I deposited 214,360 ARS in the Pocket Option and then I regretted it, I wanted to withdraw it, a message appeared in front of me with a verification email that wouldn't let me enter the broker with a trader who was artificial intelligence and couldn't do anything with the gold.

I think two years ago, I shifted to more stock trading, and Forex I use only when there is a clear breakout. With stocks, it's good because they are easier to predict. You can do a lot of fundamental analysis and combine it with technical aspects. Even though I still don't have huge experince, I already learned some patterns. Here at Pocket Option, it's good to have no-swaps , but at the same time, the stock selection range is not so wide. I would like to see more niche stocks - especially from Basic Materials sector

Pocket Option offers access to a wide range of instruments. I could literally trade whatever I want. Nonetheless, I can’t say something positive about low payout rates on cryptocurrencies. I doesn't know how it works, but I’d like to trade with higher fixed rates. Sometimes volatility disappears from conventional assets, so that’s why having altcoins with higher rates matters to me...

I am a fully verified trader . Since March 19th, 2026, Pocket Option has been withholding my legitimate profits of $12,000.00 USD via Tether TRC-20. Despite exceeding the 3-day standard processing time, the support team only provides evasive and automated responses, claiming a 'queue' that does not exist for blockchain transactions. ACTIONS TAKEN: I have already filed a formal complaint with the Mwali International Services Authority (MISA). Case reported to Forex Peace 。 This is a clear case of withholding funds without technical justification. I will not update or remove this 1-star review until I receive a valid TXID and the funds are visible in my wallet. Be extremely careful if you plan to trade large amounts here; they fail to pay when you win

I want to report a problem with Pocket Option. I deposited about $40,000 on the platform through several card payments. Later my account was suddenly blocked and I could no longer access the platform. Because of this situation I contacted my banks and opened chargeback requests. Part of the payments were returned (about $14,000), including payments processed by UAB Walletto and other acquiring banks. However, several payments processed through Bank of Kigali were not returned. My total losses are still very significant. My Pocket Option account is currently blocked and I cannot use the service or access the platform. I request Pocket Option to review my case, explain the reason for blocking my account, and help resolve the remaining payment issues. I hope the company will respond and provide a fair solution.

It’s not that easy… I looked at a bunch of videos online thinking that it would be easy peasy, but in reality, it turns out that skills matter the most. It takes a lot of time and dedication in order to learn how to profitably trade QT. Took me about 5 months non stop to learn. As for the broker, they are solid. Withdrawals are on time, made two of them so far. But profitability rate varies a lot from one asset to anotherr

I really like the trading platform. Even tho i,m not an experienced trader it didn’t take me long to get around. Plus I appreciate how easy they have made for new traders to open a real trading account with such a low deposit requirements. But at the same time they can do better for the educational resource. Their blog has more than 1000 articles, but i’m lost a bit, it’s confusing and it’s not well-structured :/

i liking the platform, and its QT mode,as an idea it is good. However, there is a thing that really bothers me, it is that % payouts are not that high on some assets. For example, I see for EUR/AUD it is just 60%....quite low to be honest...I mean, it is arleady hard to anticiapte the price move, so, when I am right, the payout isnt that much, so need I higher to cover my losses...not so good RR. Not saying it is completely bad, but defienrely needs to be checked

The broker is open and transparent about their terms and how they operate, they got the necessary doumenattion and they're all available to read. Trading with them has been so far more or less ok;; I just didn't like when my depositing freezed for a moment. And also the point that my demo didn't feel quite similar to the rel market conditions. The rest wasn't a problem.

One must give credit to Pocket Option for maintaining such a rich blog. Thousands of articles have been published already. But I think a better organiation is required. I was looking for learning articles, and while there is a learning folder, inside you can find many articles with market analyses. Ssame is with markets folder. Maybe adiing a filter by asset would be great addition to find analysis for a specific instrument you trade

Right now, when I switched to Binance and its alpha points, is when it hurts the most. These people took advantage of the fact that I didn't know anything and painted me a rosy picture with a YouTube commercial. I deposited 100 USDT and lost everything due to a clear price slippage. 😭🚩 Warning: do not deposit. I would be more than grateful 😞 for your help in getting me out of the bad situation I'm in.

