Official Views on Withdrawal Refusal Issues
Regarding the low ratings on Trustpilot and criticisms about withdrawal refusals, Mr. Mehdi explained the following:
“First of all, I want to make it clear that not all negative reviews are necessarily from actual customers. Many of them are not genuine, and we are actively working with TrustPilot to identify and remove them.”
He also clearly explained the legitimate reasons for withdrawal refusals:
“The biggest misconception stems from traders misunderstanding the meaning of a prop trading account. Many of them have a gambling-like mentality, putting everything on a single bet, forgetting about news trading, or trading with very high leverage and large volumes.”
“We are not looking for gamblers, but for professional prop traders.”
