IQ Option currently runs two promo codes for accounts opened from Pakistan, IQWELCOME and 2026IQ, and both add money on top of your first deposit.
A code only attaches to an account opened through a link that carries it, and every account includes a replenishable $10,000 demo balance.
The two codes are not interchangeable. IQWELCOME is bigger in dollar terms and gives you a month to trade through the wagering, but it only works on a brand new account and it expires about ten days after you register. 2026IQ is smaller, gives you a week, and is the only one of the two that works if you already have an account with IQ Option. Both were checked against IQ Option's live deposit screens in September 2026.
A code also has to be attached at registration. If you already have an account, you cannot add IQWELCOME or 2026IQ to it after the fact.
| Code | Match | Min deposit | Max bonus | Wagering | Window | Who can use it | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IQWELCOME | Tiered, up to 100% | PRs 3,000 | $2,000 | 40× bonus | 30 days | New accounts only | ~10 days after registration |
| 2026IQ | Flat 100% | PRs 3,000 | $1,000 | 40× bonus | 7 days | New and existing accounts | 31 December 2026 |
If you already have an account, IQWELCOME is off the table since it only applies to new registrations. If you're opening a new account and plan to deposit less than PRs 75,000, check the tier table below before deciding. IQWELCOME's percentage at smaller deposits can land under or over 2026IQ's flat 100% depending on exactly how much you put in. If you're depositing a larger amount, weigh the 7 day window on 2026IQ against the 30 day window on IQWELCOME. A week is not much time to generate 40 times a large bonus in turnover.
The name suggests a straight 100% match, but that's only true at the top of the ladder. A PRs 3,000 deposit gets 50%, not 100%. The percentage rises in steps as the deposit gets bigger, and it takes a PRs 75,000 deposit to reach the full 100%. This table comes from IQ Option's live deposit screens, checked in August 2026.
| Deposit (PRs) | Match |
|---|---|
| PRs 3,000 | 50% |
| PRs 6,000 | 70% |
| PRs 9,000 | 80% |
| PRs 15,000 | 90% |
| PRs 30,000 | 90% |
| PRs 75,000 | 100% |
| PRs 150,000 | 100% |
| PRs 300,000 | 100% |
Two things to notice. First, 90% shows up twice, at PRs 15,000 and PRs 30,000, so there's no reason to jump straight from 15,000 to 30,000 if the extra money isn't already sitting there. Second, 100% also repeats at PRs 75,000, 150,000 and 300,000, meaning the match rate stops improving well before the deposit does. The bonus is still capped at $2,000 overall, so beyond a certain deposit size a bigger payment stops buying you a bigger bonus.
Bonus thresholds are set in US dollars internally and converted to PKR at whatever rate applies on the day you apply the code. The PRs figures above will drift a little as the exchange rate moves.
The code has to be attached before you deposit, and the registration link matters more than the code field itself.
The auto-display versus manual-entry split trips people up more than anything else in this process. Skrill, Neteller, Volet and crypto deposits show the tiered code on the deposit screen without you doing anything. Mastercard and Visa do not show it at all, so on those two you type the code in yourself, and you need to clear whatever is already sitting in that field first.
Both codes require 40 times the bonus amount in trading turnover before the bonus, or any profit made with it, becomes withdrawable. A PRs 4,200 bonus needs PRs 168,000 of qualifying turnover. The difference between the two codes is how long you get to hit that number: 30 days on IQWELCOME, 7 days on 2026IQ.
Worked example. Deposit PRs 6,000 with IQWELCOME and you land in the 70% tier, so the bonus is PRs 4,200. Multiply by 40 and the wagering requirement is PRs 168,000, spread over 30 days, which works out to roughly PRs 5,600 a day. Deposit the same PRs 6,000 with 2026IQ and the bonus is the full 100%, or PRs 6,000. Forty times that is PRs 240,000, but you only have 7 days, which is about PRs 34,285 a day, six times the daily pace IQWELCOME asks for.

The dollar caps are converted at roughly 300 PKR to the dollar. The exact PKR figure depends on the exchange rate on the day you apply the code.
If your trading is mostly CFDs, the wagering requirement is a lot harder to clear, since none of that volume counts. Digital, binary and Blitz options are the only three trade types IQ Option credits toward the 40× requirement.
If digital, binary or Blitz options are already most of what you trade, the bonus is close to free money. Your normal trading volume does the wagering for you, so 40× the bonus stops being a hurdle and just becomes a side effect of trading the way you already do.
If you mostly trade CFDs on forex, stocks or crypto, skip it. None of that volume counts toward wagering, which means you would need to open a whole separate stream of digital or binary trades just to clear the requirement. That's trading you weren't planning to do, purely to unlock money that was supposed to be a bonus.
Skip the bonus if you might need to pull money out on short notice. The block covers the entire account balance while any bonus is active, including your own deposit. If there's a real chance you'll need that money back before the wagering window closes, taking the code ties up funds that were otherwise free to withdraw.
Decided against a bonus for now? The demo section further down lets you trade with $10,000 in virtual funds instead.
Cancelling a bonus, or requesting a withdrawal before the wagering requirement is met, has the same effect either way: you forfeit what's left of the bonus and any profit you made while trading with bonus funds. It is not a partial loss proportional to how far you got.
Worked example. Say you deposit PRs 10,000 and take 2026IQ, which adds a PRs 10,000 bonus. The wagering requirement is 40× that, or PRs 400,000. You trade actively for a few days and reach PRs 150,000 of qualifying turnover, well under halfway, and along the way your account grows by PRs 2,000 in profit. If you request a withdrawal at that point, you don't get to keep a proportional share. You lose the remaining bonus and the PRs 2,000 in profit that came from it. Your original deposit, and any profit made purely with your own real funds, stays yours.
Real funds are spent before bonus funds on every trade, so early in a bonus period your own money is usually still what's at risk. That changes once the real balance runs low and trading starts eating into the bonus itself, which is exactly when forfeiting it starts to cost the most.
Skrill, Mastercard and Visa are the recommended methods. EasyPaisa and JazzCash both work too, each with a QR option, alongside Apple Pay, Google Pay, Neteller and Volet.com. Crypto deposits are also accepted.
Set your account currency to PKR before your first deposit. Depositing in EUR, GBP or USD instead adds a 4% conversion fee on top, and once you make your first deposit the currency is locked, so there's no changing it later if you pick wrong.
EasyPaisa and JazzCash need an 11-digit phone number registered on your IQ Option account, plus a 13-digit CNIC entered on the payment gateway itself. Missing either one is the most common reason those two methods get rejected.
A code only activates through the registration link it's tied to. Paste IQWELCOME into a fresh sign-up that started from a different link, or from no link at all, and it does nothing, even though the code itself is real and currently running.
Coupon aggregator sites make this worse by listing codes long after they've expired, or by copying each other's stale lists without checking. You'll also see codes like WELCOME100, TRIPLE20 or GIMME10 floating around on those sites. These aren't IQ Option offers at all, just junk entries generated to fill out a coupon page.
IQ Option also isn't a retail store, so the percent-off coupon format those sites are built around doesn't map onto how its bonuses actually work. There's no such thing as "20% off" a trading deposit. What exists is a deposit match with a minimum, a maximum, a wagering requirement and a window, which is a different kind of offer than the one most of those sites are designed to list.
