eToro

Nice and easy platform,but the fees !!read and fully understand their fees before investing.
I got screwed in the ass with rollover fees on Wednesday evening and other “surprises”
read their T&C !!! before investing a penny

Easy platform ,but every second week they are updating and changing their fees, one day its x the next Y..
If you dont have the botheration of checking their fees on crypto trading daily – it will cost YOU as it did me with % and rollover charges that “appeared” out of no where.
UNDERSTAND EVERY fee before investing !

Probably the worst customer support I’ve ever experienced in my life. With all the bad things they’ve done to their clients, I’m just wondering why is it not yet flagged as SCAM? Anyway, would suggest y’all to stay away from this broker

Trying to withdraw money on a verified account. It’s been days and they haven’t paid it out. I’ve been trying to reach out to their customer service, I opened a ticket, its been days without answer or update or anything, they have no phone to call and their live chat is down/not working. All I get is a facade keeping my money.
It feels extremely sketchy, I am definitely never using it again.

Cannot even withdrawn using bank deposit. When i received email that the withdrawn was approved, but to my NOT ALREADY IN USE Credit card, in their reply is they will refund to the original methods of deposit, then the rest to the method preferred. . just know few guys also from singapore facing the same issues.

Avoid EToro at all cost!! cant withdraw money back to the same account the fund was deposited from… they asked me to goto my bank and confirm the account belongs to me! I have the card/statements, online login etc.. I have also sent proof of my passport/bank account (2 of them), credit card account, council tax account…

from the evidence I gave, I would have no problem proving my id to a tier 1 bank!
Etor takes your money in seconds but it will take months to try to get it back…

After reading reviews about etoro was initially hesitant…but last December decided to take a punt..again heard about all these withdrawal issues… Decided to cash out a significant amount to take profit…. Took 3 to 4 days but every penny that I withdrew came back into the accounts in which I deposited from… The amount of money was significantly more than I put in and therefore there was a lot of profit..but there were no issues at all… Seems to be a lot of these complaints are coming from people that have lost money on their investments… I personally have found etoro to be a very safe and friendly service to use.. hopefully this will continue long into the future..

From my experience, I learnt that eToro rips you off in the following ways. First, they close your orders when they make too much profit or when they make too much loss, fixating the loss, when the position has all chances to recover. Second, they take your money and hold them as hostage, inventing different causes to not withdraw your money. They create verification troubles (after you deposit money, of course). When you sign up and submit your ID, it successfully verificates and allows you to deposit, but once they receive your money, it suddenly comes out that there is some error. They can also not withdraw money without any reasons. Third, besides their inadequate spreads, they use vile techniques to make them even worse. When you execute an order, in history it appears as executed at worse prices, probably because of their “indicative” and “dealing” prices nonsense. Technically, they warn about it in the agreement, so they can execute any order at any price they want, different from what you see. Third, I can’t say if it’s intentionally or just because the platform is finished trash, but they have weird moves on their chart, price fluctuations that don’t appear anywhere else. Fourth, they don’t have stop-losses on cryptocurrency and where stop-losses exist they sometimes trigger at worse prices (obviously).

Last, they appear to be regulate by CySEC, but it doesn’t mean much. People want to believe in CySEC, probably, because their money is in eToro. I recommend you to not lie to yourself. I searched for other cases when CySEC was useless, not taking down “technically legitimate, but practically scam” projects. Some eToro customers get their accounts blocked in an insolent way, without explanation, without any ability to contact support, unable to withdraw money. Where is CySEC? eToro can without shame ignore people, holding their money. If CySEC was a thing, eToro would’ve been either taken down in 2017, or warned to stop such behavior. But nothing happens to them, they become even more insolent. I only wonder why does FCA not take actions? Maybe British customers don’t have problems?

I can only wish good luck to everyone to resolve your cases and claim your money back. Make it a habit to read reviews before depositing money to a Cypriot trading platform. I heard, Israel does not prosecute people for financial crimes committed outside of Israel.

Etoro has been deregulated in New Zealand and they didn’t notify me. I had to dump trades as everything became unavailable in my country (forex and commodities etc). As I can’t trade I withdrew my funds and am still charged full fees. Unfair, they should have at least waived withdraw fees for their inability to comply with regulations in a country they allowed sign up.

I sent money to my new eToro account after opening it to ‘buy bitcoin’. ‘Buy and Sell Bitcoin – Real-Time BTC Price Chart on eToro’ says their site. The problem is you can’t buy Bitcoin on eTorro nor any other crypto, you can only open a trading position in it. So will the $10 deposit fee plus the $25 withdrawl fee be reimbursed to me? $35 down because of false advertising.

