The XM $30 bonus credit itself is not withdrawable. Profit made by trading with that credit can be withdrawn after the account meets XM's lot-volume requirement and passes normal withdrawal checks.
Direct answer
The $30 itself is credit, never cash — XM uses the term "non-deposited bonus" precisely to make this clear. What can become withdrawable is the profit you generate while trading with that credit, but only after two gates: (1) the lot-volume requirement shown in your own Members Area is fully met, and (2) the standard withdrawal compliance checks pass (KYC, name match, payment method in your name). If you close all positions before the volume requirement is satisfied, the credit is removed and any unrealised profit linked to it disappears too.
What's withdrawable, what isn't
| Item | Withdrawable? | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| The $30 credit itself | Never | It is trading credit only, removed at first withdrawal request |
| Profit before volume requirement is met | No | Held until the lot-volume counter reaches the threshold |
| Profit after volume requirement is met | Yes | Subject to KYC + payment-method-in-your-name checks |
| Your own deposited capital | Yes | Refunded to original deposit method first |
| Profit on a closed bonus position | Conditional | Counts toward volume only after closure; partial closure does not always count |
| Open / floating profit | No | Must be realised by closing the trade first |
From bonus to bank in 5 steps
Trade with the $30 credit
Use the credit to open positions. Every closed trade adds to the lot-volume counter visible in your XM Members Area.
Watch the volume counter
The Members Area shows the threshold and your current progress. This is the only number that matters for releasing profit — figures from external blogs are illustrative.
Realise the profit
Floating P&L is not withdrawable. Close the winning trades to convert floating profit into realised profit on the account balance.
Wait for the volume gate to clear
Once the volume requirement is fully met, the linked profit becomes eligible for withdrawal. The bonus credit is removed at this point or at the first withdrawal request.
File the withdrawal
From the Members Area, request withdrawal to a method in your own legal name. The bonus credit cannot be sent — only the eligible profit.
Common mistakes about bonus withdrawability
- Treating the $30 as a deposit equivalent — it is credit, removed before payout.
- Trying to withdraw before the lot-volume requirement is fully satisfied; the request is rejected and may flag the account.
- Closing all open trades to "lock in" profit before the volume gate clears — the bonus is removed and the profit may be too.
- Counting unrealised (floating) profit as withdrawable.
- Submitting a withdrawal to a card or wallet whose name does not match the XM profile.
