MagKing

After reviewing MagKing, we assess it as a high-risk, likely fraudulent broker. Below we break down exactly why, and what your options are if you have already deposited.

Who is MagKing?

On the surface, MagKing looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://www.forex40.com/. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind MagKing is where the problems begin.

Is MagKing regulated?

MagKing provides no verifiable regulatory licence. An unregulated broker answers to no one: it can freeze withdrawals, invent fees, and disappear with deposits, all without consequence. This alone is reason enough to stay away.

Red flags we identified

• Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
• No credible physical address or verifiable corporate record
• Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
• Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
• Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more

Our analysis

The British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) said that MagKing is not registered to trade in, or advise on, securities or derivatives in BC and urged BC residents to exercise caution when dealing with the company: https://www.bcsc.bc.ca/enforcement/early-intervention/investment-caution-list/2021/magking-limited-international-group-pty-lt.

Can you recover money lost to MagKing?

If you have deposited with MagKing, do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw — that is part of the trap. Funds sent to operations like this can sometimes be traced on-chain and pursued through the exchanges and processors that received them. Whether recovery is realistic depends on how you paid and how quickly you act.