This team don’t give a f321 about customers. I used eToro for 3 years without any problem, but finally those guys showed their real face.

I copied for a while a trade ‘AimsTrader’. Today, 20 November 2018, he had 2 traders with SL that was reached and closed. On trader account! On copiers’ accounts not only the traders didn’t closed, but some extra trades appear. I ended up with losses from close them manually due bad market.

I spoke with etoro team and they told me that I have to search trades and then maybe they will find a solution. Me! This is actually my job, my mistake, and I have to find the extra trades (system errors) and not them. Me!

This is etoro after all, I don’t have any reason to make them a bad image, I lost a small amount, but there were players who lost up to 800$.

My advice is to avoid this service, there are a lot services better than this one, but this is your choice. Sorry for my bad english.

I have been trading with Etoro for a while due to ease of use compared to some other trading platforms and the promise that you own the real coins which I have found is not really the case. They are misselling CFDs as real crypto assets. I had my trading position of worth $1500 closed long before the coin reached 0 value (BCH). To make things worse this platform does not benefit traders with any coin forks and disable trading for unusal long times when a fork happens. Hence not allowing trader to sell their trades in good time. In past they closed all the position ‘due to technical error’ for EOS without any notification as well

I will recommend to avoid this platform as the spreads are really high, customer service is very poor and the way they deal with your money is very shoddy.

eToro are crooks. Among a plethora scam tactics, one is to delay opening markets, sometimes by 5, 6, even 7 minutes so that users cannot close positions at opening; often resulting in greater-than-necessary losses, or positions hitting stop losses. Customer service either say the delays are to protect customers (how, they do not say) or they arrogantly state ‘read the Ts & Cs, we can open markets when we like’. eToro are scum, eToro are unethical, eToro are crooks. Avoid.

Do not use etoro to buy crypto currencys they hold you to ransom of getting your couns off the exchange ! I was even a gold member and still was not allowed to take them off the exchange. Remember if you cant take the coins off the exchange you dont own the crypto!!! . Also really bad customer service too as i credited my account with funds they was not added to my account,there answer was a simple (sorry no funds added here ) . After a paypal dispute and evidence of the transaction and after locking all my account down they finally admitted there mistake . This took around 6 weeks to sort out with my account being totally locked out ,all being there fault . Then just a simple apology on email

Hi all,

Recently etoro take me all my profit from trading $ 4866.44, and they say that i will never get back my money ,they say that they doesn’t support trading on market events,i have all mail and documents if somebody want to look,be careful with this broker!

regards

I added funds using paypal into my etoro account. However, even a week later the funds didnt show up on any of my two etoro accounts. I contacted Etoro to inquire and they stated they never received the funds. I contacted paypal and opened a dispute. Paypal sided with me and refunded my money when they didnt hear from Etoro for 2 weeks. After that, I trying to deposit money again using paypal and I see that my Etoro accounts have been suspended. I inquired as to why this has happened and Etoro comes back and asks me to cancel the dispute I had opened and they will process the payment in my account. Are these people this incompetent that they dont understand how Paypal’s dispute resolution works? Once a dispute has been “settled” by paypal, there is nothing anyone (payor or payee) can do from their side. I am going to go to another forex broker for good. what a bunch of incompetent people do thay have working here. Wish I read the scam reports earlier and didnt open an account with Etoro.

Traders who have been scammed before,my advise out there is for you to be wise before you invest in any binary option trade or broker,i was scammed $120000USD by online broker but at last i found someone who help me to recover all my lost funds back from a scam that shocked my capital with an unregulated broker,if you need assistance with regards of your lost funds from your broker or maybe your broker manager is asking you to make more deposit before you could make a withdrawal or your account has been manipulated by your broker manager or your broker has blocked your account just because they need you to make more deposit to your account.if you’re interested in getting all your lost funds back get in contact with debinaryrecovery@gmail, com

Honest feedback,

I’ve been with eToro for a few months already and I have a mix of emotions about the website and their policy.

once you get verified it’s really easy to deposit money and as a person with no finance background the option to follow traders it’s definitely a big plus and it’s while I’m going to keep doing.

the only reason why I give a 3stars (honestly would be 3.5) and not 5 it’s because I find it impossible to understand the reason why they charge a fee of U$S25 for a withdrawal which is something that at least using PayPal or bank transfer should be free and even if it’s a small amount it’s a big issue for small investors.

Once that is changed would be happy to give them 5 stars.

