Quick Answer#
IC Markets availability depends on where you live and which IC Markets or IC entity can legally onboard you.
Treat the Signup Flow as the Source of Truth#
Old blog “country lists” go stale. Availability depends on residency, local law and entity routing. The practical check is:
- Open the official IC Markets / IC website for your region—not a mirrored promo domain.
- Start registration far enough to see country, entity and product disclosures.
- Read the legal company name and regulator before uploading KYC.
- Stop if the flow blocks your country or shows terms you cannot accept.
The global site now presents IC branding in some areas. Branding changes do not expand legal onboarding; the client agreement still controls who may become a client.
What “Restricted” Usually Means in Practice#
Restriction is not only a hard “no signup” screen. It can also mean:
| Outcome | Practical meaning |
|---|---|
| Hard block | Registration refuses your residence country |
| Entity routing | You are offered a specific company and product set |
| Limited products | Some CFDs, leverages or platforms are unavailable |
| Limited payments | Deposit/withdrawal rails differ by country |
| Later change | Access can shift after regulation updates |
Raw Trading Ltd under Seychelles FSA licensing is one setup referenced in IC materials; it is not automatically identical to every historical IC Markets entity a YouTube review describes.
Example: Two traders in neighbouring countries can both “see IC Markets online” yet receive different leverage caps, payment lists or platform packs because entity routing differs.
Do Not Bypass Restrictions#
Never use inaccurate personal data, fake addresses or VPN workarounds that violate the client agreement. Those tactics can freeze withdrawals and create compliance problems that support cannot “fix” after the fact.
If IC Markets / IC cannot onboard you legally:
- choose a broker that discloses a licensed path for your residence;
- keep researching Raw Spread or cTrader elsewhere without forcing this brand;
- do not send documents to unofficial “account managers” promising access.
Common mistake: copying a friend’s account type and leverage screenshots from another country and assuming the same offer applies after you VPN in.
Professional tip: save a PDF or screenshot of the entity disclosure shown at signup (excluding passwords). If product access later changes, you have a dated record of what was presented.
Re-Check Before Scaling Capital#
Even after approval, product and payment access can change with regulation. Re-read terms when depositing larger sums, enabling new platforms or moving to Raw Pro-style tiers that require higher balances on overview pages.

Bottom Line#
IC Markets / IC availability is a residency-and-entity question answered by the live signup and client agreement—not by static internet lists. If your country is blocked, do not bypass; select a broker that can onboard you lawfully.
