igold (Acetop Precious Metals) Spot Gold Scam Warning

igold is a leveraged spot gold and silver (LLG/LLS) trading brand offered by Hong Kong-based Acetop Precious Metals Limited through en.igoldhk.com. In a warning recorded in October 2026, a long-standing customer alleged artificial price gaps and unjustified deductions from his account.

In short: igold is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). In leveraged gold trading, the claims of price gaps and deductions stand out. For investments made from Türkiye, claiming the losses back is legally possible.
What this article covers

🏷️ Who Is igold, and Is It the Same as Acetop.uk?

The site displays membership No. 145 of the Hong Kong gold exchange HKGX and a registration certificate numbered A-B-23-06-00639; the domain igoldhk.com has been in use since 2011. These foreign registrations are not valid for investment services in Türkiye. The Acetop.uk forex schemeTR that we covered earlier is a different scheme with a similar name; its domain and way of operating differ.

🚩 The Price-Gap and Deduction Claim

  • Positions closing on price jumps that did not occur in the market
  • Unexplained swap or other deductions taken from the account
  • Small moves eroding the margin because of high leverage

The fact that the party setting the price in leveraged gold trading is also the counterparty is the main source of disputes of this kind.

🔗 Similar Records on Hong Kong Gold Platforms

We have also examined before other platforms offering leveraged gold trading through Hong Kong.

🧭 The Legal Process

SPK Board Decision No. 8/297 of 24 February 2017 treats the brokering of foreign leveraged trading platforms from Türkiye as unauthorised activity.

  1. The arbitration clause in foreign broker contracts
  2. Ways of getting a refund from a foreign firm
