Common Questions
How do I know if a trading website is regulated?
A regulated broker holds a licence from a financial authority such as the FCA in the UK, ASIC in Australia, or CySEC in Cyprus. Each regulator maintains a public register. Entering a firm’s name or registration number into that register confirms whether the licence is genuine and current.
What does a review on this site actually cover?
Each review examines the website’s stated regulatory status, ownership details, contact information, fee disclosures, and any complaints on public record. The aim is to give a factual picture so readers can weigh the information themselves before making a decision.
What are common warning signs on investment websites?
Pressure to deposit quickly, guaranteed return promises, vague company addresses, and unverifiable licences are frequently documented warning signs. Legitimate brokers publish audited accounts, name their directors, and are listed on a regulator’s official register under a verifiable licence number.
I found a website I cannot identify. Where do I start?
Search the site name in the reviews here, then cross-check the licence number it claims against the relevant regulator’s public register. If the domain was registered very recently, that detail is visible through a WHOIS lookup and is worth noting before proceeding further.
Can I speak to someone if I have already had a problem with a website?
Reviews on this site include a form linking to independent legal partners. Those partners are qualified advisers who can assist with filing reports to the relevant financial regulator or law enforcement authority. Submitting a consultation request through the form is the first step in that process.
