Every eligible lot, priced, checked, released.
Forex cashback on LotsBack is a share of the spread or commission you already pay your broker. It comes back per eligible lot, once the broker verifies it. It is priced when your position closes and released once your broker’s report agrees.
Cashback is an estimate until your broker confirms the week and it is paid. Cashback terms.

Verification and timing.
One week, one payout run- 01
A position closes
Within minutes the lot is priced at your broker's rate and appears as Estimated · provisional.
- 02
The week closes
Every line from that week moves to Verifying with broker. A week runs Monday to Sunday, UTC.
- 03
The broker report is matched
The broker's own report is checked line by line, usually within a few business days. A match becomes Verified; anything else a person reviews.
- 04
The week is approved and released
A second person approves the week, and a release step moves the lines to Available.
- 05
You request a payout
The amount is set aside as Reserved, oldest lines first.
- 06
The payout run executes
One payout run a week. The line goes to Processing payout, then Paid, with a receipt and a transaction hash.
What LotsBack does not do.
Hold your trading money
Your balance stays with your broker. LotsBack never holds trading capital.
Place or close a trade for you
Read-only: we read closed positions and cannot open, change or close anything.
Change your wallet address
Only you can add a payout address, and a new one waits out a cooling period.
Promise an outcome
Cashback lowers your trading costs. It does not lower risk or cancel out a loss.
Pay on an unverified line
Nothing is released until your broker's own report agrees. A person reviews anything that does not match.
Charge you a fee
Brokers pay LotsBack for the volume we introduce. We share part of that with you. There is no subscription and no LotsBack fee. The network fee on a payout is set by the network and taken from the amount you receive.
