Where firms publish restrictions
This is the opposite question to the country directory, and it is a different product on purpose. A restriction is something a firm said. Everything else — silence, an unnamed country, a policy page that does not mention you — is not a restriction and is not permission either. Rex keeps those apart so a blank cell can never be mistaken for a green light.

Do not try to work around a restriction
A VPN, a borrowed address or a false residency declaration breaches the agreement you sign at purchase. Firms verify residence before the first payout, not at signup — so the usual outcome is a passed evaluation and a refused withdrawal, with the fee kept.

Countries worth checking first
These come up most often in prop-firm terms — usually for sanctions, licensing or payment-rail reasons rather than anything about the trader. Being on this list does not mean every firm restricts the country; open one to see who actually does.
Countries carrying a restriction
Every country a firm's record names as restricted, most restrictions first. A country no firm names is not listed here — silence is not a restriction, and it is not permission either.

The six answers, and why they are not the same
Most comparison sites collapse these into a yes or a no. The difference between them is the difference between a payout and a refusal.
What is being said
- Available
- The firm states it opens accounts for residents here.
- Restricted
- The firm states a limit — sometimes on purchase, sometimes only at payout.
- Not available
- The firm states it does not serve this country at all.
- Unknown
- The firm publishes a country policy that does not name this country. That is not permission.
- No policy published
- The firm publishes no country policy at all.
Who said it
- CITED
- The position Rex’s record holds for this firm. Only a stated position counts as coverage; unknown never does.
- FICTIONAL FIRM
- The firm is one of the invented firms in the sample dataset, so its policy is seeded rather than published. Never a reason to buy.
