Broker Summary
What Wikilix has recorded about Pocket Option Guides: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.
Pocket Option Guides Overview
Pocket Option Guides is an information website about the online broker Pocket Option, not a broker itself. It describes itself as an independent informational website and an unofficial Pocket Option partner website, and it publishes guides to registering with Pocket Option, logging in, the demo account, the apps and promo codes. Every sign-up, login and download button on the site is an affiliate link to Pocket Option's registration page.
The address on record, pocketoptionguides.com, now forwards visitors to potradinglearn.com, which carries the Pocket Option Guides name in its footer and is published in nine languages.
Is Pocket Option Guides Regulated?
No. The site's terms state that it is not regulated by any financial authority, and WIKILIX holds no licence record for it. Because it offers no trading and holds no client money, the regulatory position that matters to anyone who registers through it is Pocket Option's own, which is a separate question.
Is Pocket Option Guides Safe?
Pocket Option Guides takes no deposits, so a reader's money is never held by the site itself. The material points are what the site is: it names no company or person behind it, its terms describe its content as informational and for entertainment purposes, and its statements about trading conditions, payouts and bonuses are statements about Pocket Option. Its home page title, 'Pocket Option Trading: PO Trade Broker', and its header logo lead with the Pocket Option name, and its login and registration guides suggest using a VPN when Pocket Option's site cannot be reached from a reader's country.
Pocket Option Guides Account Types
Pocket Option Guides offers no trading account, live or demo. Its Register, Login and Demo Account pages are guides whose buttons open Pocket Option's registration, so any account a reader ends up with is a Pocket Option account. The table of loyalty levels on its home page, from Beginner to VIP Elite, describes Pocket Option's loyalty programme, which the page itself says is separate from trading account types.
Pocket Option Guides Trading Platforms
The site runs no trading platform and hosts no app. Its Mobile App and Download for PC pages explain how to install Pocket Option's own apps, but their download buttons lead to Pocket Option's registration page rather than to an app store listing or an installer.
Pocket Option Guides Deposits and Withdrawals
Pocket Option Guides takes no deposits and pays no withdrawals, and its terms contain no deposit, withdrawal or fee clause. What its pages say about payment methods, commission-free funding and minimum deposits describes Pocket Option's cashier, which a reader reaches only after registering with Pocket Option.
The deposit bonuses the site advertises, of 50% to 60% through promo codes, are Pocket Option promotions applied on Pocket Option's deposit page. The site's own promo code FAQ says the trading volume a bonus requires ranges from 20 to 50 times the bonus amount.
Pocket Option Guides Support
The site publishes no email address, phone number, postal address, live chat or social media account, so there is no way to contact Pocket Option Guides itself. The customer support its pages describe, including live chat and round-the-clock help, is Pocket Option's.
Pocket Option Guides Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Guides to Pocket Option's registration, login, demo account, apps and promo codes, in nine languages.
Cons:
- Not the official Pocket Option website, and not regulated by any financial authority.
- Every sign-up, login and download button is an affiliate link to Pocket Option.
- Names no company or person behind it and publishes no contact details.
- Suggests using a VPN where Pocket Option's site cannot be reached.
Pocket Option Guides Review and Assessment
Pocket Option Guides is a referral site for Pocket Option, not a place to trade or deposit. Anyone who registers through its buttons becomes a client of Pocket Option, on Pocket Option's terms, so the broker to assess before opening or funding an account is Pocket Option itself, from its own website and documents rather than from this site's guides.

How we know — 10 sources
- 1Pages read on 2026-10-23: pocketoptionguides.com now forwards to potradinglearn.com, keeping the path (checked on the home page and the terms page), and those pages carry the Pocket Option Guides name in their titles and footer copyright line; every finding below comes from that site.
- 2Terms and Conditions (https://potradinglearn.com/terms-and-conditions/, last updated September 24, 2026): no clause names a country the site refuses or accepts. The terms say the site is not the official Pocket Option website, that it "should be regarded purely as informational and for entertainment purposes", and that "It is your responsibility to verify the legality of trading binary options, CFDs, forex, digital trading, and ensure compliance with age requirements in your jurisdiction".
- 3Account opening: the site has no registration form or country list of its own. Its Register page (https://potradinglearn.com/sign-up/) is a guide whose buttons all lead to Pocket Option's own registration, and the footer says "This is an unofficial Pocket Option partner website. Clicking any button will take you to the official Pocket Option Broker site for registration." The terms add that a third-party site is "a separate agreement with that website, which is not governed by our terms", so Pocket Option's registration is not this site's onboarding.
- 4No restricted-countries, accepted-countries, FAQ, AML/KYC, deposit and withdrawal, or partner page is published: none is linked from the site or listed in its sitemap (https://potradinglearn.com/page-sitemap.xml), and the site's own search for "restricted countries" returns only the promo-code guide.
- 5Geography is mentioned only in general terms, with no country named: the promo-code FAQ says "Most codes work globally, but some may be geo-restricted to certain regions only" (https://potradinglearn.com/promo-code/); the login guide says "here we always have working and available links for all countries" and suggests "a VPN service to change your IP address" when the broker's site is inaccessible (https://potradinglearn.com/login/); the Register guide answers "Why Can't I Register at PocketOption?" with "Use a vpn with another country to visit the site" (https://potradinglearn.com/sign-up/). These put no country on either list.
- 6Language versions linked by the site: Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Mexico), French (Morocco), Indonesian, Arabic, Italian, German and Polish. Several are aimed at named markets, for example "página oficial de registro no Brasil" (https://potradinglearn.com/pt/sign-up/), "Los usuarios de México y otros países hispanohablantes siempre tienen acceso a la plataforma" (https://potradinglearn.com/es-mx/login/), and Morocco and Indonesia in the French and Indonesian register guides. These are statements about registering with a third-party broker, not this site's own onboarding, so no accepted country was recorded.
- 7Footer risk warning (the same on every language version): it warns that trading CFDs on margin carries high risk and describes the site as unofficial or as a Pocket Option partner; it names no country the site is not directed at.
- 8Licence scope: the site names no operating company and its terms say it is not regulated by any financial authority, so no licence filing can support a code.
- 9Iran: no page on the site mentions Iran, and it publishes no Persian-language version, Persian partner page or rial funding information, so IR is in no list.
- 10Result: all four lists are empty because the site publishes no country policy of its own. This is a reading of this site only, not a statement that every country is accepted, and it says nothing about Pocket Option's own onboarding.
