Without further ado, here’s how to register an IQ Option account.
Step 1. Make sure you’re compliant to register
IQ Option is an international broker that works in many counties. However, some restrictions apply. Before you start, make sure the IQ Option services are available in your country.
Banned countries and territories:
Some of the banned countries are the USA and its territories, Canada, Afghanistan, Australia, Belarus, Belgium, Bouvet Island, Comoros, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gibraltar, Guam, Haiti, Iran, Israel, Japan, Libya, Mali, Myanmar, North Korea, Palestine, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, the Russian Federation, and Ukraine. Note that the list of non-serviced countries is subject to change, so make sure to check the Terms and Conditions when you register an account.
Step 2. Sign up
Go to the official IQ option website and click on the Sign Up button in the upper right corner. Next, fill in the sign-up form and press Open Account.
Note that there’s also a social sign-up option: you can use your Facebook or Google account to register.
After that, you will receive a confirmation link to your email address. It will redirect you to the platform where you can log in with your email and password.
Step 3. Test the demo account
Upon IQ Option registration, you’ll be assigned with both Practice and Real accounts. It is recommended to start on demo to get the feel of the platform and test-drive the strategies.
As an IQ Option registration bonus, you’ll get your Practice account charged with virtual $10,000 that you can use for training. The demo account doesn’t have an expiration date or top-up limitations: if you’re out of funny money, you can replenish it anytime you want.
To do that, click on the Deposit button in the upper right corner of the Traderoom and press Fill Up To $10,000.





Step 4. Trade in the real market
Once you feel confident trading on demo, you might want to switch to the Real account. If you’re wondering how to register the IQ Option real account, you shouldn’t be: as stated earlier, you get two accounts under the same login. So, if you’ve passed steps one and two, you already own a Real account.
To switch to the real balance, click on your balance, then choose Real Account in the dropdown.

However, trading in the real market would require a couple of additional steps like passing the verification process and making your first deposit. To learn more about these steps, check out the articles below:
- Pass the verification process
- Top up your account
How to register IQ Option mobile account
Trading on the go is an amazing opportunity to take your portfolio anywhere you like. You can check your trades while at work, out with friends, on the bus or in the car. To have the trade room with you at all times, you can install a mobile app. Several options are available: for iOS and Android, an APK (Android Package Kit) app, and PWA (Progressive Web App). The easiest way is to go to your app store and install the IQ Broker app. Check all the details on downloading the mobile app in our extensive guide.
If this is your first time on the platform, complete a quick IQ Option registration process. It’s similar to the desktop experience: enter your email address, create a password, and choose your country. Alternatively, use the social sign-up feature.
If you’ve registered an IQ Option account before, simply log in with your existing email and password.
Have a nice first-time experience with IQ Option!
