4.3. Eligible Clients shall only receive the Bitcoin Reward under the Campaign not more than once. Where an Eligible Client holds, opens, or is reasonably believed by us to control or be linked to, more than one Pepperstone Crypto Account, all such accounts are treated as belonging to a single Eligible Client for the purposes of this Campaign, and only one Bitcoin Reward will be paid in respect of that single Eligible Client.

5.3. There is no minimum trade size or amount required for a trade to qualify as a Qualifying Trade.
