Retail FX brokerage RoboForex has onboarded the SpotOption binary options platform in order to launch its new binary options brand, RoboOption.

The firm made a subtle statement a few months ago by way of a news article on the RoboForex website that a partnership with SpotOption was imminent, which has now come to fruition as the RoboOption.com website has gone live.

Regardless of the long-standing industry debate as to whether binary options are best categorized as a financial instrument or a gaming product, many FX firms have taken the opportunity to add binary options to their product range, some of which include AvaTrade, Markets.com, FXDD and Alpari’s Russian operations.
