Why You Can Trust BinaryOptions.Net

BinaryOptions.net is a long-standing resource on binary options trading. Since 2011, we’ve published over 1,720 articles with more than 1.7 million words, helping over 375,000 users from 195 countries.

Built By Binary Traders, For Binary Traders

The content on BinaryOptions.net is written, edited and fact-checked by professionals working in finance, including experienced binary traders. The Head of BinaryOptions.net, Tobias Robinson, has over 30 years in the industry and has placed more than 2,000 binary trades across a huge range of timeframes.

Our team also includes former full-time traders, who have used and evaluated most major binary options platforms in the market – opening accounts, running firsthand tests, and logging results. This hands-on experience feeds into the more than 4,200 data points we’ve collected on firms in our evolving binary broker database.

Alongside the direct experience of our team which informs our trading guides, broker reviews, and other resources, we also follow a strict references policy. We cite primary sources, such as financial regulators, and use verifiable data, helping ensure we produce content our readers can trust.

The Industry Doesn’t Stand Still, So Neither Do We

The binary options industry has changed a lot over the years, from the major regulatory updates of the late 2010s and the over 50 binary firms we’ve seen shut their doors, to the evolution of binary-style products like digital options and prediction markets.

That’s why we’re constantly working to keep our resources up to date, with pages revisited, for example, when regulations evolve, or new technologies emerge. Each page has a public timestamp showing when it was last updated.

Our broker reviews are also regularly refreshed as we conduct further tests or as trading conditions change, while our awards reflect brands that have delivered the most for traders in the preceding period.

Additionally, we run a community forum, that since 2013 has hosted over 2,040 discussions with binary traders at every level on all manner of topics, and it remains active today.

Safety First

The binary options space has attracted scams and fraudulent operators over the years. That’s why we take user safety seriously, investing time into building practical tools for our visitors and issuing clear warnings.

Our country legality checker helps visitors quickly understand the legal status of binary options trading where they live. We also maintain a global regulator database with over 420 financial bodies, grouped into four tiers to help traders gauge the strength of potential oversight.

Additionally, we maintain lists of suspected binary trading scams based on warning signs such as customer complaints, regulatory misconduct, and lack of transparency. We’ve flagged dozens of suspicious binary brands.

And if traders do experience unfair practices, our complaints guidance explains what to do and how to let us know so we can inform the wider binary options community.

Transparent Operations

We’re transparent about how BinaryOptions.net is funded so we can create high-quality content that is kept up to date and free to use for our readers.

We partner with some brands that are shown on the site following careful selection, and we publicise a list of current partners in our footer advertising disclosure, which is just one click away from every page on the site.

Crucially, brokers cannot pay for higher ratings. Our reviews are based on an impartial broker testing process that our analysts follow without influence from our commercial team.

Bottom Line

BinaryOptions.net is a well-established resource built and maintained by experienced binary traders and industry experts.

Despite risks, we recognize some traders will still be interested in binaries due to their relative simplicity and accessibility, so we aim to keep traders informed, highlight any risks, and point traders to secure ways to trade where possible.

With the internet home to lots of misleading and even false information about binary options trading, we hold ourselves to high standards to ensure traders can trust what they read on BinaryOptions.net.
