Why Our Site Is Not Available Everywhere: The Reasons Behind the Restrictions

Instead of bare lists, this page works through the four reasons geographic restrictions exist at all — the licence, the payment rails, national law, and anti-money-laundering lists. Understanding the reason makes it easier to predict where a refusal will appear, since each reason fails at a different point — one at sign-up, another at the cashier, another at verification. This is an independent information resource, and only the operator confirms the current status.

Reason One: A Licence Draws the Outer Boundary

The first reason is the terms of the licence itself, which set the frame the operator works within. The detail is below.

What the Anjouan licence actually covers

The platform is licensed by the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, licence number ALSI-202410062-FI2, and the brand has operated since 2024. The licence confirms that the operator’s activity is regulated and obliges it to run player checks and anti-money-laundering procedures.

Where the licence stops being your legal cover

An important line to draw is that an offshore licence does not make play lawful in the reader’s country and does not stand in for a local permit. Responsibility for local law rests with the player, and this resource gives no legal advice. How the law applies to an individual is a question for a qualified local professional. The distinction matters because the two are easy to blur — a regulated operator is not the same thing as a game that is legal for you to play, and the licence answers only the first half of that.

Reason Two: The Payment Rails Are Built Locally

The second reason is practical — money moves over national infrastructure. The detail is below.

Local methods explain the shape of the market list

For a Malaysian player, settlement runs in MYR, and the payment methods are built on local rails:

  • DuitNow QR
  • Touch ‘n Go eWallet
  • FPX
  • ShopeePay
  • GrabPay
  • QuickPay

The minimum deposit is MYR 30 and the minimum withdrawal is MYR 50. One detail sits on top — a crypto withdrawal is open only to those who deposited in crypto, so here too the method chosen at entry shapes what is possible later. This is also why the market list looks the way it does. A platform tuned to Malaysian rails is built around players who can reach those methods, and that practical fit does as much to shape the served countries as any single rule on paper.

Reason Three: National Law Closes Certain Markets

The third reason is direct legal restriction, which leaves some countries outside the reach of the platform. The lists are below.

Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand on the open side

The platform serves Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. A practical detail follows — the English and Chinese versions run on the main domain while the Thai version sits on a separate one, so the address is worth saving in bookmarks rather than reached through links from random messages.

The countries the platform does not accept

The platform does not operate in a set of countries:

  • England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
  • Russia
  • India
  • The United States

The reason is licensing and regulatory requirements, not a stance on particular players, and the list can change over time, so it is worth checking on the official site rather than assuming last month’s position still holds.

Reason Four: Anti-Money-Laundering Lists Reach Further

The fourth and least obvious reason is why a player can play without trouble and then hit a refusal at the check. The detail is below.

A verification list that does not match the first one

The verification policy runs a separate, wider list of restricted countries. It includes, among others:

  • Australia and Austria
  • Belarus
  • France with its territories
  • Germany
  • The Netherlands with its territories
  • Russia and Spain
  • The United Kingdom
  • The United States with its territories
  • The Union of the Comoros itself
  • Countries on the FATF blacklist
  • Jurisdictions barred by the Anjouan regulator

This list does not match the short list of unavailable markets, and the two must not be confused. A country can sit off the market list and firmly on this one, which is exactly how a player clears sign-up and then stalls at the check.
