Full analysis
Overview
IQ Option is an online trading platform presenting forex, stocks, and ETFs to visitors, with account login and sign-up functions as part of its apparent retail trading business model.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No phishing, impersonation, blacklist, malicious-content, or conflicting-identity indicators were observed. The site’s established domain history, clean external reputation, stable page delivery, and absence of credential-harvesting or wallet-draining behavior support a legitimate assessment. A third-party broker dataset contains a contextual withdrawal-related exposure signal, but this does not establish fraud or contradict the site’s identity.
- Registered 2013-04-10; domain age approximately 13.32 years, based on the domain registration record.
- External reputation checks recorded 0 malicious and 0 suspicious detections, with no blacklist hit.
- The homepage was delivered successfully with HTTP status 200; no hidden forms, external password forms, wallet-drainer runs, or clipboard-hijacking activity were detected.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The homepage identifies the service as a forex, stocks, and ETF trading platform. A domain-exact third-party broker record associates the service with SKY LADDER LLC in Antigua and Barbuda and records regulated status with a license found; this is contextual reputational evidence rather than an independent legal or regulatory determination. Registration privacy is an administrative detail and does not create an identity contradiction.
- The homepage title states “Forex, Stocks & ETFs Trading” and offers login or sign-up.
- The domain registration record lists 101Domain as registrar, with expiration scheduled for 2028-04-10.
- Hosted on AS203976, QUAD CODE (GB) LTD, Gibraltar.
- TLS certificate issued by YR1 using DV validation, valid to 2026-09-13.
What to Verify Next
Before undertaking regulated financial activity, the applicable authorization and legal entity should be confirmed through the relevant official regulator’s registry, with the entity name and service scope matched to the platform. Standard account and contact details should also be cross-checked through an independently sourced official channel.
- The third-party broker record identifies SKY LADDER LLC and records a regulated status with a license found.
- The site presents account login and sign-up functions on its homepage.
- The registration record identifies Digital Privacy Corporation as the privacy organization for the registrant.
Summary Verdict
The website presents as a legitimate, established, and trustworthy online trading service with no observed scam or impersonation contradictions. Normal interaction, including account login and standard use, is appropriate.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to one likely origin address rather than a detected CDN edge, while its hosting is provided through AS203976, QUAD CODE (GB) LTD, in Gibraltar. The transport layer uses a valid DV certificate issued by YR1, providing a baseline protective control.
Closing Assessment
Normal platform use is appropriate, subject to the ordinary financial, regulatory, and transaction controls expected for online trading services.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about iqoption.com at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
