Below is a consolidated “map” of offshore registrations and entities linked to the Pocket Option brand, as of August 2025. The data is taken from the brand’s official pages and related resources, with primary sources indicated.

Key Legal Entities and Offshore Jurisdictions

In the page footers one can find “Copyright ©2025 Pocket Option” (on pocketoption.com) and “©2025 PO TRADE” (on PO Trade domains), indicating parallel use of several trade names/sites.

Regulatory Statements and Status

• The “Regulation” modal names IFMRRC for Gembell Limited (a non-governmental, non-statutory body).

• Several reviewers point to “offshore”/non-recognized regulation (IFMRRC, Mwali/MISA) and report MISA license suspension for Infinite Trade LLC on 11 Jul 2023 (third-party reports; MISA is the registrar/authority on Mwali, Union of the Comoros). These claims are published by third-party sites and must be independently verified in primary registers.

• CFTC (USA) RED List: “Pocket Option” is listed as an organization engaging in activity requiring registration but not registered with the CFTC; inclusion is not a judicial finding of a violation.

Timeline (per available publications)

• 2017 — Site indicates registration of Gembell Limited (Marshall Islands).

• 2022 — PO TRADE LTD (Saint Lucia), reg. no. 2019-00207, appears in the Privacy Policy (PDF).

• 2023 — Third-party sources report MISA suspension for Infinite Trade LLC (Comoros/Mwali).

• 2025 — On pocketoption.com, the active Public Offer and Contacts uniformly reference Infinite Trade LLC (Costa Rica); the brand’s blog states the legal base is in Costa Rica.

Conclusions on the Offshore Structure

• Multi-jurisdiction model. Over the years and across domains, several offshore companies appear behind Pocket Option / PO Trade (Marshall Islands, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, now Costa Rica). This is typical of offshore online financial services with global reach.

• Legal wording has shifted over time. The current pocketoption.com version anchors key agreements and contacts to Infinite Trade LLC (Costa Rica), whereas historical pages/documents refer to Gembell Limited (Marshall Islands) and PO TRADE LTD (Saint Lucia).

• As of 2025, Pocket Option ties its contracts and contacts to Infinite Trade LLC (Costa Rica, reg. 4062001303240). Historically, Gembell Limited (Marshall Islands) and PO TRADE LTD (Saint Lucia) appeared, and third-party reviews mention PO Trade (SV) Ltd (SVG). The regulatory frame is offshore/alternative, without licenses from recognized state supervisors (also present on the CFTC RED List).

Intersection Map (what is linked)

PO TRADE LTD (Saint Lucia)
Listed on brand pages as the operator/holder of the po.trade domain and as a registered entity no. 2019-00207 (address: Rodney Bayside Building, Rodney Bay, Gros-Islet).
The address “Suite No. 2, Rodney Bayside Building …” matches the registered agent Colonial Trust Company Ltd (FSRA agent in Saint Lucia), explaining why many companies share this address. This does not prove ownership/affiliation, but shows a typical registration infrastructure.

PO TRADE (SV) LTD (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines)
A public warning by the Romanian regulator ASF directly pairs PO TRADE (SV) LTD and PO TRADE LTD with the Pocket Option brand (placing them within the same brand perimeter). For primary verification of the SVG entity, use the FSA SVG Entity Name Search.

Infinite Trade LLC (Costa Rica / Mwali, Comoros)
On the official pocketoption.com blog: “Pocket Option operated by Infinite Trade LLC (CR, reg. no. 4062001303240)”; in the footer: “all brokerage services on this site are provided by Infinite Trade LLC.”
MISA (Mwali/Comoros) lists Infinite Trade LLC — license T2023322 — Suspended 11/07/2023. If any materials still claim an “active license,” that is a clear mismatch.

Gembell Limited (Marshall Islands) — historically linked to the Pocket Option brand
The pocketoption.com “Regulation” modal still mentions Gembell Limited (MH 96960, reg. no. 86967) and “IFMRRC license” (a private body, not a state regulator). This confirms historical use of this entity within the brand.

Shared address trail (Rodney Bayside, Suite No. 2)
The PO TRADE LTD offer address matches the official registered agent Colonial Trust (FSRA). The address also appears in the ICIJ database as a “hub” used by many offshore structures—evidence of mass use, not of beneficial ownership.

Bottom-Line Answer

Yes, intersections exist. At least four names recur within the Pocket Option / PO Trade brand perimeter:

• PO TRADE LTD (Saint Lucia) — own pages/offer, owner of po.trade.

• PO TRADE (SV) LTD (SVG) — regulator ASF links it to the same brand.

• Infinite Trade LLC (Costa Rica / Mwali) — brand publications + MISA “Suspended”.

• Gembell Limited (Marshall Islands) — “Regulation” modal on pocketoption.com.

