A primary knowledge section
What a third-party website is, how it connects to Deriv, how these businesses tend to operate, and how to judge whether one deserves your trust.
A first-party site is operated by the platform itself — Deriv's own domains. A third-party site is operated independently, and connects to Deriv on a user's behalf, typically through the public API.
To offer something the first-party platform doesn't: specialised dashboards, automation tools, educational content, analytics, or a simplified interface for a specific audience.
In broad, conceptual terms, third-party sites in this space tend to fall into a few categories:
Education, research and documentation — sites like this one.
Paid dashboards, analytics or bot-hosting platforms built on the API.
Sites earning commission for referring active users to Deriv.
Content, SEO or funnel-building aimed at this ecosystem specifically.
Custom API integration, bot development and technical consulting.
Tools that surface patterns in market or account data without executing trades.
Read before you trust one
A proper domain with a valid HTTPS certificate is a baseline, not a guarantee — but its absence is an immediate red flag.
Legitimate services are generally clear about who operates them and how to contact them.
Real legal pages, specific to the service, not copied boilerplate.
Should route through Deriv's own authorisation flow — be wary of any site asking you to type your Deriv password directly into a third-party form.
Question any tool requesting trading access when its stated purpose is only to display information.
Always check the actual domain in your browser bar before entering any credentials.
Guaranteed returns, "risk-free" trading or promised daily profits are a strong signal to walk away.
Two-factor authentication support and clear session/token handling are good signs of a well-built service.
