A Pocket Option promo code adds bonus money to your deposit — the most popular one, 50START, gives +50% on a first deposit. It sounds simple, but many withdrawal complaints start with a bonus that was accepted without reading the terms. This guide explains the current pocketoption codes, exactly where to enter them, the turnover rules, and how to decide whether a bonus is a good idea for you.

Current Pocket Option promo codes

Codes tied to promotions (city-themed, sport-themed, anniversary offers) appear from time to time in Chat → Notifications → Promo inside the platform and on the official blog. They change quickly, so treat any “secret 200% code” you see on third-party sites with suspicion — if it is not shown inside your account, it will not work.

Where to find more codes: Gems and the Market

Profile → Promo codes: see available codes, check a code and activate it.

Pocket Option has a loyalty system based on Gems (crystals). You earn Gems by trading, completing achievements, taking part in the lottery, copying trades with a Mining licence or selling items in the Market. In the Market you can exchange Gems for deposit-bonus codes (20% to 110%), cashback, risk-free trades or an instant balance bonus. Purchased codes appear in Profile → Promo codes, where you can check and activate them.

Bonus rules: turnover and withdrawals

The key rule: bonus money is not withdrawable until you trade a certain turnover (the total volume of trades) — typically a multiple of the bonus amount, stated in the bonus terms before activation. Your own deposited funds are never locked and can be withdrawn at any time; if you withdraw before completing the turnover, the unused bonus is simply cancelled. Profit made with bonus funds counts as real money once the turnover is met.

  • Read the exact turnover multiplier in the bonus pop-up before confirming.
  • Trades on demo and cancelled/refunded trades do not count towards turnover.
  • One bonus per deposit; you cannot stack two percentage codes.
  • Bonuses can be changed or withdrawn by the platform at any time — check the current offer in your account.

Is the Pocket Option bonus worth taking?

Take the bonus if you plan to trade actively for weeks and a larger balance helps you follow your risk-management rules (e.g. 2% per trade). Skip it if you want to test the platform with a quick deposit-trade-withdraw cycle, if you deposit less than $50, or if you dislike any restriction on when you can withdraw profits. There is no bonus on the demo account — practice there first.
