# Availability by country

> Which OnlyBulls features are limited by country or region, and what still works if you're in a restricted place.

Most of OnlyBulls works wherever you are. A few features depend on partners that can't operate in every country. This page lists them in one place.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Region checks use the location of your internet connection, not the country on your account. If you travel, what's available can change with you.

Some features are also limited by **device** (for example, Perps is only in the iOS and Android apps) or are **rolling out gradually**. Those limits are explained on each feature's page.

## Perps

Perps isn't available in:

* United States
* Cuba
* Iran
* North Korea
* Syria

If you're in one of these countries, you can view your Perps account and withdraw your balance. You can't deposit, trade, close positions, cancel orders, or change take-profit and stop-loss, and open positions stay open. See [If you're in a restricted country](https://help.onlybulls.com/trading/perps.md#in-a-restricted-country).

If the app can't tell where you are, you'll see **Region not confirmed**, and trading stays off until it can.

## Predictions

Polymarket sets the rules for prediction markets. As of October 2026 it restricts trading in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Brazil, four Canadian provinces, and many more countries. See the [full list on the Predictions page](https://help.onlybulls.com/trading/predictions.md#who-can-use-predictions), or Polymarket's own [geographic restrictions](https://docs.polymarket.com/polymarket-learn/FAQ/geoblocking) for the latest version.

If you're in a restricted country, you can browse markets and withdraw your trading balance, but you **can't buy or sell shares** in OnlyBulls, including shares you already hold.

## Buying and depositing with a card or bank

When you [deposit cash](https://help.onlybulls.com/wallet/add-money.md#deposit-cash) or [buy crypto](https://help.onlybulls.com/wallet/buy-and-sell.md#buy-crypto) with a card, bank, or exchange, a third-party payment provider handles the payment. What they offer depends on the country you're buying from:

* **Payment methods:** for example, ACH is for US bank accounts, SEPA for euro accounts, and PIX for Brazil. Apple Pay is iPhone-only, and Google Pay is Android-only.
* **Currency:** you pay in your country's local currency where it's supported. Some tokens, including **BTC, TRX, and SHIB**, can only be bought in **US dollars**.
* **Tokens:** some tokens can't be bought in some countries. You'll see **…isn't available to buy in your region**.
* **No providers:** in some countries, no payment provider is available. You'll see **No payment methods are available for this country.** You can still [transfer crypto in](https://help.onlybulls.com/wallet/add-money.md#transfer-crypto-from-another-wallet) from another wallet or exchange.

OnlyBulls sets your country from your device. To change it, tap the payment option on the deposit screen, then **Country**. Choose the country you're actually in. Providers may check your location and identity, and a mismatch can get your payment declined.

## Everything else

OnlyBulls doesn't restrict the rest of the app by country. You're responsible for following the laws where you live, including any rules on holding or trading crypto.

## Don't use a VPN to get around restrictions

Using a VPN or proxy to appear to be in another country breaks the terms of our partners, such as Hyperliquid and Polymarket. It can get your access to those services blocked. It can also stop region checks from working, which turns off trading until your location can be confirmed.
