Moon.com Restricted Countries: Named List and Age Rule
Short answer
Documented, with gaps: Moon's terms name barred countries and also bar sanctioned countries and markets needing local licenses.
Moon.com is closed to people in the jurisdictions named in its terms, in sanctioned countries, and in countries that need a local license Moon does not hold. The largest gap is that Moon's terms do not say which unnamed countries fall under that local-license rule. Minors and people in a prohibited jurisdiction must not use Moon.com, and existing account holders must not open another account.
Moon.com is a website where users bet on whether an asset's price goes up or down with leverage, Moon takes the other side of each bet, and Moon International Limited runs it.

Which countries does Moon.com restrict?
Moon.com restricts 44 named jurisdictions and adds wider country groups on top. Section 3.2 of Moon's terms lists the named places. The same clause bars any country under country-wide sanctions. It also bars any country that needs a local gambling or financial-services license that Moon does not hold.
Moon's terms use the label Prohibited Jurisdiction for each barred place, and Section 3 of the terms defines it. The ban covers citizens and residents of a listed place. It also covers companies incorporated there and anyone physically located there. Moon's terms state that users must not access or use the services from a Prohibited Jurisdiction. The help center adds an account condition: a new user must reside in a country or region where Moon is available and supported.
Moon International Limited is the company that contracts with every Moon.com user. It is incorporated in the Union of the Comoros, with a registered office in Hamchako, Mutsamudu, on the island of Anjouan. The laws of the Union of the Comoros govern the agreement and any dispute about it. Moon also calls itself the House. A counterparty is the party that takes the other side of a bet, and Moon is the principal counterparty to every bet on the platform. Moon pays winning bets and keeps the wagers on losing ones.
As of October 2026, the public license register of the Anjouan gaming regulator lists Moon International Ltd with the status valid. The register row names moon.com as the domain. It shows an issue date of January 31, 2026 and an expiry date of January 30, 2027. Moon's standing as an operator gets a fuller review in a separate article on whether Moon.com is legit.

What is on Moon.com's full restricted country list?
Moon.com's named list holds 44 jurisdictions, set out in section 3.2 of Moon's terms. The entries mix whole countries, island territories and a Canadian province. The list reaches across Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. Every entry carries the same Prohibited Jurisdiction status.
European entries start with Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany and Greece. The list goes on with Italy, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden. Moon's terms also name the United Kingdom. A European country left off this list can still fall under the sanctions rule or the local-license rule in section 3.2.
In the Americas, Moon's list names the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Peru. Cuba, the Cayman Islands and Curaçao appear too. Canada is not named as a whole country. Instead, the list names Ontario, a Canadian province. A person who lives in Ontario, or is physically there, falls inside the ban. Other Canadian provinces stay subject to the sanctions and local-license rules in section 3.2.
The African entries are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Libya, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan and Zimbabwe. From the Middle East and Asia, the list names Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Israel, North Korea and Syria. Australia completes the set of 44 named entries. Citizens, residents, local companies and people physically present in any of these places all fall under the ban.

Can you use Moon.com in Jamaica?
Moon.com's named list does not include Jamaica, and that fact alone does not settle access. Section 3.2 of Moon's terms also bars any country that requires a local gambling or financial-services license that Moon does not hold. That wider rule names no countries, so Jamaica's status under it is not stated.
Jamaica does not appear anywhere in the text of section 3.2. The help center sets a separate residence condition for every new account. Moon's help center places that condition in its article on creating and verifying an account. A user must live in a country or region where Moon is available and supported. A Jamaican resident who wants an account has to meet that condition and every other eligibility rule in Moon's terms.
Moon can check where a user lives through document requests. Under anti-money-laundering laws, Moon may ask for proof of identity and proof of address. The terms allow these requests at onboarding and at any later time. On a risk-sensitive basis, Moon may also ask for evidence of the source of funds or source of wealth. The help center keeps a list of documents that Moon accepts as proof of address.
The ban follows a person's physical location as well as their home country. Section 3.2 covers anyone physically located in a listed place when they use the services. A Jamaican resident who travels to a listed country, such as the United States or Spain, falls under that rule while there. Moon's terms bar access from any Prohibited Jurisdiction, whatever the user's home address.

How do sanctions widen Moon.com's country ban?
Sanctions push Moon.com's country ban past the 44 named jurisdictions. Section 3.2 of Moon's terms bars any country or territory that faces broad, country-wide sanctions run by a Sanctions Authority. That branch applies even when the country is missing from the named list.
Moon's terms define the term Sanctions Authority by naming the specific bodies that count. The definition starts with the United Nations Security Council. It goes on to name the U.S. Department of Commerce, the European Union and His Majesty's Treasury of the United Kingdom. A final catch-all adds any other body that runs trade or economic sanctions that apply to Moon's services.
Sanctions rules also apply to people. A Prohibited Person includes anyone named on a sanctions, denied-persons or watch list kept by a Sanctions Authority. The term also covers anyone located in, incorporated in, or a national of a Prohibited Jurisdiction. It reaches anyone barred by law from services of this kind as well. Each user promises that no such person owns or controls them, and that they do not act for such a person.
Users agree to sanctions screening when they accept Moon's terms. Moon may check user details against sanctions lists, watch lists and lists of politically exposed persons. Moon may also use outside service providers to verify identity and judge fraud risk. The terms let Moon share user information with those providers for these purposes, subject to its privacy policy. The screening consent sits in the account registration and verification part of the terms.

