Risk Warning

Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment and you should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong.

Protections

Regulation, compensation and complaints

Some financial activities have formal protection routes. Others may not. Always check before committing funds.

Financial Services Register

For regulated services, check a firm's details using official sources. Be alert to cloned firms using similar names, websites or registration numbers.

FSCS and Ombudsman routes

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme and Financial Ombudsman Service may apply to some regulated activities. Their availability depends on the firm, activity, product and circumstances.

Limitations

Some high-risk investments and cryptoasset activity may not offer protection if something goes wrong. Do not assume that a UK-facing website means full UK regulatory coverage.

Important: a disclaimer does not make an unlawful or misleading promotion compliant. The underlying activity and advertising account may still need authorisation or verification.
