Withdrawing money from Pocket Option is a four-step process: verify the account, open the Finance section, choose the payout method and confirm the amount. Most requests are processed within a day. This guide explains each step of a pocketoption withdrawal, the limits and fees you should expect, and the reasons a request can end up pending or rejected.
Before you withdraw: verification and the deposit rule
Two rules govern every Pocket Option withdrawal. First, the account must be verified: upload a photo of your ID (passport, national ID or driving licence) and a proof of address (utility bill or bank statement no older than three months) in Profile → Verification. Second, funds are returned to the same payment method used for the deposit — a card deposit is withdrawn to the same card, a USDT deposit to a USDT wallet. Profit above the deposited amount can usually be sent to any supported method, including crypto.
How to withdraw from Pocket Option step by step
- 1Log in to your pocketoption account and open Finance → Withdrawal in the left menu.
- 2Select the payment method. Only methods you have deposited with (plus crypto for profit) are shown.
- 3Enter the amount — at least $10 for most methods — and the wallet address, card or account details.
- 4Confirm the request. It appears in Finance → Transaction history with the status “Requested”.
- 5Wait for processing. The status changes to “Approved” and the money arrives according to the method’s own transfer time.
Withdrawal methods and how long they take
Pocket Option supports 50+ payment methods; availability depends on your country. The platform side is usually finished within 24 hours; the rest of the time is the transfer itself.
| Method | Typical arrival after approval | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cryptocurrency (USDT, BTC, ETH, LTC…) | Minutes to a few hours | Fastest option; network fee applies |
| E-wallets (Skrill, Neteller, Perfect Money, AdvCash) | Same day | Wallet must be in your name |
| Local methods (Pix, UPI, M-Pesa, bKash, Mercado Pago…) | Same day – 1 business day | Depends on the local provider |
| Visa / Mastercard | 1–5 business days | Bank processing time varies by issuer |
| Bank transfer | 2–7 business days | Available in selected countries |
Minimum, maximum and fees
- Minimum withdrawal: $10 (some methods have their own, higher minimum).
- Maximum per request: depends on the method and account level; large amounts can be split into several requests.
- Platform fee: none — Pocket Option does not charge for deposits or withdrawals.
- Third-party fees: crypto network fees, bank or e-wallet charges and currency conversion may apply.
- Bonus funds: if you accepted a deposit bonus, the required trading turnover must be met before withdrawing the bonus part.
Why a withdrawal is pending or rejected
Most delays have a simple cause. Check these before contacting support:
- Verification not complete or documents rejected (blurry photo, cropped edges, expired ID).
- Withdrawal method differs from the deposit method — return the deposited sum first, then withdraw profit.
- Wallet address or card number entered incorrectly — cancel the request while it is still “Requested” and create a new one.
- Unfinished bonus turnover.
- Weekend or public holiday — the platform processes requests, but banks do not transfer funds.
If the status is still “Requested” after 24 hours and none of the above applies, open the support chat inside the platform and quote the transaction ID from the history.
