XTB UK Free Share Promotion 2025: Get a Free Rolls-Royce Stock
XTB has launched a new Free Stock promotion for UK investors, offering one free share of Rolls-Royce (LSE:RR) to new clients who open and fund an account between 13th October and 30th November 2025, subject to limited availability.
What You'll Receive
Unlike lottery-based promotions where you might receive a low-value stock, XTB's UK offer is transparent. Every eligible customer receives one full share of Rolls-Royce Holdings plc (ticker: RR.L, LSE). Rolls-Royce is a British multinational aerospace and defence company, known for manufacturing aircraft engines, power systems, and other engineering products. The actual value you receive will depend on the stock price when the share is credited to your account.
How We Evaluated This Promotion
When we assess broker promotions, we look beyond the headline value. XTB's offer stands out because there's no minimum deposit requirement, no trading volume obligations. This makes it one of the most accessible welcome bonuses we've reviewed.
The promotion also comes with XTB's standard benefits: commission-free trading on stocks and ETFs up to €100,000 monthly volume, access to over 6,000 instruments, and 4.25% annual interest on uninvested GBP funds (variable rate, subject to change). For UK investors testing a new platform, this combination of immediate value plus ongoing fee advantages is attractive.
Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for the free Rolls-Royce share, you must meet these specific criteria based on our review of the terms and conditions:
You must be a new XTB client who has never previously held an account with XTB. Existing customers and those who have closed accounts are not eligible. The promotion is exclusively available to UK residents who register using the dedicated bonus link.
Registration must occur on or after 13th October 2025. You'll need to complete identity verification with a valid passport or national ID card plus proof of address. Most importantly, you must accept the Free Stock promotion terms during the registration process and enter the promo code MATCH when prompted. Missing either of these steps means you won't receive the bonus, even if you otherwise qualify.
The offer runs until 30th November 2025 with limited availability. XTB may close the promotion earlier if the allocation limit is reached.
Step-by-Step: How to Claim Your Free Share
We've broken down the claiming process into clear, actionable steps based on the official terms and our analysis of the registration flow.
Step 1: Register Through the Correct Link
Visit link to access the UK-specific promotion page.
The critical step many users miss is accepting the Free Stock promotion terms and conditions during signup. Look for a specific checkbox about the Rolls-Royce share promotion and ensure you read and tick it before proceeding.
Step 2: Complete Identity Verification
XTB requires standard know-your-customer documentation. You'll need to upload a valid government-issued ID (passport or national ID card) and a recent proof of address document dated within the last three months. Acceptable proof of address includes utility bills, bank statements, or council tax bills.
Verification typically completes within the same day if you submit clear, valid documents. Once approved, you'll receive email confirmation that your account is active.
Step 3: Make Your First Deposit
Here's where XTB's offer becomes particularly attractive: there is no minimum deposit requirement. You can deposit any amount you're comfortable with. The free Rolls-Royce share is not contingent on your deposit size.
Available deposit methods include bank transfer, debit card, and credit card. Card deposits are instant, while bank transfers from UK accounts typically clear within one business day. All deposit methods are free of charge.
Step 4: Receive Your Free Share
Within three business days of your deposit being credited, XTB will automatically add one Rolls-Royce share to your account. You'll receive email confirmation when this happens. The share will appear in your GBP base currency account, not in any secondary accounts or ISA if you open one later.
XTB Platform Overview for New Customers
Since you'll be opening an account to claim this promotion, it's worth understanding what XTB offers beyond the welcome bonus.
XTB provides access to over 6,000 stocks and ETFs from 14 global exchanges, including the London Stock Exchange, NYSE, and Deutsche Börse. The platform charges 0% commission on stocks and ETFs until you reach €100,000 in monthly trading volume. After this threshold, a 0.2% commission applies with a minimum charge of £10 per trade.
The xStation 5 trading platform is XTB's proprietary software, available on desktop, web browser, and mobile apps. When we tested the platform, we found it suitable for both beginners and experienced traders, offering real-time market data, advanced charting tools, and a clean interface that doesn't overwhelm new users.
One feature we particularly appreciate is fractional share investing. You can invest as little as £10 in expensive stocks, making it easier to build a diversified portfolio with limited capital. XTB also pays 4.25% AER on uninvested GBP funds (variable rate, subject to change), which is competitive compared to traditional savings accounts.
For UK customers concerned about safety, XTB Limited is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) with registration number 522157. Client funds are held in segregated accounts and protected up to £85,000 per person under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to receive the free Rolls-Royce share after depositing?
XTB adds the free Rolls-Royce share to your account within three business days after your deposit is credited. You'll receive email confirmation when the share has been added to your portfolio. Most customers report receiving their shares within 1-2 business days in practice.
Can I participate if I closed my XTB account years ago?
No. The promotion is exclusively for new clients who have never previously held an XTB account. If you opened and closed an account in the past, you are not eligible for this welcome bonus, regardless of how long ago that was.
Does the free share count toward my capital gains tax allowance if I don't sell it?
No. Simply receiving and holding the free share does not create a taxable event. Capital gains tax only applies when you sell the share at a profit. The gain is calculated as the difference between the share's value when you received it and the price when you sell it.
Does XTB charge any fees for holding the free Rolls-Royce share?
XTB charges no custody fees for portfolios up to €250,000. The Rolls-Royce share will sit in your account fee-free. The only ongoing fee to be aware of is a £10 monthly inactivity fee if you make no trades for 365 consecutive days. Making even a single small trade per year avoids this fee entirely.
Will I receive dividends if Rolls-Royce pays them while I hold the share?
Yes. If you hold the Rolls-Royce share on the dividend record date and Rolls-Royce declares a dividend, you will receive the dividend payment just like any other shareholder. Any dividends received would be subject to UK dividend tax rules.