Etoro – Gets one star because I can’t give it anything less. If it were up to me, it would get nothing at all. – Trustpilot, please take note!

Things investors need to know:

1 – Etoro does NOT provide any evidence that real crypto assets have been purchased and secured for their customers.

That’s right, etoro uses phrases such as ‘its a security issue’ to try and walk away from this. The reality, however, is you have absolutely no control over your assets and they are willing to go to all sorts of extremes not to give them to you (If they really have them?). In a nutshell, the only way you will be able to do so is through the legal framework, if you are lucky.

2 – Etoro does not allow the transfer of crypto assets for all customers. They will only allow the transfer of crypto assets that were purchased using wire transfer – something they never even informed their customers about when they advertised ”BUY crypto on etoro!!”.
Furthermore, Transfers are ONLY available for Upper tier members, namely Platinum and Gold. – Such discriminatory behaviour is, in fact, illegal, at least here in Europe.

Dear Etoro, did the rest of your tier members on your platform such as silver and bronze pay any less for their crypto?

3 – Customer service is absolutely terrible. They ignore complaints, mark them as solved when in actual fact, they aren’t and even worse, they complain if you open up a new case for them to resolve the one they actually closed! #Beyondbelief

4 – The spreads on this platform are disgusting.

Conclusion: Do NOT, under any circumstances, invest in etoro.
Etoro is a platform that is there to take your hard earned cash to grow its business – they have no interest in anything else.

Word of warning to you all: Stay away from it like the plague.

PS Etoro: If you are thinking of commenting back on this I suggest you take a seat. There are more of us on the way here. The usual ”Thanks for reaching out” nonsense isn’t going to cut it this time. Investors have the right to know the truth.

Yesterday i opend 3 seperate trades of 100 dollar on Aurora Cannabis Inc(ACB).
And i had 130 dollar left in my wallet.
Then now i looked at my portofolio and one of the 3 trades turned into 230 dollar with still the same amount of units as the 100 dollar trades and the 130 dollar from my wallet is gone!
Even when the price is rising it keeps the same as the 100 dollar trades what is this kind of madness?!

don’t trust etoro they took money from my debit card without my authorization as they store your card information they can take money from it and can’t give me explaination about it run away from this site. yes it has the ability to do it since they took my money i have contacted them they just block my account when i try to login it says : Your account is blocked. Need assistance? they took money from my card and block the account when i contact them . yes they know that live in latin america and it will be really dificult for me to go to court with them please run away from this fraudulent company

It’s high time we get wise and start thinking straight before this bad traders fully take us for granted I can remember trading with them 2 years ago with about 75,000 euros though I got my money back I only want to share my experience. After 3 months of trading I wanted to withdraw but I was given a withdrawal limit that I couldn’t exceed I coped and withdrew what I got access to though I wasn’t comfortable with what they said but I had no choice after another 3 months again I prompted for withdrawal hoping my account limit would have gone up but surprisingly my account was locked already I was honestly shocked I contacted them still they stopped responding so I understood what happened I contacted my friend and explained how the whole thing went I’m glad we were able to find a lasting solution by contacting hackprince6atgmaildotcom you can reach out to him as well I can count on him.

BIG SCAM – They will sell you with with their “amazing” service and call you after you signup. DO NOT TRADE with them! I haven’t got my money worth $2000 USD and they kept on doing alibis and won’t help you on their end. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP YOU INVESTIGATE YOUR MONEY. You do it on your own

I have lost funds to different binary options brokers and this almost ruined me because I had to hire a lawyer to look into it but nothing worked to get my funds back . i trusted this last broker at kayafx with 150,000GBP and lost it but I found a recovery firm that specializes in funds recovery and they helped me trace the funds and recovered 80% of the investments with the profits. If not this firm my life would be in total ruins, I dont think its right to lose your hard earned money to fake brokers when there is a recovery firm available, email debinaryrecovery @ gmail, com. to reach them.

I have lost a sum to binary Options scam brokers. They took all the money deposited with them and denied me access to the account. I called them and they never responded back to me. I had to reach out to a recovery expert debinaryrecovery @ gmail, com to help me recover all my money back from them

I agree with those who write that etoro reviews is a scam. I ran into them myself and did well that I did not cooperate. Since my friend a month later they went bankrupt. What are they doing? They invite people to seminars and talk about investments. This is just bait for catching customers. In fact, they do not provide any quality service and their portfolios are unprofitable.

I have been using e-toro for 2 years and the platform is comprehensive, intuitive, social and very robust. I was introduced i wouldn’t have recovered all my lost cash. But now thanks to maria.adrian00771@gmail. com am Able to stand back at my feet. Mail him for help and assistance.

