PU Prime Referral Code GET100BONUS is the string a new client enters to claim a 100% deposit bonus worth up to $5,000 in trading credit on a funded account. Most write-ups stop at the headline figure. The more useful question, and the one that decides whether the offer is worth anything to you, is what happens at the cashier: how you fund the account, when the credit lands, and what the bonus does to your balance the day you decide to take money out.
Credit In, Cash Out: The Distinction That Governs Everything
The deposit bonus is credit, not cash. That single fact shapes every payment decision that follows. The credit enlarges the margin available in the account and absorbs losses only after your own capital is exhausted. It cannot be withdrawn. Profits you make while the credit is active are withdrawable normally, so the money you generate is yours in the ordinary way — but the credit itself is a cushion the broker lends to your margin, not a transferable balance.
Read that alongside the 100% matching rate and the arithmetic becomes clear. Every dollar you deposit is matched by a dollar of credit, up to the $5,000 ceiling. To reach the full cap you would need to deposit the same amount in real funds, because a 100% match cannot exceed the deposit that triggers it. Deposit less and you get less credit, in exact proportion. There is no partial-match tier in play here: the ratio is one to one until the cap stops it.
Funding Minimums and Where They Come From
Two different minimums get confused in discussions of this broker's promotions, and separating them saves a lot of frustration.
The first is the funding step for the sign-up bonus. You enter the code, verify the account, and then fund the account you want the bonus attached to. The bonus is calculated from that deposit, so the deposit is the input and the credit is the output.
The second is the deposit minimum inside the Refer-a-Friend programme, which is a separate mechanism. There, the referee has to fund to a stated minimum and then trade a stated volume before any cash reward is released to either side. Crucially, the deposit minimum and the reward tier are linked, so the advertised headline reward is the top of a range rather than the typical outcome. A smaller qualifying deposit sits lower in that range. The exact figures are set by the broker and vary, so check the terms attached to your own account rather than assuming a number you read elsewhere applies.
Which Payment Methods Qualify
Promotional terms at brokers are written against the deposit event, not the payment rail, but the rail still matters for timing and for refunds. Rather than assume, confirm the following in the cashier area of the client portal before you move money:
Whether the method you plan to use is listed as eligible for the promotion, and not merely available for funding
Whether deposits in a currency other than the account's base currency are converted at deposit time, and who bears the conversion cost
Whether the method carries a processing delay that would put the deposit outside a promotional window
Whether the same method is available for withdrawal, since many providers require funds to return by the route they arrived
Whether any deposit fee is charged, because a fee reduces the amount that actually lands and therefore the credit it generates
That last point is worth sitting with. If a method deducts anything in transit, the bonus is matched against what arrives, not what you sent. On a 100% match, every unit lost in processing costs you two — one of your own and one of credit.
Verification Comes Before Funding, Not After
Promotions are not applied to unverified accounts. This is the single most common way people lose the benefit of a code: they register, deposit immediately because the cashier lets them, and only then submit identity documents. If the promotion attaches at the point of deposit and the account is not yet verified, the credit has nothing to attach to.
The safe sequence is therefore fixed. Register with the code entered in the promo or referral field, or opt into the promotion from the promotions area of the portal. Complete identity verification. Only then fund the account. Before placing a single trade, confirm the credit appears as a distinct credit line in the account — separate from your cash balance. If you cannot see that line, the bonus is not active, and trading before you resolve it complicates matters considerably.
What Happens When You Withdraw
Because the credit sits alongside your cash rather than inside it, a withdrawal touches your own funds first. The practical effects to plan for:
Decide the amount you want out, and check it against your cash balance rather than the total figure shown including credit.
Recalculate your free margin as it would look after the withdrawal, remembering that credit supports margin but is not cash you can remove.
Check whether withdrawing reduces or removes the credit, since a bonus sized to a deposit is commonly adjusted when that deposit is pulled back out.
Submit the withdrawal through the method the account permits, allowing for the processing time that method carries.
Confirm afterwards that the credit line still reads the way you expected, and that open positions are still comfortably margined.
The failure mode here is not exotic. It is a trader who mentally counts credit as capital, opens positions sized against the combined figure, then withdraws cash and finds the margin buffer thinner than expected. Treat the credit as a cushion, not as capital to trade larger with, and the withdrawal side stays uneventful.
Refer-a-Friend Money Moves Differently
If you also use the Refer-a-Friend programme, note that the payout mechanics are not the same. Those rewards are cash bonuses rather than non-withdrawable credit, with the referrer receiving the larger share and the referee a smaller one. Cash is the better currency of the two, but it is harder to earn.
The referee has to clear three gates before anything is credited: open and verify a live account, fund it to a stated minimum, and trade a stated volume in qualifying instruments — typically 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. So the cash arrives on the broker's schedule, not on the day the friend deposits.
Reward amounts are also tiered by the referee's country, with markets grouped into tiers and noticeably lower payments for lower tiers. And there is a headcount cap on rewarded referrals; beyond it, neither side earns anything from further introductions. None of that changes your deposit bonus, but it does mean you should not plan cash flow around referral payouts.
Codes, Links and Double-Counting
One routing decision has to be made before you fund anything. A partner or introducing broker link is a separate commercial arrangement in which the partner earns ongoing commission on your trading volume. 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. If you arrive through a partner link and then try to apply a referral code, one of the two will normally be disregarded.
Choose the route before you register. Once an account exists and money has moved into it, unwinding the attribution is rarely straightforward.
Region Decides What You Can Actually Claim
PU Prime 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 holding your account depends on where you live, and that entity determines whether a promotion is offered at all, along with eligibility and reward tiers. A bonus that is live for one entity may simply not exist for another.
So the first payment-related step is not a payment at all. It is opening the promotion terms for your own country of residence and checking that the offer is available to you, what deposit it applies to, and which funding methods it recognises. Everything downstream — the credit line, the margin buffer, the withdrawal behaviour — follows from that.
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.
