# How to use bonuses

**Bonuses** are added to your trading account as credit funds. They count toward your account’s margin and increase your trading capital, allowing you to open larger positions.

The bonus amount is converted into real funds and added to your account balance once you meet the required trading volume. If the conditions of the bonus program aren’t met within the specified time period, the bonus will expire.

Bonuses can be supported on **MetaTrader 4/5** and **cTrader**, depending on your broker’s configuration.

To claim a bonus:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to **Bonuses** in the main menu.

{% hint style="info" %}
The names of menu items and other UI elements depend on your broker’s configuration and may differ from those shown in this guide.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
On the **Available programs** tab, view the available bonus programs and select the one to join.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Review the details and requirements of the selected program.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select an existing trading account or create a new one to claim the bonus.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Claim** to receive the bonus amount as credit to your trading account.
