Affiliate Disclosure
BrokerGrove earns money when you open an account on some of the platforms we review through links on this site. This page explains exactly which platforms pay us, which don't, and why it doesn't change what we write.
The Short Version
Some links on BrokerGrove are affiliate links. When you click one, register, and trade with real money, the platform pays us a commission from its revenue. You pay nothing extra — the platform terms, deposit minimums, and payout rates are identical whether you register through us or go directly.
Our current status with every platform covered on this site:
| Platform | Relationship |
|---|---|
| Stockity | Affiliate partner (revenue share) |
| Pocket Option | Affiliate partner (revenue share) |
| Binomo | Affiliate partner (revenue share) |
| Deriv | Affiliate partner (revenue share) |
| Exnova | Affiliate partner (revenue share) |
| IQ Option | Affiliate partner (revenue share) |
| Quotex | No affiliate relationship — Quotex pays us nothing |
| Olymp Trade | No affiliate relationship |
In addition, some payment guides contain referral links to cryptocurrency exchanges (such as Binance, Bybit or OKX), and our affiliate programs guide contains referral links to platforms' partner programs — if you sign up through those, we may earn a referral commission there too.
How the Commission Works
Our partners run revenue-share affiliate programs. We earn a percentage of the net revenue a platform generates from traders who registered through our links. We do not earn a flat fee per registration, and we earn nothing if a referred trader doesn't fund their account and trade.
What This Means for Our Quotex Coverage
A significant part of this site covers Quotex — reviews, legality pages, payment guides. We earn nothing from any of it, because we have no commercial relationship with Quotex.
Where our Quotex pages point readers toward alternatives, those alternatives include platforms that do pay us commissions. That is a financial interest, and we flag it the same way we flag every other affiliate link on this site.
What We Disclose, and Where
| What | Where |
|---|---|
| Affiliate link marking | Commercial "Visit" buttons carry a sponsored link attribute; platforms we have no partnership with get no commercial buttons |
| Affiliate relationship statement | In the footer of every page and on this page |
| Independent-publisher notice | On every page — we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any platform we review |
| Risk warning | Adjacent to every CTA where a reader might consider depositing |
Does This Affect Our Reviews?
No — and you can check that claim against the pages themselves. Our Binomo review notes that Binomo appears on India's RBI Alert List and was blocked by Indonesia's Bappebti in 2022; Binomo is a partner. Our Exnova pages flag that Exnova discloses no regulator and no licence number; Exnova is a partner. No platform can pay to change how we describe it, remove negative content, or buy a better rating.
We would earn more money if we downplayed risks and published uncritical promotional content. We don't do that, because readers who feel misled don't trust us — and a site nobody trusts doesn't generate referrals anyway. Transparency is both the ethical choice and the commercial one.
What Affiliate Earnings Fund
Running this site costs money: domains and hosting, verification work behind our research datasets, and the time spent researching, writing, and updating content as platforms change. Affiliate commissions are how BrokerGrove stays online and keeps producing current information.
FTC and General Disclosure Compliance
This disclosure follows general affiliate disclosure standards, including the FTC's guidelines on material connections (16 CFR Part 255). We disclose our affiliate relationships clearly on every page that contains an affiliate link — not buried in a footer, not hidden behind a policy page.
