1. ShaFX İçerik
ShaFX educational İçerik, calculators, Broker comparison data, and academy articles are intended for general informational use. We do not actively block İçerik access by country, but we do not certify that the İçerik is suitable for, or compliant with, the laws of every jurisdiction.
2. Partner Broker availability
Each Broker featured on ShaFX has its own list of restricted countries determined by its regulatory entity. Restrictions commonly apply to:
- Jurisdictions with sanctions or işlem restrictions
- Countries where the Broker is not licensed to offer services
- Countries where retail CFD or leveraged forex işlem is prohibited
- Countries where the Broker has chosen not to operate
Common restricted jurisdictions include but are not limited to: United States (for many CFD brokerlar), Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Crimea, certain provinces of Quebec, and countries on financial sanctions lists. The exact list varies by Broker entity and changes over time.
3. ShaFX cashback eligibility
cashback is ödendi only on işlemler made through uygun partner hesaplar. If a Broker does not legally serve your country, ShaFX cannot pay cashback on hesaplar opened in that country. We cannot circumvent Broker country restrictions, and we will not assist with attempts to do so.
4. Regional notices
United States
Many global CFD and forex brokerlar do not accept US clients. ShaFX does not piyasa services as a US-regulated Broker or registered investment adviser. US persons should consult a registered financial professional and use NFA / CFTC-regulated entities where applicable.
European Union & United Kingdom
Retail CFD işlem in the EU and UK is subject to ESMA / FCA leverage caps, negative-balance protection, and standardised risk warnings. ShaFX recommends only using brokerlar regulated by FCA, CySEC, BaFin, or other ESMA-aligned regulators when residing in these jurisdictions.
United Arab Emirates
UAE residents should use brokerlar authorised by the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), DFSA (DIFC), or FSRA (ADGM) where applicable.
Regions Without Domestic CFD Regulation
In jurisdictions where there is no domestic forex/CFD regulator, yatırımcılar typically transact through internationally regulated brokerlar operating under offshore or third-country entities. ShaFX provides educational İçerik for yatırımcılar worldwide but does not endorse any specific Broker entity for any specific country. Always verify Broker licensing, deposit and withdrawal channels, and local banking and tax compliance independently before opening an hesap.
Saudi Arabia
The Saudi Capital piyasa Authority (CMA) regulates licensed entities. Use of unlicensed offshore brokerlar may be subject to local restrictions. Confirm Broker licensing before opening an hesap.
