Compliance & Risk
Restricted countries, KYC requirements, prohibited trading practices, and special rules
🌍 Restricted Countries
WeMasterTrade cannot offer services to residents of certain countries due to legal, regulatory, and sanctions requirements.
Accepting clients from restricted countries violates compliance rules and can result in account termination for both the client AND the referring affiliate.
| Restricted Country / Region | Reason |
|---|---|
| 🇨🇺 Cuba | US Sanctions / OFAC |
| 🇱🇧 Lebanon | Financial risk / sanctions |
| 🇸🇾 Syria | US/UN Sanctions |
| 🇰🇵 North Korea | US/UN Sanctions |
| 🇷🇺 Russia | International sanctions |
| Other OFAC-sanctioned regions | Regulatory compliance |
If a prospective client is from a country not on this list but you're unsure, escalate to the compliance team before proceeding. Never take risks with restricted-country clients.
🪪 KYC (Know Your Customer) Requirements
Every trader must complete KYC verification before they can withdraw profits. Encourage clients to complete KYC early to avoid delays when requesting payouts.
KYC Requirements
- Legal age requirement — Clients must be of legal age (18+) in their country of residence
- Government-issued ID — Passport, national ID, or driver's license
- Proof of address — Utility bill or bank statement (not older than 3 months)
- KYC must be completed before the first payout request
- Some countries may require additional documentation
🚫 Prohibited Trading Practices
Certain trading strategies are strictly prohibited because they exploit platform vulnerabilities rather than demonstrating real trading skill.
If detected, the trader's account will be closed immediately with no refund and no appeal. There are NO warnings for most of these violations.
| Prohibited Practice | Description | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Tick Scalping | Opening and closing trades in seconds to exploit quote latency | Immediate termination |
| Large Hedging | Placing opposite positions across multiple accounts to guarantee profit | Immediate termination |
| Arbitrage | Exploiting price differences between brokers/feeds | Immediate termination |
Other Prohibited Activities
- Using any third-party service that guarantees passing the challenge
- Account sharing or allowing others to trade the funded account
- Copy trading from an external signal provider designed to exploit the evaluation
- Coordinated group trading to manipulate evaluation results
⚡ Special Rules: Indonesia & Thailand
For clients in Indonesia and Thailand, the first violation of any trading rule results in immediate account termination. There are NO second chances or warnings for these regions.
- This applies to all rule violations, not just prohibited practices
- Applies to Challenge, Instant Funding, and Funded accounts
- When onboarding Indonesian or Thai clients, emphasize this zero-tolerance policy
- Ensure these clients fully understand ALL rules before they start trading
✅ Compliance Best Practices for Sales Partners
As a sales partner, you are the first point of contact for clients. Proper client education about rules protects both the client's investment and your commission.
- Always verify country eligibility before helping a client sign up
- Communicate the refund policy clearly before purchase
- Explain prohibited practices — don't assume clients know
- Emphasize KYC — early verification prevents payout delays
- Indonesia/Thailand clients — provide extra briefing on zero-tolerance rules
- Never promise guaranteed profits or specific results
- Report suspicious behavior to the compliance team immediately
