XM Unlimited Cashback Promo (autumn 2026)

XM is running a new round of its Unlimited Cashback Promo from 22 September to 20 October 2026. The mechanics changed with this round, so figures you may have seen earlier in the year no longer apply.

How it works now:

• Cashback unlocks at $1.2 million in traded volume, and the rate rises with every further $400,000 traded;
• No cap on total cashback;
• Rewards are paid at the end of the promotion period, not as you trade;
• Eligible account types: Standard, Micro, Investor and Strategy Manager;
• All asset classes count, and copied trades count towards your volume. Strategy Managers earn cashback on top of performance fees.

XM has not published a cash-per-lot figure for this round. The previous campaign, which ran from 7 April to 7 May 2026, paid between $2 and $7 per lot on a tiered scale and has ended. Given that cashback only starts at $1.2 million of volume, this promotion is aimed at high-volume traders.

Deposit bonuses, up to $5,000

XM offers deposit bonuses for eligible clients. The structure is tiered rather than a single percentage: 50% on your first deposit up to $500, then 20% on deposits after that, up to a further $4,500, for a $5,000 maximum in total. The minimum deposit is $5.

Key rules:

• The bonus is not withdrawable. It sits in your account as trading credit, and only profits generated from it can be withdrawn;
• Withdrawing your own funds removes the bonus proportionally;
• The bonus increases the margin available to you, so it increases the size of both the gains and the losses you can take.

XM has changed this structure more than once, and the current terms are shown in your client area. Check them there before depositing.

No Deposit Bonus (up to $30)

New eligible clients can receive up to $30 credited directly to their margin, with no deposit required. All profits earned from this bonus are fully withdrawable, which is the main difference from the deposit bonus above.

Earlier versions of this offer were worth $50. That figure no longer appears in any current source, so confirm the amount in your client area before counting on it.

Demo Competitions (over $100,000/month in prizes)

XM runs monthly demo trading competitions with more than $100,000 in cash prizes, letting you compete without risking your own capital. There are two parts: a weekly demo contest with a $25,000 prize pool and 100 winners, free to enter, and a daily arena on weekdays with prize pools from $1,000 to $5,000 and a $5 entry fee. XM reports having paid out over $1.5 million to more than 2,500 winners across 100+ competitions.

Is the XM bonus available to everyone?

No.

Bonus availability depends on the regulatory entity you are registered under.

XM operates through multiple entities:

• XM International MU Limited (Mauritius – FSC)
• XM Global Limited (Belize – FSC)
• XM (SC) Limited (Seychelles – FSA)
• Trading Point of Financial Instruments Limited (Cyprus – CySEC)

Clients registered under the CySEC (EU) entity typically do not have access to deposit bonuses, due to ESMA restrictions.

Bonus campaigns are generally available to clients registered under offshore entities (Mauritius, Belize, Seychelles), provided their country is not restricted.

Restricted regions include:

• United States
• Canada
• Israel
• Iran
• Other sanctioned jurisdictions

Always verify eligibility inside your client area before depositing.
