GO Markets Broker Overview
GO Markets is a CFD broker that says it has served traders since 2006. Its international English site, gomarkets.com/en, is run by GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU), a Mauritius company licensed by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius, while sister companies in Australia, Cyprus, Seychelles and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines serve other regions from their own sections of the GO Markets site. Clients trade CFDs on forex, indices, shares, commodities, bonds and ETFs and cryptocurrencies on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and TradingView, through a Standard account or a commission-based GO Plus+ account, both advertised with leverage of up to 500:1.
GO Markets does not accept clients from the United States, and its registration form does not offer residents of several other countries, including Canada, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Israel, Russia, Vietnam and Mauritius.
GO Markets Regulation and License
Each GO Markets company holds its own licence, and a client is covered by the licence of the company that opens the account. WIKILIX checked all four licences on the regulators' registers on 20 October 2026:
- GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU), Mauritius, the company behind gomarkets.com/en: listed on the FSC Mauritius register. The register has no page for each firm, and the licence number GB 19024896 is the one the broker prints; the broker describes the licence as Investment Dealer (Full Service Dealer, excluding Underwriting).
- GO Markets Pty Ltd, Australia (ACN 081 864 039): Australian financial services licence 254963, listed as current by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). The licence commenced on 10 March 2004 and covers dealing in and making a market for derivatives and foreign exchange contracts for retail and wholesale clients. The broker names this company as the issuer of its CFDs to Australian clients.
- GO Markets Ltd, Cyprus (HE 351644, formerly Galactus Ltd): Cyprus Investment Firm licence 322/17 from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), for reception and transmission of orders, execution of orders on behalf of clients and dealing on own account. CySEC's approved domains for the company are gomarkets.eu and gomarkets.com/en-eu.
- GO Markets International Ltd, Seychelles (8425985-1): listed by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) as a securities dealer. The FSA list gives no licence numbers, so the number SD043 comes from the broker's own site. The company serves clients of gomarkets.com/en-int.
GO Markets LLC, which contracts with clients of gomarkets.com/en-svg, is a Saint Vincent and the Grenadines company (Business Company No. 332 LLC 2020). That is a company registration, not a financial licence.
Is GO Markets Regulated?
Yes. Four GO Markets companies appear on the registers of their regulators, the FSC of Mauritius, ASIC, CySEC and the Seychelles FSA, as WIKILIX confirmed on 20 October 2026. Only the licence of the company that holds the account applies: a client who signs up through gomarkets.com/en deals with GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU) under Mauritian supervision, not with the ASIC-licensed Australian company or the CySEC-licensed Cyprus company.
GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU)
GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU) is a Mauritius Global Business Company with an office in Ebene. WIKILIX confirmed its registration in Mauritius on 20 October 2026: company number C170969, incorporated on 20 February 2020, so the operating company is younger than the 2006 start date the brand gives. Its Terms and Conditions (September 2025) are governed by the laws of Mauritius, give the courts of Mauritius exclusive jurisdiction, and state that GO Markets acts as principal and market maker on client trades, quoting its own prices and possibly holding positions contrary to its clients'.
Is GO Markets Safe?
GO Markets is a long-running group with licensed companies, but a client's protection depends on which company holds the account and on that company's terms. Under the Terms and Conditions of GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU) (September 2025), client money is paid into a segregated client bank account, yet segregation does not protect it from loss, it may be pooled with other clients' money, GO Markets keeps the interest, and GO Markets may draw on it to hedge or offset the risk it runs on its clients' trades. Money moved to a liquidity provider is no longer held in trust.
The same terms let GO Markets withhold a withdrawal while a client has unrealised losses, margin requirements or amounts owing. If it believes a client has manipulated its prices or exploited pricing or technology, including price latency arbitrage, it may treat profitable positions as void, withhold the funds involved and close the account without notice. The terms name no compensation scheme for the Mauritius company, and WIKILIX found none for the Seychelles company. Clients of the Australian company are covered by ASIC's retail CFD rules and external dispute resolution, and eligible retail clients of GO Markets Ltd in Cyprus by the Investor Compensation Fund, up to 20,000 EUR for eligible claims and never for trading losses.
