PU Prime Referral Code GET100BONUS is the string a brand-new client enters to claim a 100% deposit bonus worth up to $5,000 in trading credit when they open and fund an account. If you have never held an account with this broker before, the code itself is the easy part — the harder part is understanding what the credit actually is, which of the broker's several regulated entities will hold your account, and the order in which the steps have to happen for the bonus to land. This guide walks through the whole sequence from a cold start.

PU Prime is a forex and CFD broker offering more than a thousand instruments across currencies, indices, commodities, shares, ETFs, bonds and crypto. Trading is done through MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, a browser platform and a mobile app, with copy trading and VPS hosting available alongside them. For a first-time user, that means the account you open is a live trading account with market exposure, not a wallet or a savings product, and the bonus attaches to that trading account rather than sitting somewhere separate.

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. Which entity holds your account is decided by where you live. This is the single most important thing for a newcomer to grasp about promotions, because eligibility, reward structures and whether a promotion is offered at all vary by country. Checking the promotion terms for your country of residence before you fill in a single form saves the frustration of completing registration and then discovering the offer was never open to you.

New users often assume every code and link does the same job. They do not, and confusing them is the most common way a first-timer ends up with nothing credited.

This is the role GET100BONUS plays for you. You enter it during registration, or opt into the promotion from the promotions area of the client portal afterwards, and the reward — deposit credit — goes to you as the new account holder. No existing client has to be involved, and nothing is required of anyone else.

Existing clients generate a personal link from the promotions section of the portal. When someone signs up through it and completes a set of qualifying steps, both parties can receive a cash reward, with the referrer taking the larger share and the referee a smaller one. This is a separate mechanism from the sign-up code and pays in cash rather than credit.

This is a commercial arrangement where an introducing broker earns ongoing commission on your 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 for you: if you arrive via a partner link and then try to apply a referral code, one of the two will normally be disregarded. Decide which route serves you better before you register, because after registration the choice has already been made for you.

Under the sign-up promotion, your reward is 100% of a first deposit, capped at $5,000 of trading credit. The doubling is straightforward arithmetic — a matched deposit means the credit line equals what you put in, up to that ceiling. Once you reach the cap, further deposits do not increase the credit.

The word that matters is credit. This is not cash in your account. It enlarges the margin available to you, and it absorbs losses only after your own capital has been exhausted. You cannot withdraw it. What you can withdraw, in the normal way, is any profit you make while the credit is active. For a first-time user, the sensible mental model is a cushion sitting underneath your own money rather than extra money to trade larger with. Treating credit as capital is how a modest position turns into an oversized one without you noticing.

That last step is the one newcomers skip. A credit line should be visible and identifiable in the account before any position is open. Checking first means that if something has not applied — wrong account funded, verification still pending, promotion not open in your region — you find out while it is still fixable rather than after you have exposure on.

Most problems at this stage are procedural rather than dramatic. Working through them in advance is faster than raising a support ticket later.

Once your account is live, you can generate your own Refer-a-Friend link from that section of the portal. It takes a couple of clicks. A code someone gave you is not a substitute for your own link — the code rewards you as a new client, the link rewards you as an introducer.

Before you start sharing it, understand what you are asking of people. Referral rewards are never paid on registration alone. The referee typically has to clear three gates: 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 final condition is met, not instantly.

Two further points are worth being honest about. The volume requirement means real trading with real risk, and churning lots purely to unlock a reward is an efficient way to lose more in spread than the reward is worth. And the amounts on both sides are tiered by the referee's country, with markets grouped into tiers and noticeably less paid for referrals from lower ones. Headline figures therefore describe the top of a range rather than the typical outcome. There is also a cap on how many people one client can be rewarded for referring; beyond that limit neither side earns anything, so the programme does not function as an income stream.

On the plus side, the sign-up credit costs nothing in cash, it can be substantial, and applying the code is a single field during registration. Referral rewards, separately, are paid in cash rather than non-withdrawable credit and pay both parties rather than the referrer alone.

Against that, the deposit bonus cannot be withdrawn, referral rewards require the referee to deposit and clear a volume threshold, reward amounts are tiered downward for many countries, the referral programme is capped by headcount, partner links and referral codes generally cannot be combined, and the whole thing depends on which regulated entity holds your account.

For someone opening a first account, the calculation is fairly simple. If the promotion is open where you live, entering GET100BONUS costs you nothing and adds a margin buffer, so there is little reason to leave the field blank. The discipline is in what you do next: size positions against your own deposit, treat the credit as a cushion rather than as capital, and confirm the credit line is visible before your first trade. As a prospective referrer, the fairer test is whether you would recommend the broker to that person if no reward existed at all.

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.

Promotional terms, eligibility and values are set by the provider and can change at any time. Always confirm the current terms on the official site before signing up or completing a purchase.
