Methodology

Trust Score

Trust Score is a 0–5 weighted average. Bands are:

• 4.5–5.0 — Excellent (green): tier-1 regulated, fast withdrawals, low complaint volume
• 4.0–4.4 — Great (light green): strong regulatory coverage, generally positive reviews
• 3.5–3.9 — Average (yellow): mixed reviews, some friction
• 3.0–3.4 — Poor (orange): significant complaint volume or weak regulation
• <3.0 — Bad (red): systemic issues, offshore-only, or regulator warnings

Weights

• Verified trader reviews (60%) — last 12 months, deduped, with proof preferred
• Regulation tier (20%) — Tier-1 (FCA, ASIC, BaFin, CySEC, MAS) → Tier-3 → Offshore
• Withdrawal speed (10%) — last 90 days of review mentions
• Spread competitiveness (10%) — relative to category average

Review verification

Reviews can be marked "Verified" if the author uploads a screenshot of a deposit or withdrawal. Verified reviews are weighted higher and surface a verified badge.
