Bonus availability
72 bonuses we have verified as available to traders in Kenya.
Kenya stands out in Africa and globally: since 2017 the Capital Markets Authority has run a dedicated licensing regime for online forex brokers, with capital requirements, client fund segregation and leverage caps. Traders here can choose between CMA-licensed brokers with local standing and international brokers with global offers.
XM

A monthly Tickmill skill contest that awards one live-account trader a $1,000 cash prize they can withdraw immediately.
CoinEx
New CoinEx users can earn up to 100 USDT in fee rebate vouchers by completing deposit and trading tasks; a 40 USDT deposit and a 50 USDT spot trade unlock 70 USDT, but the vouchers only refund trading fees and are not cash.

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.

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.

IronFX credits a 100% Sharing Bonus on your deposit as non-withdrawable trading funds, with no cap on the amount, but profits made on it are split 50/50 with the broker on withdrawal.

FreshForex
FreshForex adds 15% of your first deposit (minimum $100, capped at $500) as real, withdrawable funds, with no trading volume requirement but a rule that deducts the bonus if you pull out more than 30% of the deposit within 60 days.

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.
Weltrade
Weltrade matches a new client's first deposit up to 100%, capped at $500 in credit. The credit is never withdrawable, and only profits count once a trading-cost target is met.
AMarkets
AMarkets gives traders who switch from another broker a 20% bonus on an initial deposit of $100 or more, capped at 5,000 USD, credited to a Standard account as non-withdrawable funds you can trade with.

Octa adds 50% of every deposit as a bonus you can use as margin. The bonus itself becomes withdrawable only after you trade a volume of lots tied to its size.
Windsor Brokers
Windsor Brokers adds a bonus to every deposit of USD 100 or more once you enable it. New clients start at the Silver tier's 20%, and higher loyalty tiers get 50% or 100%. The bonus is non-withdrawable trading credit.
FreshForex
FreshForex credits $50 of trading credit to new clients who register, post a review of the company and redeem a promo code, but the bonus lives only 7 days at a time and converts to withdrawable balance at just $2.50 per closed lot.

ThinkMarkets

Eightcap
Eightcap adds trading credit to your deposit on a fixed table ($500 on a $1,000 deposit, a 50% match; 20% only at $5,000) that you unlock as withdrawable cash by trading $1.00 worth of credit per standard FX lot.

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.
Bitget
Bitget advertises a welcome pack up to $6,200, but the rewards are non-withdrawable futures vouchers, and the realistic value to a typical new user is close to nothing.
Bybit
A staged sign-up offer for new Bybit users that pays up to 100 USDT in welcome gifts across four stages (20, 20, 20 and 40 USDT) for verifying identity, depositing 100 USD and trading, all within 7 days of registration. The last stage needs 30,000 USD of trading volume, so about 60 USDT is the realistic figure.
Gate.io
New users on Gate (the exchange formerly branded Gate.io) can collect futures vouchers worth 118 USDT by finishing five starter tasks within 15 days of signup: registering, verifying identity, depositing 10 USDT, making a first 10 USDT trade, and downloading the app. The advertised 10,000 USDT is a separate challenge gated behind trading volume that almost no retail user reaches.
IC Markets
IC Markets matches your first deposit 100% up to $1,000 and every later deposit 50%, up to $25,000 in total non-withdrawable bonus credit that boosts your trading margin while any profits stay yours to keep.

InstaForex
InstaForex adds a 30% bonus to every deposit with no upper limit. Trading profits are withdrawable, but the bonus itself needs X*3 InstaForex lots of turnover, where one InstaForex lot is a tenth of a standard lot.
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.
Exness
Exness gives a free low-latency VPS to clients who meet the balance and trading volume criteria shown in their Personal Area, and who keep trading from it.
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.
HFM
HFM pays an annual interest rate of 2% to 3% on your free margin, credited monthly to your wallet, once you trade at least 5 lots of forex or metals CFDs in a month.
HFM
HFM credits a percentage bonus on deposits into a Top-Up Bonus account, with the rate and cap set per client in the myHF Client Area. Profits are withdrawable, but the bonus credit stays locked as trading margin.

Windsor Brokers
Windsor Brokers pays a tiered annual yield of 0.4% to 2% on your net equity as loyalty points, but only after you reach Gold status or higher and activate the feature.
55 more offers we track are not available to residents here.
There is no bonus ban in either channel, and mobile money makes Kenya one of the easiest markets anywhere to fund an account. This page explains how the two channels differ, then lists the offers we have verified for residents of Kenya.
Kenyan traders get a real choice most markets lack. CMA-licensed online brokers operate under local rules: segregated client funds, capital requirements and a domestic regulator you can actually complain to. International brokers serving Kenya from abroad offer their standard global promotions but sit outside the CMA's reach. Using an unlicensed broker is not criminalized for the client, but the CMA has warned repeatedly, most loudly after the CBEX fraud collapse, that only licensed firms leave you with any recourse.
No bonus prohibition exists in either channel. The CMA's forex rules concern licensing, capital and leverage rather than promotions, so licensed brokers run offers too, and the international entities' global deposit matches and rebates reach Kenya when their eligibility lists include it.
The practical layer is unusually good: M-Pesa deposits and withdrawals clear in minutes with several licensed brokers, minimums are low, and no capital controls stand between you and a foreign account. That makes the withdrawal test cheap: move a small amount out early, and let the broker prove the exit works before any bonus tempts you to scale up.
Licenses Kenya's capital markets, including a dedicated online forex broker regime with minimum capital of KES 50 million for non-dealing brokers, client fund segregation and leverage caps. Licensed online brokers include Pepperstone Markets Kenya, HFM Investments and Exness (KE). It warns investors to deal only with licensed firms.
Supervises banks and the payment systems behind mobile money, including M-Pesa, which has become a primary funding rail for trading accounts. The shilling faces no material capital controls affecting retail broker funding.
Local currency: KES
Kenyan retail activity centres on forex majors, gold and index CFDs, with crypto widely used both as an asset and as a funding rail. The M-Pesa ecosystem shapes everything: brokers that integrate it well win the market, and the ones that do not are mostly irrelevant locally.
Trading profits are ordinary income under Kenya's progressive rates, reported to the KRA. A bonus changes nothing about that math, and the discipline that matters is the same as anywhere: regulation and withdrawal record first, offer size second.