How does Moon.com check where users are?
Moon.com may use technical tools and manual checks to find users in Prohibited Jurisdictions. Moon's terms name IP-address detection, geolocation data, device fingerprinting, and VPN and proxy detection. Identity checks run through Moon's Know Your Customer process, called KYC, which Section 4 of the terms describes.
Moon's terms treat any attempt to get around the country rules as a material breach. The terms give a VPN, a proxy server, a false address and a nominee as examples. A nominee is a person who acts in someone else's name. After such a breach, Moon may suspend or close the account at once. Where the law allows, Moon may also take back promotional funds under Section 10 of its terms.
The help center makes KYC a step before any deposit. A new user verifies an email address and submits KYC before any money goes in. Section 4.3 of Moon's terms covers identity verification. The help center also keeps a list of documents that Moon accepts as proof of identity. Deposits on Moon are in cryptocurrency only, according to the same account article.
Moon's help center separates submitting KYC from having it approved. Submission is enough to make a deposit. Approval comes before any withdrawal of funds. Moon's guide to placing a bet sets out the order: create an account, verify the email, submit KYC, deposit, then bet. Withdrawal checks and limits get their own coverage in a separate article on Moon.com withdrawals.

What is the minimum age to use Moon.com?
Moon.com users must be at least 18 years old as of October 2026, or older where local law sets a higher age. Moon's terms apply whichever of those age limits is higher. Users give this promise on an ongoing basis, so it holds for as long as they use the services.
The age promise sits inside a wider list of user warranties. A warranty here is a formal promise that a statement is true. Each user warrants full legal capacity and authority to enter the agreement. Users also warrant that they are not a Prohibited Person and that their use of Moon is lawful under the laws that apply to them. The list ends with a promise that the user is not self-excluded from Moon or, to their knowledge, from other gaming products Moon runs.
Local law can raise Moon's minimum age above 18 in some places. The terms tie the minimum to the age at which a wagering or gaming product of this kind is lawful in the user's jurisdiction. Where that local age is higher, the local age applies. A user who is 18 but below a higher local limit does not meet Moon's age warranty.
Moon's terms include a self-exclusion option. Self-exclusion means a user asks Moon to block their own access to the services. A user may request it for a chosen period of at least 6 months, or permanently. Separately, Moon may suspend or close an account at once if it cannot complete its verification checks to its satisfaction. The same clause lets Moon act when it has reasonable grounds under Section 4.8 to believe a user is a problem gambler who has not self-excluded.

Can you have multiple Moon.com accounts?
No, Moon.com lets each person register and keep a single account. Moon's terms allow an exception only when Moon gives express written authorization. The rule covers both opening an account and keeping it open. A user who wants more than a single account needs that written consent from Moon.
Moon's terms also say who an account is for. Section 1.4 says each user enters the agreement as principal, acting for their own account. A principal acts for themselves rather than as an agent, nominee or representative of another person. A user may act for someone else only after disclosing that role in advance and getting Moon's written agreement.
Companies can hold accounts under Moon's terms. Section 1.5 says a person who uses the services for a legal entity must have authority to bind that entity. In that case, the words you and your in the terms refer to the entity. A company incorporated in a listed place still falls under the country ban in section 3.2. The company then takes the user's place for every rule in the agreement.
A user cannot pass the agreement to someone else. Moon's terms bar a user from assigning the agreement without Moon's prior written consent. Moon may suspend, restrict or close an account at once and without notice if a user breaches the agreement. The same power applies when Moon suspects fraud, money laundering or abuse of its pricing. Moon may also act when a court order, a competent authority or applicable law requires it.

What happens if you use Moon.com from a restricted country?
Using Moon.com from a Prohibited Jurisdiction breaks Moon's terms, and Moon may close the account. The terms tell users not to access the services from any listed place. A VPN, proxy, false address or nominee used to get around that rule counts as a material breach, which can bring immediate suspension or closure.
Moon watches activity after an account opens. The terms say Moon monitors betting with automated and manual surveillance tools. Moon may investigate any activity it reasonably suspects breaks the agreement. The terms also let Moon suspend an account when it believes action is needed to protect Moon.com, other users or the platform. Moon may void, reverse or refuse to settle a bet that would violate applicable law or the agreement.
Closing an account does not end Moon's hold on user records. Moon may keep user information and transaction records for as long as anti-money-laundering and other laws require. That retention can continue after the account is closed. Moon's terms also require users to cover Moon's costs and losses that arise from a breach of the agreement or of any law. That promise is an indemnity, and it includes reasonable legal fees.
Promotions sit under their own section of Moon's terms. Section 10.1 says Moon may offer promotions at its discretion, under terms published with each offer. Those offer terms become part of the agreement. Any promotional funds face forfeiture where the law allows if a user tries to get around the country rules. Referral codes and links are covered in a separate article on the Moon.com referral code.

What we could not verify
Moon's documents leave several country questions open, and nobody on Moon Legit used a Moon account. Moon Legit drew on 26 Moon pages retrieved on 2026-10-18: 23 English help center articles and 3 other moon.com pages. None of those pages gives a gaming license number.
Several practical points remain unverified. We did not check whether Moon's location tools block a user in a listed country. We did not check how long KYC review takes or how Moon handles a rejected proof of address. Payout speed, support quality and response times were not tested. Account behavior after a user moves to a different country was not observed either.
The local-license rule in section 3.2 is the largest open question for unnamed countries such as Jamaica. Moon's terms do not say which countries need a local license that Moon lacks. The help center residence rule refers to countries where Moon is available and supported without naming them in that sentence. A country missing from the named list is not, on that basis alone, confirmed as supported.
Moon's country list can change. Section 20.1 of Moon's terms lets Moon amend the agreement at any time by posting revised terms on the platform. The Last Updated date on the terms marks each change. A country list read today may differ from the version in force at a later date, so the date on the terms matters when you compare copies.
