01 · How It Works
Bonus = Credit With Conditions
A deposit bonus adds extra balance on top of what you put in — but it's not simply cash. It typically carries a turnover (wagering) requirement: you must trade a set multiple of the bonus (or deposit plus bonus) before that bonus — and sometimes your ability to withdraw — is released. The multiplier and scope are spelled out when you accept.
The word that matters: turnover
Every bonus decision hinges on the turnover multiple. A small bonus with a huge turnover can be far worse than no bonus at all. Find that number first.
02 · The Catch
When a Bonus Locks Your Money
Here's the part that surprises people: while a bonus is active with an unmet turnover, withdrawals can be restricted. You deposit, take the bonus, then find you can't cash out until you've traded a large volume — which itself means more risk. This is the single most common bonus complaint, and it's in the terms, not a glitch.
| The pitch | The reality |
|---|---|
| "Free 50% extra" | Conditional credit, not withdrawable cash |
| "Boost your balance" | Requires heavy trading volume to unlock |
| (Unsaid) | Withdrawals may be locked until turnover is met |
| (Unsaid) | Meeting turnover means taking on more risk |
03 · Should You Take It?
Flexibility vs. Extra Balance
For many traders — especially beginners — the honest answer is skip it. Unencumbered funds you can withdraw anytime are usually worth more than bonus credit chained to a turnover target. Take a bonus only if you've read the exact terms and are genuinely comfortable with the volume required.
A bonus can delay or block withdrawals until turnover is met — always read the terms before accepting. Binary options carry a real risk of losing capital regardless of any bonus, and most traders lose. This is informational, not financial advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Stockity deposit bonus work?
You get extra bonus balance on top of your deposit, but it usually comes with a turnover (wagering) requirement — you must trade a multiple of the bonus (or deposit+bonus) before the bonus, and sometimes withdrawals, unlock. The exact terms are shown when you accept it.
Can a bonus block my withdrawal?
Yes — this is the key catch. While an active bonus has an unmet turnover requirement, withdrawals can be restricted until you complete it. Always read the turnover terms before accepting any bonus.
Is the deposit bonus 'free money'?
Not really. It's conditional credit that requires a lot of trading volume to convert into withdrawable funds — and hitting that volume means taking on more risk. For many traders, the strings outweigh the benefit.
Should I take the deposit bonus?
Often, no — especially as a beginner. If flexibility to withdraw matters to you, skipping the bonus keeps your funds unencumbered. Take it only if you've read and are comfortable with the exact turnover terms.
Does the bot know about my bonus?
The bot trades your real balance; bonus balance and its turnover rules are governed by Stockity, not the bot. If a bonus is active, be aware it may affect when you can withdraw.
