FAQS

1. How can I claim my rewards?

● Once your deposit settles and meets the promotion criteria, we'll send you an in-app notification. Then you can go to the "Welcome Bonus" page on the moomoo app and tap the "Draw" button on the page to claim your rewards (You can go to the event page via "Me" - "Promotions" - "Welcome Bonus". If you didn't receive the in-app notification or any opportunities to draw within five business days after you met the promotion criteria, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service);

● Tap "Draw" to draw a free stock. If you have multiple opportunities, you can continue to draw until you use them up, and you need to finish the "Draw" within the promotion period.

● Within 5 business days of a successful draw, your free stock will be added to your account as "Pending" or "Frozen". You can check it at the bottom of the "Brokerage Account" page in "Trade".

 

2. How does moomoo choose your free stock in the draw?

Your free stock is chosen randomly according to a specific probability distribution, so you may not receive the same stock as others. There is approximately a 99.559% chance of getting a share of stock worth $2-$9.99, a 0.42% chance of getting a share of stock worth $10-$99.99, and a 0.021% chance of getting a share of stock worth $100 or more.

*Probability may vary with stock price fluctuations. Moomoo Financial Inc. reserves the right to adjust the incentive program parameters at its discretion.

 

3. When will my free stocks be available for trading?

Step 1: Meet the promotion criteria. After you successfully draw free stocks during the promotion period, then maintain the average asset balance for 60 days, your free stocks will get unlocked automatically. (Attention: if you withdraw assets during the bonus freezing period resulting in your account equity falling below the bonus threshold, you will not be able to claim the stocks. If you have not withdrawn any assets during the freeze period, but your assets have decreased by less than the bonus threshold due to trading or price fluctuations in the market, you can contact customer service for help.)

Step 2: Within 5 trading days following the conclusion of the 60-day waiting period, your stocks will be added to your account and available for trading.

 

4. Where can I check my daily net assets data?

You can view your assets via "Accounts > Total Assets > Assets Trend" to get an approximate assessment of your average daily assets.

 

5. How does moomoo calculate your average assets?

Your average daily assets will be calculated beginning the day after you draw and receive your free stocks.

For example, if you draw and receive your free stock on October 21, the average assets, for purposes of this promotion, will be calculated from October 22,

October 22: $200

October 23: $300

October 24: $500

December 21:$15,000

60-days average assets = $(200+300+500+……+15,000)/60

 

6. Do I have to make a lump-sum deposit to meet the deposit criteria and get my bonus?

No. Moomoo does not impose limits on the amount of money that you can deposit in a single transaction. If you successfully make an initial deposit during the promotion period and your average asset balance meets the promotion criteria, you will be eligible for the bonus.

 

7. What is the Cash Sweep Program?

Cash Sweep Program is a cash management program provided by Moomoo Financial Inc. This program is only open to US securities accounts under Moomoo Financial Inc. Uninvested cash is automatically swept to the bank(s) through this program and is eligible to earn interest.

When the cash purchasing power of the securities account is negative, the uninvested cash will be automatically redeemed from the bank(s) to the securities account before the transactions are settled to avoid the payment of financing interest. When the cash is positive, it will be automatically deposited in the bank(s) at 2pm EST of each trading day to earn interest.

More information can be found in the full MFI Cash Sweep Program Terms and Conditions.

The sweep program (1) allows an investor to earn a rate of interest on free cash that is higher than the rate offered for cash held in a brokerage account and (2) banks in the program offer insurance on such cash that is higher than that available for an SIPC-covered account.

The uninvested cash swept to program banks is eligible for FDIC insurance up to $1 million. or $250,000 per program bank, inclusive of any other deposits you may already hold at the bank in the same ownership capacity, which may impact how much is covered. You are responsible for monitoring the total amount of deposits that you have with each Program Bank, in order to determine the extent of FDIC deposit insurance coverage available to you.

Please note that until funds are swept to a program bank, they are held in your brokerage account which is protected by SIPC. Once funds are swept, they are no longer held in your brokerage account and are not protected by SIPC. However, these funds are eligible for FDIC insurance through the Program Banks subject to FDIC insurance coverage limits.

 

8. Can I participate in two first-deposit promotions at the same time?

Sorry, new user promotions cannot be stacked. And the eligibility for new user promotions varies. Please check the T&C for specific promotions.

The system will determine which new user promotion you are participating in based on your registration channel, and you can only participate in each new user promotion once. Each device can only be entitled to one set of deposit bonuses for one account.

Whether other types of promotions can be stacked is subject to the T&Cs of the specific activity.
