Print Page - Forex Binary Options with Bitcoin

Update - Technical issues with sign-up and payment gateway have now been fixed.

After six confirmations my payment did show up in the "Deposit/Withdrawal History" after I clicked "My Account", but at the top the Balance still showed $0. I then logged out and once I logged back in the correct balance showed. Later, after the expiry of my first binary option bet, again both the Transaction History and the Deposit / Withdawal History showed the correct balance that I was expecting to see. However, the Balance at the top still showed my balance as it looked at the point I had logged in. After logging out and logging back again, once again the correct amount appeared at the top.

Can't withdraw with bitcoin though.

:(

If you deposit with bitcoin, you can withdraw with bitcoin.

Is it? I don't see that option listed. I saw OK Pay, but later read that withdrawal to OK Pay is only possible if the deposit was from OK Pay as well. The only option I could see for withdrawal asked for bank account number. The FAQ for bank wire withdrawals shows:

- Wire Transfer – $25 USD

My experience with this service was good. The currency pairs offered are:

- EUR/USD
- AUD/USD
- GBP/USD
- USD/CHF
- USD/JPY

I spot checked the rate for the EUR/USD and it matched nearly verbatim with:

I can definitely see this service being interesting to the Bitcoin community.

From the FAQ:

Ioption consulting services Ltd. are not authorised by the FSA to conduct financial services business in the UK or to accept business from persons in the UK.

That's interesting.

~~Not entirely unexpected. I just wanted to make sure this was clear to all reading this post.~~
