The verified set includes futures, forex and CFD, and crypto programs, with a BestProps profile and current first-party policy for every firm.

This is a restricted-firm list. Firms that currently accept Venezuela residents are not included. Product-only limits and live-account-only limits are not counted as complete bans.

Why prop firms restrict Venezuela traders
Venezuela-related U.S. sanctions are detailed and frequently amended. They include blocked persons, government-related restrictions, sector measures, and general licenses rather than a single sentence that resolves every private transaction. Firms and their service providers may apply broader country controls to manage that complexity.
A prop firm’s complete Venezuela ban can also reflect the limits of its broker, market-data vendor, KYC service, card processor, bank, or payout provider. BestProps lists a firm only when the company’s current policy names Venezuela and does not infer eligibility from sanctions headlines alone.
Venezuela sanctions and domestic market access
OFAC’s Venezuela program remained active and changed repeatedly during 2026 through new and amended general licenses. Some licenses authorize narrowly described activities that would otherwise be prohibited, while other restrictions and blocked-person rules continue. A prop firm may decide that screening those distinctions is impractical and block Venezuela even when a particular transaction is not automatically prohibited for every party.
The Caracas Stock Exchange remains an operating domestic securities venue and publishes live market information in bolivars, including securities traded, transaction counts, volume, and index data. Buying a listed Venezuelan security through an authorized local intermediary is legally and operationally different from paying an overseas firm for access to a simulated evaluation.
In most prop programs, the displayed balance is simulated and the trader does not own the stock, futures contract, currency, or cryptoasset shown on the platform. Any payment is governed by the firm’s private contract and depends on identity checks, rule compliance, and an available payout route. The word funded does not establish that investment capital is held for the trader at a regulated brokerage.
Payment and payout availability should be checked end to end. Confirm the card or bank can process the merchant, the KYC provider accepts Venezuelan identity and address documents, and the payout company supports Venezuela in the required currency. A site accepting a purchase through crypto does not prove that the user can lawfully convert or receive the later reward.
Keep a dated copy of the firm’s eligibility page, contract, checkout receipt, KYC result, and payout statement. Venezuela’s tax, currency, and virtual-asset rules can change independently from a foreign firm’s terms, so local advice is appropriate before relying on prop payouts as available income.
What Venezuela 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.
Venezuela prop firm restrictions FAQ
How many prop firms restrict traders from Venezuela?
BestProps verified 27 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.
