Multi-Level Sub-IB SupportAdmirals offers a multi-level partnership structure, enabling IBs to build sub-affiliate networks for compounded revenue generation.
Considerations	Proprietary Platform FocusWhile MT4 is mentioned, XTB heavily promotes its proprietary xStation platform, which may require additional education for clients accustomed to standard platforms. Variable SpreadsThe broker operates with variable spreads, which can widen significantly during periods of low liquidity or high market volatility. Inactivity FeesClients are subject to a monthly inactivity fee of 10 EUR/GBP if no trades are executed within 365 days and no deposits are made within 90 days.	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.
