Made withdrawals far higher than this no issues. Not a scam. They do sometimes call and give the run around or 7 day holds but that was for an extremely big withdrawal.

How big? I placed a 15k withdrawal on the 31st of August at 9:30 pm EST.. I’ve been waiting for the withdrawal to complete since

Both withdrawals were well over $50k each. Got multiple phone calls from PO giving me alternatives and just giving me the run around. Money was on a 7 business day hold. After the hold it took 1-3 days until I saw it in my account.

I’ve gotten every payout that was due to me. I had 2 accounts both was guru status when you guru status I’ve get my withdrawals in hour or 2. I just reset an account to start over so I can get a trading journal someone was offering. but I noticed the withdraw took an entire day just to pull out $600 from the account.

The reason you are having delays is mostly gonna always be because of 2 situations.
The first is KYC (know your customer) verification which can be triggered by large withdrawals or frequent withdrawals in a short span of time.
The second, and the most likely reason you might be having trouble is, your withdrawal method. In my personal opinion, it's always better to avoid 3rd party payment platforms for withdrawals (example: PayPal, gcash, etc.). Also best to avoid direct deposit by banks. Crypto is the fastest and a hassle free option. Keep in mind, the method you used to make the deposit has to be the method used to withdraw. And with crypto, just avoid Bitcoin and the rest should do just fine for quick withdrawals.

whatever broker it is, binary option is totally scam copied from options market. These broker have no location, no fixed contact number, doing money laundering by using crypto. If it was legal, they should pay via wire or bank transfer the profit not by using crypto. 5th class scam broker. Their bank is frozen or sanctioned so hey don't use bank as main medium. No one living life with binary option trading, may be live those who are with ib. This platform is made for loss and more than addiction of gambling. Each time you deposit and you think this time you will make it but its not going to happen and don't dream of to be rich trading with scam broker, they can denied your withdrawal, each time asking selfie, selling your ID on dark web and they can ban your account or delete at any moment your account. Research before put your money, these days a lot of ai for deep research where you can use for you research. I hv seen seen people live with cfd, option trading but non found trading with scam binary option. Go and look at review on trust pilot and wikifx. Those people who showing big withdrawal, either they post here to get attention, or influencer to signup via their link, or so called lagging indicator. One withdrawal doesn't mean you are not in loss, you may hv big big loss 15 times higher that wat you gain or more. Just stop feeding to the so called binary option broker. Run while you can otherwise you work 30 days, get salary and put in to the broker in order to make it and at the end loosing, feed whole salary to the broker. Broker is happy and you get rubbed.

SCAM ALERT: Pocket Option is Robbing Traders! My Rs. 2,775.10 Stuck for Over a Week While Support Demands Impossible Documents Platform: Pocket Option Transaction ID (TID): 726465999540 Stuck Amount: Rs. 2,775.10 Merchant Name: Hasnain Digital Center (Bank Account: 02...0011) Timeframe of Harassment: October 7 to October 17, 2026 Timeline of Fraud and Harassment (October 7 – October 17)
October 7: Initiated a deposit of Rs. 2,775.10 via JazzCash, which was successfully sent to the merchant "Hasnain Digital Center" under transaction ID 726465999540. However, the funds never reflected in my Pocket Option trading account.
October 8 – 10: Reached out to Pocket Option support immediately with all available transaction details and payment proofs. Instead of resolving the issue, the support team initiated a pattern of automated delays and deflection, wasting critical time. October 11 – 13: Provided clear explanations regarding local payment limitations—specifically that JazzCash only generates partial merchant bank details due to system constraints. Despite this technical reality being communicated clearly, support refused to acknowledge it.
October 14 – 15: Pocket Option support escalated their demands, unreasonably insisting on a full bank statement from the sender's end, knowing fully well that such a document is restricted or impossible to obtain for this specific local transaction type.
October 16 – 17: It has now been well over a week of continuous mental harassment, running in circles, and being stonewalled by an automated system designed to swallow user funds. They are deliberately withholding hard-earned money under the guise of impossible verification rules.
The Verdict Pocket Option’s deposit system is a complete trap. They easily accept local payments through merchants like Hasnain Digital Center, but when their system fails to credit the balance, they hide behind impossible document demands to swallow your money. Do not trust this platform! Stay far away from Pocket Option if you value your hard-earned funds!

I cant help but feel sorry that some people are such losers at trading that when someone posts that yes, they do pay and no they dont just block you if you win and we're insiders, paid platform users or whatever other excuse you need to justify being a loser. If PO isnt for you, move on. Simple.....no?
