FAQ
When will I receive the referral rewards?
You’ll receive your first $150 reward within 45 working days after your friend makes at least five qualifying trades within three months from opening a live account.
The remaining additional rewards will be paid within 45 working days after the last day of the qualifying period – in other words, within three months of opening an account. The reward amount you’ll receive is based on the spreads/commissions that your friend pays in the three months following the successful referral.2
A qualifying trade is a CFD with a minimum size of one mini contract (or equivalent) on which commission has been paid.
I have already referred friends who qualified in the old scheme, can I participate in the new scheme?
Yes, you can continue to refer new friends under the new RAF scheme, but you may refer up to a maximum of ten people overall – including any successful referrals made under the previous promotion.
For example, if you referred four friends under the previous promotion, you may only refer six friends under the updated scheme.
How do I check my referral status?
Once your friend has signed up for an account, you’ll each receive an email notifying you that you’re both in the referral scheme. After this, you can log into My IG, click on the ‘settings’ tab at the top of the page and select ‘refer a friend’ to view your status. You’ll also receive an email once your friend has successfully opened a live account.
Will the referral expire?
Yes. The period to earn rewards for each friend will be three months from the date the live account is opened.
What happens to my friends that I referred in the old scheme who have not been qualified?
They’ll automatically be rolled into the new scheme, and their trades will be recalculated for the next three months.
How can I know I am paid with the correct reward tier?
We’ll ensure we do all checks so that we fairly and accurately give our qualified clients their rewards. Your friends are welcome to contact our customer service for details of the spreads/commissions that they’ve paid.
