Broker Rating Methodology

On the ForeksBonusBezDepozita portal, we follow the principle: "A bonus is good only when you can actually withdraw it". Our rating is the result of a multi-stage audit where each broker evaluation stage is handled by a specific team specialist.

Below is the detailed structure of our verification, consisting of 7 professional filters:

Legal Transparency and License Audit

Responsible expert: Alexey S. (Project Founder)
Before analyzing a broker's marketing offer, Alexey checks the company's "foundation":
  • Regulator registries: Verification of active licenses (FCA, CySEC, ASIC, FSC) directly on supervisory authority websites.
  • Brand history: Analysis of broker domain operation duration, checking for lawsuits and major scandals related to non-payments.
  • Legal cleanliness: If a broker is registered in an offshore zone, Alexey assesses the level of trader rights protection in the broker's registration jurisdiction.

KYC Procedure and Accessibility Check

Responsible expert: Igor D. (Technical Specialist)
Igor evaluates the "entry threshold" for beginners:
  • Registration complexity: Measuring time from click to personal cabinet access.
  • Verification audit: Igor tests if the broker requires excessive documents (e.g., notarized certification) at the bonus receiving stage. We value companies where document verification takes up to 24 hours.
  • Geographic filter: We confirm that the bonus is actually available to residents of your region so you don't waste time on futile registration.

Fine Print Analysis (Wagering Conditions)

Responsible expert: Marina V. (Senior Analyst)
Marina conducts deep mathematical analysis of fulfillment conditions:
  • Wager calculation: We calculate the required trading volume. If withdrawing $10 profit requires trading 100 lots in 2 days - such a bonus is considered "toxic" and receives "Low Trust" internal status.
  • Hidden restrictions: Marina searches regulations for clauses on maximum leverage, prohibited strategies (scalping, hedging), and bonus usage time limits.
  • Rules transparency: If rules are written vaguely and allow double interpretation, Marina requests clarifications from the broker's lawyers.

Trading Platform Technology Audit

Responsible expert: Igor D. (Technical Specialist)
Verification of terminal honesty and adequacy on bonus accounts:
  • Execution quality: We measure order closing speed and slippage presence during high volatility periods.
  • Account types: Is the bonus available on modern ECN/STP accounts or only on "kitchen" variants with high spreads.
  • Mobile trading: Stability of bonus operation in mobile applications is verified.

Financial Regulations and Withdrawal Test

Responsible expert: Marina V. (Senior Analyst)
Verification of actual money receipt reality:
  • Profit limits: Clear indication of the maximum amount the broker will allow to withdraw after bonus fulfillment.
  • Hidden deposits: We block brokers requiring large deposits for "bonus withdrawal activation".
  • Payment gateways: Verification of convenient withdrawal methods availability (cards, crypto wallets) and absence of predatory commissions.

"Secret Trader" Procedure

Responsible expert: Igor D. (Technical Specialist)
Every quarter, Igor anonymously goes through an ordinary user's path. He registers, receives the bonus, and simulates a conflict situation with tech support. This is the only way to learn how a broker actually treats its clients when bonus profit payment issues arise.
