1. The Bonus

For you and your Friend to receive your Bonus:

1.1 You must comply with these Offer Terms; and

1.2 You must be a Pepperstone Pro and your Friend must: 

• a) Step 1: Open a Standard or Razor account with Pepperstone, and provide your email address where indicated in their account application (Account Preferences – ‘How did you hear of us’ section); and
• b) Step 2: be approved by us as a Pepperstone Pro;
• c) Step 3: Meet the Deposit and Trade Requirements below within 90 days of opening their account: 

_{*Lot size is generally 1 unit of the relevant currency per point. Index markets are quoted in points, rather than in currency terms. For example, the ASX200 might be quoted at 7000 points. This means that the collective value of Index points attributable to the top 200 Australian stocks by market capitalization add up to 7000. The value of each of these points is 1 AUD per point, so the theoretical notional value of the index is 7000 AUD for a 1 lot (1 contract) trade.}  

1.3 Once your Friend meets the Deposit and Trade Requirements, we’ll deposit the Bonus into your trading account and your Friend’s Standard or Razor account within 30 days.

1.4 As shown in the table above, the Bonus payable to You and Your Friend will differ depending on whether Your Friend becomes a Pepperstone Pro by satisfying either the Sophisticated Investor test or the Wealth Test.
