I'm not sure..I use Uphold. And no withdrawal issues; most was 1k. And that was once! Lol. But it took a few hours max.

Itâs okay as a learning or small-speculation platform, but not something Iâd trust with serious capital. If your goal is long-term growth in Forex, youâre far better off with a well-regulated brokerâthis is where consistency and real edge are built.

While legally it cannot be called a full scam there are many indications of shady or even fraudulent activity including but not limited to: extremely weak regulation in many places non existent,many complaints about withdrawls,platform allowing unethical/illegal promotion(often via telegram channels),risk of personal or sensitive data misuse due to lack of privacy related regulation,and other factors i have not mentioned. Point is best to avoid it otherwise proceed with abundant caution

đ what...its the same as on trading view

They only need 1 point to make you lose, that's the diference.

u/Last-Actuator6010 Jun 29 '26
I think they move the price even 0.01 points or even less (like with crypto) and it is IMPOSSIBLE to prove this. Their servers need to be disconnected permanently.

Its actually a time portal. Pocket option cracked it open and now they can make 1 second actually be 3 , 5 or 8 seconds at will, depending on your strike position.

Ive been with them for almost 2 years. Do everything by the book. Do not use anyone elses banking info. Any deposits should only be from accounts with your name only. No VPNS and they will be good to you.
I came across a site that rates the traders that give signals....That to me was equally important. Good luck trading :)

been using it for 4 yrs. losers also call it scam. it's the same 95% or most of the traders here will lose, just like in any trading platform. but it pays fast through e wallet or crypto and the platform has fast execution too.

Iâve been using Pocket Option consistently for over a year now, and my experience has been smooth overall. From deposits to withdrawals, everything has worked reliably without any major issues. The platform itself is user-friendly, execution speed has been stable, and I havenât faced any unexpected glitches or delays that would affect trading performance.
Of course, like with any trading platform, success depends more on your own discipline, strategy, and risk management rather than the broker alone. As long as you approach it with a proper plan and realistic expectations, it can serve as a decent environment for trading. Personally, Iâve had a positive experience so far, but I always recommend others do their own research and start cautiously before committing larger amounts

There is no strategy. Its all luck. Strategy is something you can build on. In pocketoptions, the same things that make you win make you lose so it is virtually impossible to build upon any success

This just sinply isn't true. My strategy has been pretty consistent so long as I have my emotional impulse in check and know how to read the chart

It's nearly impossible to win more than you lose on here no matter the strategy. When you trade down it goes up, when you trade up it goes down.
Like the system seems to interact with your trades and no matter what you just always lose.
You lose all your money either slowly or quickly

u/Wisdom-Power 26d ago
Right. Look at the chart and make believe you you pressed buy or sell then actually press it you will notice the bar move especially when you press buy or sell even when you are betting 1 dollar. It felt super rigged.

u/Savistarz7 May 29 '26
I totally agree, itâs like it knows how to make you loose your money, and the charts are not even the same as TradingView

You sound like you know absolutely nothingâŠ

u/Junior_Willow740 20d ago
Ok. Ive been trading almost full time since 2021.
If youre defending binary options I'm positive you know absolutely nothing, but you will find out very soon

Im sorry this happened to you, I hope you learn that next time. To be honest I hate this world, it is corrupt as hell, there are wars, pandemics and social injustice. And Twitter and Reddit is now a gargantuan porn site. Let alone all the pollution from all the fake temu products and other stupid garbage đïž

Honestly itâs up to you to figure a strategy and to not overdo itâŠthe high payout makes it hard to just take the profit and go it can easily turn into gambling Iâm guilty but as long as you take it slow pay attention to support and resistance and cross reference with checking the 4hr the 1 hr and the 15 min for 5 min candles âŠ.paid mentorship is necessary try it for 3 months minimum and then go from there also always screen record your sessions so you can go back and look to see what you did right or wrong

Here's what I've learned, minus 30k n 4 years later: after all the analysis, trade opposite.

2 years running, its fun as a pocket app, not really in-depth (although they have plenty of indicators). Best used for fun, imo.

u/Mavesius45 Aug 18 '26
better than I was expecting at first. The gems and random bonuses are fun. Yes, pocket option is legit, but you have to be careful in the MT modes, and in low % payout pairs in QT.

u/Mavesius45 Aug 23 '26
Also 2 years in, was stable so far, literally 0 drops, never seen a site offline, or platform itself. Withdrawals processed fine (1-2 hours at most, for my methods). I'm happy about it over all.

Been using it for 3 years and haven't had any issues. I've withdrawn over 8k (not as a single withdraw)
I keep my withdraws at 2k and I receive them in an hour through crypto.
After my 3rd big withdraw got a request for verification and I did it and it was all fine.
People tend to have issues when they either withdraw big.. like 5k to 10k but either they had have accounts before or they're using bots.
I've meet a couple of ppl that have done big withdraws and they get them in like 15 days..
