Last updated: 31 May 2026  |  Effective immediately

⚠️ HIGH-RISK TRADING WARNING: Binary options trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not appropriate for all investors. You may lose some or all of your deposited funds. Only trade with money you can afford to lose. This platform is for entertainment and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using WhaleTraders KE ("Platform", "we", "us", or "our"), creating an account, depositing funds, or placing any trade, you ("User", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use this Platform.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and WhaleTraders KE. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Nature of the Platform

WhaleTraders KE is a binary prediction platform operating in Kenya that allows users to predict whether the price of a given financial instrument (synthetic indices, cryptocurrencies) will rise or fall within a fixed time period.

WhaleTraders KE is not a licensed broker, investment adviser, financial institution, or regulated financial services provider. The Platform does not offer investment products and does not provide financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. All predictions and trades are speculative in nature.

Synthetic indices offered on this Platform are simulated assets whose prices are derived from random number generators or algorithmic models and are not tied to real-world financial instruments.

3. Eligibility

To use this Platform, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age.
  • Be a resident of or physically located in Kenya (or a jurisdiction where such activity is not prohibited).
  • Have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts.
  • Not be accessing the Platform from a jurisdiction where binary options trading is explicitly prohibited.

By registering, you represent and warrant that you meet all of the above eligibility requirements. We reserve the right to request proof of age or identity at any time and to suspend accounts where eligibility cannot be confirmed.

4. Account Registration and Security

You must create an account to use the trading features of the Platform. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information during registration.
  • Maintain the confidentiality of your account credentials.
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account.
  • Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.

Each user is permitted to maintain one account only. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent limits, abuse bonuses, or manipulate the Platform is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination of all associated accounts and forfeiture of any balances.

5. Deposits

Deposits are processed exclusively via M-Pesa(Safaricom). The minimum deposit is KES 10 and the maximum is KES 150,000 per transaction.

Deposits are credited to your trading wallet upon successful M-Pesa confirmation. All deposits are non-refundable once credited to your wallet. If a payment fails before crediting, you will not be charged.

Deposited funds are subject to a 7-day lock periodbefore they become withdrawable as principal. However, trading profits earned on deposited funds become withdrawable immediately, subject to wagering requirements.

We reserve the right to reject, suspend, or reverse deposits suspected of originating from fraudulent, criminal, or money-laundering activity.

6. Trading Rules

When placing a trade, you predict whether an asset's price will be higher (RISE) or lower (FALL) at the expiry time. A correct prediction results in a fixed payout of 105% of the trade amount (a 5% net profit). An incorrect prediction results in the loss of the full trade amount.

Trade parameters:

  • Minimum trade: KES 10
  • Maximum trade: KES 100,000
  • Expiry times: 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes
  • Maximum trade duration: 5 minutes

Trades are final once placed and cannot be cancelled or modified. Trade outcomes are determined solely by the live market price at expiry and are not subject to negotiation or dispute on grounds of market movement.

In the event of a technical error, system failure, or incorrect price feed at the time of trade placement or resolution, we reserve the right to void affected trades and refund the trade amount to the user's wallet.

7. Withdrawals and Platform Fees

You may withdraw trading profits to your M-Pesa number subject to the following conditions:

  • Wagering requirement: You must trade at least 3× your total deposited amount before any withdrawal is permitted.
  • 50% cap: Each withdrawal is limited to a maximum of 50% of your available withdrawable profits.
  • Minimum balance: A minimum balance of KES 100 must remain in your wallet after withdrawal.
  • 24-hour cooldown: Only one withdrawal is permitted per 24-hour period.
  • Platform fee: A 5% fee is deducted from each withdrawal amount.
  • Withdrawal amount range: KES 10 – KES 150,000.

Withdrawals are processed via M-Pesa B2C and typically arrive within minutes, subject to Safaricom processing times. We do not guarantee delivery timelines but will process all valid withdrawal requests promptly.
