IQ Option's $60,000 Birthday Tournament Runs Throughout November With Equal Starting Conditions

The IQ Birthday Tournament operates from 1 to 30 November and carries a total prize pool of $60,000. All registered participants receive a $100 tournament account, giving every entrant identical starting capital. A small entry fee applies, and the prize pool will be distributed among the top 40 ranked traders at the conclusion of the event. IQ Option describes this structure as designed to level the playing field, allowing performance rather than initial capital size to determine results. The company did not disclose the specific entry fee amount in the announcement.

Smartphone Raffle Offers 30 Devices Including iPhone 17 and Samsung Galaxy S26 Units

Running from 2 to 25 November, the smartphone raffle gives clients the chance to win one of 30 handsets — specifically 15 iPhone 17 and 15 Samsung Galaxy S26 devices. To enter, clients must make a deposit of at least $10 using the promotional code IQBDAY. Each qualifying deposit earns one raffle ticket, with additional deposits generating additional entries. Winners will be selected at random, with results announced on 25 November. The announcement does not disclose the total estimated retail value of the prize pool of smartphones.

$13,000 Trading Marathon and 130% Deposit Bonus Add Further Anniversary Incentives

From 16 to 19 November, clients who complete at least 30 trades on a real account qualify for a random draw sharing a $13,000 prize pool. One hundred selected traders will each receive $130, with winners announced on 20 November. Separately, clients can claim a +130% deposit bonus using the promo code BDAY130, subject to applicable terms and eligibility conditions. IQ Option also offers two free script trading strategies — KAMA Catch and Reversal Radar — available through the platform's promo centre, providing automated signal detection directly on traders' charts.

IQ Option Highlights Segregated Client Funds and Independent Trade Execution Verification

Alongside the anniversary promotions, IQ Option reiterates several client protection measures. The platform states that client funds are held in segregated accounts, separate from company funds, and that negative balance protection is in place for eligible clients. Trade execution quality and pricing have been independently assessed by Verify My Trade, a specialist provider of execution analytics for retail FX and CFD brokers. IQ Option is also a member of the Financial Commission, an international dispute resolution body, and holds a Trusted Partner designation from Investing.com alongside a TrustFinance award for Excellence in Client Trust and Confidence 2026.
