Company that steals you're money..

if I could give them 0 stars then that would be fit.

i have ripples in my account which I have never touched, then they start messaging me about verification (my account was already verified)
So now I send them all my documents verifying the account once more, I get email back that they have accepted the verification and everything is great..
so I try to login and what a surprise they blocked my account, giving me new emails that I still need to verify and that they would now close the account and take my balance from the account (yes they told me straight up they would steal my money.)

i have so many emails from their customer service that makes them look really bad I have never in my life witnessed anything like this fraud site in my entire life.

I'm looking to report this company and sue them so hard they will never dare to do this again to anyone.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY THEY ARE THIEFS AND SCAM.

Thanks for sharing your concerns. We take feedback seriously, but we couldn’t find any verified IQ Option account linked to this review.

Also just to clarify, IQ Option does not offer Ripple or direct cryptocurrency ownership on the platform. We operate with CFD instruments, so balances or assets like the one you mentioned wouldn’t appear in the way described.

Account access restrictions usually happen only when the verification process is incomplete or when additional checks are required for security and regulatory reasons. This is done to protect accounts, not to block withdrawals or funds.

If you believe there’s been a misunderstanding, the best step is to contact our support team at support@iqoption.com
from your registered email so they can review your case properly. They normally reply within 48 hours.

We’re always ready to help clarify things and resolve any real issues as quickly as possible.

Hi Olivia 🙂 this space is only for topics related to the platform and trading, so we can’t really help with personal matters here.

If you have any questions about your account, verification, deposits, withdrawals or how the platform works, feel free to ask and we’ll gladly point you in the right direction 🙌

The problem hasn't been solved.

A few days ago, I contacted support for help validating my card. I followed the steps, but I still haven't received a confirmation. I would appreciate more commitment from them.

HI! Card verification isn’t instant, it can take up to 5 business days because the team needs to review the details carefully for security reasons.

If that time hasn’t passed yet, the best step is just to wait for their update. If it already has, you can reply to the same email thread or contact support at support@iqoption.com so they can check the status for you.

They’ll confirm everything as soon as the review is completed 🙏

I find iQ to be the best app,as it provides a great trading interface and quick withdrawals. For beginners I recommend you to trade s&p 500 at small investment for a turnout of big profits...remember trading is not about earning big but staying in the market

Hi.

We understand that trading losses can be frustrating, but the platform does not manipulate prices or block users for being profitable. Market quotes come from liquidity providers, and verification is required only to keep accounts secure and compliant.

If something specific happened in your case, please contact support@iqoption.com
so the team can review it in detail.

Reply from IQ Option

Hi 🙂

If an amount was debited but not credited, it usually means the payment is still being processed, pending confirmation, or needs to be checked by the provider. That doesn’t indicate fraud, but a transaction that needs review.

We don’t have access to accounts here. Please contact support@iqoption.com 📩 The usual response time is up to 48 hours, but due to high demand it can take up to 4 days. Send only one email and wait for their reply so your case can be reviewed properly.

This is a totally scam platform

This is a totally scam platform! IQ options are the masters of delay tactics! i opened an account in 2020 i have been deposit steadily since then (usually btw $5 - $10) never made any profit so never had to request a withdrawal. until 6 months ago when i deposited $1000 and made about $9,000 profit and decided to make a withdrawal that was when the delay started. for over 6 months it been 1 excuse or the other and eventually they stopped responding. they only started responding when the litigators at Largo Lane LP wrote to them directly and this morning i received an email that all restrictions on my account has been removed but i am still waiting for my funds

Hi,

We would like to clarify that IQ Option has no affiliation with any third party “recovery”, legal or fund retrieval services mentioned in online reviews. Unfortunately, some external companies publish misleading stories to redirect users to their own websites and services.

IQ Option has been operating for over 12 years across multiple countries, and all account reviews, withdrawals and restrictions are handled exclusively through our official support channels.

If you have a legitimate account related issue, please contact support@iqoption.com directly so our team can review your case.

Kindly reply to the “Find Reviewer” request we sent on Trustpilot so we can locate your account and provide a clear update.

Hi,

We strongly disagree with these claims. IQ Option has been operating for over 12 years in multiple countries, and our longevity is built on transparency, compliance, and clear operating procedures. We do not take clients’ funds, and we do not pay for reviews.

Deposits and withdrawals follow different processes, and withdrawals may require verification checks for security reasons. While delays can be frustrating, each case must be reviewed individually by our support team.

Please contact support@iqoption.com
and keep your communication in one email thread so your situation can be properly checked.

