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)
We cover:
- No deposit forex bonuses — the offer, the terms, the actual claim flow.
- Lot-volume / wagering mechanics — how they work and how they're measured.
- Country eligibility, KYC steps, withdrawal mechanics.
- Honest red flags on offers that don't pay.
We deliberately don't cover:
- Broker leaderboards, "Top 50 brokers" listicles, or scoring systems we can't justify.
- Trading signals, copy-trading vendors, paid courses, or "guaranteed" strategies.
- Crypto airdrops and casino bonuses — wrong product, wrong audience.
Methodology — how we test a bonus before listing it
- Open a real account in a real eligible jurisdiction. Demo accounts don't count. We use the same signup funnel a normal reader would.
- Submit real KYC. Identity and proof-of-address documents go through the broker's standard verification process.
- Claim the credit. We document where the button is, when it appears, and how long the credit takes to land in MT4 / MT5.
- Trade through the lot-volume requirement. Conservative sizing, conventional pairs, no exotic instruments. We track the in-platform volume counter against the claimed requirement.
- 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.
- 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
- Real money on a real account (not demo, not points).
- Withdrawable trading profits with achievable conditions.
- Recognised regulator (CySEC, ASIC, FSCA, IFSC, DFSA, FSA-Seychelles, FSC-Mauritius, or stricter).
- 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.
How we handle affiliate links
- Some links to brokers — including XM — are affiliate links. They do not change the price of anything for you, and they do not influence our verdict.
- We list non-paying offers that pass our four tests. We exclude paying offers that don't.
- Sponsored posts, paid placements and guest posts are not accepted on this site.
- We don't take payment to add or remove a broker.

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.
