Trading cashback, explained

Brokers pay introducers a fee for each lot their clients trade. A cashback service is an introducer that passes part of that fee back to the trader.

Updated

How the money flows

  1. You open an account through a partner link, so the broker records us as your introducer.
  2. For every lot you trade, the broker pays us an introducer fee out of its own revenue.
  3. We pay a fixed part of that fee back to you, per lot, on a set schedule.

Your spreads and commissions with the broker stay the same. The rebate is paid from the broker’s share, not added to your costs.

Where it’s not offered

Regulators in the EU, the UK and Australia ban monetary incentives to retail CFD clients, and name volume-based rebates explicitly. Several other markets restrict introducers or offshore brokers. We hide rebate offers for visitors from 50 countries and show a caution notice in 6 more.

What to watch for

  • A rebate is only as reliable as whoever pays it. If an introducer disappears, the broker usually won’t pay you instead.
  • Never trade more to earn cashback. At typical rebates a small adverse move outweighs a month of rebates.
  • Check whether the account type you want is eligible. Some brokers exclude raw or professional accounts.
