TL;DR: 10 BestProps-listed firms currently publish a complete restriction affecting traders in Turkey. The verified set contains one forex and CFD firm and nine futures firms. Firms that still accept Turkey residents through another program on the same BestProps profile are excluded, and no crypto-only firm in the reviewed profile set had a verified complete Turkey ban on August 8, 2026.
This is a restricted-firm list. Firms that currently accept Turkey residents are not included. Product-only limits and live-account-only limits are not counted as complete bans.

Restricted crypto prop firms in Turkey
BestProps did not verify a complete crypto restriction from a current first-party policy. A firm will be added only after its own policy explicitly names Turkey.
Why prop firms restrict Turkey traders
Most verified Turkey restrictions come from U.S.-connected futures firms whose brokers, clearing firms, or market-data providers set geographic limits. The firm’s own current policy is the reason for inclusion; BestProps does not infer a complete ban from a payment failure or a platform-specific limit.
E8 Markets and Tradeify are excluded even though their futures programs restrict Turkey. Their other programs on the same BestProps profiles still accept Turkey residents, so neither qualifies as a complete firm-level restriction under this page’s standard.
Turkey crypto rules and local trading hours
The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey prohibits the direct or indirect use of cryptoassets in payments and prevents payment institutions from acting as intermediaries for transfers to or from cryptoasset platforms. A prop reward offered through crypto therefore raises a separate local payments question even when the firm itself accepts the trader.
Turkey’s Capital Markets Board introduced operating rules for cryptoasset service providers in 2025. It had also required foreign providers targeting residents in Turkey to end those activities or align with the new framework. A foreign prop firm is not automatically a licensed Turkish crypto platform merely because it offers a crypto market or crypto payout option.
Borsa Istanbul provides the regulated domestic market for listed shares and derivatives. Its equity market and derivatives market publish separate session schedules, price limits, and holiday notices. Those local exchange trades are different from simulated positions recorded inside an overseas prop evaluation.
Turkey traders paying a dollar- or euro-priced evaluation should check the actual lira conversion, card controls, recurring-payment terms, and the payout currency. A successful evaluation purchase does not prove the later identity or payout route will be available.
Save the firm’s dated country policy, agreement, payment record, and every reward statement. Ask a qualified Turkey tax or legal professional how foreign-source evaluation income, foreign currency, and any crypto-denominated payout should be reported.

What Turkey 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.
Turkey prop firm restrictions FAQ
How many prop firms restrict traders from Turkey?
BestProps verified 10 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.
