1. Purpose
This Restricted Jurisdictions & Sanctions Policy describes the geographic, sanctions, and compliance restrictions that apply to access to and use of the Services. This policy applies in addition to the Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, and any product-specific terms.2. Why restrictions exist
Polyranger may restrict access for reasons including:- sanctions and embargo compliance;
- anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing compliance;
- local financial-services, gaming, gambling, prediction-market, or consumer-protection laws;
- contractual restrictions imposed by service providers or counterparties;
- fraud prevention, security, and operational risk management; and
- reputational, legal, or regulatory risk management.
3. Prohibited persons and prohibited use
You must not access or use the Services if you are, or if you are acting on behalf of:- a person or entity located in, resident in, ordinarily resident in, organized in, or otherwise subject to a Restricted Jurisdiction, except to the limited extent Polyranger expressly permits view-only or close-only access;
- a person or entity designated on any sanctions or restricted-party list applicable to Polyranger or the relevant Service;
- a person or entity owned or controlled by, or acting for the benefit of, any such designated person or entity; or
- any person or entity seeking to evade sanctions, AML, or location-based controls.
4. How Polyranger may determine eligibility
Polyranger may use any lawful source or signal to determine eligibility, including:- IP-based geolocation;
- device, browser, SIM, OS, or network signals;
- residency, nationality, or incorporation information;
- payment, bank, wallet, billing, or account information;
- sanctions, PEP, adverse-media, and fraud-screening results;
- documents or declarations you provide; and
- any other information reasonably necessary to assess legal or compliance risk.
5. Restriction statuses
Polyranger may apply one or more of the following statuses to a user, account, feature, jurisdiction, or transaction flow:- Blocked: no access or no transactional access, except where local law requires limited wind-down rights;
- View-only / read-only: you may view public content or market data but may not trade, transact, deposit, subscribe, or access restricted features;
- Close-only: you may reduce or exit an existing exposure where permitted, but may not open new positions or increase exposure;
- Withdrawal-only: you may withdraw permitted balances or assets, but may not initiate new activity; and
- Enhanced review: access may be delayed, paused, or conditioned on additional information.
6. Screening sources
Polyranger may screen against any sanctions or restricted-party lists that are applicable to us or to the relevant service, including, where relevant:- U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control;
- EU financial sanctions and other EU restrictive measures;
- UK sanctions lists;
- UN sanctions lists; and
- any national or local sanctions or freeze lists applicable to Polyranger or a service provider.
7. Compliance requests and ongoing monitoring
Polyranger may ask you at any time to provide information or documents, including proof of identity, proof of address, source-of-funds information, beneficial ownership information, or declarations relating to location or sanctions status. We may conduct ongoing screening, transaction monitoring, account reviews, and reevaluations of jurisdiction eligibility. A user who was previously eligible may become restricted later due to changes in law, sanctions, regulation, service-provider requirements, or internal risk decisions.8. Consequences of restriction
If you are determined to be ineligible or restricted, Polyranger may, with or without notice where permitted by law:- deny account creation or access;
- limit services or move you to a view-only, close-only, or withdrawal-only state;
- reject, cancel, reverse, unwind, freeze, or refuse requests or transactions;
- require you to close positions or cease using the Services;
- suspend or terminate your account; and
- report information to relevant authorities or counterparties where required or appropriate.
