## Blocked Regions

| Ukraine (UA) | Crimea | 43 |

## Blocking Logic
The geoblocking system includes:
1. **OFAC-Sanctioned Countries**: Countries sanctioned by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
2. **Additional Regulatory Restrictions**: Countries added for specific regulatory compliance reasons
### Close-Only Countries
Some countries have a **"close-only"** restriction status. Users in these countries can:
* ✅ Close existing positions
* ❌ Open new positions
Countries with close-only status include:
* Singapore (SG)
* Poland (PL)
* Thailand (TH)
* Taiwan (TW)
## Why These Restrictions?
Geographic restrictions are implemented to ensure compliance with:
* International sanctions and embargoes
* Local financial regulations
* Gambling and prediction market laws
* Anti-money laundering (AML) requirements
* Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations
