Tickmill review - Regulations, Platforms, Instruments and User Ratings.
2 star review by rektsquare, Turkey
I have been using Tickmill for 3 years. Spreads are tight, execution is fast, deposit is fast. But, when it comes to withdraw your money, they are the slowest and the most problematic broker I have ever worked with. It always takes more than 1 week to get your money back. To give an example, I have made a request on 17th morning and who knows where the money is, still waiting...
My primary broker sends my funds to my account even sometimes within the same day, but Tickmill, hell no, I promise that you wont get your money easy. Eventually you get it if you have enough patience.

Recent User Reviews of Tickmill

The company that can't get enough of defeats in FOS
A complete fraud company that does not get wise and does not even respect the decisions of FOS, despite losing cases in FOS every time.
Okay, you are showing the frauds you can to not comply with the Fos decision, but I will get my money back from you by filing an expenditure objection.
Dec 21, 2022 - 1 Star I opened an account with Tickmill Uk. It is supposedly tightly regulated by the FCA. I thought that it would be reliable, but Tickmill has not paid me the amount due to me for about 3 months. I have been sending e-mail messages to dear Rani about paying my money many times. She continues to ignore it for 3 months. Please pay my money as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to start a legal process.
Reply by Tickmill submitted Jan 16, 2023 Hello,
In accordance with FOS instructions we have paid out the compensation.
No further action from our side.

Changing my review
May 10, 2023 - 1 Star I sent funds to my account, sent my personal documents, all validated. I requested a small withdrawal to validate the withdrawals, I sent proof of deposits in pdf, all were validated by the support.
All withdrawal requests were rejected.
Several other people are having this same problem, that is, they do not approve the withdrawals and do not give any reason to their customers, only failures in the withdrawals.
Today I transferred the total balance of my trading accounts, which by the way were growing by an average of 2% per month to the wallet and requested a total withdrawal of 1950.00 USD from the account.
I want to withdraw all the values because this broker has already demonstrated that it does not take its work seriously and I have no other alternatives but to file a lawsuit in court and also report them to the regulatory bodies.
I'm going to the end of this fight and I'm sure justice will be served. For you who are thinking of depositing any amount in this brokerage, think very carefully.

We appreciate for letting us know about successful resolution of the issue, you were facing. We also would like to thank you for mentioning your experience you had with us. This kind of feedback is what helps us improve as a business.
Please get in touch with our Support team at support@tickmill.com, so we can understand what we could do better.

Spread widening manipulation with TICKMILL
I send the customer service so many e-mails for the trade recap and a proof from the liquidity provider that this widening is real and not a wrong quote or spike, they ignored my request and not answering my e-mails anymore.
They wanted to compensate me with 187 USD which I refused because this means I agree for this widening spread.

We are sorry to hear about your frustration and negative experience. We always try to provide our clients with the best support and trading conditions.
Our dedicated team have checked your case and responded to you accordingly.
Please contact our Support team at support@tickmill.com in case you will require for further assistance..

They take over your account if they are not happy with you!
As the Financial ombudsman has ruled in my favor, despite that Tickmill falsified (!) data, Tickmill refuses to comply with the Final Decision. (check FOS website Decisions database - www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/decision/DRN-3148143.pdf) They have been intimidating, lying and making threats for six months.
As the person handling your complaint and refusing, but eventually after six months, is forced to comply to the FD, this person (risk and compliance director) out of grudge, she decides to terminate my accounts and they are closing all my open trades for me. Basically they are taking over my account and forcing me to watch how they close my trades and I have to swallow all the losses.
If you complain about this unprofessional behaviour, it is the same person handling your complaint again and she simply ignores you. It is outrageous!!
What it comes down to, if you win your complaint with FOS you still loose, as Tickmill controls their system and they just do what they want, regardless whether you point out how illegal their actions are. Now I have to take legal actions and spend even more money to rectify this scandalous behaviour.
I had never expected this criminal behaviour from a FCA regulatd company that brags about their license!

Tickmill UK Ltd has co-operated fully with FOS and your redress has been settled. The matter is closed.
Kind regards,
Tickmill Team
