Pocket Option froze withdrawal after KYC and block

I deposited $31 and won $3,800 USDT. After verifying my account and passing KYC, Pocket Option froze my withdrawal of $3,765.96 USDT. They are now withholding my funds and citing a previously reported duplicate account, which was created by mistake and closed by my request. I provided all documents, completed verification, and never violated their terms in bad faith. This is clear fund withholding, and I am requesting WikiFX to investigate and warn others.

Documented manipulations of time and balance

Description of what happened: 1) 05.07.2025 — $50 transfer: the bank receipt (Sberbank) shows the time as 11:41:14 (Moscow time), while the platform shows 11:40:04. Difference: 1 min 10 sec, with the platform displaying an earlier time than the bank. 2) 06.07.2025 — $50 transfer: bank time 20:56:25, platform time 20:52:11 — difference 4 min 14 sec, again the platform shows an earlier time. 3) After my complaints, the platform retroactively adjusted the balance and timestamps multiple times. Meanwhile, support referred to the "time zone UTC+2", but the minute discrepancies and the fact that the time is displayed BEFORE the bank's timestamp do not explain this. 4) I demanded complete raw logs (timestamps in UTC, information about record modifications), as well as a report on 05.07 (number of trades, profit/loss, etc.) — I was sent incomplete reports and evasive answers.

Account banned without reason

On September 14, 2025, they banned my account, claiming that I had violated Article 2.9 of their public offering agreement, which states that "the company prohibits customers from engaging in fraudulent activities that the company may consider to be part of customer behavior. These fraudulent activities aim to exploit operations not directed by the company, loopholes in the company's official website, speculation based on bonuses, and abuse of trading to gain profits, including but not limited to completing hedging transactions through different accounts and speculating on assets with liquidity difficulties. In such cases, the company reserves the right to terminate this agreement or reset the results of trading operations However, I believe that I have not violated any of the conditions described in it, and each order has a 5-minute cycle. Before the ban, there was a withdrawal request of nearly $3000 that had not been completed for more than 3 days. My ID is marcemous@gmail.com

Severe Slippage

I was robbed of 182 USDT.

Right now, when I switched to Binance and its alpha points, is when it hurts the most. These people took advantage of the fact that I didn't know anything and painted me a rosy picture with a YouTube commercial. I deposited 100 USDT and lost everything due to a clear price slippage. 😭🚩 Warning: do not deposit. I would be more than grateful 😞 for your help in getting me out of the bad situation I'm in.

UNJUSTIFIED RETENTION OF $12,000

I am a fully verified trader . Since March 19th, 2026, Pocket Option has been withholding my legitimate profits of $12,000.00 USD via Tether TRC-20. Despite exceeding the 3-day standard processing time, the support team only provides evasive and automated responses, claiming a 'queue' that does not exist for blockchain transactions. ACTIONS TAKEN: I have already filed a formal complaint with the Mwali International Services Authority (MISA). Case reported to Forex Peace Army (FPA). This is a clear case of withholding funds without technical justification. I will not update or remove this 1-star review until I receive a valid TXID and the funds are visible in my wallet. Be extremely careful if you plan to trade large amounts here; they fail to pay when you win

I want to report a problem with Pocket Option

I want to report a problem with Pocket Option. I deposited about $40,000 on the platform through several card payments. Later my account was suddenly blocked and I could no longer access the platform. Because of this situation I contacted my banks and opened chargeback requests. Part of the payments were returned (about $14,000), including payments processed by UAB Walletto and other acquiring banks. However, several payments processed through Bank of Kigali were not returned. My total losses are still very significant. My Pocket Option account is currently blocked and I cannot use the service or access the platform. I request Pocket Option to review my case, explain the reason for blocking my account, and help resolve the remaining payment issues. I hope the company will respond and provide a fair solution.

Pocket Option SCAMMERS!

Dear readers! Before you entrust your money to the Pocket Option platform, I urge you to think twice and read the comments of all users to understand the situation you're getting into. All factors here work against the trader: (I repeat, all) If the instrument goes into the red for the company, it is suddenly "disconnected" under the pretext of technical problems. Quotes often do not coincide with TradingView or other verified sources. Persistent lowering of the trade percentages makes trading less and less profitable. As soon as a trader starts to make a steady profit and tries to withdraw funds, an endless verification process starts, delaying terms up to 14 days and putting psychological pressure in hopes of further trading and loss of funds. It gets worse: if trading continues, the account gets blocked under any pretext, referring to the public offer agreement and accusing you of some clause in a polite form. It's important to understand: your trades are not directed to interbank, you are trading exclusively within the platform.
