The Pocket Option minimum deposit is $5, and individual trades start from $1, so a small first deposit already allows several trades. Accounts are held in USD — a dirham payment from the UAE converts at the prevailing rate — and some payment methods set their own floor slightly above $5. The $50,000 demo is free, so you can practise before depositing anything.

Depositing Through the Pocket Option App

You do not need a computer to make the deposit. The Pocket Option app for Android and iOS lets you open an account, deposit, trade quick options and request a withdrawal from your phone. It is connected to the same account you use on the web platform and the desktop app, so funds deposited on the phone are also there when you trade on the web or desktop. Switching between the demo and real accounts takes one tap, the interface comes in English and Arabic, and support is available 24/7. Quick options are high-risk, so deposit only what you can afford to lose.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum deposit at Pocket Option?
$5 for the account itself; some payment methods set a slightly higher floor, shown on the deposit page per method.
How much is $5 in dirhams?
The AED price of a $5 deposit follows the current exchange rate applied by your bank or e-wallet, so the exact figure varies slightly from day to day.
What is the smallest trade I can place?
Trades start from $1, so even the minimum $5 deposit allows several separate trades.
Is a small deposit safer?
It limits the total you can lose, which is sensible for a high-risk product like quick options — but every traded dollar remains at risk. Practise on the free demo first.
