Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tickmill regulated?
Yes. Tickmill is authorised by CySEC, issued to the entity Tickmill Europe Ltd, an authorisation you can look up for yourself on the official CySEC public register.
What is the minimum deposit for Tickmill in Croatia?
The cover charge is $100, the smallest amount Croatia traders need to open a live account with Tickmill under CySEC rules.
What leverage does Tickmill offer in Croatia?
In Croatia, CySEC rules cap Tickmill at 1:30 on forex pairs. A larger pour is sometimes available through offshore-regulated entities, with thinner protection to match.
Is Tickmill safe to trade with?
The kitchen passes inspection: Tickmill cooks under CySEC. A tier-1 regulator insists on segregated client money, negative balance protection and independent audits, while lighter offshore regimes offer weaker cover and often no compensation scheme. That does not make trading risk-free, so check which entity holds your account and what protections actually apply before you deposit.
