Broker violations and abnormal records
  • 2023-05-07 BrokersView has reviewed that Pocket Option is an unregulated broker

    Update on July 24, 2024:

    The only license Pocket Option claims to hold was issued by the Mwali International Services Authority (MISA), which has since been canceled. This means the company is offering financial services without any oversight or supervision. It is critical to note that three financial regulators have flagged Pocket Option for lacking the required authorization, they are: Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA), and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

    Historical information:

    Pocket Option's claim that it is operated by Gembell Limited registered with the Marshall Islands Registry (IRI) under registration number 86967 is unfounded as records from the IRI suggest that it is dissolved. In addition, although Gembell Limited, as stated on its homepage, is regulated by International Financial Market Relations Regulation Center (IFMRRC), it is important to note that the IFMRRC doesn't regulate entities engaging in forex activities. To put it simply, Pocket Option is literally not subject to valid regulations.

    In essence, Pocket Option is not regulated by any governing body. Entrusting this broker with investors' funds is highly risky, as there are no legal protections in place to safeguard the funds. It is unequivocally a scam.

I have been trading for three months and I've had some ups and downs. I love the user friendly site but definitely use your PC as sometimes it's glitchy on a cell phone

I paid 60 funds after opening the account, there was a problem to finish uploading the required information it kept on declining, later I was sent a message saying Germany is not supported to trade pocket options. No one said or sends a message saying I'm not supposed to open an account, after receiving a message with a picture of German that I can't trade or learn to trade I demanded my money back they told me to close the account I said I won't till I receive my money back to my account. The money got disappeared in the account where I asked I was told that the money was deposited to the person I chose to join. From there I wrote countless emails asking the name and account for the person I did get it. Now they have fake email that is responding to my emails. Pocket options is full of criminal who steals people's money.
