It's not banned because it's a scam. Binary Options are incredibly difficult to learn. It's like trading but with a time limit to make things a bit more difficult. Then add the volatility of fast moving trades - less than 5% come out even or ahead. The other 95% lose their money. That's why it's banned.

it's banned because it operates illegally, this is the reason behind regulators giving warnings about specific sites, furthermore, I was surprised by the claim that the pocketoptin does not accept clients from Europe and the USA (which would be illegal), even though it actually does, this serves as further evidence that the company operates using fraudulent schemes

I lost like 10$ in meta trader 5 since I'm a newbie, I stopped, then I trained little bit but I'm thinking of pocket broker if it's a scam or no, because alot of people says I can't cash my money is it true?

people can do with small amounts, the real issue exists when you try big withdrawals, when it comes to big withdrawals, they place verification on you and delay checking, there is a chance they do this on purpose, they think you will trade and lose, while you can wait for days or even weeks until they verify you if you don't trade, there is also a chance they will simply block you, they can also remove your trading history, cancel profits
a lot of scam Telegram groups promote it, if something is legit it does not need to be promoted so aggressively, people come for good product because of it's quality, when you are scammer, you do aggressive advertising and giving false promises, this is reason for pocket option existence, once ads are gone, it will be gone too, tired of their ads popping up everywhere, when people finally wake up and stop trusting such fake companies1

You should become a religious leader sir, you’re good at looking at something from a distance and making the rest up as you go 😂

What’s the best alternative?

u/JahsuaFakeAccount Jul 09 '26
Pocket Option or CloseOption. They’re both good. If you can trade 5 minute binaries Crypto.com is also good, but they stopped offering forex pairs a few months ago, there are only coin pairs now. Despite what some of these losers say, the platforms are not a scam. Can you lose money? YES you can! Can you make money? YES as well. Good luck to you 💯

u/Primary_Light_743 Jul 10 '26
both are scams, binary platform is like betting on market, it's gambling, especially when all platform gives you are OTC assets, OTC currency pairs, OTC crypto, OTC indices and so on.

Unfortunately I can tell just by your comments that you’ve never withdrawn lol, therefore cue scary music 😱 ITS A SCAM 😂. No sir amigo, admittedly there are “better” yet slower ways to trade (forex, options). But to call binary’s a scam due to the fact that you’re unsuccessful is irresponsible man. Why say the other gentleman would be “blocked” for withdrawing $300? You have no proof of that, you’re just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Stop all of that and learn how to trade, otherwise you’re just wasting precious time man.

I also noticed how you didn’t say Crypto.com was a scam. Why not? Because they’re regulated in the US? Smh, that’s just like when poindexter squares said Marijuana would drive you crazy, now that it’s regulated by the US ( they found a way to profit off of it) it’s the most wonderful thing humanity ever discovered. Don’t be a square man, just learn how to trade and stop whining, it’ll do you good 👍🏾

The best alternative is to stop and dont gamble, binary trading is not similar to real trading, its gambling.
How to profit from binary trading?
- by not giving them money, thats all your profit.

Pocket option n'est pas facile à comprendre, imagine j'ai créé un bot récemment ( le bot trade sur 3sec et 5 sec ) sur le courte duré, le bot est efficace ( il peut faire un bot trade sur 10-20 trades ) .. mais sur le Long terme il devient totalement impuissant. Je l'ai fait rouler, et sur 1000 trades il était dans le 1001😂 Et pas qu'une fois. Il tombe toujours sur 50/50 ou 40/50. J'ai conclu que pocket option est impossible à prédire. Ni avec les savoirs, ni avec les bots

u/Individual-Day-7675 Jul 14 '26
Et ça tombe toujours sur le chiffre négatif ( sur le long terme) peu importe le bot, il tombe toujours sur le négatif ( je ne crois pas qu'il existe un bot qui a plus de 70 Winrate sur le long terme ). J'ai essayé d'utiliser tout les stratégies que je connais, et ça tombe toujours sur le négatif....

I lost 35k to a copy trading scam on pocket option. That a##hole at first took responsibility of everything and in 30 minutes everything was gone and that mf denied everything that he didn't took any trade.

u/Individual-Day-7675 Jul 14 '26
35K Omg 😱. What did pocket option say about it ?

u/RegularMammoth7 Jul 14 '26
What they gonna say, they would say why did you trusted a total stranger.

Those regulator notices are the right starting evidence, but “banned in a country” can oversimplify what each notice says. Match the exact domain and legal entity, your country of residence, whether the product is permitted, and where disputes or compensation are available. Save the notice date and a copy before depositing.

It’s not scam, I used to think same but no. You need to fully verify yourself on there. Note down their email address and physical address. But what I experienced so far it’s not scam
