Pocket Option Wins ‘Best Overall Broker’ in BinaryOptions.net’s 2025 Awards

After going head-to-head with every active broker in our 20-strong database, Pocket Option came out on top in BinaryOptions.net’s 2025 Awards – winning five categories, including ‘Best Overall Binary Broker’.

Tobias Robinson, Head of BinaryOptions.net’s Testing Panel, commented on the results: “Pocket Option has clearly invested in their binary offering, with a greater breadth of expiry times, an AI trading feature, and over 180 tradeable assets, providing the full package for active traders.”

Pocket Option Award Wins

Best Overall Broker

Pocket Option scooped the top prize in our 2025 binary broker awards for impressing in the key areas that matter to aspiring traders.

Payouts regularly topped 90% in our tests, while the raft of extra features, notably signals, social trading, tournaments, and perks for ‘achievements’, provide a comprehensive trading environment.

The web-accessible trading platform also impressed our testers with its slick trading interface and sophisticated charting package, including 4 chart types, 14 timeframes, and over 30 indicators.

Ultimately, in a competitive landscape, Pocket Option demonstrated that it can meet the needs of all types of traders, from beginners to seasoned traders.

Best Market Offering

On top of its overall win, Pocket Option also stood out for the depth and variety of markets on offer, with more than 180 instruments split across currencies, stocks, indices, commodities, and crypto.

This includes major forex pairs like EUR/USD, US technology stocks like Tesla, prominent global indices like the FTSE 100, precious metals like gold, energies such as natural gas, and well-known cryptos like Bitcoin, catering to diverse trading interests.

The ability to ‘double up’ and ‘rollover’ positions adds extra flexibility for traders looking to capitalize on short-term price movements.

Best Payouts

Pocket Option also came out on top for payouts, combining strong headline rates with rare consistency between what’s advertised and what traders could actually receive.

We ran live payout tests for every binary firm in our directory in 2025, measuring the difference between advertised payouts and the payouts our team observed in the platform across four assets (EUR/USD, Bitcoin, S&P 500, gold) and two sessions (peak vs off-peak).

Pocket Option scored the best for payout transparency, typically coming in within 0-2% of advertised rates during peak hours, and 2–12% lower in off-peak, with EUR/USD and BTC being the most stable, and the S&P 500 and gold drifting the most.

Best Range of Expiry Times

Pocket Option likewise ranked first for expiry flexibility, offering one of the strongest ranges of contract durations, from ultra-fast trades to longer swing-style setups.

Binary contracts in the platform now finish in as little as 3 seconds (the lowest we’ve seen at any binary provider), having previously been 5 seconds. Medium-term traders are also better catered for, with contracts lasting up to 1 month, where they previously finished after 4 hours.

Best For Product Upgrades

While many providers have stood still, introducing limited improvements to their offering, Pocket Option has been busy, helping it pick up our top prize for product upgrades.

It’s brought in a greater range of contract expiries and tradeable assets. It has also been among the first binary firms to act on the growing interest in artificial intelligence amongst retail investors, introducing ‘AI Trading’.

While more details about the logic behind its trading decisions could be provided, and there’s no guarantee of profits, Pocket Option’s AI trading tool automatically scans the market to find and act on short-term trading opportunities.

Committed to Active Traders

Our annual awards recognise binary brokers who stand out. In 2025, Pocket Option was the clear winner – investing in its products and services to give active traders the tools they need to trade global markets with confidence.

After winning five award categories and consistently impressing our team, who spent many hours using the Pocket Option platform, we hope it continues to put clients first.
