Q: The list changed. Which version applies to me?

A: The version in effect on the day your application is reviewed. Because the list is updated periodically, a country may be added or removed over time. If you were declined previously, contact support to check current eligibility before reapplying.

Q: I moved to an approved country. What should I do?

A: Contact support with your current address and proof of address documentation. Your account details will need to be updated and re-reviewed.

Q: Can I use a VPN or another address to get around this?

A: No. Misrepresenting your country or address violates the account agreement and will result in your application being declined or your account being closed. It also creates problems at the funding stage, since deposits must come from a bank account or card in your own name.

Q: Why is my country on this list?

A: Restrictions are based on OFAC sanctions, FATF high-risk jurisdiction designations, and NinjaTrader Clearing LLC compliance policy. Slay Markets cannot disclose the specific reason a particular country is restricted.

Q: I hold dual citizenship. Am I eligible?

A: Eligibility is assessed based on the full set of information provided in your application, including current residency and all citizenships. Contact support@slaymarkets.com before applying if you have questions about your specific situation.

Key takeaway: Slay Markets cannot open accounts for residents or citizens of the 60 countries listed above. The list is reviewed periodically — the version in effect on the day your application is reviewed is what applies.
