Why can’t I receive the XM account opening bonus?
We’ve compiled the main reasons why you may not receive, transfer, or receive your XMTrading (XM) “account opening bonus” based on official rules and general points to note. If you’re wondering whether you’ve received it or might not be able to, please check the following. Let’s take a look at the latest service status. The environment also varies depending on whether you’re in Japan or overseas.
✅ Main reasons why you can’t receive/receive bonuses at XM
| Reason | Contents |
|---|---|
| When opening an account, you chose “Do not receive bonuses” | When opening a real account at XM, there is a screen where you can choose whether you would like to receive a bonus, and if you select “Do not receive” there, you will not be eligible for the bonus. |
| KYC procedure not completed/account not activated | Bonuses will not be awarded unless identification and address verification documents are submitted and approved. |
| A certain period of time (deadline) has passed since the account was opened | XM’s account opening bonus has a deadline of “claiming within 30 days of opening a new account (or completing the activation procedure, etc.)”, and if this deadline is exceeded, the bonus cannot be received. |
| I have opened a real account with XM in the past (= not a new account) | If you already have an account or have opened one in the past, you will not be eligible for the account opening bonus for new customers. |
| I opened an account on a site other than the official website (via a cashback site or affiliate link). | If you open an account through a route other than the official application route (official website), the bonus may not be applied. |
| I forgot to claim my bonus/didn’t complete the claim procedure | To receive a bonus, you may need to not only open an account, but also apply for or receive the bonus on the XM member page. If you forget to do this, you will not be able to receive the bonus. |
⚠️ Other conditions to note
- Bonuses are only available to “new real accounts.” Additional accounts or accounts with different conditions are often not eligible.
- Bonuses are awarded in the form of “trading credits,” and as a general rule, the bonus itself cannot be withdrawn. However, profits earned from trading using them can be withdrawn if certain conditions are met.
- Furthermore, if XM determines that the bonus has been used fraudulently (for example, “bonus spamming” aimed solely at the bonus, unnatural trading, or duplicate registrations using multiple accounts), XM reserves the right to take measures such as canceling the bonus or freezing the account.
🎯 If you didn’t receive your bonus – Check and what to do
- First, think back to when you opened your account and asked yourself whether you “wanted to receive a bonus.”
- Check on the member’s page to see if you have completed the identity verification process (ID + proof of address, etc.).
- Has it been several days since you opened your account (= deadline)? The basic rule is within 30 days.
- Did you apply via the official website? If you applied via an affiliate/cashback program, you may not be eligible.
- Have you forgotten to claim your bonus? Check on your member’s page to see if there is a button such as “Clear Bonus Now.”
- Have you had an account with XM in the past/have you never used the service before? If so, you are not eligible for the bonus.
XM Account Opening Bonus Received Conditions
Here is a detailed list of the main conditions for receiving XMTrading’s (XM) “Welcome/No-deposit Bonus.” Conditions vary depending on the program. Unless you are a standard or micro account, you cannot receive the bonus. When trading with partners such as gold or dollars, be sure to check the bonus before claiming it. Please note that investors are affected by the system’s time and products.
✅ Receipt conditions (required)
- Open a new “real account” – not applicable to those who have previously opened an account/additional accounts.
- After opening an account, complete the KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure and activate your account.
- Complete identity verification within 30 days of opening your account. If you exceed this period, you will not be eligible for the bonus.
- Log in to your XM member page and click “Claim Your Bonus.” The bonus is not automatically granted; users must claim it.
🎯 Bonus conditions, nature and eligibility
- Bonuses are a no-deposit benefit — you can receive them even if you don’t put your own capital into the account.
- The amount awarded is usually the equivalent of 15,000 yen — but this can vary depending on the campaign.
- Bonuses are awarded as trading credits (which can be used as margin, but the bonus itself cannot be withdrawn).
- Profits earned from trading can be withdrawn if certain conditions are met. For example, previous terms and conditions included a minimum trading volume plus multiple rounds (round-trip trading).
⚠️ Conditions and restrictions to be aware of
- Those who have previously held an account with XM (or the same person reapplying) are not eligible for the bonus.
- Additional accounts (second and subsequent accounts when one person has multiple real accounts) are generally not eligible for the bonus.
- The bonus is for trading funds only and cannot be withdrawn. In addition, when withdrawing profits earned using the bonus, some or all of the bonus may be lost depending on the amount withdrawn.
- When trading using the bonus, please be aware that there is a risk of bonus cancellation or account freezing if you violate the terms and conditions or engage in prohibited transactions.

- Deposit Not Applied Properly