I requested a withdrawal of ₹11,282 on…

I requested a withdrawal of ₹11,282 on 24-01-2026 (Account ID: 153747888).
IQ Option marked the withdrawal as sent and shared a receipt with a UTR.
However:
My Indian Bank officially confirmed the UTR is NOT FOUND
I also have audio confirmation from the bank
The receipt provided is not a valid Indian bank transfer proof
Support keeps replying with automated messages saying “specialists are working on it”
It has now been 11+ days with no resolution
I requested either:
A fresh bank transfer with a valid UTR, or
Re-sending the amount via USDT
So far, neither has been done.
I hope IQ Option resolves this quickly and provides verifiable bank proof or reprocesses the payment.

Hi 🙂

We understand this situation is stressful.

If a withdrawal was marked as sent with a UTR, it means the transfer was initiated. However, only our specialists can verify the exact status with the bank and the payment provider. We don’t have access to banking systems or account details here on social media.

Please keep the communication in the same email thread with support@iqoption.com 📩.

We know waiting isn’t easy, but this type of case needs to be reviewed directly by the payment team. They’re the only ones who can provide a final clarification or reprocess the transaction if necessary 🤝

Hi, We strongly disagree with that. IQ Option does not block withdrawals to make anyone lose their balance.

Deposits and withdrawals follow different processes. Deposits are usually faster because they depend on the payment provider’s confirmation. Withdrawals may take more time due to security checks and processing procedures, which are in place to protect accounts 👍

We don’t have access to accounts here, so if you’re experiencing a specific issue, please contact our support team at support@iqoption.com and keep everything in one email thread. They’ll be able to review your case properly.

We’re here to keep things transparent and fair 🤝

Reply from IQ Option

Hi! We’re sorry to hear you feel this way.

Withdrawals are not canceled without reason. When this happens, it’s usually related to verification requirements, payment method rules, or security checks that need to be completed first. Deposits and withdrawals follow different procedures, which is why processing times are not the same.

We don’t have access to accounts here, so we can’t review your case directly. Please contact our support team at support@iqoption.com and keep everything in one single email thread.

We’re confident the team can clarify what’s happening and guide you through the necessary steps.

Scam: Unable to withdraw funds

You will not be able to withdraw your funds.
IQ Option will reply that 'Your withdraw request has been canceled.' then will ask you to do some verifications, selfie with IDs.
It will send this need for verification again and again.

Do not deposit money in the IQ Option

Do not deposit money in the IQ Option. They are scammers.
I deposited via cryptocurrency, but after 6 days the funds are still not credited.
Support kept asking me to wait (5–60 minutes, then 24 and 48 hours), then promised a refund, but never refunded.
Stay away.

Hi! We strongly disagree with that statement.

IQ Option is not a scam, and no refunds are promised arbitrarily. Crypto deposits depend on correct network selection, wallet address accuracy and blockchain confirmations. If something is missing or incorrect, the transaction needs to be reviewed according to our procedures.

We don’t have access to accounts here, and only the support team can properly check your case. Please keep communication in a single email thread with support@iqoption.com and make sure all required information has been provided. Sending multiple emails can delay the review process.

We’re always open to resolving situations through the proper channels

Thank you for sharing your experience and perspective. We understand your concerns, especially regarding the importance of proper trading education.

While IQ Option provides trading tools, a demo account, and educational materials, trading itself requires learning, practice, and disciplined risk management. Results can vary greatly depending on strategy, market conditions, and experience, which is why we always encourage users to start with the demo account and approach live trading cautiously.

We appreciate your honest feedback about education and guidance. Your suggestion is valuable, and we’ll make sure it’s noted. If you or members of your community have questions about platform features or available learning resources, our support team is available at support@iqoption.com.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

“I have been using IQ Option for a year. The platform is easy to use and good for learning trading, but it is risky and requires careful money management.” Although:
IQ Option is a popular online trading platform offering forex, CFDs, crypto, and options.
It’s beginner-friendly with a clean interface and a free demo account.
The minimum deposit is low, making it easy to start for new traders.
However, trading—especially binary options—is very risky and many users lose money.
Some traders report withdrawal delays and mixed customer support experiences.
Overall, it’s not a scam, but it’s high-risk and best used with caution.

Thank you for sharing your balanced and thoughtful feedback.

We’re glad to hear that you find the platform easy to use and helpful for learning, especially with features like the demo account and accessible minimum deposit. Making the platform intuitive for both new and experienced users is something we continuously work on.

You’re absolutely right that trading involves risk and requires careful money management. Market volatility and the nature of certain instruments mean results can vary, which is why we always encourage users to trade responsibly and make use of educational tools and risk controls available on the platform.

We also appreciate your honest perspective regarding withdrawals and support experiences. Feedback like this helps us understand where improvements are needed.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a fair and constructive review. If you ever need assistance, our support team is available via support@iqoption.com.

Withdrawal deliberately obstructed for years (not even profit, but my funds)

NOTE: Don't get fooled by positive reviews, they are paying it.

I’ve had an IQ Option account for 8–9 years. About a year after my deposit, I attempted to withdraw my funds. What followed was a long pattern of delays and shifting requirements that effectively blocked the withdrawal.

