FXView Bonuses and Promotions: How to Check What Is Actually on Offer
Promotional terms belong to the broker and change without notice, so the only reliable source is the broker's own site and the client area — never a third-party page like this one. What this page does instead: show how to verify a claim in a couple of minutes, and what to compare when no promotion is running.
Open FXView Account →Promotional terms are set by the broker and change without notice, so any bonus claim should be verified in the broker's own promotions section and in the deposit screen of the client area — not on a third-party page. When no campaign is running, the comparison that matters is cost: spread from about 0.6 pips on the commission-free account, from 0.0 pips plus roughly $2 per lot per side on Raw ECN, plus swap on positions held overnight. Minimum deposit is $50.
Verifying a promotion, and what decides cost when there is none
- Check the source, not the summary. Any live campaign appears first in the broker's own promotions section and in the deposit screen of the client area. If a page asks you to deposit through its link to 'unlock' an offer, or asks for client-area login details, that is not an offer to verify — that is a page to close. This site is an independent information resource and is not the broker.
- Read what a bonus does to the money before you accept it. Credited funds are normally tied to a turnover requirement — a volume target that must be traded before the bonus, and sometimes the deposit itself, can be withdrawn. A 'free' 100% credit on a $500 deposit that requires tens of lots of turnover is not free; it is a lock on $500 with a trading cost attached.
- When no promotion is running, cost is the whole comparison, and FXView publishes it per account: the commission-free account starts from about 0.6 pips of spread with $0 commission; the Raw ECN account starts from 0.0 pips with roughly $2 per lot per side. Over 20 round-turn lots a month the difference between those two structures is a real number you can calculate before opening an account.
- The overnight swap is the cost most promotional maths ignores. Any position held past the daily rollover is debited or credited a swap on both legs of the pair; on a multi-day position that line can exceed the spread paid at entry. A swap-free (Islamic) option is offered on eligible accounts, and its terms are also the broker's to set and change.
- Canada-specific check that matters more than any bonus: retail forex and CFD dealers serving Canadian residents are overseen by CIRO, and registration is searchable on the regulator's public register. FXView operates through offshore and EU entities of the Finvasia Group (the group traces to 2009; the FXView brand to 2017), so before depositing, confirm which entity your account would be opened with and what protection applies to it. That question outranks any welcome offer.
- Minimum deposit on the standard route is $50 — low enough that trying the platform with a small first deposit is a cheaper test than any bonus. Most retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs.
What a promotion claim should survive before you act on it
| Check | Where to look | Red flag |
|---|---|---|
| Does the campaign exist? | Broker's own promotions page and the deposit screen | Only a third-party page mentions it |
| Turnover requirement | Full terms and conditions of the offer | Volume target not stated in lots |
| Withdrawal effect | Whether the deposit itself is locked | 'Bonus' blocks the original deposit |
| Which entity | Account opening documents | Entity not named anywhere |
| Who asks for what | The page holding the offer | Asks for client-area login details |
Frequently asked questions
How do I check whether an FXView promotion is real?
Look for it in the broker's own promotions section and in the deposit screen of the client area. A campaign that exists is visible there before any money is sent. A page that asks you to deposit through its link or to enter client-area credentials is not a source to trust.
What is a turnover requirement?
A volume target, usually stated in lots, that must be traded before bonus funds — and sometimes the deposit itself — can be withdrawn. It converts a headline percentage into a trading obligation with real spread and commission cost attached.
What matters more than a bonus when choosing an account?
The cost structure and the entity. Compare spread and commission across the accounts you would actually use, add the swap if you hold overnight, and confirm which legal entity the account is opened with and what oversight applies to it.
Is FXView regulated in Canada?
Retail forex and CFD dealers serving Canadian residents fall under CIRO, whose register is public and searchable. FXView operates through offshore and EU entities of the Finvasia Group, so confirm on the regulator's register which entity you are dealing with before depositing.
