A credit bonus is a non-withdrawable promotional trading credit added to your VT Markets trading account to increase your usable equity and free margin. While it helps support open positions and absorb market drawdowns, submitting a withdrawal or internal transfer will trigger an immediate proportional or full deduction of your credit bonus in accordance with campaign terms.
How a credit bonus supports your trading account
Increases your total equity and margin level
Because the credit bonus increases your total equity and margin level, it creates an extra buffer that helps protect open positions against premature stop-outs during sharp market fluctuations.
Allowing you to open larger trade volumes (lot sizes)
Credit bonuses add directly to your free margin, allowing you to open larger trade volumes (lot sizes) than your trading account balance alone would support.
What happens to your credit bonus during withdrawals and internal transfers
Once you submit a withdrawal or internal transfer, the pop-up message will display an on-screen alert confirming how your promotional credit will be affected:
When submitting the withdrawal request
When you submit a withdrawal request, a proportionate share or the entire credit bonus is deducted immediately upon submission—even if the withdrawal is later cancelled or rejected. Deducted credits cannot be restored. Entries labeled Deduct Credit-AuditWithdrawal or Credit Out-AuditWithdrawal in your transaction history
When submitting the internal transfers request
Depending on the promotion's rules, transferring funds out of a trading account removes either a proportionate share or the entire credit bonus.
Once your account meets specific requirements, a credit transfer option unlocks on the internal transfer page, allowing qualifying credits to move alongside your trading account balance.
