Doto’s international website identifies Doto Global LTD in Mauritius as the operator of all trading on this route, including MT4 and MT5. The account and payment tables below cover that retail service.[1]
The account and the contracting company
Sections ↑Doto’s group companies serve different roles. The South African business describes itself as an intermediary to Doto Global. A Cyprus or Seychelles group authorisation does not establish that an account opened on the Mauritius route receives that other company’s regulatory protections.[2]
Account comparison01
International route and account access
| Item | Published position | Practical effect |
|---|---|---|
| Residence | The international website excludes, among others, the EU, UK, US, Australia, Canada, Japan, Mauritius, New Zealand, Norway, Russia and Switzerland. | This is not an exhaustive list; the website’s full restricted-country schedule and application determine eligibility.Source 1 |
| Registration | Email or phone login codes; Google and, on supported devices, Apple registration. | Demo access starts immediately. An account survey around the first deposit unlocks live trading and withdrawals.Source 5 |
| Account currencies | USD, IDR, ZAR, MYR, BRL, SAR, EGP, THB, NGN, MXN, ARS, COP, AED and PHP. | Availability varies by region and platform. An available local currency may be selected automatically.Source 5 |
| Account management | A trading account’s base currency cannot be changed. Doto trading accounts can be used with MT5; MT4 has a separate trading-account selection. | One customer profile can manage the available trading accounts; archiving and restoring are supported.Source 6 |
Account comparison02
Standard, Raw Spread and Islamic arrangements
| Arrangement | Entry and platform | Charging structure |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | MT4 and MT5; payment-method minimums are listed below. | Spread includes the broker’s trading fee; no separate trading commission.Source 7 |
| Raw Spread | MT5 only; the dedicated guide quotes USD 200 minimum for a real account. Demo is available. | Lower market spreads plus an instrument-specific fixed commission charged on opening and closing. The terminal supplies the amount.Source 7 |
| Islamic | Verified real MT5 accounts, support approval and eligible residence. The setting applies to all existing and future trading accounts. | Swap is replaced by a daily administration fee per open trade, varying with instrument and position size; conventional and Islamic accounts cannot be held together.Source 8 |
Published Islamic-account countries are Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Morocco, Jordan, Algeria, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Oman and Nigeria. Support can request further evidence and can reverse the Islamic setting on request.[8]

Position units used in published examples
| Instrument | One standard lot | Useful distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Forex | 100,000 units of base currency | A lot measures exposure, not the cash required as margin.Source 16 |
| Gold | 100 ounces | Apply the chosen symbol’s actual volume minimum and step.Source 16 |

| Oil | 1,000 barrels | The platform displays the allowed position size.Source 16 |
| EUR/USD pip | 0.0001 USD per EUR | At 100,000 EUR, one pip equals USD 10, calculated from the published definition.Source 17 |
| JPY-pair pip | 0.01 quote-currency units | Do not treat a minimum price tick as an interchangeable pip.Source 17 |

XAUUSD floating-margin bands on Doto and MT5
| USD exposure slice | Leverage for that slice |
|---|---|
| First USD 10,000 | 1:1,000Source 19 |
| Above USD 10,000 to 200,000 | 1:500Source 19 |
| Above USD 200,000 to 700,000 | 1:200Source 19 |

| Above USD 7 million to 15 million | 1:25Source 19 |
| Above USD 15 million | 1:10Source 19 |
Calculated illustration: USD 20,000 of gold exposure within these bands requires USD 10,000 ÷ 1,000 plus USD 10,000 ÷ 500, or USD 30 of margin. This calculation uses the published tier rules; it is not a deposit recommendation or a forecast of trading costs.[19]
Protections & eligibility09
Margin alerts and execution
| Rule | Published treatment | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Safety Level | Doto’s warning display labels the 50%–100% band “Margin Call”. | This warning band is different from the forced-close threshold.Source 20 |
| Stop-out | The current English trading glossary specifies 20% margin level. | Some positions can be closed automatically when the threshold is reached.Source 21 |
| Execution | The execution policy covers OTC transactions and prioritises total consideration for retail clients. | Displayed prices and stop instructions do not guarantee a fill at an unchanged price.Source 24Source 21 |
Trading and account charges
Sections ↑Pricing & charges10
Charges outside the headline spread
| Charge | Published basis | Where it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Raw commission | Instrument-specific fixed amount on both opening and closing. | The exact symbol fee in MT5 is necessary for an all-in comparison.Source 7 |
| Overnight swap | Instrument and direction determine the overnight charge or credit. | Check the current trading specification for the position being held.Source 22 |
| Islamic holding fee | Daily administration fee depends on instrument and trade size. | Swap-free status does not mean cost-free overnight holding.Source 8 |
| Inactivity | USD 15 per month per account after six consecutive months of inactivity. | The Client Agreement permits closure of inactive accounts.Source 23 |
| Withdrawal without trading / abuse | Section 5.4 reserves recovery of deposit fees incurred or 1.5% of the total withdrawal. | Applies where no trading followed the last deposit, or other abuse is found.Source 23 |
| Forced withdrawal commission | Section 5.5 permits 10% of the gross withdrawal for reasonably determined misuse or third-party deposit activity. | Can apply despite token trades, in addition to ordinary/provider fees, and after processing.Source 23 |
| Review of forced withdrawal charge | Written review request within 14 days of notification; response within five working days. | The agreement allows the charge to be sustained, adjusted or reversed.Source 23 |
| Payment and conversion costs | Doto’s method guides state no broker deposit fee; banks, wallets, card issuers and networks can impose their own costs. | Account and payment currencies, and crypto network choice, affect the amount received.Source 33 |
Platforms, tools and trading sessions
Sections ↑Platforms & products11

