What is a Binary Option?
A binary option, also referred to as a digital option or a fixed return option, is an option in which payout is determined at the onset of the contract. It pays a fixed amount of cash if the option expires in-the-money, independent of the magnitude by which the price of the underlying asset moves. anyoption™ offers you a 65%-71% payout when the option expires in-the-money, and a 15% return if the option expires out-of-the-money. The option cannot be sold before its expiration.

What return will I get for a successful investment?
A successful investment will result in a guaranteed return indicated on the site for the underlying asset that you selected.
In the event that the option expires out-of-the-money, you will get a 15% refund of your investment amount. Close
In the event that the option expires out-of-the-money, your account will be credited automatically with 15% of the original investment amount. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a Nasdaq Call option, and at the time of expiry the level was lower than that at which you made the investment - you will automatically receive a refund of $150.
