All month long, traders can compete for a share of the $60,000 tournament prize pool, take part in a $13,000 Trading Marathon, enter a raffle for 15 iPhones and 15 Samsung Galaxy smartphones, unlock free trading strategies, and enjoy more birthday perks.
The anniversary is also a chance to look back at what IQ Option has achieved over the past year and how it made trading more reliable and comfortable for its clients.
Here’s what the 13th-anniversary program includes — and five milestones worth celebrating along the way.
13 years of IQ Option: 5 milestones we’re proud of
Since its launch, IQ Option has grown into a global trading platform serving clients across 180 countries. Over the past year, the company has continued to focus on its trading environment, execution quality, client protection, and community.
Here are eight highlights from the journey so far.
1. Approaching a 200 million community milestone
IQ Option has surpassed 195 million registered users across 180 countries. It’s a growing international community of people exploring financial markets and developing their trading skills — and we’re proud to have you on board!
2. One year in the fast lane with United Autosports
IQ Option marked one year of partnership with United Autosports x McLaren, the racing team that became the 2026 European Le Mans Series champion.
The collaboration brings together two worlds where preparation, precision, and smart decisions matter: motorsport and trading. Over the past year, dozens of lucky traders have experienced the thrill of world-class racing firsthand, with some winning trips to major events through our trading marathons.
3. Exclusively recognized by Investing.com and Myfxbook
IQ Option holds a 4.4 rating on Myfxbook, one of the first social communities for traders, and has earned Trusted Partner status from Investing.com.
We’re especially proud of these milestones, as these are meaningful endorsements from established names in the financial industry, not just popularity badges.
4. One step further in earning client trust
An 86.63% customer satisfaction rate reflects the experience of IQ Option clients, while the Excellence in Client Trust & Confidence 2026 award from TrustFinance adds independent industry recognition to that feedback.
Together, they highlight the company’s ongoing focus on building a transparent and reliable trading environment.
5. Two more layers of independent protection
IQ Option continues to strengthen its commitment to fair conditions and client protection through several independent safeguards:
- Independent dispute resolution: In 2026, we became a member of the Financial Commission, an international organization that facilitates dispute resolution in the financial services industry. This gives IQ Option clients access to an independent complaint resolution process, with compensation of up to €20,000 per eligible complaint through the Commission’s compensation fund.
- Independent pricing assessment: Verify My Trade, an independent provider of trade execution analytics and pricing benchmarks, has assessed our platform’s pricing. This gives you additional confidence that the prices you trade at meet independent fairness benchmarks.
These developments build on existing safeguards, including segregated client funds (held separately from the company’s own funds) and negative balance protection, which helps ensure clients don’t lose more than the funds available in their accounts.
The birthday month: Gifts, prizes, and trading events
To mark its 13th anniversary, IQ Option has prepared a month of activities with a total of $130,000 in gifts.
Here’s what you can join in November.

Claim a +130% deposit bonus
Clients can also get a special birthday bonus to add to their trading balance.
To claim a +130% deposit boost, use the promo code BDAY130 upon your next deposit. Applicable terms, eligibility requirements, and bonus conditions apply.
Get two free script trading strategies
Our traders have already discovered and loved script strategies — on-platform tools that automatically detect trading signals and display them directly on the chart, helping identify potential market opportunities.
Now, we’re adding two more to the collection as a special birthday gift. Both strategies are free for all clients to activate and try!
- The KAMA Catch: Combines KAMA to identify the general trend direction with fast and slow Stochastic indicators to track broader momentum and shorter-term price swings.
- Reversal Radar: Uses RSI to identify potentially overbought or oversold conditions, while a Center of Gravity crossover helps confirm a possible change in direction.
To activate either strategy, accept the offer in the Promo Center. You’ll then find the scripts in the Strategies section of the traderoom.
