IQ Option Product Range by Country

Availability Is Regional

Ask what a platform offers and the accurate answer is a question in return: offers to whom, through which entity, under which rules. Change any one of those and the menu changes with it.

A brand is a name and a website. The thing that actually holds an account, sets its terms and decides which instruments appear on its screens is a legal entity, and a single brand can sit above more than one. This is the structural fact that makes the phrase products by country harder than it sounds, and once it is clear the rest of the page follows from it.

One brand, more than one offer

Registration routes you to an entity. That entity has its own authorisation, its own terms, its own supported payment methods and its own product configuration. Two accounts opened on the same day from two countries can therefore differ in almost every respect while carrying identical branding. Nothing about that is unusual or hidden - the entity is named in the terms you accept - but it does mean that a description of the product range written by someone in another country is describing their entity, not yours.

The three inputs that decide your menu

• The entity. Which legal firm holds the account, and what it is authorised and configured to offer.
• The rules. What applies to that entity and to a client of your classification, which in European rules is a defined category rather than a formality.
• Commercial reach. Which markets the operator is set up to serve, which payment rails work there, where support is staffed.

Only the middle input is law. The other two change on the operator's own timetable, without announcements, which is the main reason published country tables decay.

What that means for a page like this one

It means the useful output is the method rather than the map. We do not publish a country list, a whitelist or a blacklist, and we do not state that any product is or is not offered in any named country, because we hold no verified source for it. What we can do is describe the product families accurately, explain what governs their appearance, and point at the screens where the current answer is kept. The page on what the platform offers now covers the families in more depth.

Product range is assembled per account rather than published per brand, so any description of it carries an unstated entity and an unstated date - including this one.

The EU Bloc

Within the European Union the picture has one documented edge and a good deal of ordinary variation behind it. The edge is the 2018 product-intervention measures, and their scope is narrower than the shorthand suggests.

This is the only section of the page that states a product position, and it does so because a market-wide measure exists on the public record rather than because European accounts are better documented in general.

The one product statement that can be made

In 2018 the European Union introduced product-intervention measures prohibiting the marketing, distribution and sale of binary options to retail clients and restricting leverage on contracts for difference; national regulators later made equivalent measures permanent in their own jurisdictions. It follows that binary options are not part of the retail offer to clients in the European Union. That is a market-wide measure about an instrument class - not an action against any named firm, and not a statement about anywhere else. The timeline page covers it from another angle.

How contracts for difference are shaped for retail clients

A contract for difference tracks the price movement of an underlying without ownership of it, can be held long or short, and uses leverage that magnifies movement in both directions. Costs come from the spread and, on positions held open, from financing. For European retail clients leverage is capped by regulation, and the cap differs by instrument and by client classification - we publish no ratios, spreads or financing rates, because the live numbers sit on the platform's own fee pages and nowhere else reliably. Underlyings are described generically across this site: currency pairs, stocks, indices, commodities and crypto, without an instrument count or a named symbol list.

The rules attached to a European retail account

Several rules apply to the category rather than to any individual firm's conduct: client money for retail clients is subject to segregation requirements, retail accounts carry negative balance protection, and an investor compensation scheme covers eligible clients of investment firms in the relevant member state. We publish no coverage figure and no eligibility test, and describing these as rules is not the same as auditing whether any firm follows them, which we have not done. None of them makes a loss impossible.

The European measure removes one instrument class from the retail menu; everything else about a European account - instruments, costs, leverage - is set by the entity and by classification, and read from the live screens.

Non-EU Markets

Beyond the bloc this page declines to guess, and the reason is worth stating up front: we hold no verified source describing what any entity offers where, and inventing one would be easy and wrong.

What is available outside the EU and EEA depends on the entity the account is registered with and on local rules - the current product list is shown on the official site once you select your country. That sentence appears wherever this question comes up on this site, in the same words, because it is the accurate answer and not a form of words to be varied for style.

Digital options as a product family

A digital option is described here structurally and never commercially. The trader chooses a strike as well as an expiry, and the potential return varies with how far that strike sits from the current price, so the payout is not a single fixed figure. Risk is known before entry. We publish no payout percentage, no minimum stake and no expiry list, and we do not state where the family is offered. The mechanics page goes through the trade ticket in detail, and the structural difference from a binary option is set out alongside it.

