Questions
I am a citizen of a supported country but live in a restricted one. Can I sign up?
No. Residence decides. Use only services that are licensed or allowed where you live.
Why can't I see the sign-up buttons?
Because your country of residence (based on your location) does not allow this program. Nothing here will help you bypass it.
What should I do with my account when I move back home?
Check the exchange’s terms for your new country of residence and update your details if required. If the service is restricted there, follow the exchange’s official instructions — never use tools to hide where you live.
