The XS × FX Textbook Amazon gift card campaign (JPY 50,000 deposit + 1 lot) ended on 14 September. From 15 September it is replaced by new campaigns at XS and Axi with a simpler condition: open your first account with the broker and close one trade of 0.01 lot or more (first 30 applicants per broker, until 30 September; updated 15 September). If you plan to deposit or trade, checking the earliest deadlines first avoids missing out.
Closing 17 to 19 September: HFM 100% and three XS campaigns
HFM 100% deposit bonus (until 17 September 23:59 JST)
The first deposit or transfer into a Top-Up Bonus account during the period qualifies, capped at JPY 45,000. Deposits made before verification is complete are excluded, and a single deposit never receives both the 100% and the standing 20%. The bonus cannot be withdrawn and is removed in proportion to any withdrawal.

XS X follow and repost campaign (until 17 September 23:59 JST)
Repost the post by XS's regional director (@fx_xsJames) and follow both @fx_xsJames and @XScom_info to enter a draw for a JPY 10,000 Amazon gift card. The number of winners rises with the repost count, up to 30. Opening an XS account or depositing is not a condition.
XS and Axi × FX Textbook JPY 5,000 Amazon gift card (until 30 September 23:59 JST, first 30 per broker)
This site's own campaign, started on 15 September. Open your first XS or Axi live account through this site's dedicated link and close at least one trade of 0.01 lot or more on that account during the period to receive a JPY 5,000 Amazon gift card (e-mail code), limited to the first 30 eligible applicants per broker. There is no deposit-amount condition; apply through the site's official LINE account. Anyone who already has or previously had an account with the broker is not eligible, and the re-registration route of the previous campaign (1-14 September, JPY 50,000 deposit + 1 lot) no longer applies. At XS the gift card can be combined with the official JPY 5,000 welcome credit.

XS real trading contest (entry until 19 September 05:59 JST)
The contest runs from 14 September 06:00 to 26 September 05:59 JST. Entering opens a dedicated Standard account (MT5, JPY). Deposit JPY 30,000 or more and trade to compete in three categories (ROI, PNL and closed lots), with the top 15 in each plus the top 5 VIP members in each, 60 winners in total, sharing JPY 10 million in cash. Entry closes before the contest ends, so the account and deposit must be in place first.
Closing late September to early October: HFM, DecodeFX, Axi and MEXC
HFM Gold Mission (until 25 September 23:59 JST)
Trading a combined 70 standard lots or more on eligible gold symbols (XAUUSD, XAUUSDb, XAUUSDr, XAUUSDx, XAUUSDc) during the period enters the Prize B draw (JPY 160,000 x 40), and 150 standard lots or more the Prize A draw (JPY 400,000 x 10). Only trades after opting in count, and only positions held for two minutes or longer. Lot conversion differs by account (Pro and Zero 0.4, KATANA 0.2, Cent 1/100).
DecodeFX LINE-exclusive autumn cashback (until 30 September 23:59 server time)
Apply with the campaign code distributed on DecodeFX's official LINE, then make a net deposit of USD 350 or more and trade at least 1 lot in forex or metals during the period to receive USD 1 to 3 cashback per lot depending on the tier reached. The deadline is in MT4/MT5 server time, which is 1 October 05:59 JST.
Axi 25% cushioning deposit bonus JP25Axi (until 1 October 08:59 JST)
Apply the promotion code JP25Axi in the client portal, make a first deposit of USD 125 or more and place at least one trade during the period to receive 25% of the deposit (up to USD 500 per person) as trading credit. The credit cannot be withdrawn and is cancelled if you withdraw or transfer between accounts during the period. The offer is for residents of Japan.
MEXC Autumn Harvest deposit event (until 4 October 23:59, crypto exchange)
MEXC is a crypto exchange rather than a forex broker, but it is included here as a listed offer. Register on the event page, complete advanced KYC and make net deposits to the futures account: new users receive a 50 USDT airdrop at USD 100 plus up to 2,000 USDT in tiered futures bonus, existing users up to 1,000 USDT. The deadline is the time shown on the official page, with no time zone stated.
Running to year end, and standing bonuses with no deadline
INFINOX's 20% deposit credit bonus runs until 31 December. Apply from the client area, and once a deposit into an eligible account is approved, 20% of it (up to USD 20,000 cumulative) is credited as trading-only credit.
Standing bonuses with no end date are offered by the brokers below. In every case the credit itself cannot be withdrawn, and eligible accounts, withdrawal rules and expiry conditions differ by offer.
- HFM: Top-Up Bonus account 20% deposit bonus (up to USD 5,000 in total) and Bonus Hunter (JPY 45,000 in trading funds, no deposit)
- XS: JPY 5,000 welcome bonus on verification and JPY 10,000 first deposit bonus (first deposit of JPY 20,000 or more)
- Vantage Trading: registration bonus of up to JPY 15,000 and the 120/100% + 50% + 20% deposit bonus
- Monaxa: Lifetime Bonus (30% of deposits, up to USD 6,000 cumulative) and Welcome Bonus (USD 50 for a USD 25 deposit)
Three things to check before a deadline
- Most offers require completed verification. HFM's 100% excludes deposits made before verification, and Bonus Hunter requires the account to be opened within 30 days of verification
- Opt in or apply the code before depositing or trading. HFM's Gold Mission does not count trades before opting in, Axi requires the code for the credit, and DecodeFX requires the LINE code application
- Check the deadline time and time zone in each broker's wording. DecodeFX uses server time, MEXC states no time zone, and the XS contest entry closes at 05:59 JST
Offers based on volume or deposit size increase your losses if you trade more just to meet the condition. FX and CFDs can lose part or all of your funds, and prize draws do not guarantee a prize even when the condition is met. Base your trade size on what your own funds can sustain.
Frequently asked questions
Q. Which forex campaign has the nearest deadline in September 2026?
A. As of 15 September, HFM's 100% deposit bonus and XS's X follow-and-repost campaign both close on 17 September 23:59 JST. Entry to the XS real trading contest closes on 19 September 05:59 JST, HFM's Gold Mission on 25 September 23:59 JST, and the XS and Axi × FX Textbook new-account Amazon gift card campaigns on 30 September 23:59 JST (or earlier once 30 applications per broker are received).
Q. Are there campaigns that need no account or deposit?
A. XS's X follow-and-repost campaign (until 17 September) only requires reposting the specified post and following two accounts; no account or deposit is needed. HFM's Bonus Hunter requires verification but no deposit, crediting JPY 45,000 in trading funds.
Q. Are the deadlines in Japan time?
A. It depends on the offer. HFM, XS, Axi and INFINOX are listed in JST. DecodeFX's autumn cashback ends at 30 September 23:59 MT4/MT5 server time (1 October 05:59 JST), and MEXC shows a time with no time zone stated.
Q. Which forex bonuses continue into October and beyond?
A. Axi's 25% cushioning deposit bonus runs until 1 October 08:59 JST, MEXC's deposit event until 4 October, and INFINOX's 20% deposit credit until 31 December. The standing bonuses at HFM, XS, Vantage and Monaxa continue until each broker ends or changes them.
Q. Can I join campaigns at several brokers at the same time?
A. We found no terms forbidding participation across brokers, but every broker treats hedging across internal or external accounts and arbitrage as grounds for removing a bonus. Read each offer's terms and do not increase your trade size just to meet a condition.
