Hi all,
I may have got this wrong, but this offer doesn't look that good to me. As far as I can tell, the £100 bonus isn't 'free' money as you can't ever withdraw it and it's only credited to your account once you've made a minimum initial deposit of £100 and done the required number of trades.
From their T&Cs:
8.Withdrawals cannot be made that would cause the cash balance of the customer's account to fall below the amount of the initial deposit before the bonus funds are credited.
Apologies for not sharing your collective enthusiasm - and do please correct me if I'm wrong or missing something!
