Who is GAINLIT?
GAINLIT markets itself as an online trading and investment service. Its public site is presented at https://gainlit.com/index/. As with most operations of this kind, the polished front end conceals a lack of the basic protections a real, regulated broker is required to provide.
Is GAINLIT regulated?
We could find no evidence that GAINLIT holds a valid licence from any recognised financial regulator. Trading client funds without authorisation is one of the strongest indicators of a scam — there is no regulator to complain to, and no protection for your money.
Red flags we identified
- No verifiable licence from a recognised financial regulator
- Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
- Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
- Aggressive “account managers” coaching clients to deposit
- Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
Our analysis
GAINLIT claims to be the trading name of Raw Trading Ltd, which is regulated by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA). We searched the Seychelles FSA's list of licensed entities and found Raw Trading Ltd. However, the registered website belongs to IC Markets and the operating brand name is IC Markets only. There is no information indicating that GAINLIT is one of its brands. Therefore, it is very likely that GAINLIT has misused the regulatory information of a legit broker to mislead investors into believing that it is qualified as a forex broker. GAINLIT is suspected to be a scam.
Can you recover money lost to GAINLIT?
If you have deposited with GAINLIT, 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.
