Quick answer

  • CFD and Futures have separate country lists.
  • US access is active, but CFD is Match-Trader only.
  • VPN or identity workarounds can lead to permanent termination.

Research note: This guide was rechecked on 11 August 2026 against FundedNext's current public website and Help Centers. Promotions, prices and eligibility can change at checkout.

Start with the complete FundedNext review, compare the current FundedNext rules, then verify the final terms at FundedNext or in the official Help Center.

Which countries are restricted on FundedNext CFD?

As checked on 11 August 2026, the official CFD list names Bangladesh, Myanmar, Belarus, North Korea, Syria, Grenada, Chad, Malaysia, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, Cape Verde, Tuvalu, Vietnam, Bouvet Island, Burundi, Cook Islands, Eritrea, Comoros, Sri Lanka and Fiji.

FundedNext applies the restriction to residents and citizens and says attempts to conceal location or identity can terminate the account.

Does Futures use the same restricted-country list?

No. FundedNext Futures publishes a separate and longer purchase-restriction list that includes sanctioned jurisdictions plus countries restricted for compliance or operational reasons. Examples include Afghanistan, Albania, Bangladesh, Belarus, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Russia, Ukraine and Venezuela.

Because the full list changes, use the official Futures article rather than a saved screenshot before purchase.

US users cannot run EAs on the CFD side because Match-Trader is manual-only under FundedNext's policy. A trader already using a MetaQuotes server receives a formal warning for first-time access from a US IP. Repeating it after that warning terminates the account without a Performance Reward or Refund.

Why must you check CFD and Futures separately?

A country can be eligible for one division and restricted on the other. Futures also publishes a second list for countries whose traders can buy simulated accounts and receive simulated rewards but may face a Risk Desk review before live trading.

This distinction affects future live eligibility, not only checkout access.

What happens if you bypass a restriction?

FundedNext states that a VPN, proxy, third-party identity or inaccurate declaration used to conceal residence or nationality can result in immediate termination and permanent loss of access.

KYC makes the declared country verifiable. Check eligibility before purchase instead of testing enforcement later.

The US-IP rule is narrower but explicit: first-time access to a MetaQuotes server from a US IP triggers a formal warning; a repeat after that warning terminates the account without Performance Reward or Refund.

Which countries appear on the Futures purchase list?

The current official Futures list includes Afghanistan, Albania, Antarctica, Antigua and Barbuda, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belize, Bouvet Island, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cape Verde, Chad, Comoros, Congo, Cook Islands, Côte d'Ivoire, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Fiji, Grenada, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Laos, Lebanon, Lesotho, Libya, Malawi, Malaysia, Mali, Myanmar, North Korea, the occupied Palestinian Territory, Russia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Timor-Leste, Tuvalu, Ukraine, Venezuela, Vietnam and Yemen.

This is a dated snapshot, not a promise of future eligibility. Spelling and territory labels follow the official Help Center.

What should you verify before paying?

First, check the exact division. Second, search the official list for both citizenship and residence. Third, confirm the platform available in the country. Fourth, confirm that the KYC document and address match the declared information. Fifth, check whether the country has a separate live-trading review even when simulated accounts are available.

Save the relevant Help Center page and checkout confirmation. If the status is unclear, ask FundedNext support to confirm the country, division and product in writing before purchase. A general answer that says FundedNext serves many countries is not enough.

The bottom line

Country eligibility is a two-list check: CFD and Futures. US access is active but platform-limited. Verify the official list and live checkout on the day you buy.
