    Prohibited Countries List

    Last updated · July 2026

    Two different lists

    This page covers two things people often confuse: the markets an offshore-licensed operator typically has to geo-block, and the clients Vantegris itself will not act for.

    Markets operators commonly restrict

    An offshore gaming or crypto licence is authorisation to run a business — it is not market access. As standard practice, operators geo-block regulated markets they are not separately licensed in, plus any territory subject to international sanctions. Commonly restricted markets include:

    United StatesUnited KingdomFranceGermanySpainNetherlandsAustriaAustralia FATF-blacklisted nations

    The exact list depends on your specific licence and product — we confirm it for your case during onboarding. Operating into a regulated market without its own licence is a leading cause of licence and payment-relationship termination.

    Clients Vantegris will not serve

    In line with our Client Acceptance Policy, we do not act for sanctioned parties, unlawful business models, or structures designed to conceal beneficial ownership or evade regulation.
