New broker’s Merdeka Lucky Draw creates trading frenzy as partners and traders flood social media with support
SANTA LUCIA – August 4, 2025 – Just months after launching, Versus Trade is making its first major splash in Malaysia with a $3,000 “Gold Celebration Merdeka” lucky draw that’s already generating massive buzz across trading communities.
The month-long contest, running through August 31, celebrates Malaysia’s Independence Day with a twist – every XAUUSD lot traded earns participants tickets for cash prizes, with no limit on entries per trader.
“We’re not just entering the Malaysian market – we’re celebrating it,” said Fazrin Mohd, Business Development Director Malaysia in Versus Trade. “Merdeka represents independence and freedom, which perfectly aligns with what we offer traders – freedom from hidden fees, platform crashes, and poor execution.”

Simple Rules, Big Rewards
The contest mechanics are deliberately straightforward: trade 1 lot of XAUUSD, get 1 ticket. Trade 10 lots, get 10 tickets. The more you trade, the better your odds of winning from the $3,000 prize pool.
Winners will be selected randomly, with prizes ranging from $500 for first place down to $45 for twentieth place. The structure ensures 30 total winners across five prize tiers.
Partner and Trader Support Goes Viral
What started as a simple contest announcement has evolved into a social media phenomenon, with Versus Trade’s introducing broker partners creating and sharing promotional videos across platforms.
This grassroots enthusiasm reflects Versus Trade’s unique approach to partner relationships, offering immediate Platinum-level access through their “High Five” IB program in 2025.
Honoring Malaysia’s Spirit of Freedom
August 31st marks Malaysia’s Merdeka Day – a powerful reminder of 1957 when an entire nation chose independence and self-determination over colonial rule. The courage of that moment continues to inspire generations of Malaysians who value freedom, prosperity, and the right to control their own destiny.
This contest celebrates that same spirit of independence. Just as Malaysia broke free from limitations imposed by others, modern traders deserve freedom from the restrictions that traditional trading sometimes brings.
The gold focus feels particularly meaningful during Merdeka celebrations, as gold has always represented prosperity and security in Malaysian culture. By combining Malaysia’s independence celebration with gold trading opportunities, the contest honors both the nation’s heritage and its people’s entrepreneurial spirit.
Prize Structure
Contest rules specify one prize per client, with higher-ranking prizes taking precedence for multiple selections. The contest runs through August 31, 2025, with winners announced shortly after.
