Pocket Option 

scaammmm, please dont start witj this scam trading site !!! DONT

I've been a user of PocketOption's platform for almost 12 months. For the first several months everything seemed fine---withdrawals were relatively smooth and efficiant, and I actually made money. But, as I write this review in early march 2026, I have noted that the platform has changed significantly in the last few months. I have always been a little suspicious of the so-called "OTC" currency pairs, which generally offer up to 92% returns. Aside from the fact that these OTC pairs 'chop and change' from 92% down to 75% or even as low as 40% without warning all the time (often meaning that, unless you constantly check every few seconds, you will buy trades for much less than you expected), I was well aware that these "assets" were artificial and based on algorithms created by the platform. But I pretended to believe that they were "non-specific"---i.e. that the charts that I was basing my trade decisions on were the same charts that everyone else was seeing. But this is not the case. If you are familiar with PocketOption, you have no doubt wondered why, whenever you place a trade or a series of trades (one after the other), the price seems to suddenly reverse each time against the direction in which you are betting. In my case, I have watched as a particular currency pair has sat still for several seconds (and I tend to focus primarily on the one-minute charts), but as soon as I start placing trades, the chart comes to life and there are "jerking' reversals against the direction in which I'm betting. I have confirmed this with a secondary account, using a different email address, that I created and keep open on my phone, and use as a side-by-side comparison. Guess what? The two charts don't behave in the same way. There is definite manipulation going on. So, if you are hoping to save yourself financially, and are putting all your eggs into the "PocketOption basket", let me tell you now that you will not be allowed to succeed. And please don't put your money on these other "traders" whom, we are told, are successfully making $10,000 or more each week---it's a total scam and they will take all your money. Avoid this site at all cost.

Scammed, trader took the money

(figure in blue dress). I am also victim of pocketoption. I know pocketoption operator's names, photos, etc and want to share with other victims! Pocketoption is full scam.

I am a trader on your platform for several years. In the past, I experienced wins and losses due to my learning process, but market movements, candles, and timeframes were always clear and predictable.
Recently, I have observed a concerning pattern: trades with small amounts or during the first few trades of the day often succeed, but subsequent trades frequently experience sudden reversals in the final seconds, causing losses by just a few points. This is clearly illustrated in the attached screenshot showing trades lost by only one point despite a clear trend and candle patterns.
Moreover, trades with larger amounts almost always lose, even when opened at the same time and in the same direction as smaller trades. For example, if I open two trades simultaneously on the same asset—one with a small amount and one with a large amount—the larger trade consistently loses while the smaller trade wins. This pattern has repeated across multiple trades and timeframes.
I have tested this on multiple timeframes and noticed that increasing the trade amount often leads to the same issue: even with correct analysis, clear trends, and proper candles, the candle suddenly spikes in the opposite direction just before closing.
I have contacted support multiple times and provided evidence, including screenshots and a video. However, the replies have been the standard explanation that there was no platform maintenance and that this is normal market movement. As an experienced trader, I can confidently say this is inconsistent with normal market behavior.
Additionally, I have noticed that new accounts tend to succeed more easily, while long-standing accounts like mine often face these abnormal behaviors, and complaints are not taken seriously.
I am submitting this as a formal complaint with attached evidence (screenshot and video) and request a thorough review of trade execution, price feed behavior, and platform fairness. The pattern is repeatable and clearly observable, and it has affected my confidence and trust in the platform.
I hope this matter is treated seriously, and I look forward to your clear response and resolution.
Best regards,

I used Pocket Option’s copy trading and finally started earning, but then everything went downhill. As soon as I made real profits following a trader who used third-party software, my account was blocked with no clear explanation — they just said I violated rules. Reviews online show this isn’t uncommon — profitable accounts get restrictions and sudden bans.

The withdrawal process is a nightmare. They hit you with multiple verification steps that seem pointless and sometimes never approve them unless you comply with endless requests. Even after providing all documents, lots of traders report long delays or funds being frozen.

Support barely responds, and it feels like they only make you jump through hoops so they can hold on to your money. I can’t recommend Pocket Option at all — especially if you plan to profit and withdraw it.

It’s a scam platform. It’s not legit platform. The candles totally different from normal chart trading stay away from pocket option. It’s a scam.

Pocket Option Trading Platform is not a profitable platform. It feels more like gambling than trading as I am not in control of the trade. The platform's timer is in control. I would definitely NOT recommend this platform at all. I've lost more than I've won on this platform. Even if you try and follow the trend, the timer will setbyou in a loss most of the time. And it really doesn't matter what timeframe you use

I have deposited 100 USD to them on Thursday using bank transfer which claims to be deposited after 15 mins but my deposit did not show on my account I immediately asked for support and after 3 days now investigation is still not completed. Stay away if you don't want to be scammed, they could hold your fund for more than 3 days without any reasonable explanation.

