Vest Markets has added the Philippines to its prohibited jurisdictions. Citizens and residents of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria and the Philippines cannot take part, and neither can the Government of Venezuela or anyone on a sanctions list.
The refund window has also shrunk. A refund can now be requested within 3 days of purchase instead of 28, as long as no trade has been placed on the account. Failing an evaluation does not qualify, and refunds return to the original payment method in 5 to 10 business days.
Full rules are on the Vest Markets firm page.
