    a. hold an existing personal or corporate Stock Trading account with IG Limited, authorised and regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, whose registered address is Unit 2& 3, Level 27, Tower 2, DIFC, Dubai, 506968 UAE (“we”, “us”, “IG” or “our”); and
    b. be a direct client of IG.
  3. If you have any introduction or introduction-type arrangement with IG or any IG group company, you will not qualify for the Program.

    a. open a personal Stock Trading account with IG Limited through the unique URL shared by you (“Account”) within three months of you sharing the unique URL with them; and
    b. maintain the Account as active and place at least three 'qualifying trades' during the first three months following the opening of the Account.
    A ‘qualifying trade’ is any sized buy or sell trade on an IG Limited Stock Trading account.

  8. Within 90 days of Your Friend becoming an Active Referral, a Refer a Friend Reward of a USD100 trading credit will be credited to your IG Stock Trading account.
  9. If any restrictions apply to your account or the account of Your Friend, the referral will not qualify as an Active Referral until the restrictions have been lifted. Any restrictions that apply to a new account will be detailed in the email to the account holder upon account activation. The referral will not qualify as an Active Referral if your account or the account of Your Friend is closed for any reason.
  10. The referral will not qualify as an Active Referral if you have a power of attorney over the account of Your Friend. You cannot refer yourself via a joint account or refer a member of the same household.

  16. To the extent a Refer a Friend Reward has been paid to you and we suspect a participant has acted fraudulently or obtained an unfair or unintended advantage pursuant to this Program, you agree that we will be entitled to deduct an amount equivalent to the Refer a Friend Reward from any IG trading account that you hold with us.
  17. We are the sole arbiter of the Program, these Rules and any other issues arising under or in relation to this Program. Exceptions to these Rules are at the sole discretion of IG’s management, and our decision is final. We reserve the right to alter, amend or terminate the Program or any aspect of it (including the Rules) at any time and without prior notice.
  18. The Refer a Friend Reward cannot be combined with any other reward promotions that IG offers. Whilst you may refer as many Friends as you would like, you will only receive Refer a Friend Rewards in respect of the first five of your referrals to qualify as Active Referrals and the maximum value of Refer a Friend Rewards you may earn under this Program is USD500.
  19. We will not be held liable for any losses incurred by you or Your Friend as a result of your (or their) trading or in relation to this Program except where such loss is a result of our negligence or wilful misconduct.

You and Your Friend accept all risks associated with trading over the internet, mobile applications, and downloadable software.
  21. Any dispute or situation not covered by these Rules, will be resolved by IG’s management in a manner it deems to be fairest to all concerned and that decision will be final and binding on all parties.
  22. If at any time all or any part of any provision of these Rules are or become illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision(s) will not affect or impair the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of the remainder of that provision or all other provisions of these Rules or the legality, validity or enforceability under the law of any other jurisdiction of that provision or all other provisions of these Rules.
