FreeForexStart.ru is managed by Mikhail Chernov, a professional trader with over 15 years of experience. All reviews and recommendations are based on hands-on testing of bonus offers conducted since 2018.
Our goal is to provide verified information about real forex no-deposit bonuses while minimizing risks for novice traders.
1. Selection Criteria for Publication
We only consider offers that meet at least 4 out of the following 5 criteria:
| Criterion | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Regulation | License from CySEC, FCA, ASIC, or a reputable Tier-2+ offshore regulator |
| Minimum Amount | $10 or more (offers below this threshold are not listed) |
| Transparent Terms | Clear rules regarding trading requirements, withdrawals, and verification |
| Verified Withdrawal | Confirmed cases of profit withdrawal (personal experience or verified user proof) |
| Validity | The promotion must be active at the time of publication |
2. The 5-Step Bonus Testing Process
Step 1: Registration and Verification
We create a new account using real data. We undergo full KYC (Know Your Customer) verification by submitting a valid ID/Passport and Proof of Residence (utility bill or bank statement). We record the time taken from application to bonus crediting.
Step 2: Crediting and Trading Commencement
We verify that the bonus amount matches the advertisement, check the account type (ECN/STP), available platforms (MT4/MT5), instruments, and leverage. We set up the terminal and execute test trades.
Step 3: Meeting Trading Requirements
We trade using a conservative strategy (1-2% risk per trade). During this phase, we monitor: spreads, execution speed, order rejections, and requotes. We aim to reach the required trading turnover (lots).
Step 4: Profit Withdrawal
We submit a withdrawal request. We record: processing time, fees, and available payment methods (cards, e-wallets, crypto). We confirm the receipt of funds into our account.
Step 5: Final Evaluation
We calculate the net profit after all conditions are met. A full report with screenshots is published only if the bonus has passed all stages without hidden obstacles or violations.
3. What We DO NOT Publish
- Bonuses without clear withdrawal terms;
- Offers requiring a mandatory deposit BEFORE the bonus is granted;
- Scam brokers without a license or those with widespread negative feedback;
- Expired promotions (we perform monthly audits);
- Bonuses where we personally failed to successfully withdraw profits after meeting requirements.
4. Transparency and Partnerships
We use affiliate links. If you register through our link, the site may receive a commission. This:
- Does not affect your trading conditions or spreads;
- Motivates us to conduct thorough and honest bonus testing;
- Allows us to keep the website free for all users.
5. Information Accuracy
Bonus terms are subject to change. We consistently:
- Update the status of offers to “Active” or “Expired”;
- Remove outdated promotions;
- Add warnings if a broker tightens their bonus requirements.
The last update date is specified in every article.
6. Data Sources
- Official broker websites and legal documentation;
- Personal testing experience (since 2018);
- Verified user reviews (with proof of withdrawal);
- Regulatory databases (CySEC, FCA, ASIC, etc.).
