Last updated: 8 October 2026. Every screenshot below was recorded on 5 October 2026 from IQ Option’s public VIP page (iqoption.com/en/vip), opened in a browser logged in to an IQ Option account registered in Brazil. We deposited nothing and have no VIP account, so everything here is what IQ Option’s page says, not something we tested.
To get VIP status on IQ Option you register a Standard account, make a deposit and trade a minimum volume within 60 days, and then wait for an invitation by email from IQ Option’s manager. The page quotes $5,000 or more in deposits and $20,000 in trading volume over the last 60 days, and $3,000 in deposits or $12,000 in volume every 60 days to keep the status. The steps on the same page call the deposit “country-specific”, so ask support what applies to you.
Quick answer
- Steps: make a VIP deposit, trade actively for 60 days, then receive an invitation from IQ Option’s manager (IQ Option’s VIP page).
- To qualify: “Deposit $5,000 or more and have a trading volume of $20,000 in the last 60 days.” The steps call the deposit “country-specific”, so ask support what applies to you.
- To keep it: a $3,000 deposit or a $12,000 volume every 60 days; another answer on the page mentions only the deposit.
- Benefits listed: priority withdrawals and support, a personal manager, VIP strategies, indicators and signals, a badge, free tournament entry and a callback option.
- Not tested: we have no VIP account, so every benefit is IQ Option’s claim.
- Terms: benefits are at IQ Option’s absolute discretion and can be changed or cancelled.
How to get VIP on IQ Option
The numbers in each screenshot match the numbers in the text.
Step 1: Open the VIP page
Go to iqoption.com/en/vip, or click VIP (1) in the top menu of IQ Option’s site. The page opens with “Trade on VIP terms” and three highlights (2): VIP Badge, “1.5x Profitability” and Expert Strategies. Buttons such as Go VIP (3) lead into the sign-up and deposit flow. The “1.5x” figure is a banner; the FAQ further down gives a different number, a payout 3% to 5% higher on some assets (see below), so we use the FAQ.
Step 2: Compare VIP and Standard
The table “Priority is the lifestyle” puts the two account types side by side. The columns are VIP and Standard (1). The first rows are text:
- Withdrawals and verifications (2): VIP “Priority, Instant processing”; Standard “Regular processing times”.
- Support (3): VIP “Priority, 24/7 personal assistance”; Standard “Standard”.
Every row after that (4) is a tick for VIP and a dash for Standard: personal manager, VIP strategies, VIP indicators, trading signals, webinars with top analysts, increased profitability on selected assets, VIP badge and free tournament entry.
The end of the table (the third image) adds the VIP-only rows for increased profitability (1), the VIP badge (2), free tournament entry (3) and a callback option (4).
Step 3: Make a VIP deposit
The first of IQ Option’s three steps (1) reads: “Register a Standard account and top it up with the required country-specific amount, either as a one-time deposit or cumulatively over 60 days.” The Deposit button (2) leads to the cashier. We did not press it. For how deposits work in your country, see how to deposit on IQ Option.
Step 4: Trade actively for 60 days
The second step (1) says: “Meet the trading volume criteria over the next 60 days to qualify for the VIP status.” The page does not define “trading volume” in this step; the FAQ gives the figure.
Step 5: Wait for the invitation
The third step (1) says that once you reach the necessary criteria, a manager will reach out to you by email and upgrade your status. A Start the VIP challenge button (2) sits under it. If you think you qualify and have heard nothing, ask support through the live chat or at support@iqoption.com, as the page itself suggests (see IQ Option support).
What VIP asks for, and what it gives
These are the figures in IQ Option’s VIP FAQ, read on 5 October 2026.
| Question | What the page says |
|---|---|
| Minimum to qualify | “Deposit $5,000 or more and have a trading volume of $20,000 in the last 60 days.” |
| Steps vs FAQ | The steps say “the required country-specific amount”, the FAQ gives $5,000. Ask support what applies to you. |
| To keep VIP (FAQ) | “To keep the VIP status, you must deposit $3,000 or maintain a trading volume of $12,000 every 60 days.” |
| To keep VIP (“Can I lose my VIP status?”) | “You must make deposits totaling $3,000 over the 60 days following the attainment of VIP status.” Otherwise the account reverts to “Standard”. |
| Profitability | A payout percentage “typically ranging from +3% to +5% on the most popular currency pairs of the day”, on selected assets. |
| Personal manager | “All VIP members are assigned a dedicated account manager.” |
The two answers on keeping VIP differ: one allows a deposit or a volume, the other mentions only deposits. Ask support which one applies to you before you rely on either.
Benefits listed by IQ Option
- Profitability: a 3% to 5% higher profitability percentage on certain currency pairs than ordinary users, according to the FAQ. We have not tested it.
- Services: a personal manager, round-the-clock support with screencast analysis for complex cases, priority withdrawals and document verification, and a VIP badge on the platform.
- Education: VIP strategies and invitations to live trading and Q&A sessions with IQ Option’s analysts.
- Tools: market signals and extra on-platform indicators.
- Tournaments: free entry to all of IQ Option’s tournaments (see IQ Option tournaments).
- Short expirations: IQ Option’s blog on Blitz options says VIP users can use expirations from 5 seconds, against 30 seconds and up for other users.
Our earlier version of this guide mentioned four trading eBooks. They are not among the benefits on the VIP page, so we removed them.
Things to check before you go for VIP
- It is a discretionary benefit. IQ Option’s General Terms (Benefits clause, updated 21 July 2025) say VIP status and other benefits are provided at the company’s absolute discretion, can be changed or cancelled at any time without notice, may vary by region, and that creating several accounts to claim them is prohibited.
- The amounts are large. $5,000 deposited is real money at risk. Trading carries a high risk of loss, and VIP status does not change that.
- Your country may differ. The steps speak of a country-specific amount.
