Partnership analysis
Key Advantages	Strong Regulatory FrameworkFBS holds licenses from both CySEC and the FSC Belize, providing a regulated environment for both European and global clients. Extensive Asset SelectionPartners can market over 550 tradable instruments, including Forex, indices, commodities, and stocks. High Leverage OptionsThe global entity offers maximum leverage up to 1:3000, which can be a strong acquisition tool for specific trader demographics.	Extensive Asset OfferingPartners can market over 8,000 tradable instruments, including Forex, stocks, ETFs, and crypto CFDs, appealing to a broad demographic of traders. Flexible Compensation ModelsThe program supports Revenue Share (up to 50%), CPA, and Hybrid models, allowing IBs to tailor their earning structure to their traffic type. Multi-Level Sub-IB SupportAdmirals offers a multi-level partnership structure, enabling IBs to build sub-affiliate networks for compounded revenue generation.
Considerations	Undisclosed Commission RatesThe official documentation does not publicly disclose specific CPA or revenue share tiers, requiring direct negotiation. Regional Leverage RestrictionsEuropean clients onboarded under the CySEC entity are strictly limited to 1:30 leverage for retail accounts. Limited Platform DiversityWhile offering the industry-standard MT4 and MT5, the broker lacks alternative third-party platforms like cTrader or TradingView.	Strict CPA Requirements In EuropeCPA models for EU and UK traffic are restricted exclusively to licensed partners, limiting options for standard affiliates in these regions. Low Maximum LeverageThe maximum leverage is capped at 1:30, which may deter high-risk traders seeking higher margin capabilities. Specific Regional RestrictionsThe broker explicitly restricts its services to residents of Belgium and the Czech Republic, narrowing the addressable market in Europe.
