They paid out deposits and profits

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
It took quite some time and reminders, but they transfered all funds I had there.

Apr 5, 2023 - 1 Star I traded with them for over 5 months without any issue. But when I made a withdraw request, nothing happened. Later I asked them why it didnt get processed, they said my account was suddenly under investigation. Now it's 2,5 weeks since I made the request and still waiting despite several reminders. I only did withdrawal request for my deposit amount, and even that they refuse to process. Better to avoid this bucketshop.

SERIOUS SCAMMERS

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
still trying to recuperate my funds i asked for a withdrawal and they refuse to send me my funds if there is anybody that has any ideas please write i am about to file a complain with the bahamas regulatory authority you should avoid this broker

May 14, 2021 - 1 Star I tried to withdraw my funds and they never sent the full amount i had. It seems they trade the other side of positions and they refuse to return traders profits. It sounds crazy but it is not. Its been a few months now and they still have not return my whole amount. One excuse after another

May 13, 2021 - 1 Star i opened an account with this broker. I traded for a whiler and made some profits. After not trading for a few weeks i decided to withdraw some of my funds. They never answered my several requests so i contacted them by chat. They said they will get back to me. I never experienced anything like this so i put on a request to withdraw all my funds. At that point they told me they found my trading suspicious and they confiscated my funds. I just saw that they did the same to many clients. I cant believe the regulators allow this to happen. I will soon start a campaign and possible initiate a class action law suit.

witholding money and actively ignoring me

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I joined blackwell global and to be fair the sign up process etc was seamless and quick no complaints, i also deposited with no issues.

i traded with them and won a decent amount, with all thats going on in the world with covid 19 i decided id withdraw my money and maybe come back to trading when the world is a more certain place.

after i requested my withdrawal i heard nothing form blackwell so i contacted them and was told "your activity is suspicious and correates with another account, but we will be processing your withdrawal shortly" i have no idea what they mean by suspicious or correlating but they said id get my money shortly so no issue.

i quesioned what they meant by correlates as i have no idea what they are on about and was ignored, i then contacted them again 5 hours later to ask how long shortly was and was told "we are waiting for a response from our liquidity providers then we will process your withdrawal" i was told this would be done between 2-72 hours. not ideal but no problem.

4 days later i contact them again as again not heard anything from them and was told "im just checking with the team ill cntact you shortly" since this message i have been completely ignored via all forms of contact, i can see messages have been read and not replied to. im now left with a company who have 5 figures of my money, making up ludicrous acqusations but giving me no details of them and to top it off completely ignoring me.

up to now i still dont have my money back and id strongly advise to stay well clear of this company. I hope to some day see my money.

Great broker

Opening of my account and upgrade to professional status went fast and smoothly. Customer support is professional and helpful. Execution and spread are excellent. I like the fact that Blackwell is a regulated broker.

Good for Crypto/Fiat

No problems at all with this broker. Actually trade crypto/fiat with the Blackwell lads and have successfully withdrawn funds. Can't comment on previous stuff but for now they seem ok. As long as I'm getting my money.

They need very long time to put money on my account, very unprofessional methods

I tried Blackwell Global as a Broker only for some days in 2017.
I had a small account and wanted to make a payment by Skrill, so that my account stays without margin call over night.
Skrill payments are running through normally very fast at other brokers, but not at Blackwell Global.
Blackwell Global needed 12 hours to put the money on my account. This is not acceptable and I don't know, why it takes so long. I lost my account because of this. This is very unprofessional behaviour of Blackwell.
You can lose your account very fast, if they don't put the paid money to your account. They seem to have no standard payment fulfilling times and I don't like this. It's a bit like coincidence, when your payment is on the account. Other brokers are much better. The GUI for their management interface is very old fashioned. Also not so good for me. I cannot recommend Blackwell Global.

Started testing them out during the MYFXBook Competition. Latency seems pretty good. The sales person said they are adding a new diary tool in a couple of weeks.

Scam - Avoid

There is a major scam taking place between Blackwell Global and the producers of the Einstein Trader EA. The producers of the Einstein Trader EA run a number of "Live" accounts with BGI that purport to show the results of live trading using the EA. However, when I set up an account with the same broker, and used the same recommended VPS provider (CNS), the results were vastly different from these "Live" accounts. I was told that this was due the the liquidity providers not being based in the same location as the broker and the VPS, which seems a bit odd given that the reference accounts did not have this issue.

There is something deeply suspicious taking place here, as my account lost around 25% during the month or so that I held an account whereas the "Real" reference accounts made 10% profit during this time. Avoid both this broker and the Einstein Trader EA like the plague. They are both scams.

Blackwell has reputation issues. They did not treat their staff in Nigeria well, owed many months salaries and still did not pay till date. When you dont treat your staff well is it the clients that you will treat well. fortunately the affected staff will be heading to court shortly.

Blackwell Global has eventually paid my money after many months. The problem was as a result of inappropriate communication of information which led to a lot of panic and also from the financial institution in the country.

Jul 26, 2016 - 1 Star I'm currently having a terrible experience with Blackwell Global. I placed a withdrawal of 10,978 dollars since the 17th of May this year and till this moment, I have not received my money. All I receive from them are empty promises that they will never fulfil. The service of the company is so poor that they do not even reach out to me as regards my money and different occasions that I have tried reaching their Cyprus office, they don't pick up. This issue is causing me a whole lot of inconveniences. I just want my money out of the company because I don't understand how a straight through processing firm that claims to have withdrawals within 24hrs will hold on to my money for over two months. This appears to be nothing but a scam to me because they are not even responding to the thread I invited them on.
