    genuine question i never got. if the bonus is free money why is it bad. broker hands me 100% extra to trade with, worst case i lose their money not mine right? where exactly is the catch

      the catch is the turnover requirement + the fact your money and the bonus get mixed. you cant withdraw YOUR deposit until youve traded some huge volume (like 30-50x the bonus). so the 'free money' actually locks up your real money. and the spread you pay reaching that volume usually exceeds the bonus. its a deposit lock dressed as a gift

        this. its not free money its a leash on your own funds. read any bonus terms and theres always a 'cannot withdraw until X lots traded' line. thats the whole mechanism
