I have been waiting for over two weeks to withdraw my funds, and I still haven’t received anything. The support team is unresponsive and I feel completely scammed. I regret choosing GSI Markets.

I’ve been trading with GSI Markets for a few months now. The proprietary platform is user-friendly, and I appreciate the demo account feature. However, I wish they had more trading instruments available.

I was excited to start trading but faced issues with my withdrawal requests. Despite the competitive spreads, the lack of regulation makes me uneasy about keeping my money here.