I’m just shocked by what the etoro reviews say about the negative ones, even the employees who are supposed to promote their office are leaving! This means that everything is really rotten there, and I would not be able to get involved with such a company that could disappear from day to day along with the clients’ money.

Excellence professional fake brokers are hunting who to hot again..If you have lost hope on your money I introduce you to active recovery agent If you need help you can contact me on maria.adrian00771atgmaildotcom he helped me to recover my lost funds and with is strategy i can now make profit..

During my early days of binary option i fell into a lot of online scams,trying to trade bitcoin and invest in binary options. Which nearly wrecked me out,making me lose up to 279k very confused on what to do until my boss introduced me to an online recovery agent recoverywealthnow360 at gmail dot com. A recovery expert who helped me recover all my money back from those scammers

I will always remain grateful to Mrs Louisa Rox de all the help rendered to me on getting back all that I have lost in less than a month, I i advice everyone struggling to make profit in trade of wanting to get back all their lost in a shot period of time should feel free to contact this honorable woman for help via WhatsApp + 1(772)2426212 once again thanks Mrs Rox

I got locked out of my account and they have so many steps to get back in it its wonderful to know they take security seriously and the people that helped where really nice I 100% recommended this site to anyone people are grate and if you ever need help they will get to you as soon as they can best site I’ve ever used !

Nexo and their wonderful Team did tell me first about eToro. The only thing I hate:
Why didn’t they tell me earlier! 😉 I could have safed so much money💰 ,because the fee is so unexpensive, not worth to mention. Before we used expensive changer like Changelly to get our NEXO Token, but now only with eToro👍👍👍 BankofBitcoin.de loves it😘📈🍀💱💵💶💷

I have had several problems from a blocked account for my safety because it did not have 2FA it took long to resolve but ultimately it was resolved and my coins were still safe.My phone got stolen, 2FA had to be reset high level of professionalism I must say and my issue was resolved. I made a transfare of coins to another exchange they took longer than normal to reflect. Even though the problem was not with Etoro the friendly and efficient staff still helped with processes to follow and engage with the recipient. Thank you guys keep up the good work

Very high fees to withdraw then on the transaction they send payments to a lot of addresses on same time amounds like 7k+ With a fee of 1$ Which is very low for the time

I traded back to bitcoin then withdrawed to bitcoin with an very high fee but when u sand u send insane low fees.

I’ve been trading at eToro for over a year. Over the past year, the support has changed a lot for the better. They respond very quickly, the problems are solving out competently and professionally. The security of deposits is at the highest level. Thank you very much for your good work.

I havent been able to access my account for more than 2 months. The support is very bad. It does not give alternatives. It is a chain of emails to try to solve the problem, but if you dont get it, you are on 4 legs and HB behind you. Every time a different person reads the message sent, but does not bother to read the previous conversation with another operator, so you never know solve your problem. I identify myself but they do not return my account. They always make you be in a circle of emails. Well, right now I think they dont want to solve it, they have stolen my coins.
eToro greedy. Are not commissions enough? Returns accounts to users who identify themselves as me.

I would like to give 5 stars for eToro exchange site performance and fees. It is fast.

However, the security is so high that if problems arise, such as Google Authenticator “changing”, you must:

1. Know what a “hash” is.
2. Know where to find it.
3. Along with other details.

If you don’t know, you are in for a ride that will bring out the paranoid in you, as you try to access money that is yours. Googling this brings out posts of the others that have gone through this, making a customer even more paranoid.

In the end, I do trust them to be honest. However, I have now left the exchange because I am afraid Google Authenticator might “glitch” again.

I believe they need more technical support staff as well.

Have you got yourself involved in a cryptocurrency scam? if yes, you are not alone. I was a victim of a bitcoin exchange scam that cost me all my bitcoins. I was really devastated until I came across a blog that suggested fightingscams at aol dot com an expert that specializes in recovering of fradulent stolen asset which I did contact. To my surprice they recovered all my stolen bitcoins.

Account not funded 13 days after sending money – NO CUSOMER SERVICE NUMBER TO CALL
I opened an account mid-December, December 15th. The same day I funded the account with $10K using wire transfer. The money was promptly sent. This is December 28th, and they still haven’t funded my account.

You CAN NOT call them. There is no number to call, NONE. I tried to use their live chat. It’s not available on Monday at 10 AM!

This seems like an absolute sham.

NOT GOING TO JOIN AFTER READING REVIEWS!

