How this site earns

NorthLedger is an independent editorial publisher and is not affiliated with Pocket Option. Our funding model is affiliate partnerships, and this site takes part in the Pocket Option partner programme: links to the platform here are affiliate links, and if you open an account through one we may be paid a commission at no extra cost to you. Fixed-time and digital options carry a high risk of losing your capital in full.

Where things stand today: the partner programme is live

So there is no misunderstanding, the current state of play comes first. NorthLedger is enrolled in the Pocket Option partner programme. The sign-up buttons and platform links this site carries are referral links that pass through a tracking redirector to one provider. The affiliate links on these pages are marked as sponsored, and an account opened through one can earn us a commission or a share of what the operator earns from that client. This paragraph gets rewritten before that changes, not after.

Our business model

Our funding model is affiliate partnerships. Editorial sites in this category are usually paid for by a provider compensating the publisher when a reader arrives through a marked link. That is a common arrangement and it is the one we work under; pretending we write out of pure idealism would be dishonest. What matters for you is the consequence: you should always be able to tell who pays for these pages and where a commercial interest could sit. Right now the honest answer is that the Pocket Option partner programme pays for them, through the marked commercial links on these pages.

Three things apply to that programme. Every commercial link is labelled as such on the page. It is marked up technically as a sponsored link. And it never costs you anything extra.

What a commission would not change

Compensation does not change what these pages say. We do not rate Pocket Option higher because a partnership pays us, and we would not rate it lower if that partnership ended. In practice that means we publish no figure we have not found in a documented source, we print no dollar amounts for minimums or balances that the operator does not publish in a checkable form, and we describe deposits, withdrawals, verification and bonuses as what the platform publishes rather than as something we have been through.

It also means we hold the eligibility question open in both directions. Canada is not named in the exclusion notice the operator publishes, so we do not write that it refuses Canadians. Nor do we write that a Canadian resident can open an account, fund it, verify it and withdraw, because absence from a list is not an eligibility guarantee and none of it is published in a form we can confirm.

And we do not soften the regulatory picture to make a page friendlier. Securities registration in Canada is provincial and territorial, with no national commission — the Canadian Securities Administrators is an umbrella over the provincial regulators, and a firm is registered in a province rather than in the country. No Canadian provincial or territorial registration is published for this operator. CSA members prohibit the sale to retail investors of binary options with a term shorter than 30 days. Whether any Canadian regulator has warned about, listed or acted against this brand is something we could not verify, so we assert it in neither direction, and readers should remember that absence from an investor-alerts list proves nothing — registration is the positive check, not the lack of a warning.

No hands-on tests, no invented experience

We have not opened a live account with this broker, have not deposited money and have not traded. Where other sites write “in our test”, we write what the documentation states and what an evaluation framework can support. You will not find a sentence like “we withdrew and it took X hours” here, because we could not evidence one.

What we do not do

We do not sell signals, bots, courses or mentoring, and we recommend nobody who does. We do not broker accounts, we act as nobody’s agent toward any platform, and we have no access to your account. We publish no promo codes. And we help nobody past a geographic or identity restriction — documents that misstate identity or residence are fraud, and we treat them as such rather than as a step to work around.

Risk and responsibility

Everything on this site is general information, not investment, tax or legal advice. Fixed-time and digital options are high-risk; total loss is an ordinary outcome, and most retail accounts in this product category lose money. None of the protections that attach to a registered Canadian dealer — know-your-client and suitability duties, an OBSI complaints route, CIRO oversight, Canadian Investor Protection Fund coverage if the dealer became insolvent — attaches to an unregistered offshore venue, and CIPF would not cover trading losses even at a member dealer. For tax questions, speak to a qualified accountant or work from Canada Revenue Agency guidance; Quebec residents also file provincially. Check volatile details — terms, payout, minimums, country restrictions — on the operator’s own pages before you decide anything.
