Hi - We regularly review our margin rates to ensure they accurately reflect current levels of market volatility and liquidity, as well as a number of other factors that can influence risk. Given the recent market movements it was decided that we should increase margin to properly reflect the underlying indices. I have included the email below for other community members. 

At 3pm (UK time) on Friday 9 February, our margin rates for existing positions on the following major indices will change to 1%. They'll remain at this level for the weekend, and we'll review the situation on Monday. Full details:

 

Market Current Margin Rate New Margin Rate
Australia 200 0.5% 1%
EU Stocks 50 0.75% 1%
France 40 0.5% 1%
FTSE 100 0.5% 1%
Germany 30 0.5% 1%
Japan 225 (USD) 0.75% 1%
Japan 225 (YEN) 0.75% 1%
Singapore Blue Chip 0.75% 1%
Switzerland Blue Chip 0.75% 1%
US 500 0.5% 1%
US Russell 2000 0.5% 1%
US Tech 100 0.5% 1%
Wall Street 0.5%

1%

 

If you have any open positions in affected markets at 3pm (UK time) on Friday 9 February, the margin required to keep those positions open will rise. You’ll need to have enough money in your account to cover the increase and prevent your positions from being closed out. 

Please note that margin requirements for working orders will also be subject to the new margin rates. Any new positions that you open will already be subject to these changes. 

Changes to margin rates are the same for daily funded bets and futures bets, and for cash and futures CFDs. For full details of how we calculate our margins, please see our website.

 

If anyone has any questions regarding this, please ask below, but remember that I wouldn't be able to assist on the specifics of an account as this is a public forum.

    • The realm of decentralized finance (DeFi) has been buzzing with the rise of innovative solutions designed to optimize user experiences and maximize returns. One such mechanism, liquid staking, allows users to stake their assets while still receiving liquid tokens. Leading platforms such as Lido Finance and Rocket Pool have pioneered this trend, enabling users to earn staking rewards without sacrificing liquidity. Entering this competitive landscape is Swell Network, which offers a fresh perspective. Swell Network is making waves with its innovative protocols aimed at maximizing yield potential for stakeholders. Having secured $3.75 million in a seed funding round, Swell plans to launch its Ethereum layer-2 chain in the second half of 2024. The network is also planning several events like the community campaign, Launchpool, PoolX etc with major centralized exchanges (CEXs) like Bitget and even premarket trading opportunities. The recent 2000x in the span of 3 days have made Swell a token to keep an eye on!  Do you think the combination of these events propelled its recent good price action?
    • It’s interesting that crypto payments, despite how simple they are, still haven’t really become mainstream yet. Services like Bitget Pay are making it easier, though, letting people send and receive money almost instantly with different cryptocurrencies. As more platforms offer various crypto payment options, it’s starting to feel accessible for everyone, whether you’re just experimenting with crypto or actually running a business.   One of the best things about Bitget Pay—and others like it—is that they don’t charge transaction fees, don’t impose restrictions, and even work with Google Pay and Apple Pay. That kind of flexibility really makes crypto payments feel like a practical alternative to traditional methods, especially for those of us who want affordable, convenient, and accessible options.   If more people start using these crypto payment services, we could be looking at a real shift in how we handle money—a move toward a more decentralized and flexible system. Have you ever tried one of these services? It’d be interesting to see how they stack up against traditional payment options and what kind of difference they might make as more people start to use them.
