BigMarkets is a cryptocurrency exchange based in Saint Lucia, established in 2005. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 3.5 out of 10, which we rate as Poor — above the industry average of 3.3/10. High-risk profile — proceed only with caution and small amounts.

We could not verify any regulatory licence for BigMarkets. Trading with an unregulated broker is high-risk — your funds are not protected by any authority, and there is no official body to turn to if withdrawals are blocked or the broker disappears. We strongly recommend a regulated alternative from the list on this page.

BigMarkets provides access to Cryptocurrencies, Currencies, Shares, Commodities. Published conditions include leverage up to 1:400. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, BigMarkets carries a high-risk profile. Only consider it with money you can afford to lose, and verify everything independently first.

Our analysis · editorial 3.5/10

High-risk profile

BigMarkets does not hold a verified regulatory licence on record. Based in Saint Lucia, it has been operating for about 21 years. We have no complaints on record against it. Weighing regulation, track record and complaint history, our Trust Score is 3.5/10 — a high-risk profile.

Strengths
  • Long 21-year operating track record
  • No complaints on record with us
  • Supports WebTrader trading
Watch-outs
  • No verified regulatory licence on record — funds may lack protection
Bottom line: High risk — we would avoid depositing significant funds until its regulation improves.

Frequently asked

Is BigMarkets a safe broker?
BigMarkets scores 3.5 / 10 on our Trust Score, above the 3.3 industry average. It has no verified tier-1 licence, raising risk. It has no complaints on record. Trade only with funds you can afford to lose.
How is the BigMarkets trust score calculated?
The score weighs five factors: regulation tier, transparency of disclosures, operating footprint, user sentiment, and complaint history. Each is scored out of 10 and combined into the overall figure shown at the top. Read our methodology.
What does "offshore regulated" mean?
It means the broker's licence comes from a jurisdiction with lighter requirements than tier-1 regulators like the FCA or ASIC. There's usually no compensation scheme, so recovering funds can be difficult if the broker fails.
Can I withdraw funds easily from BigMarkets?
BigMarkets publishes some trading terms, but always confirm withdrawal fees directly. Test with a small amount first and document every transaction.
