A template nobody finished
The browser tab reads “Home – Ticket” — the name of the website template, not the broker. A firm that has not set its own page title has not done the much harder work of getting licensed.

‘Trusted’
The site calls itself “a trusted and innovative trading environment”. It shows no regulator, licence number, company or address that would let anyone check the word “trusted”.
The ‘new’ Pips Star
“Welcome to the new PIPS STAR” suggests an older version existed. Brokers that relaunch under the same name often do so after complaints or warnings.
Promotions and partnerships
The menu leads with Quick start, Promotions and Partnerships. Bonuses and introducer payments are the usual tools of unlicensed brokers. It is listed on the BrokersView (FastBull) scam broker list.
⚠ Verified evidence
- Listed on the BrokersView (FastBull) scam broker list.
- Page title still the template’s “Home – Ticket”.

Where Pips Star should appear — and does not
The quickest test is IOSCO’s I-SCAN database and the register of the regulator where you live: search “Pips Star” and, separately, pipsstar.com. Check how old the address is too — pipsstar.com dates from 28 July 2024. A company number is not a licence — only a financial regulator can grant one. Search the name with the words “warning” and “reviews” too — victims often post first.
The verdict: Pips Star has not finished its own website, let alone a licence. Do not deposit.
