I've heard of eToro several times and even saw some of its advertisements. However, as a resident of Bahrain, I was curious to know if this broker is accessible to users like me.

To satisfy this curiosity, and because I am interested in their trading platform, I decided to explore the possibility of opening an account with them. Here, I share my experience and findings regarding the availability of their investment services for Bahrain traders.

 

1st Step: Registration

The first step in my journey was to visit their official website. I spent a few minutes browsing the site to understand what it could offer me, should it be accessible in Bahrain. After this initial exploration, I proceeded to register an account.

During the sign-up process, I provided a preferred username, password, and my email address. So far, there were no indications or notifications suggesting that their services were unsupported in Bahrain. In fact, during registration, I observed nothing to contradict this.

 

Next Step: Account Verification

After submitting my details, the next step was to verify my account. I followed the instructions sent to my email and successfully accessed the trading platform. However, a notification alerted me that to fully utilize their service, I needed to complete a verification process. This process was straightforward and took less than 10 minutes.

 

And the Online Trading Journey Begins!

Once verified, I made my first deposit, which is $200 for eToro Bahrain users, and encountered no issues. With my account funded, I gained full access to the platform and was able to invest in various markets. It was interesting to note that all the asset classes mentioned on their website were available. This includes stocks, commodities, indices, currencies/forex, cryptocurrencies, and ETFs. I've read in some reviews and online discussions that in some countries, some assets types are not allowed so I'm glad that I am able to get access to all of them.

From this experience, it is clear that eToro is indeed available in Bahrain. Users from this country can access the full range of services and invest in various asset classes offered by this broker.
