Deposit Bonus

Bonus Policy

Rules governing the use of Zynex Broker deposit bonuses, including prohibited hedging, scalping, and bonus abuse.

Updated August 31, 2026 8 sections

The Deposit Bonus is a promotional benefit intended to support genuine trading activity. Any attempt to exploit, hedge, manipulate, or systematically abuse the bonus may result in cancellation of the bonus and any bonus-derived benefits, subject to the applicable Terms & Conditions.

02

1. Hedging Is Strictly Prohibited

Hedging strategies intended to exploit the Deposit Bonus are not permitted.

This includes:

  • Opening BUY and SELL positions simultaneously or in coordination across multiple accounts.
  • Hedging between two or more accounts belonging to the same trader.
  • Hedging through accounts belonging to friends, family members, associated persons, or coordinated traders.
  • External hedging using another broker or trading platform for the purpose of creating risk-free or artificially reduced-risk exposure against a bonus account.
  • Creating multiple accounts or identities to execute opposite positions and exploit promotional credit.

Where linked or coordinated hedging activity is identified, the activity may be classified as Bonus Abuse.

03

2. Ultra-Short-Term Bonus Scalping

The Deposit Bonus is not intended for systematic ultra-short-duration trading designed primarily to extract small profits from promotional credit.

Repeated entry and exit activity where positions are routinely held for only a few seconds—for example, approximately 5–10 seconds—may be reviewed as potential Bonus Abuse.

An occasional short-duration trade alone will not automatically constitute abuse. The overall trading pattern and account activity will be considered.

05

4. Minimum Meaningful Trade Requirement

Among the qualifying trades, at least one position must remain genuinely open for a minimum of 5 minutes.

The trade must also use a reasonable lot size consistent with the trader's normal trading activity.

For example, executing several 2.00-lot short-duration trades and then opening only a 0.01-lot position for five minutes solely to satisfy this requirement will not be considered sufficient.

The compliance team may consider the trader's typical/median lot size, trading history, instrument, account equity, and overall trading pattern when determining whether the qualifying trade represents genuine market exposure.

06

5. Artificial Trading Activity

The following may be treated as Bonus Abuse:

  • Trades opened solely to satisfy minimum-trade requirements.
  • Coordinated trading between linked accounts.
  • Multiple accounts operated for the same beneficial owner to obtain multiple bonuses.
  • Artificially splitting or rotating positions to circumvent bonus conditions.
  • Systematic exploitation of pricing errors, execution delays, technical errors, or bonus-credit calculation issues.
  • Any arrangement intended to create substantially risk-free profit from promotional credit rather than genuine market exposure.
07

6. Compliance Review

Accounts displaying unusual bonus-related trading patterns may be subject to manual review. During the review, additional KYC, account ownership, payment/wallet ownership, or trading information may be requested.

The review should be based on documented account activity and the applicable bonus terms rather than an isolated profitable trade.

08

7. Consequences of Confirmed Bonus Abuse

Where a review establishes a violation of this Bonus Policy, Zynex Broker may, subject to the applicable Terms & Conditions:

  • Remove unused promotional bonus credit;
  • Cancel benefits or profits directly attributable to prohibited bonus-abuse activity;
  • Remove the account from current or future promotional programs; and/or
  • Restrict or terminate bonus eligibility for linked accounts involved in coordinated abuse.

Any treatment of the client's original deposited funds will be handled separately in accordance with the applicable account agreement, withdrawal policy, and legal/regulatory requirements.

09

8. One Trader – One Genuine Bonus Usage

Promotional bonuses are intended for genuine individual trading. Creating or coordinating multiple identities, accounts, wallets, devices, or associated accounts for the purpose of repeatedly claiming or exploiting promotional offers is prohibited.

Important: The Deposit Bonus is a promotional trading benefit and should not be treated as withdrawable cash unless expressly stated otherwise. By accepting and using a Deposit Bonus, the client agrees to the applicable Bonus Terms & Conditions.