| MT4 | Expert Advisors and four standard pending-order types. | Select an MT4 trading account; its leverage rules differ from MT5.Source 28Source 6 |
| AI Market Insights | Selected-instrument cards combine news and price inputs, a directional view, reasoning and suggested take-profit/stop-loss settings. | The user can open an order from a card; the guide does not establish predictive accuracy.Source 29 |

| Crypto | Generally around the clock, seven days a week. | Some symbols have a Saturday pause or a five-minute break.Source 30 |
Verification and funding
Sections ↑At a glance13
Documents and verification triggers
| Stage | Required evidence or threshold | Published timing |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Passport, national ID or driving licence, with regional exceptions; South African verification accepts ID/passport/Green Book rather than a driving licence. A selfie or address evidence may be requested. | From minutes to one working day.Source 31 |
| Withdrawal verification | Before the first trade: cumulative withdrawals of USD 500. After the first trade: USD 200 during the first 30 days; from day 31, any withdrawal. | These thresholds concern when verification is requested, not an exemption from identity requirements.Source 31 |
| Source of funds | Country-dependent thresholds start at USD 10,000; some are USD 15,000. Evidence can include payslips, tax returns, bank statements, investment records, inheritance or loan documentation. | Review estimate 24–48 hours; requested documents are due within seven business days. Trading or deposits can be restricted during review.Source 32 |

|---|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | USD 10 equivalent | No Doto fee; return to the original deposit card. | 1–5 business days.Source 43 |

Payment routing follows the deposit source: card funding can return to that card or an available bank route; QR funding normally withdraws to an available bank; bank funding does not withdraw to a card. Fast automatic approval is distinct from settlement: Doto’s processing guide allows one to five working days, excluding weekends and holidays.[48][49]
Deposit credits and withdrawal effects
Sections ↑Pricing & charges16
Bonus rate on a single qualifying deposit
A bonus is nonwithdrawable trading credit. Withdrawals and internal transfers remove credit proportionately, and cancellation of a withdrawal does not restore it. Unused credit can expire after 90 days; inactivity, insufficient equity, chargebacks or abuse can trigger removal. A receiving account gets no fresh bonus merely from an internal transfer. Participation is subject to age, residence and related-party eligibility rules; genuine trading profits remain withdrawable.[51]
Client protections and dispute handling
Sections ↑Protections & eligibility17
What the protection actually covers
| Arrangement | Scope | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Client money | The Client Agreement provides for segregated client-money accounts. | Segregation is not a guarantee against bank or counterparty shortfalls.Source 23 |
| Negative balance | Doto describes a review followed by resetting an eligible deficit to zero. | Fraud, abuse, bad faith and breaches of trading terms can be excluded; it does not prevent trading losses.Source 52 |
| Financial Commission | Doto’s current member page shows Active status and EUR 20,000 per complaint. | This is private dispute-resolution membership, separate from government authorisation.Source 54 |
| Compensation fund | Up to EUR 20,000 for eligible Commission judgments left unpaid by a member. | Not ordinary trading-loss or whole-client-base insolvency insurance. Digital-currency, managed-account and synthetic non-market complaints are excluded by the fund rules.Source 55 |

| Formal complaint | Submit the complaint form and evidence to [email protected]. | Acknowledgement: three business days; initial response: 15 business days.Source 53 |
| Final response | The policy targets 30 business days, with a holding response if investigation needs longer. | The time runs from receipt or the relevant response to a redress offer, whichever is earlier.Source 53 |
| External escalation | The policy provides Financial Commission dispute resolution and a further Mauritius FSC complaint route. | The external body’s eligibility and procedures govern its review.Source 53 |
