Are forex brokers allowed to accept clients from every country?

No, forex brokers cannot accept clients from every country due to regulatory restrictions and compliance rules. Tiers one regulated brokers like those under FCA, ASIC or CFTC often block high-risk jurisdictions or countries with their own strict forex laws, such as the US, Canada, Japan, Belgium, and sometimes North Korea or Iran due to sanctions. Offshore brokers may accept more countries but still exclude places where they lack licenses. Geographic restrictions appear during signup based on IP address or manual verification. Check the broker's terms of service or contact support to confirm eligibility before attempting registration.
