Why prop firms restrict American Samoa traders
A zero count means the reviewed BestProps profiles did not publish a current complete restriction for the territory. Individual checkout systems, brokers, identity vendors, and payout providers may still treat American Samoa differently from the 50 states.
American Samoa is a U.S. territory, but its tax system and residency rules are not identical to those of a state. A firm accepting U.S. customers should still confirm the territory, ZIP code, identity document, and payout route in writing.
American Samoa market access, time zone, and tax records
American Samoa uses the U.S. dollar. A dollar-priced evaluation avoids currency conversion when paid and rewarded in dollars, but card processing, wire fees, territorial address support, and payout-provider coverage can still determine whether the transaction works.
The SEC’s Investor.gov service links to FINRA BrokerCheck so users can confirm whether a brokerage firm or broker is registered and review disciplinary history. A simulated prop company may not be a broker at all, so absence from BrokerCheck should prompt a close reading of what the contract actually provides.
U.S. exchange hours occur very early in American Samoa. The NYSE core session is 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, which normally corresponds to 2:30 a.m. or 3:30 a.m. through 9:00 a.m. or 10:00 a.m. in American Samoa depending on U.S. daylight saving time.
The IRS says American Samoa has its own separate tax system, although it is modeled on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Depending on bona fide residence and income source, a trader may file with American Samoa, the United States, or both.
Before paying, confirm territorial eligibility, the legal entity, simulation status, identity documents, and payout method. Keep the policy, contract, receipts, account statements, and reward records, then ask the American Samoa Tax Office or a qualified adviser where and how the income should be reported.

What American Samoa traders should check before checkout
- Confirm that both citizenship and residence are eligible.
- Check the evaluation, simulated funded, live-funded, and payout rules separately.
- Use your real address and identity documents. A VPN does not change KYC eligibility.
- Confirm the payout provider supports your country and expected currency.
- Save a dated copy of the policy and checkout terms before paying.
- Confirm local foreign-exchange, tax, securities, and crypto rules with a qualified professional.
American Samoa prop firm restrictions FAQ
How many prop firms restrict traders from American Samoa?
BestProps verified 0 current firms with a complete restriction affecting at least one market covered on this page.
Does a restricted country always block the evaluation purchase?
Most policies on this page block new accounts or platform access. Some firms also consider citizenship, travel location, payout access, or the live-account stage, so the official policy remains the final source.
Are partial country limits included in the main list?
No. A firm that still allows an evaluation, simulated funded account, or payouts is not counted as completely restricted merely because its live-account path or one platform is unavailable.
Can a VPN make a restricted trader eligible?
No. Firms verify identity, residence, payment details, and login patterns. Concealing location can lead to account closure, payout denial, or loss of fees.
Are prop firm payouts treated like local brokerage gains?
Not necessarily. Evaluation payouts may be contractual or business income rather than gains from securities held in a brokerage account. Ask a local tax professional and keep complete records.
When did BestProps check these country policies?
The official sources on this page were checked on August 8, 2026. Recheck them immediately before purchase because firms and service providers can change eligibility lists.
