Responsible Trading

Binary.com supports BeGambleAware which is the leading charity in Britain committed to minimising gambling-related harm. The charity funds education, prevention and treatment services and commissions research to help people understand more about gambling-related harm. It also offers a national gambling helpline to offer confidential advice and emotional support to those that seek help about their gambling.

BeGambleAware also provides links to an online quiz to assess a potential gambling problem and an online gambling calculator to see how much you can really spend.

Please remember at all times that trading binary options can be an exciting activity, but we have a moral duty to remind you of the risks you may run. Options trading can become a real addiction, as can any other activity pushed to its limits. We kindly ask you to engage in a careful self-analysis to check if you are at risk. To avoid the danger of such an addiction, it is important that you follow some basic principles and guidelines.
