Plus500 - non ref
are offering new users a free $20/£20/€25. This is completely free but obviously you can't just withdraw it, this free bonus is to invest with. You don't need to enter any credit card info to create an account. It only took me a minute to sign up. They do require a mobile number to validate your account with a code sent via SMS. I've not received any spam texts/emails at all by the way. You don't need to be a trader or anything.
Here's a pic of my account. I've made a small win so far
. I don't expect to withdraw anything unless I put some of my own funds in, possibly in the future, but it is a bit of fun at the moment.
http://imgur.com/mOl1XgNTo be able to withdraw the bonus you must earn 60TPoints, which seems pretty hard to do unless you're going to be investing quite a bit of your own money (but it's still more enjoyable than playing with 'play money'). Different currencies, shares etc reward different amounts of TPoints. I guess if you are good at playing the bitcoin market you can buy low, sell high a bucket load of times to get your wagering requirement up but I mean a bucket load!
"Bonus Requirements:
To withdraw your free bonus you need 60 TPoints (trader points)
One bonus per household/IP address.
The bonus expires in 3 months."Trader Points per $/£750
Bitcoin / USD 12.78
Which compared to other Forex/Shares/Commodities etc, the TPoints reward is pretty good. But still you're going to need to have traded at least $3521 to get that bonus! They do accept Paypal, but note you are not buying Bitcoin here! You cannot withdraw to a bitcoin address. You are trading a CFD (definition below).
So if your interested here's the links:
What is a CFD? A CFD, or Contract for Difference, is an agreement between two parties to exchange the difference between the opening price and closing price of a contract.
CFDs are derivatives products that allow you to trade on live market price movements without actually owning the underlying instrument on which your contract is based.
You can use CFDs to speculate on the future movement of market prices regardless of whether the underlying markets are rising or falling. You can go short (sell), allowing you to profit from falling prices, or hedge your portfolio to offset any potential loss in value of your physical investments. Moreover, with over 10,000 markets to trade, you can gain exposure to markets you may not have had access to before. We offer prices on shares, indices, currencies, commodities and more.
