How we review brokers
This page explains exactly how we assess a platform like Quotex, what we can and cannot verify, and how we keep editorial findings separate from the affiliate links that help fund the site.
What we evaluate
Every platform we cover is assessed against the same factors, so our pages stay consistent and comparable. For each factor we describe what we found, then separate what is a documented fact from what is our interpretation.
| Platform access | Which devices and access methods exist, and how usable they are for a beginner. |
|---|---|
| Demo account | How the demo behaves and what it can and cannot prove about real trading. |
| Deposits | Minimum amounts, methods by region, fees and payment-ownership rules. |
| Withdrawals | The flow, KYC triggers, same-method rules, documentation and realistic timing ranges. |
| Bonuses and promos | Turnover/wagering-style conditions and any withdrawal restrictions they create. |
| Fees | Platform costs versus third-party payment or network fees, and currency conversion. |
| Country availability and legality | Where it loads, and the gap between availability and legal authorisation. |
| Support and complaints | Available support paths and patterns in user-reported problems. |
| Security basics | Login protection, account-security options and phishing exposure. |
| Education and risk warnings | Whether risk is communicated honestly, with no profit promises. |
| Comparison | How the platform stacks up against competing brokers on the same factors. |
The limits we are honest about
A review is only trustworthy if it admits what it cannot prove. Our constraints:
- We do not claim live withdrawal or deposit testing unless we hold timestamped proof we can defend. Otherwise we label the work a policy-based and public-documentation review.
- We separate three things clearly: verified facts (from official documents), site observations (what we can see), and editorial interpretation (our judgement).
- We do not state that a platform is regulated, legal in a country, or guaranteed to pay out, unless an official source supports it.
- We do not publish invented user testimonials or fake ratings.
Figures like minimum deposits or demo balances change over time. We present them as commonly reported values to confirm inside the platform, not as fixed promises.
Editorial independence and corrections
This site earns money through affiliate links, and we think the honest response to that is transparency, not denial. Affiliate relationships never change our findings or scores, and we disclose them on every page. If we get something wrong, we want to fix it: corrections can be requested through our contact channels, and material changes are reflected in the "last updated" date on the page.

Frequently asked questions
Not unless we have timestamped proof we can stand behind. Where we have not tested directly, we say so and rely on published policies and user-reported patterns. We never invent payment proof or fake testing.
No. Affiliate links may earn the site a commission, but they do not change our findings, scores or the risks we describe. Commercial CTAs and editorial judgement are kept separate, and the relationship is disclosed on every page.
We separate verified facts, on-site observations and editorial interpretation; avoid guarantees of profit, legality or payout speed; and put risk warnings on every page. A compliance editor reviews trading, payment and safety content.
