of roughly 100 USDT plus trading-fee coupons and futures trial funds, far below the advertised 11,000 USDT ceiling.
Lightyear
Refer a new friend who deposits at least €100 to Lightyear and you both get a free stock reward that starts at €10.
M4Markets
M4Markets pays referring clients $5 for every standard lot of FX or metals their referred friend trades, with lower rates on Raw Spread and Premium accounts.
FXTM
FXTM clients earn Reward Points worth $10 for every 2,000 Tier Points a referred friend trades, up to $100 per friend. The points redeem for withdrawable cash, but your friend has to trade heavily for you to reach the top.
ThinkMarkets
ThinkMarkets pays you and a referred friend $15 each once you both deposit at least $50 and place a round-turn trade of $200,000 notional, with the friend given 30 days to qualify.
FP Markets
FP Markets pays existing clients a cash reward of $50 to $200 per friend they refer, based on how much the friend deposits and trades, with the reward withdrawable at any time.
BitMart
BitMart's New User Rewards total 13 USDT: a 3 USDT futures voucher for signing up, a 5 USDT spot fee voucher for a first deposit of at least 100 USDT, and a 5 USDT futures trading bonus. None of it is paid as withdrawable cash.

Kraken
Refer a new friend to the Kraken app and you both earn up to $20 USDG once they deposit fiat and make qualifying non-stablecoin trades within 15 days, with a cap of $200 USDG per referrer.
MEXC
MEXC now advertises $10,000 in new-user rewards, but the bulk is non-withdrawable futures bonus credit. The genuinely usable part is roughly 40 USDT in vouchers.
eToro
eToro pays up to 3.80% annual interest on the uninvested USD cash sitting in your trading account, accrued daily and paid monthly, with no lock-in.
FP Markets
FP Markets covers the monthly cost of a low-latency forex VPS once you deposit at least 1,000 USD and keep trading enough lots each month, so your Expert Advisors run 24/5 without a hosting bill.

95 more offers we track are not available to residents here.
Below is a plain explanation of which bonuses reach German traders, which ones do not, and what to check before you sign up. The list further down shows only the offers we have researched that a German resident can realistically access.
BaFin forbids brokers from using bonuses to encourage retail clients into CFDs. Its General Administrative Act bans monetary and non-monetary incentives alike: account-opening bonuses, deposit matches, trading-fee discounts, volume rebates and refer-a-friend rewards are all off the table for CFD accounts. On top of that, the ESMA product-intervention rules that Germany applies cap leverage, enforce negative balance protection and require standard risk warnings.
The practical effect: a broker regulated in Germany or elsewhere in the EU cannot legally offer you a forex or CFD deposit bonus. Most of the big deposit-match and no-deposit forex promotions you find online are aimed at clients outside the EU and will exclude Germany in the fine print.
The ban is specific to CFDs. Sign-up rewards from crypto exchanges and free-share offers from stock brokers are different products under different rules, so a smaller set of those can still reach German traders. Those are the offers worth your attention here.
Germany's financial regulator. Its General Administrative Act on CFDs sets the bonus and leverage rules for retail clients.
Local currency: EUR
German retail traders tend to favour brokers with strong oversight and clear withdrawal terms over headline bonus size, which fits a market where the largest bonuses are illegal anyway. The euro is the account currency for most local accounts, and tax on trading gains is handled through the Abgeltungsteuer, so keep records of any bonus that does become withdrawable.
If a broker offers you a forex or CFD bonus while claiming to be EU-regulated, treat it as a red flag. Either the offer is not really available to you, or the entity behind it is not the regulated one. Check which legal entity holds your account before depositing.
