Industry, legal and operations
Restricted jurisdiction
A country a firm will not serve, for legal, regulatory, sanctions or payment-provider reasons. Restrictions can change, and they apply to where a trader actually is rather than what an address says.
GFN’s figure
GFN may restrict access from certain jurisdictions for legal, regulatory, payment-provider or compliance reasons, so eligibility can depend on your country of residence. A restriction can also be introduced after you have joined.
In detail
Restricted jurisdiction,explained
Restrictions are not a judgement about a country's traders. They follow from the rules the firm and its payment providers operate under, and they can change when those rules do.
Using a false address or a VPN to get around one puts the account and any profit in it at risk, because the mismatch surfaces at verification - which is to say, at the payout.

Terms thatcome with it
Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.
Sanctions screening
Checking customers and payments against sanctions lists before money moves. It is a legal obligation on the payments provider as much as on the firm, and it is not discretionary.
KYC
The process of confirming who owns an account, using identity documents and supporting information. It is required before money moves, and it is the most common cause of a delayed first payout.
AML
The controls a firm operates to prevent its services being used to move criminal proceeds. In practice it means identity checks, monitoring for unusual patterns, and refusing payments that cannot be explained.
Terms of service
The contract between a trader and a firm, covering purchases, account rules, payouts and termination. It governs everything the marketing pages summarise, and where a page and the terms disagree, the terms are what applies.
VPS
A rented always-on server used to run trading software continuously. It keeps an automated strategy running through a local power cut, a lost connection or a closed laptop.