Related Structures and Names

• The Italian regulator CONSOB (2020) mentioned the chain Gembell Limited – PO TRADE LTD – Tifiya Group s.r.o. in blocking notices (re: PocketOption brand).

• In the Czech register for Tifiya Group s.r.o., public managers/shareholders (at different dates) include Stanislav Saltykov, Evgeny Proskurov (earlier also Aleksey/Alexey Smirnov). This does not prove roles at PO TRADE LTD, but shows persons associated with a company that appears alongside PO TRADE in a regulator’s notice.

Note: “PO Trade/PocketOption is controlled by Evgenii Kalashnikov” is a media claim not confirmed by primary registers.

Tifiya Group s.r.o. (IČO 24280721, Czech Republic) — Key People & Chronology

• Aleksey/Alexey Smirnov — historical shareholder and director since incorporation (26 Mar 2012). Listed as 100% shareholder and director from 26 Mar 2012; name correction on 25 Sep 2013; later exited on 24 Nov 2020 (replaced). Reflected in the company’s change log.

• Stanislav Saltykov — entered 24 Nov 2020 as sole shareholder (100%) and director; also recorded as “skutečný majitel” (beneficial owner) from 01 Jun 2021 (status re-recorded 01 Oct 2022 under new rules); removed 17–21 Aug 2023 (first from governing bodies/shareholders, then from the beneficial owners register).

• Evgeny Proskurov — since 17 Aug 2023 listed as director and sole shareholder (100%); since 21 Aug 2023 the beneficial owner (“skutečný majitel”). The card also shows an address (Kaliningrad) that appears in the filings.

Gembell (UK) Limited (10471113, United Kingdom) — Direct Name Link

Company incorporated in 2016, dissolved on 20 Feb 2018.

• Director: Stanislav SALTYKOV (DOB 11/1986), appointed 09 Nov 2016.

• Persons with Significant Control (PSC):

  • Stanislav Saltykov — more than 50% of voting rights (controlling stake).

  • Aleksey Smirnov — between 25% and 50% of voting rights.

This provides a direct, document-backed intersection of Saltykov and Smirnov in an entity linked to the Gembell/PocketOption brand (the PocketOption “Regulation” modal still states “Gembell Limited (Marshall Islands), reg. no. 86967”—part of the same brand perimeter).

Conservative Conclusions on Individuals

• Stanislav Saltykov

  • Czech Republic: sole shareholder/director at Tifiya Group s.r.o. (24 Nov 2020 → 17–21 Aug 2023), beneficial owner (2021–2023).

  • United Kingdom: director & PSC at Gembell (UK) Limited (2016–2018), holding a controlling stake.

• Evgeny Proskurov

  • Since Aug 2023 — current director, sole shareholder and beneficial owner of Tifiya Group s.r.o. (replacing Saltykov).

• Aleksey/Alexey Smirnov

  • Historical founder/director/shareholder at Tifiya Group s.r.o. (2012–2013/2019–2020 in various roles; fully exited 24 Nov 2020).

  • UK: PSC at Gembell (UK) Limited (25–50% voting rights).

Regulator Context (background for brand links)

• CONSOB (Italy) in 2020 mentioned the Gembell Limited – PO TRADE LTD – Tifiya Group s.r.o. linkage in blocking notices (re PocketOption).

Link Map (Person → Company / Role → Sources)

Stanislav Saltykov

• Director & PSC (>50%) at GEMBELL (UK) LIMITED (UK), company dissolved; appointed 09 Nov 2016.

• Co-owner/sole shareholder, director and (earlier) beneficial owner at Tifiya Group s.r.o. (Czech Republic) until 17–21 Aug 2023; then removed. The chronology of shareholder/director changes and beneficial-owner register entries is reflected in justice.cz-based extracts.

Aleksey (Alexey/Aleksei) Smirnov (note: very common name; the matches below are tied by context)

• PSC (25–50%) at GEMBELL (UK) LIMITED (UK). PSC page shows May 1968 as DOB, distinguishing from homonyms at Companies House.

• Founder/sole shareholder and director of Tifiya Group s.r.o. (Czech Republic) since 2012; lost roles in 2020 and was removed as shareholder by 24 Nov 2020.

Evgeny (Evgenii) Proskurov

• Since 08 Aug 2023 — director and sole shareholder of Tifiya Group s.r.o. (Czech Republic); since 21 Aug 2023 recorded as beneficial owner.

• Linked to ITTRENDEX OÜ (Estonia) as management/owner since July 2023 — per Estonian business aggregators mirroring the e-Äriregister (official detailed cards available via RIK).

More companies in the same niche: no direct state-register records were found tying these names to other forex/binary structures (MI/SVG/Comoros have limited public data). However, for Estonia, ITTRENDEX OÜ is recorded for Proskurov (IT activity) — likely an infrastructure company (development/support), not a licensed broker.