I have also contacted their support with my transaction records for 5 days and they decide to ignore it and stall the payment or refund. AVOID DEPOSITING AND USING THIS COMPANY. IT IS FRAUD AND SCAM.

So I used pocket option, I put 100$ n turned it to 350$ in on day, so I tried to withdraw it n they asked for a selfie and id to verify who I was, I tried like 3 times n they kept denying me saying the selfie didn’t approve, but the 4th time it worked n they sent my money with in a hr of the approval, other then that I haven’t had a problem, support helped me n was useful, not sure about bigger withdrawals but all I can say is they gave me my money ,

They manipulate you by wining first and then they steal all your money. Scammer . I don’t recommend to use this platform. I lost over £20k in this platform

It is extremely disappointing to deal with such unethical practices. They operate like real scammers. Their only aim is to pump money from clients, and their relationship managers deliberately advise and convince customers to take highly risky trades, leading to heavy losses. The guidance provided is clearly manipulated to benefit the platform, not the client. This behavior is misleading, exploitative, and completely unacceptable. I reported the matter and got assistance I refused to let them go away with my money filed a complaint and got everything back within few days. seek help if you can. Based on this ordeal, my advice to prospective clients is to avoid this platform.

I deposited money on this platform and when its time to withdraw they keep asking me to verify my selfie. Which entails a Pic of myself ID(which the already verified) on its own a pie of paper with words 'trade verify' and my signature. They respond after 24 or 48 hours saying its not clear and give same instruction every time. I have submitted this paper at least 5 times since the 24th.

Pocket Option is extremely unreliable and fraudulent. They expect you to make a profit, then lock your account and steal your earnings.

Don't use this platform, I have used it, win money (double my account) and 2 weeks after they banned me because I didn't respect rules!!! The rule 2.9 say, you win you can be banned without reason, they are only judge!!!
In fact they only want losers and scammer...
The star is only that they refund me....

​"I am a VIP trader with over $63,000 in turnover on Pocket Option. I am writing this to warn everyone about a severe technical glitch. On 2025-12-21, the platform's server duplicated my trade. I entered one trade, but the system opened TWO $1,000 trades at the exact same millisecond: 01:28:25.838.
​This is a 100% server-side error. Instead of refunding my money, the support team blocked my access to open new tickets and ignored my technical evidence. They are refusing to acknowledge a clear system failure. I have all the screenshots proving the millisecond duplication. This platform is unsafe for high-volume traders. Refund my $1,000 immediately! Account UID: 112407325"

Update Jan 2, 2026: The company contacted me asking to stop messaging them instead of fixing the $1,000 glitch. I have officially replied and rejected their attempts to silence me. The world needs to know about the 01:28:25.838 millisecond error."

Update Jan 2: After escalating my $1,000 refund request, the company has now restricted my ability to speak in the public chat until Jan 7. They are trying to hide the truth about the technical glitch at 01:28:25.838 from other traders."

I would like to write review so other don’t suffer for same issue I’ve got , usually I don’t do it but they force me to . After 2 years I am trying to learn trading , I become successful in time and want it to withdraw money , first they sent small amount no problem . When I want it to withdraw more , their id verification system is stoping you from doing so . It’s been several days of identifying as I’ve all the documents needed to verify that only myself using account , they are lied 24-48 hours for internal verification.. well it didn’t happen still waiting on their slow support to do so , I am going to write you the lowest review everywhere and report you everywhere !!! Simply when you taking money you don’t ask but just take , when you have to give money ? You start asking docs , even so still no money are coming so you are truly scamming people I hope your platform will be closed and people won’t use anymore , you are fraud !!!

This broker is a complete scam. I deposited via USDT instantly, but when I wanted to leave, they forced me to trade up to a $50 minimum limit. After I finally requested a withdrawal, they stalled for days (even though USDT takes minutes) and then today they simply REJECTED my $51 withdrawal request. Their support chat is likely a bot and provides no help. They are unregulated and rely on influencers to lure people into their referral schemes. Do not deposit here; you won't get your money back.

I deposited 1000 INR for trading on December 7th, but to this day, not a single penny has been credited to my trading wallet. This is a huge fraud. I made the payment to the address you provided, but you are not verifying it, and you are treating your traders very unfairly. I am sharing the transaction ID and proof of payment with you. If you don't take action, I will share my proof on Trustpilot and expose this trading platform as a fraud. I have also sent all the documents to your email, but you are not trustworthy. If you were trustworthy, my trading balance would have been credited by now.

Iv read a lot of reviews both positive and negative and I have to say I can’t see the issue so far ( as of 17/12/2025) Iv started with an investment of £350 and have slowly grown my account. Iv requested a small withdrawal one via BTC and one via USDT.. the BTC was paid out instantly and I have requested the other one today to say it’s been processed. Simon sure what the negative reviews are about. Yes you will lose trades and you will win some, that’s life for you..keep
Up
The good work pocket option
