IG does not have a promo code we have verified at the moment, and we do not publish codes we cannot confirm. The standing saving is the free demo account, which costs nothing and is the sensible first step. This page is updated whenever an offer changes, so it is the place to check before you open an account.

IG is a forex and CFD broker founded in 1974 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom. It is regulated by FCA, ASIC, BaFin, FINMA, MAS, FMA New Zealand, JFSA, DFSA, BMA and NFA/CFTC, which is the first thing worth checking before any promotion, because a licence decides what protection your money has and what kind of offers the broker is even allowed to run. The operating company is IG Markets Limited, part of IG Group Holdings plc.
Spreads start from 0.6 pips, with commission of $0 on standard forex CFDs on the raw or commission-based accounts. The minimum deposit is $0. Leverage goes up to 1:30 retail, which depends on the entity you sign up with and the rules of your regulator. Markets on offer cover forex, shares, indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, etfs, bonds/rates, options, futures, around 17,000+ instruments in total.
Trading runs on IG Trading Platform, MetaTrader 4, ProRealTime, TradingView. Account types include CFD, Spread Betting, Share Trading, Options, Turbo24 and 2 more. A free demo account is offered, which is the cheapest way to test the platform before any promotion matters.
Deposits can be made by visa, mastercard, debit card, bank transfer, paypal and 1 more. Support is available 24/5 by live chat, whatsapp, phone, email.
Because IG holds a licence from a regulator that restricts retail incentives, do not expect deposit bonuses or cash rewards under that entity. The offers you will usually find are the free demo account, occasional fee or commission promotions, and referral programmes, and any bonus that does appear will come from a different entity in the same group aimed at clients outside those rules.

Not at the moment. IG is not running a promo code we have been able to verify. The free demo account is free and is the best current saving. When a code is issued it will appear here.
Yes. IG offers a free demo account, which lets you test the platform with virtual funds before depositing.
Not as a rule. IG holds a licence from a regulator that restricts retail incentives, so do not expect deposit bonuses or cash rewards under that entity. The free demo and any fee promotions are the offers to look for.
The minimum deposit at IG is $0. It can differ by account type and by the entity you register with, so confirm it on the account page before funding.
Click "Show coupon code" on the card. The code is revealed and copied to your clipboard, and IG opens in a new tab. Register or sign in, and enter the code where the broker asks for a promo or partner code during registration or deposit. The discount shows in the total before you confirm.
Not always. Offers depend on the IG entity that serves your country, and brokers regulated in Australia, the UK and the EU are not allowed to give retail clients bonuses. Free demo accounts are generally available everywhere the broker accepts clients.