Homonym Risk

The names Aleksey/Alexey/Aleksei Smirnov and Evgeny/Evgenii Proskurov are very common. Only matches confirmed by context (shared companies, dates, roles) are included; other occurrences without a link to the above companies are excluded.

What Exists in Numbers (primary data)

Tifiya Group s.r.o. (IČO 24280721, CZ) — balance sheet, ths. CZK
(micro-entity; “Rozvaha”; no profit-and-loss statement)

• 31 Dec 2024: Net assets 762 — non-current 624, current 138. Equity 681, liabilities 81.

• 31 Dec 2023: Same values — net assets 762; equity 681; liabilities 81. Notes show average headcount 0.

• 31 Dec 2022: Same values — net assets 762; equity 681; liabilities 81.

Conclusion for Tifiya: public filings do not disclose revenue/profit; the static balances and zero headcount suggest a “thin” service node/shell without visible operating activity.

Showing the brand’s overall “profitability” from primary sources is not possible: there is no public P&L for the offshore operators, and the CZ node provides balance only.

Summary of Established Facts

• Fragmented offshore legal perimeter. Historically includes PO TRADE LTD (Saint Lucia), PO TRADE (SV) Ltd (SVG), Infinite Trade LLC (Comoros/Mwali; Costa Rican company number appears in offers), and Gembell (UK) Limited (earlier; now dissolved). This mix lowers transparency and raises regulatory risk.

• Critical trigger: Infinite Trade LLC shows MISA license “Suspended” since 11 Jul 2023 (official “Suspended Companies” list). Any public claims of an “active” Comoros license should be treated as inconsistent.

• SVG does not license forex/crypto brokers. SVG regulators/financial intelligence explicitly state forex in SVG is not regulated (registration ≠ license).

• Payment acceptance via a wide network of third-party providers and crypto rails. Official “Payment methods” list cards, e-wallets/PSPs, local banking gateways (PIX/PSE, etc.) and crypto (incl. Binance/Bybit Pay). The payments policy stresses these are third-party methods and “are not the company’s partners,” i.e., flows pass via external intermediaries—raising the risk of multi-step routing.

• No public financial P&L for the “core.” In the offshore core (St. Lucia IBC / SVG / Comoros / Costa Rica) P&L is not disclosed in public registers. For UK/CZ only historical cards exist (Gembell UK dissolved; Tifiya CZ micro-balances, no revenue).

• Regulatory background: CONSOB (Italy) linked the PocketOption/PO TRADE brand to Tifiya Group s.r.o. in blocking notices (a content fact, not a criminal conclusion).

How This Fits AML/CFT Typologies (hypotheses, not assertions)

• Layering via multi-step payments and dispersed PSPs. Deposits → third-party e-wallets/local gateways → consolidation at aggregators → onward payments to “affiliated services” (marketing/IT/outsourcing). This impedes tracing of original sources.

• Crypto “bridges” (VA/VASP). Accepting/withdrawing in USDT/BTC/other VAs, incl. via Binance/Bybit Pay, enables rapid cross-border movement and breaks the banking trail (then FIAT via licensed/unlicensed VASPs). Recognized risk in FATF standards.

• Invoice laundering / merchant-descriptor obfuscation. Relabeling payments as “IT/marketing/advertising” between “thin” companies (CZ/EE, etc.) can operate as a masking layer if actual services don’t match the money flow. (A common typology in online gambling/trading; not a claim it’s used here.)

• Online-gambling-like risks. Fast deposits/withdrawals, bonuses and internal transfers create vulnerabilities similar to i-gaming (placement via deposits, layering via trading/game ops, integration as “winnings/payouts”). FATF/Basel Institute flag the sector as high-risk.

These are typologies. To assert their application by this company, primary payment artifacts are required (receipts, merchant descriptors, tx-hashes, etc.).

Red Flags

• Mwali license mismatch: MISA shows Suspended (11 Jul 2023) for Infinite Trade LLC, while some public materials still claim “licensing/regulation.”

• SVG as “regulation by registration.” No forex licensing in SVG; presenting SVG as a regulator misleads consumers.

• Wide third-party payment mesh + crypto. Official pages/policies confirm acquiring via third parties and VA gateways—complicating source-of-funds monitoring and creating room for layering.

• No public P&L. For the core structure there is no verifiable revenue/profit in public registers, preventing confirmation/refutation without bank/VASP data.

What Can Be Considered a “Cover” (theory)

• Multi-node offshore registrations + “regulatory” marketing. Registering in several jurisdictions with differing disclosure levels and emphasizing “we have a company/regulation,” even where real supervision may be absent (SVG) or suspended (Mwali). A typical trust-building façade without real transparency.

• Outsourced “technical” nodes (CZ/EE, etc.). Micro-companies with near-zero filings/staff used as proxies for contracts/payments (IT, marketing, affiliates), allowing a lawful narrative for money movements without revealing customer flows. (The CZ node shows only a “thin” balance publicly.)
