Moon.com Restricted Countries: The Full List of 44 Jurisdictions

Moon.com is available in most of the world. Section 3.2 of its terms of service lists 44 jurisdictions that are currently not supported — among them Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, France, Italy and Spain. If your country appears on the list, the platform is simply not available there at the moment.

The list itself is buried in a legal document that most affiliate sites have never bothered to open. We transcribed it and grouped it by region so you can check your country in about five seconds. Everything below reflects the terms as published and verified on 21 August 2026.

The complete list: 44 restricted jurisdictions

Two entries deserve a note. Canada appears as a partial block — Ontario is named specifically, because Ontario runs its own licensed online-gaming regime while the rest of Canada does not. And Curaçao is on the list despite being the traditional home of offshore gaming licences, which is a fairly common pattern: operators licensed offshore frequently exclude the licensing jurisdiction itself.

Why these jurisdictions are on the list

There is no single reason. The 44 jurisdictions fall into three broad buckets, and understanding which bucket your country sits in tells you a lot about whether the entry is likely to change.

1. Countries with their own licensing regime. Germany, the UK, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Ontario and Australia all require operators to hold a domestic licence. Moon does not currently hold local licences in these markets, so they are not served for the time being.
2. Countries where the product itself is legally awkward. Leveraged bets on asset prices sit in a grey zone between gambling and derivatives trading. In the United States that means potential CFTC jurisdiction on top of state gambling law; in several EU markets it means potential MiFID exposure. Blocking is cheaper than arguing the classification.
3. Sanctioned and high-risk jurisdictions. Iran, North Korea, Syria, Sudan, South Sudan, Libya, Cuba, Afghanistan and DR Congo appear because international sanctions and anti-money-laundering rules make them off-limits to any operator running sanctions screening. The catch-all clause extends this to any comprehensively sanctioned territory, whether or not it is named.

Layered on top of all three is the licence Moon holds. Moon International Limited is licensed by the Anjouan Gaming Board (licence ALSI-202601063-FI2), valid until 30 January 2027 and verified as VALID in the official register. The licence permits business-to-consumer operation; which individual markets are served additionally depends on local law in each country. We go through what that licence covers in our piece on whether Moon.com is legit.

One thing worth saying plainly, wherever you live: Moon is high-risk entertainment, not an investment. Moon is the counterparty to every bet, its settlement price contains a house spread in its favour, three fees sit on top of that, and at high leverage a fraction of a percent of adverse movement takes the whole stake. The platform is 18+ only, and it should only ever be played with money you can afford to lose entirely.

Your country is on the list. What now?

Moon is not currently an option there — but there are a few sensible things you can still do, and in most of the listed European markets a regulated domestic alternative already exists.

1. Check what is licensed where you live. Germany, the UK, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Ontario all maintain public registers of licensed operators. Products there come with deposit limits, self-exclusion and a formal complaints route.
2. If it is price speculation you want, regulated brokers and exchanges exist in nearly every listed market. They are less entertaining, and the consumer protections are the reason why.
3. Watch the list. Restricted-country lists do change when licensing situations change.
4. If you are simply curious how the product works, Moon’s free $100,000 play-money mode is available with full functionality and no deposit — reading about it costs nothing and risks nothing.

One more genuinely useful option: if you are trying to work out whether up/down leverage betting is even the category you want, it is worth understanding how it differs structurally from event-based prediction markets, several of which operate under different rules in different countries. Our comparison of Moon against Polymarket and Kalshi lays out why those are not interchangeable products.

The caveats we are obliged to give you

This list is a transcription, not a legal opinion, and there are limits to what it can tell you. Moon can amend section 3.2 at any time, and lists like this change in both directions as licensing situations evolve. A country on the list today may come off it, and vice versa. The version published in Moon’s own terms of service is always the authoritative one, and it is the only one that governs your account.

It also cuts the other way: not being on the list is not the same as your local law permitting you to play. Moon’s restrictions reflect Moon’s risk assessment, not a determination about your legal position. Plenty of countries that Moon accepts have their own rules on offshore gambling that Moon has no obligation to enforce for you. If you are unsure, that question belongs to a local lawyer, not to an affiliate site.

And a limitation specific to this platform: Moon launched publicly on 17 August 2026, which is four days before we wrote this. There is no body of user experience yet — no complaints record, no independent payout testing. Everything above is drawn from the published terms and the licence register, which is the most reliable evidence available and still not the same as a track record. We say the same thing in our full Moon.com review, and we would rather say it than pretend otherwise.
