Partner disclosure

We may earn a commission from partner links, including links to IQ Option. Trading carries risk and you can lose the money you put in.

The short version

IQ Option Verdict Desk is a free site published by Verdict Desk Media. Some outbound links on it may be commercial: if you follow one, open an account and trade, the operator may pay us a commission. You pay nothing extra, and the price and terms you get are the same either way.

What that money does and does not buy

It pays for the desk. It does not buy a verdict. To be concrete about the things a commercial arrangement could plausibly corrupt, and how we handle them:

• Enforcement history stays on the page. Regulator fines, settlements and alert-list entries are reported with their dates whether or not a commercial relationship exists.
• Jurisdiction gaps stay on the page. Where a broker is not authorised in a reader's country, we say so plainly, including when that means the reader has no local recourse.
• Complaints are not laundered. We explain what causes recurring complaints; we do not dismiss them because a partner would prefer we did.
• No pay-for-placement. Comparison pages are ordered by the evidence, not by who pays more. Nobody buys a ranking, a rating or a removal.
• No approval rights. No operator sees, reviews or signs off a page before it is published.

If we ever could not write honestly about a company while taking its money, we would drop the commercial link and keep the article.

Where the links are

Commercial links are marked as sponsored in the page code (rel="sponsored nofollow") and open in a new tab. Ordinary editorial links — regulator registers, published decisions, reference pages — are never commercial. At the time of writing, no partner programme is active on this site and no commercial links are live; this disclosure is published in advance so that the position is clear if that changes.

Independence and limits

We are not IQ Option, not affiliated with its management, and not a regulator. We have not opened a live account, deposited, or withdrawn, and we publish no figures that would require it. Volatile details — fees, minimums, processing times, promotions — change without notice, so confirm them on the operator's own site before you deposit.

Nothing here is investment advice. Trading CFDs and other leveraged products carries a high risk of losing money, and a valid licence reduces counterparty risk without reducing market risk at all.
