What Is the XM Back-to-Back Bonus Campaign?#
XM’s back-to-back (consecutive) bonus campaign is a permanent deposit bonus programme. The structure is 100% + 50% + 20%: on your first deposit you receive a 100% bonus up to a set cap, and on later deposits 50% and 20% bonuses. The campaign is not time-limited; current caps and conditions are published on XM’s promotion page. This article explains how the campaign works, with focus on the 100% tier, the terms, and what to watch out for.
The 100% Bonus: First Deposit Tier#
The first stage of the back-to-back bonus is the 100% bonus on your first deposit. You receive extra balance equal to 100% of your deposit, up to a cap. For example, if you deposit $200 and the 100% tier applies, you get $200 bonus and your total trading balance is $400. The cap (e.g. $500) is set by the broker; if you deposit $500, the bonus is still limited to the cap. Exact amounts and currency are always given on XM’s official bonus page.
What Is the 100% Bonus For?
The bonus temporarily increases your trading capital. It allows larger positions or higher lot sizes; however, the bonus cannot be withdrawn. Only profits from trading with the bonus (or bonus plus balance) can be withdrawn, and only after the trading volume (lots) requirement in the campaign terms is met. The bonus amount itself is reduced proportionally when you withdraw (proportional removal): the share of the withdrawal in your total balance is applied to the bonus and that part of the bonus is removed.
The 50% and 20% Tiers#
The second and third stages of the back-to-back bonus apply to later deposits:
- 50% bonus: On your second deposit, you receive 50% bonus on the deposited amount up to a set cap.
- 20% bonus: On your third and subsequent deposits, you receive 20% bonus on the deposited amount up to a set cap.
Each tier’s cap and eligibility are described on XM’s current campaign page. Only the 100% tier applies to the first deposit; 50% and 20% apply to separate later deposits.
Campaign Eligibility#
- Account type: The bonus may apply only to certain account types; Ultra Low or swap-free (Islamic) accounts may be excluded in some promotions. XM’s bonus page states which accounts are eligible.
- Minimum deposit: A low minimum deposit (e.g. $5) is usually enough to join the campaign; the exact amount is in the current terms.
- Opt-in / request: You may need to request the campaign in the member area or select a “bonus deposit” option before depositing. Steps are explained on XM’s site.
- Regional restrictions: The bonus may not be offered in some countries (e.g. USA, Canada, Israel, Iran) or for accounts under XM’s EU entity. Check XM’s terms for your region.
Trading Volume Requirement#
Deposit bonus campaigns typically have a lot-based volume requirement. You must trade a multiple of the bonus or of deposit+bonus (e.g. a certain number of lots per $100 bonus); until that volume is completed, withdrawal of the bonus and/or profits may be restricted. The ratio and calculation are in XM’s campaign terms. Ensure you have met this requirement before requesting a withdrawal; otherwise you may face proportional bonus deduction or withdrawal rejection.
Warning: A bonus increases trading capital but, combined with leverage, also increases risk. Larger positions mean greater loss potential. Only deposit money you can afford to lose.
Who Is the Back-to-Back Bonus For?#
| Profile | Suitability |
|---|---|
| New account, want extra capital on first deposit | 100% tier is relevant; read terms and opt in |
| Will deposit regularly and want bonus on later deposits | 50% and 20% tiers are useful |
| I use swap-free (Islamic) account | Check XM’s current campaign page for swap-free eligibility |
| Only a small trial deposit | Consider minimum deposit and volume requirement; you can also trade without bonus |
The bonus offers extra opportunity; it is not “guaranteed profit” or a promise of extra returns. If you lose, both your deposit and the bonus are affected.
How to Request the Back-to-Back Bonus (Steps)#
- Open an XM account and complete verification if required.
- Read the campaign page; note the 100% + 50% + 20% terms, caps, volume requirement, and eligible account types.
- In the member area request the campaign or select the bonus option when depositing (depending on XM’s current interface).
- Make your first deposit; the 100% bonus is credited if conditions are met.
- Track the volume requirement; before withdrawing, ensure the required lot condition is satisfied.
- For the 50% and 20% tiers, follow the same campaign terms on your second and third deposits.
