Govprotraders.net Review: Key Risk Signals
Short answer: High risk. Do not deposit with govprotraders.net. The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority added the firm to its Warning List on 21 July 2026, stating it is not authorised or registered by the FCA. A firm the FCA has named as unauthorised is not one to trust with your money.
What the regulators found
The FCA Warning List entry for govprotraders.net, added 21 July 2026 and updated the same day, states the firm “is not authorised or registered by the FCA”. The FCA Warning List covers firms the regulator is concerned are operating without its permission. The FCA finding is given here as text and date only, as no dedicated FCA warning page URL was confirmed in this check.
govprotraders.net is not govprotrading.com. The FCA lists govprotrading.com as a separate Warning List entry, added 30 September 2026. This review covers govprotraders.net only — the two domains are different operations as far as the FCA’s records show, and nothing about govprotrading.com is used here.

– **Proposed tags:** Govprotraders, FCA warning, unauthorised firm
– **Featured template:** Regulator Warning
– **Issues / warnings:** FCA warning cited as text/date only — no dedicated FCA page URL was confirmed in this check, so no FCA link. govprotrading.com was explicitly NOT used — separate FCA entry, different domain. Only the pig-butchering guide is in the GSC indexed list (Table.csv); the what-to-do-after-being-scammed guide link is a live RSF guide but is NOT verified as indexed — do not present it as indexed. Company site unreachable (curl 000), so no screenshot available.
