They don't get away with it, there is a price to pay if they behave badly, this, if we as traders talk about it in a balanced way in forums like this one.
They didn't pay the bonus because you were profitable (they would lose even more money if they paid it to you).
I wish that was true, but in fact I lost money during that bonus period. They called me up several times and asked me how I was doing. Don't worry they told me, you have got the bonus to fall back on (great I thought).

Ridiculous. If they said that you should be contacting the FOS and FSA ASAP OK (ETC).
Yes they certainly did, I have no need to give false information in order to discredit them in any way. Although, I do have to say they have always been polite when contacting me, but that doesn't help me when they don't live up to their part of the bonus offer.

I wasn't disbelieving you, gle. You shouldn't let it go, otherwise they'll just do the same to someone else.
Thanks R.Charnock. In fact I have already moved on. I don't want to waste more energy on these guys. Those who want to know my overall experience with them during the intense month of trading I had with them, I have to say GKFX have gotten better executing trades. Although slippage is still a big problem. It seems that the servers just can't handle a market that moves quickly without gap. The stop loss orders at times just goes through the stop loss as if the MT4 servers are too slow reacting. If this is designer slippage or just a plain system issue I really can't tell.
You should take this to the FOS. It's your 600 pounds of bonus money if you say you have satisfied their requirements and you seem to have proof. Why do you accept being shafted by them? I would never have taken this on the chin, never ever.
Thanks, but my time and energy is more valuable and GKFX will pay a price for not honoring their part of the bonus program. Traders do research before signing up with a broker and they will find out that they are not dependable. Yes I did not get the bonus money that is true, but I can guarantee you, they lose a lot more for not giving what is rightfully mine. This thread and others will be read for many years by traders who are interested in their service. The bonus offer user agreement is also written in a way, that in fact gives them the ability to decide in which way they want in case of a dispute with a client.
Yes, 10 days is a long time for a withdrawal. I suggest you get in contact with them in order to find out why you have not received the money.

Let's hope they're not going do a Worldspreads on us.
The issue has been resolved (it was my bank's fault).
Really?
Good on you, I wish I was just as lucky with my £600.Really?
You make your own luck and yours should come via the FOS that is if you did something about it
Profoundly speaking my friend, especially in trading creating your own "luck" is essential. However depending on luck getting your money out from a broker, this probably tells you that you are dealing with the wrong broker, but I do get your meaning.You make your own luck and yours should come via the FOS that is if you did something about it

Is there any other company where you can spreadbet in increments of 10p per point?
Yes, the MT4/MT5 ones: FXCM, Alpari and ActivTrades.

Any that don't use Metatrader?
Only Finspreads, but it lasts for 8 weeks and then reverts back to normal. Other than that, the next lowest that I am aware of is Marketspreads.ie, of which the minimum is 0.20 euro per point.
