Trick or Treat Free Share Draw

FAQs

Refer a friend between 23 and 31 October 2025, and on top of the usual £10-£100 free share, you’ll go into the draw to get a Trick (no prize 👻), or a Treat (a bonus free share 🎁).

Successful referrals will get a free share worth between £10 and £100 under our usual referral offer terms, and the Treat (if you win) will be a bonus share worth between £15 and £20. 

You have a 50% chance of winning a Treat bonus share!

How it works

1. Your friend signs up to Freetrade using your referral link between 23 October and 31 October 2025.
2. They complete and pass our customer onboarding checks, fill out a W-8BEN form and fund their account with at least £50 (net) by 11 November 2025 at 11:59 PM at the latest.
3. You and your friend will each see a single pending free share. This is your £10-£100 free share, and it will usually be awarded 7-10 days after your friend qualifies.
4. We will draw and award the bonus Treat shares (worth £15 to £20) on 14 November 2025.

Important

• To be eligible for a free share as a Sender, both you and your friend must fund your Freetrade account with at least £50 (net) by 11 November 2025 at 11:59 PM. Net funding is calculated as total deposits minus total withdrawals.  Withdrawing the proceeds of free shares will count towards your withdrawals. If your and/or your friend’s funding falls below £50 (net) by 14 November 2025, you won’t receive an entry into the prize draw.
• If the Recipient withdraws from their account, causing it to fall below £50 net funding before the £10-£100 free share is awarded, the referral will be deemed unsuccessful, and neither of you will qualify for the £10-100 free share. If the Recipient withdraws and their funding falls below £50 (net) by 14 November 2025, neither Sender or Recipient will receive an entry into the prize draw.
• There is a 50/50 chance of getting a bonus free share. All customers (Senders and Recipients) who made a qualifying referral during the campaign will be pooled together on 14 November 2025, and 50% of the pool will receive a Treat bonus share. There’s no guarantee you and/or your friend will receive a Treat - it’s completely randomised.
• If cash proceeds received from the sale of the free shares are withdrawn within 180 calendar days from the date the free share is awarded, we reserve the right to clawback.
• If terms of the offer are completed outside of the campaign dates, the usual Free Share Terms and Conditions apply and you will not qualify for any entry into the prize draw.

Which free shares will I receive?

Qualifying referrals will both earn one £10-£100 free share as per the usual referral offer terms. For full details, see our Free Share page, which covers how to qualify and what kind of free share you will receive.

The probability is weighted, so more expensive shares will be rarer.

For this offer, qualifying referrals will also be added to the Trick or Treat prize draw, whereby 50% of entrants will be randomly selected for a Treat bonus share.

The Treat bonus share will be worth between £15 and £20, and will be selected from a list of US and UK companies, ETFs, and trusts. 

The remaining 50% of entrants will have received a Trick - no bonus share at all.

Why haven’t I received my £10-£100 free share?

If you haven’t received your £10-£100  free share, ensure that your friend has met the qualifying conditions:

1. They used your referral link to open their Freetrade account,
2. They filled a W-8BEN form, and
3.  They topped up with at least £50 (net)

If your friend topped up their account, then withdrew the cash, then, unfortunately, the referral was unsuccessful, and you won’t qualify for a free share. If your friend has withdrawn, it won’t be reflected on your referral tracking, so check with them that they still qualify.

Remember, as the referrer, you’ll also need at least £50 net funding in your account, too.

When will I know if I won a bonus free share?

Once you make a referral, the first £10-£100 free share under our usual referral offer terms will automatically appear as pending in your account, and will usually be awarded 7-10 days later.

The draw for the bonus free shares will happen on 14 November. 

We’ll notify you on the day whether you’ve won a Trick share (no bonus share at all), or a Treat share (a bonus share worth £10-£20).

Can I get multiple entries to the bonus share draw?

You can get up to 10 entries for 10 successful referrals.

‍Do I have to pay taxes on free shares?

The entire value of the share when sold is subject to capital gains tax. You can check the value of each share when issued and/or sold on your portfolio screen.

Tax depends on your personal circumstances and rules can change. If you are unsure about any tax implications, seek advice from a tax professional.
