Program
Eligibility & Restricted Jurisdictions
Effective date: August 13, 2026 · Last updated: August 13, 2026
Who may participate in Talon programs, and who may not. This policy forms part of our Terms of Use.
Updated August 13, 2026
Talon now serves traders worldwide, except in the 87 restricted territories listed in section 3. This replaces our previous United States and Canada only rule.
1. Age
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher — which in Canada is 19 in British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon. We do not permit accounts for anyone under that age under any circumstances, including with a parent's consent.
2. Where we operate
Talon programs are offered worldwide, except in the restricted territories listed in section 3. If a territory is not on that list, we serve it.
This policy is the authoritative statement of where we operate, whatever you may have read elsewhere. It replaces our earlier United States and Canada only rule.
3. Restricted territories
We do not open new or additional accounts for residents of the territories below. Territories are restricted for one or more of the following reasons:
- Sanctions and embargoes. Talon Trader Funding LLC is a United States entity and complies with United States sanctions and embargo law. These exclusions are mandatory and are not a commercial judgement.
- Service-provider limits. Our brokers, trading platforms and market-data providers cannot operate in some regions. We do not sell an account we cannot support.
- Elevated fraud risk — including card fraud, identity theft, and card-spend restrictions that prevent us from verifying who owns an account.
- Support limits. We cannot yet deliver our intended standard of support in every language and region.

4. If you are from a restricted territory
Being originally from a restricted territory does not by itself exclude you. You may participate if all four of the following are true. If any one of them is not true, you are not eligible.
- You hold a valid government-issued identity document from a permitted territory.
- Your primary residence is in a permitted territory.
- Your mailing address is in a permitted territory.
- Your bank account is in a permitted territory and is in your own name.
Payment methods issued in a restricted territory
Using, or attempting to use, a payment method issued in a restricted territory is prohibited and is grounds for termination — whether the transaction succeeds or is declined, whatever country of residence is recorded on your account, and at any point in the life of the account, including after approval and while you are trading.
We verify these conditions at registration, during identity verification, before your first reward, and whenever you change your address or your bank details.
5. While you are physically in a restricted territory
Even if you meet all four conditions in section 4, while you are physically located in a restricted territory you may not:
- purchase new accounts;
- request a reward;
- place trades on active accounts; or
- retain full access to your account.
This is a freeze, not a termination. Access is restored when you return to a permitted territory.
6. VPNs, proxies and location masking
Using a VPN, proxy, remote-desktop tool, or any other means of disguising where your session comes from, is prohibited. This rule exists for two reasons: the freeze in section 5 depends on knowing where you are, and a session coming from a location inconsistent with the account holder is the main indication that an account has been handed to somebody else. Talon accounts are personal and non-transferable.
Where we determine that this prohibition has been breached, we may terminate the user ID, close every associated account, forfeit all gains, and cancel all reward requests including approved ones. See our Prohibited Activities policy.
7. Traders outside the United States
If you are resident outside the United States you participate on the same programme terms as a U.S. trader, with three practical differences:
- Rewards are sent by international transfer (SWIFT) rather than domestic ACH, less any applicable transfer fees. Domestic ACH is used for U.S. residents.
- We must collect a Form W-8BEN from you before any reward is paid, because you are a non-U.S. person being paid by a U.S. entity.
- Your personal information is handled as described for your region in our Privacy Policy.
Rewards are paid only to an account held in your own name.
All Talon trading is simulated, so no local brokerage or live-account restriction applies.
8. Sanctions and legal restrictions
You may not participate if you are:
- Located in, ordinarily resident in, or organised under the laws of a country or territory subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions;
- Listed on any U.S. government restricted or denied-party list, including lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), or owned or controlled by any such person;
- Otherwise prohibited by applicable law from using our services.
You may not open or use an account if you are located in, resident in, or acting on behalf of a person in a restricted territory. We may decline or close an account on that basis without further explanation.
9. One profile per person
Each person may hold one profile. Registering more than one profile, registering on behalf of another person, or using another person's identity or documents is prohibited under our Prohibited Activities policy and will result in closure of every associated account and forfeiture of gains.
10. Account limits
T-Flight evaluation accounts: unlimited. You may hold as many evaluation accounts as you wish.
Crest simulated-funded accounts: up to twenty (20) at one time.
Both limits are set at Talon's discretion and may change. We will notify traders before a change takes effect, and a change will not alter the limit recorded for an account you already hold. Accounts must be held in your own name and traded by you.
11. Verification and accepted identification
We may ask you to verify your identity, age, and residency at any time, and we will do so before any reward is paid. We may suspend account activity or withhold a reward until verification is complete. If verification cannot be completed, or if the information you provided proves false, we may close the account and forfeit accumulated gains.
We accept: a driver’s licence, a passport, a state or provincial identity card, a physical government-issued identity card, or a residency permit (temporary permits and student visas excluded).
We do not accept: copies, temporary identity documents, expired documents, a visa on its own, student or workplace identity cards, digital versions, or a photograph of a document displayed on a screen.
12. Related parties
Members, officers, employees, and contractors of Talon Trader Funding LLC, and members of their immediate households, are not eligible to participate in Talon programs for rewards.
13. Our discretion
We may decline any application, or close any account, where we determine that participation would be inconsistent with this policy, with applicable law, or with the requirements of our platform, data, or payment providers.
