Editorial analysis
Deriv is documented here with 200+ assets, a minimum deposit of $5 and expiries from a few seconds to several hours.
Disclosed regulators: MFSA (Malte), BVI Financial Services Commission, Labuan FSA, VFSC (Vanuatu). Check the scope of each licence: it rarely covers binary options for retail clients in every country.
Advertised payout is around 95%. At that level the break-even win rate is 51.3% - before fees and without counting the spread built into every quote.
Deposits and withdrawals use 8 documented rails. Expect the first withdrawal to be gated by identity verification, and expect it to be routed back through the method you used to deposit.
Overall score 8.8/10. The score reflects licence quality, costs, payment coverage, tools, asset breadth, support and demo quality - in that weighting order.
Regulation & licensing
Licensing is the single most important criterion. A platform that is technically reachable from your country is not necessarily authorised there.
Data notes
Les entités du groupe détiennent des licences dans plusieurs juridictions ; les produits accessibles dépendent de l'entité et du pays (les options binaires ne sont pas offertes aux clients de l'EEE via l'entité maltaise). La rentabilité des contrats varie fortement selon le type et la durée.
