Wagering requirement

A wagering (turnover) requirement is the condition attached to a bonus: before the bonus turns into money you can withdraw, you must trade a total volume equal to the bonus multiplied by a set factor. Turnover counts the stakes of qualifying trades, not the profit.

Why it matters: a bonus is not free money. A ×30 requirement on a $20 bonus means $600 of trading volume. Since every fixed-payout trade carries a built-in cost, meeting a requirement with trades you wouldn't otherwise take can cost more than the bonus is worth. Reading the conditions before accepting is the minimum.

At Sky Trade:

• the default multiplier is ×30; bonuses from level promo codes carry ×50 to ×100;
• only real trades that end in a win or a loss count — ties, cancelled trades, safe trades and simultaneous opposite trades on the same pair don't;
• one bonus can be active at a time;
• with an active bonus you can withdraw your balance minus the bonus, and withdrawing more requires giving the bonus up, which removes it from the balance.
