2. How do I become eligible for this promotion? 

• Be a UK resident and aged 18 or over. 
• Be a new IG client and not have held any account with IG before applying for your eligible account under this promotion. 
• Between 1 October 2026 and 14 October 2026, open one of the IG share dealing accounts listed below using promotional code SHARES1K: 

- Smart or standard GIA (UK General Investment Account)  

- Smart or standard ISA (UK Individual Savings Account) 

• Make investments with a value of at least £500 in this eligible account by 31 October 2026.  You can make more than one investment during this period to meet the minimum investment amount. 

• Complete and submit a valid W-8BEN form, or other tax form we ask for, by 31 January 2027. For more information, see the tax section below.

• You must have an open IG GIA (UK General Investments Share Dealing Account) when the reward is due to be paid.

• You won’t lose your reward if your account falls below £500 because of market movements. This only applies if you invested at least £500 during the relevant period and did not sell or withdraw investments.

• If you open more than one eligible account, we’ll only apply this promotion to the one that reaches £500 first. 

3. How and when will I receive the promotion reward? 

• If you meet the promotion requirements, we’ll give you a share reward with a combined value of between £50 and £1,000. 
• Any share reward will be randomly selected from the companies listed at the end of these terms. These companies may change. 
• The shares are chosen at random from approximate value bands, with each band having a different chance of being selected, as shown below: 

• We’ll aim to provide a reward within the value band shown. Because share prices move and share allocations may not match the band exactly, your reward may be worth slightly more or less than that band. You will not be entitled to any cash top-up or other adjustment if the value is lower. 
• We’ll add any due reward to your standard GIA (UK General Investment Share Dealing Account) by 28 February 2027. We won’t add it to any other account, even if you made your investment in a different account or opened a Smart Portfolio account. 
• If your reward includes shares listed in a currency other than GBP, they will appear in your account in that currency. For example, US-listed shares will appear in USD. The GBP value of your reward will depend on the exchange rate we apply at the time we credit the reward to your account. 
• You can only receive one reward, even if you open more than one account or meet the reward requirements in more than one account. 
• You will not receive a reward if your average investment during the relevant period is less than £500.  
• The maximum reward available under this promotion is £1,000. 

5. When can’t I take part in the promotion? 

• We'll do what we reasonably can to open your account, but you won't be able to take part in the promotion if: 

- You are taking part in another IG group promotion or incentive, unless those terms allow it. If you are taking part in more than one IG group promotion, you will only be eligible for the promotion you took part in first. 

- You joined IG or opened an account indirectly through a third party, introducer or similar arrangement.  

- You work for IG group, one of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or a direct competitor of IG. 

- Legal, regulatory or other restrictions apply to your account, for example because of where you live.  

- You or your investments do not meet our usual account checks or suitability requirements.  

• Where possible, we'll let you know during the application process if any of these restrictions mean you can’t take part in the promotion.
