How does eToro select users for the stock trading beta

Hi,
Thanks for reading. I’m interested in using eToro to trade stocks (I know they are technically CFDs) due to the leverage offered however the website has an opaque message saying that stock trading is in beta and only available to “select users”.

Does anyone know what methodology eToro used to invite/accept a user into the beta? Or if there is a waitlist or something like that? I tried e-mailing their customer service department but I’ve heard they are notoriously bad at responding quickly, so I was curious if anyone here might know what’s up.

voyager7788 eToro usually does the selection based on the user's trading history and account equity size. They currently don't have any pages or links where you can sign-up to be added on the waiting list for the stock beta so better check your inbox regularly because they usually send these kinds of invites via email. Of course, be sure to check if its a legit @etoro.com email address.

voyager7788 I tried looking for that as well but no luck, sorry. A friend of mine got invited and his equity is way higher than mine. They only send invites to selected users and there's no opt-me-in form on their website.

I got an invite. Probably because I've been an active user for 2 years now.
