Brief informationOpteck
This is the very case when a company provides services to customers from different countries in very different conditions. For citizens of the European Union, Centralspot Trading Ltd operates under this brand with a very decent license from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission.
Anyone who is without EU citizenship is redirected to Opteck.biz, that is owned by the investment firm CST Financial Services Ltd. There is not any regulator here. In the “Complaint Procedure” section, the company offers to write directly to its own support service in which case.
Even if the broker tries very hard, it is not possible to obtain a license in all countries - simply for lack of one. For example, in Russia at the end of 2019, there is no described mechanism for the legal work of a brokerage firm.
Therefore, when residents of the Russian Federation try to access the site, the first thing they see is a notification: sorry, we do not provide services in your region, here are the contacts for more information.
Notifications are extremely noticeable, but not written in small print, for which Optek gets a point.
Trading instruments:
- Forex,
- stocks,

Conclusion about Opteck
Regulation is valid only on the territory of the European Union, and the Cypriot license will not help outside this territory. In which case, traders will have to contact the broker directly, and the procedure for considering applications will take the whole 2 months to respond.
It fazing that there is the only version of the platform. We do not recommend downloading software for trading where it is not laid out for review in the public domain and where there is no demo account for safe testing - and here is the very case. We recommend to be careful.
