One of the most frequent questions we receive at the TradeFather Bot support center is about account verification. Many traders worry that the process is complicated or designed to hold their funds.
The truth is quite the opposite: verification is a mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure that protects you against fraud and ensures your withdrawals are processed legally. If you are using the PQ TradeFather Bot, a verified account is non-negotiable for high-volume trading.
1. Why Verification is Mandatory
Pocket Option operates under international financial regulations. These rules require the broker to verify that you are a real person and not using the platform for money laundering. Verification unlocks:
- Unlimited Withdrawals: Verified accounts have no cap on the amount they can cash out.
- Faster Processing: Verified users are prioritized in the withdrawal queue.
- Security: It prevents unauthorized persons from withdrawing your funds, even if your account is compromised.
2. Phase 1: The Basics (Instant)
Email & Phone Verification
Go to the "Profile" section. You will see a "Verify Email" button. A link will be sent to your inbox—click it. Next, enter your mobile number. You will receive an SMS code. Enter it to link your phone. This enables Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), which is vital for bot security.
3. Phase 2: Identity Verification
This is where most traders make mistakes. To verify your identity, you need to upload a photo of an official document. Acceptable documents include:
- International Passport (The fastest and most reliable method).
- National ID Card (Front and Back).
- Driver's License (Front and Back).
Avoid These Rejection Reasons:
- Blurred Photos: If the text isn't readable, it will be rejected.
- Cropped Edges: All four corners of the document must be visible.
- Flash Glare: Ensure light isn't reflecting off the document's surface.
- Expired Docs: Your document must be valid for at least 3 more months.
4. Phase 3: Address Verification
Address verification is usually only required for high-volume traders or those using certain payment methods like Credit/Debit cards. You can provide:
- A bank statement (PDF or photo).
- A utility bill (Electricity, Water, or Internet).
- Tax documents or government correspondence.
Crucial Rule: The document must have been issued within the last 3 months and must clearly show your full name and current address as entered in your profile.
5. The TradeFather Verification "Hack"
If you signed up using our Affiliate Link, our support team has higher visibility into your account status. If your verification is taking longer than 48 hours, you can reach out to us on Telegram, and we can often flag your account for priority review by the Pocket Option compliance department.
6. Verification and Bot Performance
Does verification affect the bot? Yes. Pocket Option's risk management algorithms are more lenient with verified accounts. Unverified accounts that suddenly start winning with high frequency (using a bot) are more likely to trigger "manual review" pauses. Verification signals to the broker that you are a professional, transparent trader, allowing the TradeFather Bot to run smoothly without interruptions.
