XM no-deposit and deposit bonuses solve different problems: one lets you test without funding, the other increases margin after you deposit.
No deposit bonus
The old no-deposit bonus was for eligible new clients and required no deposit. Current XM bonuses are country-specific, so verify the live Members Area card before assuming any bonus applies.
Deposit bonus
From 5 June 2026, XM runs a new deposit bonus structure: a welcome deposit bonus in the first 14 days for new clients, plus monthly deposit bonuses up to $5,000 that start from a guaranteed amount, grow the more you trade, and reset each month. The bonus is trading credit, not directly withdrawable. See the XM deposit bonus guide.
Which is better?
Use the no-deposit bonus first if your goal is broker testing. Consider deposit bonuses only after you understand withdrawal effects, proportional bonus removal and your real risk budget.