Why the word wider does not appear here

A common shorthand holds that access is simply wider outside Europe. We will not write that, in either direction: it is a claim about many jurisdictions and many entities at once, and we have verified none of it. Nor will we assert that binary options under that name are or are not offered by any entity outside the EU or EEA - that is the single most repeated unverified claim in this subject area, and this site does not add to it. The non-EU page holds the same line.

Local rules apply on top of whatever an entity offers

Even where an entity is configured to offer a family, local rules can narrow what a client sees or how it may be presented. Beyond the 2018 EU measure, this review cannot cite what any individual regulator has done, and scope, wording and current status differ by jurisdiction and change over time — so check the register or policy pages of your own regulator before acting.

Product families can be described precisely without being placed on a map, and this site describes them that way on purpose rather than for lack of space.

Restricted Jurisdictions

Some readers will find the sign-up flow stops before it starts. That outcome is informative, but it is routinely over-read, so it is worth being exact about what it does and does not establish.

The heading above uses the word restricted, and the body has to be careful with it. This site never characterises any country as one where a product is legal, illegal, banned or permitted, and nothing in this section should be read that way.

What a blocked sign-up actually tells you

It tells you that the entity behind the brand does not currently onboard clients from that country. That is a commercial and compliance outcome reached inside a firm. It does not identify which rule, if any, produced it; it does not tell you the position your own authority has published; and it is not stable, since operators open and close markets for reasons that never appear on the website. Read it as information about a firm, on a date, and nothing wider - and if you only want to know whether the flow opens at all, the country selector on the official site settles that in under a minute.

Why there is no map on this page

Outside the single EU retail measure described above, we hold no verified statement about the status of this instrument class in any named country, so a status table would be assembled from secondary coverage and presented with unearned confidence. Rules and commercial arrangements both change, and a table published once goes stale silently while readers keep acting on it. Naming the authority you should read stays correct indefinitely; naming a status does not. That trade-off is the reason this page reads the way it does, and the jurisdiction page makes the same choice for the same reason.

The line this site holds

• No country is described as one where a product is legal, illegal, banned or permitted.
• No regulator other than the Cypriot authority named on the register is described as governing anything here; others are named only as the authority a reader should read.
• No claim is made about current availability of any product in any region beyond the EU retail measure.
• Where the answer depends on documents we have not read, the page says so rather than filling the gap.

A closed sign-up is a fact about one firm on one date; treat it as practical information and read your own authority for anything resembling a legal conclusion.

Checking Your Country

Settling this for your own country takes a few minutes and three documents, and the sequence matters because each one answers a question the others cannot.

The point of the page is that you leave able to establish the answer yourself and to re-establish it later, since anything published today is a snapshot. Here is the sequence.

Start with the entity, not the marketing

1. Open the legal or terms section and write down the full entity name that would hold your account. The marketing pages will not tell you this; the terms will.
2. Read what those terms say about the products offered under that entity, and to which class of client.
3. Look the entity up on your own authority's public register, and read the scope of its permission rather than only the status word.
4. Read your authority's own published material on the product category, checking the date and whether the document is a rule, guidance or a consultation.

For the European entity behind this brand, the CySEC public register lists IQBroker Europe Ltd (ex IQOption Europe Ltd) - the entry carries the earlier IQOption Europe Ltd name in brackets - with CIF licence 247/14 dated 30 July 2014, company registration number 327751, and status Authorised as of the check date. Licence and company details were checked against the CySEC public register on September 7, 2026; product availability changes by entity and country and should be confirmed on the official site.

Then read the screens, which outrank every description of them

Once an account exists, the product and funding screens are the current answer by definition. Before one exists, the country selector is the nearest equivalent: choose your country and watch what changes in the entity named, the products presented and the funding methods listed. If what you want is to understand the instruments rather than to check a menu, virtual money is the faster route - open a practice account and read the trade ticket, which states the contract terms more plainly than any article about them.

Re-check rather than trust a list

Entity arrangements, product configurations and rules all move independently, and none of them notifies the pages that describe them. Whatever you establish, establish it again before acting on it months later. The same four checks work on any platform that markets fixed-return trading, and they are worth running before a deposit rather than after one.

Terms first, register second, live screens third - the sequence answers entity, rulebook and menu in that order, and each step is repeatable whenever you need to confirm it again.
