Binary Bets and Binary Options

Binary options trading has been banned in certain countries following the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) decision to prohibit their sale, marketing, and distribution to retail clients across the EU. This ban has been adopted by several countries, including the UK, as well as Israel, Australia, and Canada, all citing concerns over investor protection and fraudulent practices.  The consequence of this is that binary options are only available to professional clients in the UK, Australia and Europe.

Deriv (previously called Binary/Betonmarkets) are pioneers in fixed odds financial betting, and their offering represents an interesting alternative to spread betting especially for those of you starting out. Their bet products offer plenty of flexibility based on a limited risk model since your risks and outcomes are known ahead of time. You can either place a low-payout, long-term bet based on a steady market, or a high-payout, short-term bet predicting a volatile market.

Deriv offers financial bets on leading currencies, indices, stocks and more.
