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

Scam

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.

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.

pocket option stole over $115 million of my profit

What happened to me is that I traded in PO TRADE LTD/ POCKET OPTION correctly and officially and I have evidence that my deals are correct with all my trades as my profits amounted to more than 115 million dollars correctly and officially and I was surprised that pocket option blocked my account and stole my profits and manipulated the timing of my deals in the account statement in a fraudulent manner to show that my profits were due to a technical glitch but pocket option does not know that I have documented screenshots of all my deals within the application in my account which prove the correct timing and validity of my deals and profits and therefore the fraud that pocket option is doing will not benefit it and I will not give up my right at all and I will continue to demand my right until I recover all my profits. As trading can lose millions of dollars and also make millions of dollars and therefore no company has the right to confiscate the profits of any client .Whatever

293 DAYS AND THE POCKET OPTION REMAINS DENYING

The platform does not respond to the emails I send to support, they are lying saying that I used my balance in negotiations which they know is a lie because they have already sent me a message saying that they had paid my profit and Cubopay had withheld my money, already they invented several contradictory lies to avoid paying the profit that they will withhold from my account which was blocked, they are saying that they refunded my deposit funds which is also a lie as Payretailers sent me an email proving that they had not authorized any refunds, today It has been 293 days since my $6767 profit was withheld by them and the account was blocked! 62 days passed after they messaged me that my refund was being processed and would take 30-60 days to do so! I WANT TO LEAVE MY TOTAL INDIGNATION WITH THE PLATFORM! DO NOT DEPOSIT MONEY IN THIS BROKER, THEIR SUPPORT IS NOT RELIEF, THEY DO NOT RESOLVE THE CUSTOMERS' PROBLEMS, THEY LIE AND USE FALSE INFORMATION TO NOT PAY THE PROFITS, THEY MOCK THE CUSTOMERS! THEY ARE NOT A REPUTABLE COMPANY! I HAVE PROOF OF EVERYTHING AND ALL THE LIES TOLD BY THEM. POCKET Option refund my balance $6767.

    At first I was trading with pocket option all by myself. The quick trading mode is good, pretty easy to learn how to trade even for beginners. However, I had issues with finding time as I was really busy working. And I’m glad that they integrated this copy trading feature inside the platform. It’s a bit risky, but there are some decent traders that are able to constantly pull off profits by the end of the month. It’s just hard to find them :D here is the tip though, look out for traders with the least amount of trades taken, but with a high win rate. Those are usually the ones that trade in disciplined way following all their rules. Not just guessing where the price would go.

    It’s not that easy… I looked at a bunch of videos online thinking that it would be easy peasy, but in reality, it turns out that skills matter the most. It takes a lot of time and dedication in order to learn how to profitably trade QT. Took me about 5 months non stop to learn. As for the broker, they are solid. Withdrawals are on time, made two of them so far. But profitability rate varies a lot from one asset to anotherr
