Old Review:

Banc De Binary is one of the leading binary options brokers worldwide. Traders, who got familiar with options trading, found BDB’s platform very intuitive, while the broker’s customer service and deposit/withdrawal conditions are at the highest level. However, there is one more thing that makes this broker unique. This is about Banc De Binary promotions, which shows the broker’s customer-oriented behavior and which can offer you many benefits.
Considering the duration, we can distinguish two main types of promotions with BDB. The first type is about ongoing promotions while the second refers to the temporary promotions, which come from time to time and are related to different occasions or holidays.

The ongoing promotions are available at any time for traders who meet the specific requirements described on the official website. These promotions are “refer a friend” and “luxury loyalty store gift”.

Refer a friend bonus

Here is how friend referral bonus works: first of all, you should make the first minimum deposit into your account. Then, you can spread the word about Banc De Binary by telling your friends the broker’s advantages. If you convince them to make an account at Banc De Binary and start trading options, which is not a big deal, you will get generous incentives.
The clients who want to enjoy the friend referral bonus should get in touch with their account managers. As a client, you will be required to indicate your friend’s email, full name, account number, and similar personal info.

Here are the bonus amounts:

• $ 50 – if your friends made deposits up to $999
• $ 100 – if your friends made deposits of over $1,000

In case you have more than 5 friends who would like to trade with BDB, you should inform your account manager and you will become a BDB partner.

Keep in mind that this bonus is available only for trading purposes – you cannot withdraw it right after it reaches your account. In order to get your cash, there are specific requirements. The main condition is to reach a trading volume 20 times the bonus amount. It means that if you got a $50 bonus, you should buy no less than 20 options of $50 each, and only then, you would be able to withdraw the bonus amount. However, if your account has funds that are separated from the bonus, you can withdraw it anytime you want. Also, make sure your country is eligible for the friend referral bonus because there is a limited number of regions where it is available.

Luxury loyalty store gift

Banc De Binary customers can enjoy luxury gifts after making a deposit. In fact, the client has to choose at least the Silver Account type in order to become eligible for the loyalty store gift. It means that a minimum deposit of $2500 is required. The gifts generally refer to MacBook, iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy, Apple Watch and more!

The gift value will increase with the deposit amount – the greater the amount of the deposit, the higher the value of the gift. For example, if you opt for the Gold Account, which means a $5000 minimum deposit, you would be possible to choose a more expensive gift. There are also the Lion Premium Accounts, which require a minimum deposit of $10 000 for Premium and $25 000 for Platinum.

It is obvious that the loyalty store gifts will be much more expensive with such trading accounts.

The great thing about this promotion is the fact that you can choose by yourself your gift from a specific list of gadgets. In this way, you can think about your personal needs and get exactly what you want.

It is worth mentioning that the client can get only one gift per deposit. Even if you have opened a Lion Premium Account, you would not get more than one gift.
The client can also get the equivalent cash instead of the gift, but it is advisable to carefully read the conditions on the Banc De Binary’s official website. Also, keep in mind that this promotion is only available in a specific list of countries.

Do not hesitate to open an account with Banc De Binary and get a luxury gift because the broker may cancel this promotional campaign without announcement!
Temporary or occasional promotions

Banc De Binary is very generous with its holiday or special event promotions. As of September 2016, there are no specific promotions available, but once there is a major holiday, like the New Year, or the Easter, you would discover many appealing bonuses.

To make sure about it, we can recall some promotions in the recent months.

The most relevant example is the Easter Egg Hunt 2016, which was a promotion available from March 14 to March 27 of the current year. This promotion was truly exciting because of the great gifts available for traders.

The promotion worked like this: all the Banc De Binary traders could note a pop-up with Easter eggs, in which each egg showed a specific amount that could be deposited. If the client chose to click the egg and replenish the account with the requested amount, he would receive an exclusive gift.

Here is the list with the gifts that were available with the previous campaign:

• $1,000 deposit – Urban Monkey Bluetooth SoundBar
• $2,500 deposit –Louis Vuitton Mini 25mm Belt
• $5,000 deposit – Optoma ML750e Portable Projector
• $10,000 deposit – Apple iPad Pro 32GB WiFi
• $15,000 deposit – Apple MacBook Pro 13-Inch

The new traders could also enjoy this promotion by simply making the first deposit in line with the amounts shown above.
We are sure that next year, at the Easter holiday in 2017, Banc De Binary will organize a great theme promotion as well. Maybe the gifts will be more expensive at this time – keep an eye on it!
Finally, besides the already discussed permanent and occasional promotions, don’t forget that Banc De Binary offers the first deposit bonus, which can reach up to 100% of the deposit and is available for every new client who makes a deposit no less than $250.
