PU Prime referral code GET100BONUS is the string new clients enter to claim a 100% deposit bonus up to $1,000 when they open and fund an account. It is worth being precise about what it is, though, because PU Prime runs two separate things that both get called referrals — a promotional sign-up code that rewards the new client, and a Refer-a-Friend programme that pays an existing client for bringing someone in. They work differently, they pay different people, and they are not always combinable.

PU Prime is a forex and CFD broker with more than a thousand instruments spanning currencies, indices, commodities, shares, ETFs, bonds and crypto. It runs MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 alongside a browser platform and mobile app, and supports copy trading and VPS hosting.

The group operates through several entities regulated to different standards — ASIC in Australia, the FSCA in South Africa, and offshore licences in Mauritius and Seychelles. The entity that holds your account is determined by where you live, and this matters more for referrals than people assume: reward tiers, eligibility and whether a promotion is offered at all vary by country.

Three mechanisms are commonly lumped together, and knowing which one you are using tells you who gets paid.

This is what GET100BONUS functions as for a new client. You enter it when registering or when opting into a promotion in the client portal, and the reward — deposit credit — goes to you, the new account holder. Nothing is required of anyone else.

Existing clients generate a personal link from the promotions section of the client portal and share it. When someone signs up through that link and completes a set of qualifying steps, both parties can receive a cash reward. The referrer is paid for the introduction; the referee gets a smaller reward for arriving that way.

A separate commercial arrangement in which an introducing broker earns ongoing commission on the client's trading volume rather than a one-off reward. Sign-ups through a partner link are usually not eligible for Refer-a-Friend rewards, because the broker will not pay twice for the same client.

The practical consequence: if you arrive via a partner link and then try to apply a referral code, one of the two will normally be disregarded. Pick the route that gives you the better outcome before you register, not after.

Under the sign-up promotion, the new client's reward is the deposit bonus — 100% of a first deposit, capped at $1,000 of trading credit. This is credit, not cash: it enlarges the margin available in the account, absorbs losses only after your own capital is exhausted, and cannot be withdrawn. Profits made while it is active are withdrawable normally.

Under Refer-a-Friend, the currency is different. Rewards there are cash bonuses, with the referrer receiving the larger share and the referee a smaller one. Both amounts are tiered by the referee's country — the broker groups markets into tiers and pays noticeably less for referrals from lower tiers. There is also a cap on how many people one client can be rewarded for referring, after which neither side earns anything from further introductions.

Referral rewards are never paid on registration alone. The referee typically has to clear three gates before anything is credited: open and verify a live account, fund it to a stated minimum, and then trade a stated volume in qualifying instruments — usually a lot count across forex, gold, silver, crude oil or major crypto pairs. The reward is released some days after the last condition is met, not instantly.

Two details cause most of the disappointment. The volume requirement is real trading with real risk — nobody is handed cash for depositing and sitting still, and churning lots purely to unlock a reward is an efficient way to lose more in spread than the reward is worth. And the deposit minimum and reward tier are linked, so the advertised headline figure is the top of a range rather than what most referees produce.

If you also intend to refer others, generate your own link from the Refer-a-Friend section of the portal once your account is live. Your link is yours; a code you were given is not a substitute for it.

If you plan to introduce friends, be straight with them about what they are signing up for. The referrer's reward is contingent on the referee depositing real money and taking real market risk, which puts you in the position of benefiting from someone else's trading. That is a fine arrangement between adults who both understand it, and a poor one if the person you referred did not realise the volume requirement was going to cost them spread to satisfy.

It is also worth knowing that referral rewards are capped by headcount. Beyond the limit, neither you nor the people you introduce receive anything, so treating the programme as an income stream does not work.

As a new client, entering GET100BONUS costs nothing and adds a margin buffer, so there is no reason not to use it if the promotion is open in your country — provided you treat the credit as a cushion rather than as capital to trade larger with.

As a prospective referrer, judge the programme on whether you would recommend the broker without being paid. The rewards are real but conditional, tiered downward for many countries, and capped. Referring people into leveraged trading for a bonus is not a neutral act, and the reward is small next to what an inexperienced referee can lose satisfying the volume requirement.

Trading carries a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Evaluation fees are generally non-refundable unless the provider's terms state otherwise. Nothing here is financial advice.
