Certain types of trading are banned or restricted in some countries, and many more are cracking down on CFD trading due to the risk of massive losses. However, there’s a difference between restrictions on trading, and being outright illegal. Forex trading is legal in many countries, with certain restrictions from a legal and regulatory aspect.
Before entering any market as an affiliate marketer, you should understand the legal landscape in terms of trading as well as advertising restrictions. In some regions, you may need to include disclaimers in your marketing about the risks involved with trading, or there may be certain things you cannot claim, such as “make money easily” or providing financial advice if you are not licensed to do so. To stay on the safe side things, it is always advisable to promote licensed and regulated brands, and their affiliate managers will guide you accordingly so that everyone plays by the rules.
