A deposit bonus headline is one number; the terms decide what you actually keep. Caps, volume targets, time windows, instrument restrictions and withdrawal rules turn a 95% headline and a 20% headline into very different propositions. This page gathers the deposit offers dangcash lists, then walks through the clauses that decide real value.
Use it as a shortlist of what to read — not a promise of what you will receive. Every figure below is the headline from our category listings; the provider's promotion page is the source of truth.

How to read these terms
- Match percentage vs cap. A 100% match capped at $200 pays $200 on a $2,000 deposit, not $2,000. The cap decides the real credit more often than the percentage does.
- Volume target. Brokers express clearing targets in lots of trading volume that must be closed within the window. Enter the published figure in the bonus calculator to see the daily pace it implies — for example a 25-lot target over 30 days is about 0.83 lots a day.
- Time window. Volume must be reached inside a fixed number of days from credit. Missing the window usually forfeits the credit or the profits attributed to it.
- Instrument restrictions. Only listed pairs or product types count toward volume, and min/max lot sizes per trade may apply.
- Withdrawal rules. The terms state whether profit above the bonus can be withdrawn, and what steps — verification, minimum equity, a first real deposit — that requires.
Red flags checklist
- A percentage quoted with no cap anywhere in the terms.
- A volume target that is only revealed after signup or deposit.
- Windows too short for the volume required at your normal trade size.
- Countries restricted in the fine print but not in the headline.
- Bonus auto-applied with no opt-out — confirm before depositing, because it can block normal withdrawals until volume is met.
Run any candidate through the bonus calculator and the spread cost calculator before deciding whether the volume is worth clearing.
How We Rank
Rows are ordered by how likely a normal user is to end up with something withdrawable and by how clearly those conditions are stated upfront:
- Withdrawal path: whether profits above the bonus can actually be withdrawn and what steps that requires.
- Eligibility: how plainly regions, verification and account type requirements are published.
- Terms clarity: whether caps, volume and window are stated in the promotion itself rather than hidden behind it.
- Verification recency: rows checked against the provider source page more recently rank higher.
How We Keep This Page Current
Each cycle the Forex Desk re-opens the provider promotion pages behind every listed figure, updates statuses, and stamps the page with the verification date in the byline. Offers that end are marked expired rather than removed silently, so you can see what changed between visits.
The vocabulary the terms table runs on
Comparison tables compress terms documents into columns, and each column word carries baggage. Lot definitions vary - standard, mini, or notional lots - and a turnover figure without its unit is decoration. First-deposit versus first-N-deposits changes the qualifying window entirely; credit versus balance decides whether breach clawback applies; and entity wording determines which legal framework enforces the offer you accepted. The region column here reading Worldwide describes the campaign’s marketing reach, not uniform terms under every license, because the same brand schedules promotions differently by entity.
A short glossary pass before the numbers pays for itself: qualifying base, cap, counting instrument, holding-period minimum, window length, clawback trigger, and exit terms. With those seven fields extracted per row, the table stops being a list of percentages and becomes a set of comparable contracts. Rows that cannot fill all seven fields from their linked terms are not comparable, and the honest action is to treat them as incomplete rather than to assume the missing field is favorable - which is precisely the discipline this page’s FAQ applies to single offers.
Why the biggest percentage rarely wins
Percentage and value diverge as soon as caps and conditions enter. A headline near 95% on a performance-structured offer and a headline of 20% on a clean welcome match can invert in real worth after three adjustments: the cap that limits the matching base, the credit type that decides withdrawability, and the workload that decides whether the credit survives to be used. Value is percentage times capped base times survival probability - a product of three numbers of which the headline only states one.
The working comparison is a small worksheet per row: notional bonus at your intended deposit, required turnover in lots, estimated spread cost of that turnover, and the probability of finishing inside the window at normal activity. What remains is the offer’s true price, and the survivors are usually the mid-sized ones with calm terms rather than the banners. Rows structured as performance or crypto bonuses deserve an extra skepticism discount because their qualifying events are outside your control; the deposits you make and the volume you would trade anyway are inside it.
When the terms page changes under you
Terms documents are living pages, and promotions edit them more often than participants notice. The failure mode is quiet: turnover definitions narrow, instrument lists shrink, caps lower, or windows shorten between acceptance and completion, and the participant discovers the new version at claim time. The countermeasure is versioning - a dated PDF or screenshot of the terms as displayed at acceptance, plus the confirmation message naming the promotion - which converts a he-said-she-said into a document dispute the provider is likely to honor.
Escalation follows a written path: support ticket citing the archived terms and acceptance date, a request for the historical version if the provider claims the current text always applied, and a public record of the exchange if answers do not arrive. Programs that document effective dates and publish change logs behave like the regulated businesses many of them are; programs that rewrite pages with no notice behave like campaigns. Neither is discoverable from the percentage column, which is why the organiser-standing axis in this site’s ranking criteria keeps reappearing in pages like this one.
How to use this comparison without over-reading it
A comparison table is a screening tool, and its honest limits should be stated with it. This table normalizes headline terms across eight active offers; it does not carry every field from every terms document, it cannot price your specific turnover, and a row’s presence says the offer was active when checked rather than that it was approved. The correct workflow is: screen here, extract the seven vocabulary fields from the linked terms for the two or three survivors, run the value worksheet from the previous section, and only then deposit.
Cross-checks belong in the same workflow. Verify the campaign on the provider’s official domain rather than through an aggregator link, confirm which entity your signup page will use, and read this page’s FAQ for the questions the table cannot hold - clawback behavior, regional variations, and what happens to an active promotion if a second deposit arrives. The table’s job is to save an evening of browsing; the terms document’s job is to bind. Keeping the two jobs separate is the entire discipline of comparing bonuses honestly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a deposit bonus?
A broker credits trading funds to your account as a share of a deposit. The credit is not money you own: it normally has to be traded to a published volume target before anything associated with it can be withdrawn.
Is a bigger bonus percentage always better?
No. A 20% bonus with a modest volume target and clear withdrawal rules can beat a 95% headline that is capped low or requires volume you will never reach in the window. Compare caps, lots required and days allowed together.
Can I withdraw a deposit bonus itself?
Usually not — the credit itself stays with the broker. What may become withdrawable is profit earned above it, after the volume conditions are met, and only if the terms allow it. Read the withdrawal section of the offer before opting in.
How often is this page updated?
The byline carries the review and verification date. Listed figures come from the provider category pages we re-check each cycle; confirm live terms at the source before you register or deposit.