I’m in the process of joining up with these clowns and it has been a nightmare because they can’t make their mind up whether they need verification or not! Customer service is really poor! Anyway, regardless I have read the reviews on trustpilot and I’m definitely not going to join this bloody Circus!!!

Okay platform but lack of good customer support…why trade binary when you can earn on cloud crypto mining vaults such as ruxleyin vestment .co and get up to 7% daily returns? I’ve been a customer for months and I’m not backing down 🙂

etoro Option wasn’t fair enough on my side when I tried investing with them they convinced me in investing with them and the outcome was to tell me I would have to make more deposit before I can make withdrawal it sounded so unfair to me but they insisted that was the only way out thank God my friend introduced me to

dorothyarzner71 via email

I wouldn’t have gotten myself out this mess.

Investing in crypto for long now, and it easy to buy but not easy to increase it. Especially when the price fall, there are still ways to make profit from that. I got to know that after investing here. I haven’t seen any company better. They have been so great to, you will never regret doing business with them.

I withdrew all my money to leave this platform of robbery. I originally got all of my money back but then a couple days later they decided to illegally charge my account twice once for 8k and another charge for 4723.000. I NEVER initiated these charges. The customer service has been a nightmare to work with. They have even admitted multiple times to “accidentally” charging my account. I have them on recording telling me I’m lucky I even got any of my money back ??? They are now telling me they don’t even know where the money is they stole. This has been over a month with nothing solved.They are thieves and lairs. Run from this platform unless you want to be another victim.

Absolutely the worst trading platform out of all I’ve used, and I’ve used quite a few. Issues to name a few:
– Limited and expensive withdrawal options.
– Expensive currency conversion.
– Poor selection of companies. Limited to the most popular tickers.
– Ultra slow customer support.

Definitely do not recommend.

I thought I had lost my money when I could not withdraw but after some time, I saw lots of testimonials of how people got their money back through financialcredence.com I made up my mind to give them a try and believe me, it was really what I was looking for, an extremely trustworthy experience I had with them. In just a week, they helped collect my money.

I see a lot of people complaining because they’re loosing money because of their own actions and then complain to platform, a lot of brokers have withdrawal fees and u should read the terms of the service since it’s about money and not a video game. Plus, do you really expect that one of the biggest broker care about your 60$ withdrawal?
NOW WHY I PUT 2 STARS: The services are garbage! It’s been 3 months straight that every week they have ‘technical problems’ whenever the market goes down (aka buying opportunities for traders) it bugs me a lot , I don’t complain about not executing stop loss, I don’t care seeing red because the market is down, BUT, buying in deep red is what made me do a lot of money! so if the app keeps crashing in during this periods I don’t see much point in using it. A lot of people doesn’t understand this concept and buys when market is already in late bull (has grown exponetially for weeks) and then complains about pull backs, with this ‘technical difficulties’ etoro push even more people in this direction since u can’t do operations when market is down.

I’m a platinum client. Etoro is scam. You will not be able to login the account when the volatility is high, unable to close your trade during critical time. The stop loss not working well. Bid/ask spread become huge sometimes. Stop loss will be trigger even when it didn’t touch your Stop loss point. When u contact the customer service, no one will reply u. Unable to withdraw my fund even when i submit all the document required and I’m a verified client.
FYI, my total loss is USD 322,746 in Etoro.

awful platform, i do not even want to give 1 star. it is total SCAM. There is always loads and loads of technical issues, they do not admit or take responsibilities. you can not open or close trades. Charts do not work.
if you are really eager to trade Forex, find better platforms such as TD and IG, which everything is better than Etoro. or you will not see your money back ever again, just disappear in the thin air of Etoro. or if you do not care about your money, use Etoro.

It’s was so untrue to me at the end when I found out that all this while I was waiting for me to pile up all my fund so they can scam me of my money.I almost lost everything to them, if not for some reviews I read about a recovery expert company at ONE STANDARD FINANCE VIA WHATS-APP ( PLUS ONE EIGHT SEVEN ZERO THREE FOUR FIVE.SEVEN NINE THREE SEVEN

I’m going to be completely honest here but this didn’t cut it for me. I’m an experienced trader and over the years I’ve dealt with different platforms but this one wasn’t reliable. I had to switch to another platform for better experience and I’m happy now.

this was my first contact with the crypto market. I must praise the transparency and simplicity of the platform itself or the purchase and sale. purchase commissions – they do not have a sale, but they have the smallest difference between the purchase and sale rate.

Even though I was no longer entitled to personalised support , yet I received it with the most professional way ! Due to personal matters I had to withdraw my funds yet the support treated me as an ongoing client even though they had no obligation to do so .
