How we score

Each binary options broker gets five sub-scores out of 5:

Platform (25%), costs and payouts (20%), deposits and withdrawals (15%), support (15%) and transparency and regulation (25%). The overall score is the weighted average, rounded to one decimal. None of these brokers is licensed by a top-tier regulator, which is why their transparency scores are low.

Availability is checked against each broker’s published list of restricted countries. The order of the ranking is set by our authors from their own experience with these platforms, so it does not always follow the scores.

Advertiser disclosure

Broksal is free to use because some brokers pay us a commission when you open an account through our links. It costs you nothing.

Commissions do not affect the facts we publish about regulation, payouts and country availability, which come from the brokers’ own documents and independent sources.

    Binary options are high-risk; you can lose your whole stake.

Binary options are high-risk products. Each trade is all-or-nothing: if the price ends on the wrong side, you lose the whole amount you staked. Most people who trade them lose money. Only trade with money you can afford to lose, and start on the free demo account. Nothing here is investment advice, and past payouts do not predict future results.

Tax

Paying in XOF

A card payment in XOF is converted to dollars before it reaches the broker, at a rate set by the card scheme or the payment provider. On a $10 deposit that can cost more than the trades themselves. Payment options depend on the country you choose at registration, and withdrawals usually go back to the method you paid with.