I was repeatedly asked to submit additional documents, then told to change the withdrawal method (including being instructed to convert funds to crypto), only for that to be rejected as well. After going back and forth multiple times with no resolution, I eventually gave up on recovering my money.

Recently, I received an email stating my account would be charged due to inactivity and that I could avoid the fee by withdrawing my funds. I took this as an opportunity to try again.

The same behavior repeated. My identity verification was rejected multiple times. First, IQ Option claimed they had not received my documents sent by email - which is not possible since I replied directly to their email asking for additional documents.
After resubmitting them via live chat, multiple times, I was told my passport selfie was “blurry” — despite the document being clearly legible when enlarged, with all personal details readable.

This is not a technical issue. It is a recurring pattern of obstruction that only appears when a customer attempts to withdraw funds.

My experience shows that depositing money is easy, but accessing it later is made deliberately impossible.

p.s. I will try one more time and update the review if I succeed. Till the STAY AWAY from IQ option.

Update 1 (4th February 2026): after my review on Trustpilot, they finally accepted the selfie with the passport and I submitted the new request for withdrawal. After 3 days, it was not rejected BUT it shows ERROR. So another way to prevent you from getting your money.
Update2 (7-2-2026): 3 more requests cancelled due to error. Meanwhile their support told me it was cancelled due to my unverified Skrill account - so I verified it, they confirmed I can withdraw. But the same things keeps happening. I am waiting to hear what's the next they will come up with.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your experience. We understand how frustrating and discouraging this situation has been, especially given the length of time you’ve been a client and the repeated attempts you’ve made to resolve the matter.

We’d like to clarify that IQ Option does not deliberately obstruct withdrawals or apply verification requirements selectively. Identity verification and document checks are mandatory regulatory procedures designed to protect accounts and comply with legal obligations. In some cases, documents may need to be resubmitted if they do not fully meet technical or compliance requirements, even if they appear clear at first glance. This can understandably feel repetitive and unsatisfactory, and we regret the inconvenience this has caused.

Regarding inactivity notifications, these are standard account notices, and withdrawing funds is indeed one way to avoid such fees when applicable. We’re sorry to hear that your renewed attempt has not yet led to a resolution.

As account-specific issues cannot be handled publicly, we strongly encourage you to contact our official support team at support@iqoption.com, referencing your previous correspondence and including the most recent documents requested. This will allow the team to review your case comprehensively and provide clear guidance on the next steps.

We appreciate you giving the process another chance and hope your situation can be resolved successfully. Your feedback is valuable, and we encourage you to update your review once the matter is concluded.

Thank you for sharing these details. We’re sorry to hear about the frustration you’re experiencing and understand how concerning it is when both deposits and withdrawals are affected and communication feels unavailable.

For security reasons, we can’t review or discuss account-specific information publicly. However, we’d like to clarify that IQ Option does not disable withdrawal options arbitrarily or intentionally block access to funds. Situations where withdrawals or deposits appear unavailable are usually linked to account verification status, compliance checks, technical limitations, or pending payment provider processing.

Regarding support access, live chat availability may vary depending on region, account status, or current system load. That said, email remains the official and reliable support channel. We kindly ask you to contact our support team again at support@iqoption.com, clearly including:

• Details of the pending deposit
• Screenshots or error messages related to the withdrawal option

This will allow the team to locate your case and provide accurate assistance. We also recommend avoiding sharing personal account details publicly for your own security.

We understand your frustration and encourage you to reach out through the official support email so your situation can be properly reviewed and clarified.

Payout Changes When You Start Winning 😡

In my experience, IQ Option is not trustworthy. Whenever I started earning consistently, the payout was changed in ways that didn’t match the market or my trade terms. Trades that should have paid out fairly suddenly had lower payouts or adjusted conditions right when I was winning.

It honestly feels like the payout is being changed when you are earning to reduce your profits. Because of this, I’ve lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the platform. Trading should be risky because of the market—not because the platform changes your payout when you do well. I would not recommend IQ Option to serious traders.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We understand why this experience would lead to frustration and a loss of confidence, and we’re sorry to hear that this has been your perception of the platform.

We’d like to clarify that IQ Option does not adjust payouts based on individual user performance or winning activity. Payouts are determined by market conditions, liquidity, volatility, and the specific instrument at the time a trade is opened. As these factors change, payout percentages may fluctuate accordingly, but they are applied uniformly and transparently to all users, not selectively.

That said, we take feedback about fairness and transparency very seriously. If you noticed payout changes on specific trades that you believe did not align with the conditions shown at entry, we strongly encourage you to contact our official support team at support@iqoption.com, including details such as dates, instruments, and trade times. This allows our team to review the exact conditions and provide a clear explanation.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a detailed review and encourage you to reach out through the official channel so your concerns can be properly reviewed.
