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.