I joined Pocket Option a few weeks ago and since then I’ve been trading on a live account. Honestly, I was confused by their reward rate and how it works, most assets were having lower than 80% of fixed profits. They should have published all the information on the website, but there is nothing. The only plus is that the transaction through BinancePay wallet was smooth and without bureaucracy. I hope they’ll add more cryptocurrencies for trading cuz the variety is not huge.

Dear readers! Before you entrust your money to the Pocket Option platform, I urge you to think twice and read the comments of all users to understand the situation you're getting into. All factors here work against the trader: (I repeat, all) If the instrument goes into the red for the company, it is suddenly "disconnected" under the pretext of technical problems. Quotes often do not coincide with TradingView or other verified sources. Persistent lowering of the trade percentages makes trading less and less profitable. As soon as a trader starts to make a steady profit and tries to withdraw funds, an endless verification process starts, delaying terms up to 14 days and putting psychological pressure in hopes of further trading and loss of funds. It gets worse: if trading continues, the account gets blocked under any pretext, referring to the public offer agreement and accusing you of some clause in a polite form. It's important to understand: your trades are not directed to interbank, you are trading exclusively within the platform.

Description of what happened: 1) 05.07.2025 — $50 transfer: the bank receipt (Sberbank) shows the time as 11:41:14 (Moscow time), while the platform shows 11:40:04. Difference: 1 min 10 sec, with the platform displaying an earlier time than the bank. 2) 06.07.2025 — $50 transfer: bank time 20:56:25, platform time 20:52:11 — difference 4 min 14 sec, again the platform shows an earlier time. 3) After my complaints, the platform retroactively adjusted the balance and timestamps multiple times. Meanwhile, support referred to the "time zone UTC+2", but the minute discrepancies and the fact that the time is displayed BEFORE the bank's timestamp do not explain this. 4) I demanded complete raw logs (timestamps in UTC, information about record modifications), as well as a report on 05.07 (number of trades, profit/loss, etc.) — I was sent incomplete reports and evasive answers.

On September 14, 2025, they banned my account, claiming that I had violated Article 2.9 of their public offering agreement, which states that "the company prohibits customers from engaging in fraudulent activities that the company may consider to be part of customer behavior. These fraudulent activities aim to exploit operations not directed by the company, loopholes in the company's official website, speculation based on bonuses, and abuse of trading to gain profits, including but not limited to completing hedging transactions through different accounts and speculating on assets with liquidity difficulties. In such cases, the company reserves the right to terminate this agreement or reset the results of trading operations However, I believe that I have not violated any of the conditions described in it, and each order has a 5-minute cycle. Before the ban, there was a withdrawal request of nearly $3000 that had not been completed for more than 3 days. My ID is marcemous@gmail.com

Started by depositing 100 greenies and found it difficult to concentrate when taking large positions. Forex trading is somehow more intutive for me, so I can only trade with small amounts when using quick trading options. Copy trading actually worked better, which is very unexpected... it never worked for me before. All in all, an intersting platfomr with quick support but there are a lot of features I don't personally vibe with.

I see that the payouts show 90% or even 92% on some pairs, but mainly on major FX pairs. With other asset categories, the payout is lower, so you should check before choosing an instrument… just commenting. So, basically, if you're interested in trading options and want a high profitability rate of 92%, you end up limited to trading forex.

Have you noticed that the section on the left changes depending on the trading more you are in? For MT4/MT5, they have great analytics, with trade setups describe in detail, if I click on any of this. But for some reason, in quick trading mode there is nothing like this. Instead, its just some useless Achievements tab... Support also, mostly done by people in chats it feels like. I would much rather them take a more hands-on approach. Right now, its just community effort.

Exposure Pocket Option Review: Complaints, Regulation Gaps, and Account-Blocking Risks

Pocket Option shows a high-risk profile on the supplied WikiFX data: a 1.74 score, no verified financial regulation listed, one Securities Commission Malaysia investor-alert disclosure, and heavy recent complaint volume. Some users praise the platform and low-entry trading, but the repeated reports of blocked accounts, delayed withdrawals, KYC disputes, and fund withholding make this broker unsuitable for traders who cannot absorb account-access or withdrawal risk.
