YOU CANNOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY CONCURRENT PROMOTIONS, INCENTIVES OR PROMOTIONAL CODES.
KEY DETAILS
1. These terms and conditions apply to the 2026 Bonus Shares Promotion (the "Promotion"). By participating in the Promotion, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions as well as the Customer Agreement for your IG account. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions conflicts with any provision of the Customer Agreement, the Customer Agreement shall prevail.
2. The Promotion is organised by IG Europe GmbH (a company incorporated in the Federal Republic of Germany and registered in the Frankfurt Trade Register under number HRB 115624 with registered office at Westhafenplatz 1, 60327 Frankfurt, Germany). IG Europe GmbH (Register number 148759) is authorised and regulated by the Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht and Deutsche Bundesbank. The Swedish branch of IG Europe GmbH is regulated by the Finansinspektionen.
3. The promotional period will start at 00:00 Irish time on 1st July 2026 and end at 23:59 on 31st August 2026 (“Promotional Period”). We may extend or shorten the Promotional Period at our sole discretion.
4. Definitions
In these Terms and Conditions:
"Average Invested Value" means, in respect of the Holding Period, the sum of the daily closing value of Net Investments on the Share Dealing Account for each calendar day in the Holding Period, divided by the total number of calendar days in the Holding Period;
“Net Investment” means the aggregate value of investment purchases on the Share Dealing Account during the Promotional Period less the aggregate value of any sales of investments from the Share Dealing Account during the Promotional Period (and for the avoidance of doubt, transfers of assets to IG from a third party shall NOT constitute a Net Investment for the purpose of this Promotion);
“Qualifying Investment” means an investment on a Share Dealing Account such that the Net Investment on that account is €300 or more at the end of the Promotional Period;
“Share Bonus” means the randomly allocated bundle of shares awarded to an eligible participant, with a value between €40 and €300 depending on the tier randomly allocated to that participant;
"GIA" means an Irish General Investment Share Dealing account with IG;
“Holding Period” means three full months from 1 September 2026 to 30 November 2026;
"Share Dealing Account" means a GIA; and
5. You must satisfy all of the following conditions to participate in the Promotion:
A. Be an Irish resident and aged 18 years or older; and
B. Open a Share Dealing Account during the Promotional Period.
C. Make a Qualifying Investment on that Share Dealing Account during the Promotional Period; and
D. Maintain an Average Invested Value of €300 in that Share Dealing Account throughout the Holding Period. A reduction in value below €300 which is attributable solely to fluctuations in market value, rather than any withdrawal or sale made by you, will not affect your eligibility for this Promotion.
6. A reduction in the value of your investments in the Share Dealing Account below €300 shall not disqualify you from receiving the Share Bonus under this Promotion, provided that: (a) your Net Investment during the Promotional Period was at least €300; and (b) such reduction is attributable solely to movements in the market value of your investments and not to any withdrawal or sale of those investments by you.
Share Bonus Allocation
7. If you are eligible for the Promotion and satisfy all of the Promotion’s conditions, we will give you a Share Bonus from the list of companies in Table 1 below. The stocks in Table 1 are subject to change. The value of the Share Bonus you receive will be randomly selected in accordance with the approximate value bands stated in Table 2 below; the approximate value bands have a weighted probability of being selected as indicated in that table.

8. As the value of shares fluctuates with the market, any combination of shares allocated to you may not exactly equal the upper limit of the value band you are allocated to. You shall not be entitled to any cash adjustment in the event the allocation of shares results in you receiving less than the upper limit of the value band indicated. You are only eligible for one Share Bonus under this Promotion, even if you open multiple Share Dealing Accounts of different types during the Promotional Period or have a Net Investment of €300 or more in more than one Share Dealing Account.
9. The shares that you receive as part of the Share Bonus will be credited to your Share Dealing Account. We will do this by the end of the following month after the Holding Period.
Example:
Qualifying Investment made by 31 August 2026. Holding Period runs from 1 September – 30 November 2026. Share Bonus will be credited to your GIA by 31 December 2026.
General Conditions
10. In accordance with the Customer Agreement for your Share Dealing Account, you may be liable for fees and charges in respect of the shares you receive as part of the Share Bonus (for example, a foreign exchange fee). You can find our share dealing fees at: https://www.ig.com/ie/investments/share-dealing/costs-fees
11. You may not take advantage of concurrent promotions, incentives or promotional codes offered by IG or IG group, unless the terms and conditions for the relevant promotion specify otherwise. If you participate in multiple promotions simultaneously, you shall be deemed eligible only for the one you began to participate in first.
12. You must be a direct client of IG. If you have any third-party introduction or introduction-type arrangement with IG or any IG group company, any accounts opened thereunder will not qualify for the Promotion.
13. All accounts are subject to our standard account opening criteria and accounts are available subject to certain jurisdictional restrictions, and as such not all applicants will be successful in their application for an account.
14. If any restrictions apply to your account, your account may not be eligible for the Promotion 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.
15. The Promotion is not open to employees of IG or IG group or employees of any other company engaged in direct competition with IG or any IG group company.
16. The Promotion and any obligations of IG pursuant to it will be revoked or withdrawn from participants who abuse the spirit or intention of it. We reserve the right to cancel or withdraw the Promotion at any time for any reason, including, but not limited to, in case of any suspected abuse of the Promotion. Further, where any of these Terms and Conditions are breached, if we believe that any of the terms of your Customer Agreement with us have been breached in any way, you no longer have an account with IG or there is any reason to suspect a participant has acted fraudulently or obtained an unfair or unintended advantage pursuant to this Promotion, we reserve the right to stop, withhold or cancel the Share Bonus.
17. We are the sole arbiter of the Promotion, these Terms and Conditions and any other issues arising under this Promotion. Exceptions to these Terms and Conditions are at the sole discretion of IG's management, and our decision is final. We reserve the right to alter, amend or terminate the Promotion or any aspect of it (including the Terms and Conditions) at any time and without prior notice.
18. We will not be held liable for any losses incurred by you as a result of your trading or in relation to this Promotion except where such loss is a result of our negligence or wilful misconduct. All trading involves risk. The value of shares can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Please ensure you fully understand the risks and take care to manage your exposure.
19. We will not be held liable for your inability to satisfy the eligibility requirements of the Promotion or ability to trade as the result of any technical malfunction of the internet, IG's trading platform, or your own computing system. You accept all risks associated with trading over the internet, mobile applications, and downloadable software.
20. Any dispute or situation not covered by these Terms and Conditions, 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.
21. If at any time all or any part of any provision of these Terms and Conditions 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 Terms and Conditions or the legality, validity or enforceability under the law of any other jurisdiction of that provision or all other provisions of these Terms and Conditions.
22. If any tax is payable on the shares you receive under this Promotion, this tax will be your liability and will not be incurred by us. If the law requires us to withhold this tax and settle with the relevant tax authority on your behalf, then we shall credit the shares to your account net of this tax.
