When someone opens an IBKR individual or joint account through a friend's referral link and funds it, they earn $1 in IBKR stock for every $300 deposited, up to a maximum of $1000 in shares. The existing client who referred them separately earns $200 once the new account deposits and maintains at least $10,000.
Referral-gated. This bonus requires signing up through an existing member's referral link. Dealaka links only the official program page and never inserts its own referral link. See the method. We publish what the referring member earns and how the program is capped.
