Been trading gold my whole exp with iq option, earned quite a lot… Longs are dominant

Reply from IQ Option
if I could give them 0 stars then that would be fit.
i have ripples in my account which I have never touched, then they start messaging me about verification (my account was already verified)
So now I send them all my documents verifying the account once more, I get email back that they have accepted the verification and everything is great..
so I try to login and what a surprise they blocked my account, giving me new emails that I still need to verify and that they would now close the account and take my balance from the account (yes they told me straight up they would steal my money.)
i have so many emails from their customer service that makes them look really bad I have never in my life witnessed anything like this fraud site in my entire life.
I'm looking to report this company and sue them so hard they will never dare to do this again to anyone.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY THEY ARE THIEFS AND SCAM.

A few days ago, I contacted support for help validating my card. I followed the steps, but I still haven't received a confirmation. I would appreciate more commitment from them.

I find iQ to be the best app,as it provides a great trading interface and quick withdrawals. For beginners I recommend you to trade s&p 500 at small investment for a turnout of big profits...remember trading is not about earning big but staying in the market

ANOTHER AMOUNT TRIED TO DEPOSITE , BUT AGAIN , AMOUNT DEBITED FROM MY ACCOUNT AND NOT CREDIT TO IQ OPTION , THEY ARE FRAUD

Reply from IQ Option
This is a totally scam platform! IQ options are the masters of delay tactics! i opened an account in 2020 i have been deposit steadily since then (usually btw $5 - $10) never made any profit so never had to request a withdrawal. until 6 months ago when i deposited $1000 and made about $9,000 profit and decided to make a withdrawal that was when the delay started. for over 6 months it been 1 excuse or the other and eventually they stopped responding. they only started responding when the litigators at Largo Lane LP wrote to them directly and this morning i received an email that all restrictions on my account has been removed but i am still waiting for my funds

I requested a withdrawal of ₹11,282 on 24-01-2026 (Account ID: 153747888).
IQ Option marked the withdrawal as sent and shared a receipt with a UTR.
However:
My Indian Bank officially confirmed the UTR is NOT FOUND
I also have audio confirmation from the bank
The receipt provided is not a valid Indian bank transfer proof
Support keeps replying with automated messages saying “specialists are working on it”
It has now been 11+ days with no resolution
I requested either:
A fresh bank transfer with a valid UTR, or
Re-sending the amount via USDT
So far, neither has been done.
I hope IQ Option resolves this quickly and provides verifiable bank proof or reprocesses the payment.

Is option is the worst platforms ever..they won’t allow you to withdraw until you get to blow your account..why can’t deposits takes up to 1-3 days? But withdraw would..scam platform

Reply from IQ Option
Can you please add zero star coz this is a joke and the worst broker. It takes seconds to deposit but days for withdrawal. I have requested for a withdrawal more than 10x but the keep cancelling it. I have tried all the withdrawal options.

Reply from IQ Option
You will not be able to withdraw your funds.
IQ Option will reply that 'Your withdraw request has been canceled.' then will ask you to do some verifications, selfie with IDs.
It will send this need for verification again and again.

Reply from IQ Option
Do not deposit money in the IQ Option. They are scammers.
I deposited via cryptocurrency, but after 6 days the funds are still not credited.
Support kept asking me to wait (5–60 minutes, then 24 and 48 hours), then promised a refund, but never refunded.
Stay away.

“I have been using IQ Option for a year. The platform is easy to use and good for learning trading, but it is risky and requires careful money management.” Although:
IQ Option is a popular online trading platform offering forex, CFDs, crypto, and options.
It’s beginner-friendly with a clean interface and a free demo account.
The minimum deposit is low, making it easy to start for new traders.
However, trading—especially binary options—is very risky and many users lose money.
Some traders report withdrawal delays and mixed customer support experiences.
Overall, it’s not a scam, but it’s high-risk and best used with caution.

NOTE: Don't get fooled by positive reviews, they are paying it.
I’ve had an IQ Option account for 8–9 years. About a year after my deposit, I attempted to withdraw my funds. What followed was a long pattern of delays and shifting requirements that effectively blocked the withdrawal.
I was repeatedly asked to submit additional documents, then told to change the withdrawal method (including being instructed to convert funds to crypto), only for that to be rejected as well. After going back and forth multiple times with no resolution, I eventually gave up on recovering my money.
Recently, I received an email stating my account would be charged due to inactivity and that I could avoid the fee by withdrawing my funds. I took this as an opportunity to try again.
The same behavior repeated. My identity verification was rejected multiple times. First, IQ Option claimed they had not received my documents sent by email - which is not possible since I replied directly to their email asking for additional documents.
After resubmitting them via live chat, multiple times, I was told my passport selfie was “blurry” — despite the document being clearly legible when enlarged, with all personal details readable.
This is not a technical issue. It is a recurring pattern of obstruction that only appears when a customer attempts to withdraw funds.
My experience shows that depositing money is easy, but accessing it later is made deliberately impossible.
p.s. I will try one more time and update the review if I succeed. Till the STAY AWAY from IQ option.
Update 1 (4th February 2026): after my review on Trustpilot, they finally accepted the selfie with the passport and I submitted the new request for withdrawal. After 3 days, it was not rejected BUT it shows ERROR. So another way to prevent you from getting your money.
Update2 (7-2-2026): 3 more requests cancelled due to error. Meanwhile their support told me it was cancelled due to my unverified Skrill account - so I verified it, they confirmed I can withdraw. But the same things keeps happening. I am waiting to hear what's the next they will come up with.

Can you justify without manipulating.

In my experience, IQ Option is not trustworthy. Whenever I started earning consistently, the payout was changed in ways that didn’t match the market or my trade terms. Trades that should have paid out fairly suddenly had lower payouts or adjusted conditions right when I was winning.
It honestly feels like the payout is being changed when you are earning to reduce your profits. Because of this, I’ve lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the platform. Trading should be risky because of the market—not because the platform changes your payout when you do well. I would not recommend IQ Option to serious traders.
