Here's what they told me about deposits. If you take the bonus, which you must specifically request, then you must trade 40 times the bonus amount in volume. If you don't do that you cannot withdraw any money at all, even your own cash. I cant believe anything so ridiculous would be legal anywhere other than some third world dump, which is presumably why they are there in the first place.
It seems by taking the 5k bonus this unfortunate Jaga chap has basically given them his money for keeps. Of course he cant exactly go to the regulator to complain because he decided in his wisdom to deal with an unregulated company.
Proof if ever it was needed that all unregulated brokers should be avoided at all costs. Here is the chat session.

you: hi
Hanan: hello
Hanan: how can I assist?
you: I see you advertise a bonus if I make a deposit, is that right?
Hanan: yes
you: I have about $25,000 to invest, is the bonus 100%? How does that work?
Hanan: yes, you will be able to get 100% bonus
you: Are there any special conditions, do I have to wait a certain time to withdraw funds or anything?
Hanan: you need to reach a volume of 40 times the bonus amount before any withdraw
you: Before any withdrawal or a withdrawal of the bonus?
Hanan: before any withdrawal
you: so that would be 40 times $25,000, thats a million right?
Hanan: right
Hanan: you can take less bonus
you: If I dont take the bonus what is the deal regarding withdrawals?
Hanan: you can withdraw whenever you want
you: OK I understand
you: How do I sign up and ensure that I dont get the bonus by mistake?
Hanan: we add the bonus only if you asked for it
Hanan: also you can come back to me after you register to make sure
you: OK so I must specifically ask for it, do I need to sign something to say I want it?
Hanan: no. if you want it you just request it
you: Yes but I dont want it, so what should I do to make sure I dont get it?
Hanan: nothing
Hanan: we won't add you a bonus if you don't ask for it
you: OK thanks, thats all for now
Hanan: my pleasure
