Opened an account with AvaTrade last week.

After making the deposit, I was sent and email saying "Claim your Bonus
In order to claim your bonus you will need to verify your account. Please do so within 14 days of your first deposit" which I did.

Today, I enquired via the online chat on how to claim my bonus, I was given some this excuse "As an European Client, you cannot receive bonuses anymore, according to the new ESMA Regulation" seems like an easy way out of not honouring your emails!

To top this off, the online attendant was rude and unhelpful!

Seriously considering closing this account when my positions close!