GO Markets Account Types
On gomarkets.com/en there are two live accounts. The Standard account has spreads from 0.8 pips and charges no commission on forex and metals, with costs built into the spread. The GO Plus+ account, which GO Markets aims at high-volume and EA traders, has spreads from 0.0 pips plus a forex commission. Both can be opened as individual, joint, trust or company accounts, and the broker says it also offers a swap-free Islamic account, for which its account types page gives no further terms.
The minimum deposit is stated two ways. The FAQ says there is no minimum to open a live account and that traders often start with about US$200, while the Disclosure Statement (June 2024) says the minimum first deposit is generally AUD 200, subject to change.
GO Markets Spreads, Commissions and Fees
The GO Plus+ commission applies to forex only and is charged per side per standard lot in the account's base currency: US$2.50, AU$3.00, CA$3.00, CHF 2.50, EUR 2.00, GBP 2.00, HK$20, NZ$3.50 or SG$3.50. Commodities, indices, cryptocurrencies and bonds carry no commission on that account. Share CFDs are charged 2 US cents per share on US shares, 0.18% on Hong Kong shares (minimum HKD 50) and 0.08% on Australian shares, and market data fees apply to the Hong Kong and Australian markets. Positions held overnight are charged or credited a swap that includes a mark-up GO Markets sets itself, and currency conversions use a rate GO Markets selects and may carry a conversion fee.
GO Markets Leverage
The account types page and the FAQ give leverage of up to 500:1 on both accounts. The broker's cTrader page, however, states leverage of up to 30:1 for retail clients.
GO Markets Trading Platforms
GO Markets offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android and in the browser through GO WebTrader, cTrader on desktop, mobile and the web, and TradingView, from which Standard and GO Plus+ accounts can trade at no extra charge. Copy trading is available through cTrader Copy and, for MetaTrader, through the Client Portal, which also hosts PAMM accounts, and a VPS is free for MetaTrader users who trade at least 10 standard forex or gold lots a month.
GO Markets Deposits and Withdrawals
The funding page lists Visa and Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, local bank transfers in Thai baht, Malaysian ringgit and Indonesian rupiah, international bank transfers in 13 currencies and USDT. Card, local transfer and USDT deposits are credited within an hour, e-wallet deposits in 1 to 2 hours and international transfers in 1 to 2 business days. The FAQ also names PayID, BPAY and PayPal, and the methods available vary by country.
Withdrawals go back to the original funding source and only to an account in the client's name. The deposits page says withdrawal requests are typically processed within 24 hours, the FAQ says one to two business days, and first withdrawals can take 1 to 3 business days; these are processing times, before the bank or wallet delivers the money.
The website advertises 0% deposit fees and no internal fees on deposits or withdrawals, but the legal documents allow for charges: the Disclosure Statement (June 2024) sets a handling fee of 1.8% on card deposits in AUD and 3% in other currencies, and the Terms and Conditions (September 2025) reserve an administration fee on card payments and let GO Markets pass on funding fees it has covered. Bank and payment-provider charges may also apply.
GO Markets Support
GO Markets says support is available 24/7 by email at support.mu@gomarkets.com and by live chat. The Mauritius company also lists the phone number +230 5869 0074, and its help centre offers an FAQ and remote help through TeamViewer QuickSupport. Disputes go through GO Markets' internal dispute resolution procedure, and neither the help centre nor the terms publish a separate complaints email.

GO Markets Review and Assessment
GO Markets pairs a wide CFD range, four mainstream platforms and clearly published commissions with a group structure in which each regional site has its own contracting company, and the group's four licences were confirmed on the regulators' registers. The point that matters most before funding an account is which company holds it: on gomarkets.com/en that is GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU), supervised by the FSC of Mauritius, and its Terms and Conditions and Disclosure Statement, including the card deposit fees and the clauses on hedging, withdrawals and voided trades, are the documents that apply.
