# Trading Bonus

A trading bonus is promotional `evUSD` for trying the Everstrike Mainnet without depositing your own capital.

Use a trading bonus for testing. Trading profits made with the bonus are fully withdrawable.

### Restrictions

A trading bonus cannot be used for:

* Spot trading
* Withdrawals
* Redemptions
* Conversion into other assets

### Fair use

Do not farm trading bonuses through dozens or hundreds of related accounts.

Everstrike may blacklist accounts that breach this rule from CEX mode. Those users can still use Everstrike in DEX mode.
