Broker Review

Unauthorised Firm Details

Name: VertexGate


Website: vertexgate.com

VertexGate presents itself as a Forex/CFD broker with “smart & easy trading,” exclusive support, tight spreads, and educational materials. But our analysis uncovers many red flags. Below is what we found — important if you’re thinking of trusting them.

From Sign-Up to Payout
At first glance the site is minimal but seems functional. Registration is simple: a short form. However, users report that after submitting, they are told “request received, see you soon” — nothing further. There’s no demo account for testing, and important documents like fees, spreads, or commission schedules are vague or missing. Withdrawal methods (credit cards, bank transfers, and Bitcoin) are claimed, but processing times are long (7-10 days in some cases) and actual access is reportedly blocked or delayed once profits accumulate.

Our Trading Experience With VertexGate
Because independent testers couldn’t fully open an account, experiences are based on user reports. The platform is described as WebTrader-based, with a single chart view, no multi-chart or one-click trading. Conditions seem manipulated: spreads allegedly widen under live conditions, and stop-losses or closed trades don’t always behave as expected. Users say promised educational materials are generic and that “exclusive support” often means pressure to deposit more rather than help.

The Reality Check
* Domain was registered recently (December 2024), making it a very young site.
* No valid legal entity or registration found in reputable registries (OpenCorporates, regulatory bodies).
* Website claims legal jurisdiction under Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, but no listing is found in that regulator’s registry.
* Contact details overlap with other known suspicious brokers (same phone number/email used elsewhere), indicating reuse of contact info by scam networks.

How Long Has VertexGate Been in the Game?
Though the broker claims features like “educational content” and “exclusive support,” the domain registration shows the site has been active only a few months (since December 2024). That makes any claims of long experience or large user base very doubtful.

Extra Fraud Indicators
* Many online reviews from people in countries like UK, EU countries (e.g. Greece, France), and others complaining about withdrawal issues, hidden fees, or inability to access their funds.
* Reviews are overwhelmingly positive in certain forums shortly after the site appeared — suggesting paid reviews.
* Risk / trust-rating websites (ScamAdviser, Gridinsoft) assign very low trust scores. Hidden WHOIS, recent domain age, and lack of visible regulation contribute.

Is VertexGate the Right Fit?
Based on what we have found, no — VertexGate is very high risk. It lacks verifiable licensing, misleads about trading conditions, uses borrowed or reused contact info, and has many reports of bad experiences.

Bottom Line
VertexGate checks almost all the boxes of a typical scam broker using hype and vague promises to lure deposits. Unless a broker shows a clearly verifiable license, transparent terms (spreads, commissions, withdrawals), a working demo, and positive verified user feedback from your own country, don’t trust it.
If you or someone you know deposited funds with VertexGate, collect all evidence: screenshots, payment records, correspondence. Try to seek recovery via your local regulator or financial complaint authority as soon as possible.
