Every firm we track is in one of three groups below: it restricts traders in North Korea, its country list has no restriction covering North Korea, or we have not verified its country list yet. Each restriction is quoted from the firm’s own terms.
Countries restricted by Rise (reward provider): Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Congo (Brazzaville), Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Myanmar (Burma), North Korea, Russian Federation, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela, Yemen. If your country appears on Rise’s restricted list, you cannot purchase, obtain funding, or receive rewards through Elite Trader Funding.
By location: the FAQ bars traders located in the United States, and the footer on every page bars residents of Afghanistan, Belarus, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Venezuela and Yemen, plus the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The two lists do not match: the footer leaves out the United States. Read on ezefunded.com, 19 Oct 2026.
