Their Financial Services Commission (FSC) license seems a bit suspicious, and their website is often unavailable! Another thing that bother me is the high spread on their Basic account, which can eat into profits. But I've been able to work around it by using their more advanced accounts with tighter spreads. Overall, I think 24option can be a decent option for experienced traders who are looking for high leverage. But if you're a beginner or if you value transparency, stay away!

I wouldn't recommend 24option to anyone looking for a trustworthy broker. Their minimum deposit requirement of 250 dollars is quite high compared to other brokers in the market. The only thing that seems attractive is their leverage of up to 1:500, but that's just asking for trouble if you're not an experienced trader. But the thing that really rubbed me the wrong way is their withdrawal fee, which is way too high!! I think there are much better options out there.
