IG Markets review: Platform expands referral program
IG Markets has strengthened its client acquisition strategy by updating its Refer-a-Friend program, offering existing clients the opportunity to earn up to $10,000 in rewards.
- Chosen by 3 200+ local traders in the last 3 months.
- Traders earn on average 12% more per month vs other brokers.
The expanded initiative provides tiered incentives for both the referrer and the referred trader, aligning payouts with trading activity across the first three months of account opening.
The program is designed to promote organic growth through user-driven referrals—an approach increasingly adopted by global brokers seeking to expand their retail presence without aggressive advertising outlays.
How the referral program works
Under the updated structure, a client earns $100 when a referred friend opens a live account and completes five qualifying trades within a three-month window.
A second, higher-tier reward becomes available if the referral’s trading activity reaches $4,000 or more in spread or commission costs. In such cases:
• The referrer earns $200
• The referred trader receives a rebate of up to 30% of qualifying trading costs
Clients can repeat the process with multiple referrals, generating rewards up to the program’s $10,000 cap. IG Markets notes that full terms and conditions apply, including restrictions for certain jurisdictions and account types.
The structure incentivizes not just sign-ups, but also sustained trading activity—an important metric for brokers operating in highly competitive multi-asset markets.
