About BonusForex30 — Editorial Standards & Methodology

BonusForex30 is a single-purpose publication. We track no deposit forex bonuses, in detail, and refuse to list anything we cannot reproduce as paying. The site is run by a small editorial team of long-time forex traders and financial journalists. We do not run a brokerage, manage money, or accept paid placement.

What we cover (and what we don't)

Methodology — how we test a bonus before listing it

  1. Open a real account in a real eligible jurisdiction. Demo accounts don't count. We use the same signup funnel a normal reader would.
  2. Submit real KYC. Identity and proof-of-address documents go through the broker's standard verification process.
  3. Claim the credit. We document where the button is, when it appears, and how long the credit takes to land in MT4 / MT5.
  4. Trade through the lot-volume requirement. Conservative sizing, conventional pairs, no exotic instruments. We track the in-platform volume counter against the claimed requirement.
  5. Withdraw a profit, however small. A successful withdrawal is the only proof that matters. If withdrawal is blocked, the offer is excluded — regardless of commercial relationship.
  6. Re-test monthly. Promotions change. We re-run abbreviated tests at least every 30 days and update the page-level "last verified" date.

The four-test criteria for inclusion

  1. Real money on a real account (not demo, not points).
  2. Withdrawable trading profits with achievable conditions.
  3. Recognised regulator (CySEC, ASIC, FSCA, IFSC, DFSA, FSA-Seychelles, FSC-Mauritius, or stricter).
  4. Honoured in our own claim test in the last 30 days.

Offers that fail any one of the four tests are excluded, even if a broker offers commercial terms.

Why focus on the $30 specifically?

Because as of April 2026, after applying our four-test screen, exactly one mainstream live no deposit forex bonus passes consistently across most countries: the XM $30. Building a publication around that one offer — and being honest that it's the only one we can recommend — is more useful than running a fake "Top 10" of bonuses that mostly don't pay.

About the publisher
