What’s changed in the refer-a-friend promotion?

We’ve expanded our promotion to also include select investment accounts. You can now receive a reward when your friends open a spread betting, CFD trading, share dealing, ISA or SIPP account.

The more the referrals, the more the rewards

Refer as many friends as you’d like and we’ll give you £50 for the first five successful referrals. All they’ll need to do is open any one of the qualifying accounts using your unique link and complete the required actions.1

Note that any referrals you made under the previous promotion will count towards the new one. This means that if you’ve already received a reward for three referrals, you only qualify for a reward for two referrals under this promotion.1

Refer-a-friend promotion FAQ

Can I participate in the new promotion if I’ve already been rewarded?

Yes, you can continue to refer new friends under the updated promotion. However, any successful referrals you made in the previous scheme will carry over into the new one. For instance, if you got a reward for two referrals, this means you’ll only get £50 for three ‘active referrals’.1

How do I check my referral status?

Once your friend has signed up for an account, you’ll receive an email notifying you that you’re in the referral scheme.

After this, you can log in to My IG, click on the ‘settings’ tab at the top of the page and select ‘refer a friend’ to view your referral status. You’ll also receive an email once your friend has successfully opened a live account using your link as well as when you’ve qualified for a reward.

Will the referral expire?

Yes. Once any of your friends opens an account, they have three months to place their first trade on the account for you to receive a reward.
