About Easy Binary Option
Easy Binary Option has covered binary options since 2012 — through the growth of the sector, the wave of regulatory bans between 2018 and 2021, and its decline into a handful of unsupervised markets.
How this site is funded
Some outbound links to brokers are affiliate links, marked as sponsored, and pay us a commission if you open an account. That funds the site. It also creates an obvious conflict, so we bound it with rules that are checked when the site is built rather than left to good intentions:
- No affiliate link on any page covering a jurisdiction where binary options are prohibited.
- No affiliate link to a platform named on that jurisdiction's regulator alert list, on a page targeting residents of that jurisdiction.
- No affiliate link on a page whose legal position we could not verify against a primary source.
- Every sponsored link is marked
rel="sponsored nofollow"and accompanied by a visible disclosure.
The practical consequence is that our two largest audiences — India and Brazil — generate no revenue at all, because the product is banned in both. We publish those pages anyway.
What we changed in 2026
This site was restructured around the legal position rather than around a broker table. Pages written before the bans are labelled as archive material. Reviews of brokers that no longer exist are kept, but marked. Several older pages were removed outright, including four that had been published in 2016 with Cyrillic characters disguised as Latin ones — a cloaking technique — and which asserted the product was legal in countries where it was not.
What we cover, and what we do not
We cover the regulatory position of binary options country by country, the providers still offering them, and the exchange-traded event contracts that replaced the product in the United States. We name the regulator, the legal entity and the licence on every page where it matters, because on this product that is the only thing that reliably distinguishes one counterparty from another.
We do not publish signals, strategies presented as edges, or "systems". Our archive contains strategy articles written between 2012 and 2017; they are labelled as archive material and explain the mechanics rather than promising a return. Where a page implied a repeatable edge, that framing has been removed.
How the country trees work
Regulation, available brokers, funding rails and tax treatment all differ by market, so each market we cover has its own tree — South Africa, the UAE, the Philippines, Kenya, Nigeria, Thailand, Mexico, Peru and Colombia. Each is declared with hreflang so search engines serve the right regional version. The root of the site stays the neutral legal reference and carries no market-specific recommendation.
Colombia is the exception that shows the rule: it is one of our largest audiences, and it carries no affiliate link at all, because the SFC does not authorise the product.
Sources
Legal positions are stated against a named instrument or regulator wherever we could verify one — ESMA's 2018 product intervention, the FCA's 2019 rules, ASIC's 2021 order, CVM Resolution 598/2018, the RBI Alert List, the FSCA's ODP framework. Where we could not verify a position against a primary source, the page says so in a visible note rather than stating it with borrowed confidence. Several markets that other comparison sites describe definitively — Nigeria in particular — sit in that category.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, we would rather know. Errors of fact get corrected and the page's review date updated. If you believe a broker assessment is unfair, send the licence documentation and we will publish a correction if it holds up.
