Prop firms by country FAQs

Which prop firms accept traders in my country?

Search your country in the grid above: the line under it says how many of the 20 firms we list accept residents there and how many refuse them. Only 3 countries are refused by all of them, so the real question is usually which firm, not whether. Each firm's dossier carries its own list.

Do futures prop firms accept US traders?

Yes. 20 of the 20 active firms on our list accept traders living in the United States. Futures firms sell simulated evaluation accounts rather than brokerage accounts, so the rules that keep Americans out of most offshore prop firms do not apply. The carve-outs sit at state level instead, and the US page lists them.

Which countries do the most prop firms refuse?

Cuba, Iran and Syria head the ranking on this page, each named by nearly every list we read. Sanctioned jurisdictions fill the top of it. Under them sit the countries where card fraud rates or payout partner coverage are the problem rather than sanctions law, and those are the ones worth checking firm by firm.

Why do the restricted lists differ so much between firms?

Because each list comes from a different broker, payout partner and legal team. Legends Trading names the fewest countries and Take Profit Trader the most. Only Cuba, Iran and Syria appear on all of them. Everything else is a firm by firm call, which is why a trader one firm bars can usually buy from another.

Does a restriction stop me buying, or only getting paid?

It always stops the payout and at some firms it stops the purchase too. Checkout will often take a card from anywhere, so a restricted country can end up holding an account it can never withdraw from. The block bites at KYC, which runs before the first payout, so check the list before you buy.

Can a VPN get around a country restriction?

No, and trying it is how accounts get closed with the balance forfeited. Firms decide your country from the identity documents you upload at KYC, not from the address you log in from, so a VPN changes nothing that counts. Residency is the test, which also means an American trading abroad keeps their account.

What does KYC mean for a prop firm payout?

Know Your Customer: the identity check a firm runs before it releases money. You upload a government ID and proof of address, usually to the firm's payout partner rather than the firm itself, and that document sets the country you count as living in. If the partner cannot onboard your country, nobody can pay you.

What is a restricted country list?

A restricted country list is the set of countries a prop firm will not take traders from, published in its terms. Sanctions law, its broker's compliance rules and its payout partner's coverage decide what goes on it. Every firm keeps its own and they change without notice, so these counts are read from the lists.
