Tickmill Review 2026: Is It Legit? Regulation, Spreads, Withdrawals, Pros and Cons

Tickmill in short

Tickmill was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in London; group entities in Cyprus and Seychelles. Regulators: FCA, CySEC, FSA Seychelles, FSCA, Labuan FSA. One of the lowest Raw-account commissions among regulated brokers; strong in Europe and Asia.

All figures below come from the broker's public data as of this page's update date. Conditions differ by country and account type, so verify them on the Tickmill site before opening an account.

Accounts, spreads and commissions

Account types: Classic, Raw, Tickmill Trader. Spreads and commissions: Classic from 1.6 pips; Raw from 0.0 + $3 per lot per side. Leverage: up to 1:1000 offshore; 1:30 in the EU and UK. Platforms: MT4, MT5, Tickmill Trader, TradingView.

Deposits and withdrawals

Cards, transfers, skrill, neteller, crypto; no broker fees. As with every regulated broker, withdrawals go back by the method you funded with — an anti-money-laundering requirement, not a Tickmill quirk.

Bonuses

$30 no-deposit welcome bonus in some regions; cashback for active traders. Where a bonus exists, read the volume conditions before activating: a bonus is credit, not cash, and it is removed on withdrawal.

Drawbacks worth knowing

• Classic account from 1.6 pips is expensive
• No cent accounts
• Limited instruments compared to multi-asset brokers

Legit or scam: how we look at it

Searches for "Tickmill scam" are crowded with rating sites that publish the same template about every broker and end with a link to a "verified" partner. We do not do that. The facts are simple: Tickmill holds licences (FCA, CySEC, FSA Seychelles, FSCA, Labuan FSA), has operated since 2014 and publishes its terms. That does not guarantee it suits you, but it is not a scam in the sense those sites use the word.
