Frequently asked questions

Can I use Pocket Option from the UAE?
Pocket Option accepts registrations from the UAE and its platform is available in English and Arabic. It operates offshore and is not regulated by the Securities and Commodities Authority or any other UAE agency, so review the current terms and the rules that apply to you before opening an account.

Can I deposit in dirhams (AED)?
Accounts are held in USD. A payment made from a UAE bank card or e-wallet in dirhams is converted to US dollars at the prevailing rate — according to Pocket Option, cards and e-wallets are the typical funding routes for clients in the UAE.
Is Pocket Option regulated?
Pocket Option holds an offshore licence from the Mwali International Services Authority (Comoros). It is not regulated by any UAE authority, which is an important risk factor to weigh.
Is trading on Pocket Option risky?
Yes. Quick options are all-or-nothing trades, so losses can accumulate rapidly. Practise on the free $50,000 demo first and only ever trade money you can afford to lose.

Pocket Option. They're terrible, thieves! I swear, it dropped 300 points in a minute! Another broker didn't let it drop like that. This drop was just to make me lose money. They're thieves and scammers!
