Geographic availability

Where PredictAsiaX serves live traffic and where it does not. This page describes the technical serving posture — jurisdictional CDN routing, IP-based access controls, terms-of-service scope. It is not a regulatory declaration.

Neutral framing. We describe availability, not licensing. We are not registered as a designated contract market with the US CFTC, not licensed by MAS/SFC/JFSA, and do not claim to be any regulated entity in any jurisdiction. If you require a regulated venue, use a licensed platform in your jurisdiction.

Serving posture

✅ Actively served

Southeast Asia: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines
East Asia: Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan
South Asia: India
Rest of world (default): Full API + docs access; check local requirements before trading real money

⛔ Blocked at edge

United States: Blocked at edge. US traders should use a CFTC-registered venue in their jurisdiction.
Mainland China (PRC): Blocked at CDN edge. Terms of service prohibit access from PRC IPs.
OFAC / EU / UN sanctions lists: Blocked at edge (Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, Cuba, Belarus, etc.). Enforcement runs at every request via CF Workers WAF rules.
Ontario, Canada: Blocked pending compliance review.

How enforcement works

Access is decided at the CDN edge (Cloudflare Worker + WAF rules) before your request reaches any application logic. Enforcement inputs:

IP → Country: MaxMind GeoIP resolved by CF at connection time. Result available via CF-IPCountry header.
ASN check: Certain sanctioned or high-risk ASNs blocked regardless of country.
Sanctions-list ETL: OFAC SDN, EU consolidated, UN 1267 lists imported daily. Blocked IPs marked at edge.
User-declared jurisdiction: On builder application, declared jurisdiction is snapshotted in builders.jurisdiction. Serving continues to check both IP and declared value on every request.
VPN detection: We do not aggressively block commercial VPN exits, but we do log VPN-flagged requests to compliance events for later review. Repeated jurisdiction spoofing triggers abuse_flags.

What a blocked user sees

A blocked user gets an HTTP 451 (Unavailable For Legal Reasons) with a short message + link back to this page. Docs (docs.predictasiax.com) remain readable from most blocked regions for research purposes — the block hits predictasiax.com trading UI and api.predictasiax.com trading endpoints only.

If you move to a served jurisdiction

Serving is per-request based on live IP. Moving to a served country restores access immediately — no application update. The builders.jurisdiction field on your builder profile is separate: if you move permanently, update it via PATCH /v1/builders/me so attribution + payouts align with the new address.
