Jurisdiction compliance matrix

Trading is currently permitted to Philippine residents on a provisional, unclassified basis only — SatoriEx holds NO PAGCOR or BSP authorisation, and this status may change without notice. Listed regulators are the relevant authorities for eventual licensing. PAGCOR governs gaming-adjacent platforms; BSP oversees payment flows under the Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) framework (Circular 1108, 2021). The SEC-PH applies the Securities Regulation Code to tokenised instruments. Prediction contracts have not been formally classified by any of the three regulators as of this review.

The FSA has not issued guidance specifically classifying prediction market contracts as of this review. Such contracts may be analysed under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA) as derivatives, or under the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions. Gambling-adjacent framing is regulated under the Penal Code (articles 185–187). If FIEA applies, §37 (金融商品取引法 第37条) would mandate Japanese-language risk disclosure for promotions directed at Japan residents — classification pending. Satori has not received FSA guidance on prediction-market classification and trading is suspended for Japan residents pending that assessment.

South Korea restricts access to unregistered foreign financial platforms under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act (FSCMA, 자본시장과 금융투자업에 관한 법률). Korean Financial Services Commission (KFSC) has not classified prediction-market contracts. SatoriEx holds no license from FSC or FSS; trading is suspended for Korean residents pending counsel review and a defensible legal basis. View access remains available.

Prediction markets and most forms of online financial speculation by PRC residents are prohibited under the Regulations on the Prohibition of Gambling (国务院关于禁止赌博的规定) and the Measures for the Administration of Internet Information Services. Crypto-related activity has been prohibited for financial institutions since the PBOC/CSRC joint notice (September 2021). PRC residents and Mainland China IP ranges are geo-blocked. This listing is for builder transparency; users from this jurisdiction cannot access the platform.

Vietnam's digital asset regulatory framework is under active development as of this review; the Ministry of Finance issued a proposal in 2024 for a Digital Asset Law expected to be enacted in 2025–2026 (timeline subject to legislative process). The SBV has historically classified crypto payments as prohibited (Decree 80/2016). Prediction markets are not specifically addressed. Trading is suspended for Vietnam residents pending the new framework taking effect and Satori's assessment of it. View access remains available.

Indonesian residents are geo-blocked at the network edge via the platform's country-code blocklist. Bappebti regulates crypto asset trading under Regulation 8/2021 and its successors; OJK assumed supervisory authority over crypto assets in 2023 under Law No. 4/2023. Prediction market contracts are not specifically classified under either framework. Listed for builder transparency; users from this jurisdiction cannot access the platform.

Singapore is a permissive jurisdiction for accredited fintech under MAS's Payment Services Act, but SatoriEx holds NO MAS payment-services or capital-markets license. Prediction-market contracts have not been formally classified by MAS as of this review. Access is currently available to Singapore residents on a provisional, unclassified basis; the platform monitors MAS guidance and reserves the right to suspend access. Builders directing Singapore users should expect access today but plan for licensure-driven changes (CMS, RMO, or DPT license potentially applicable).

Thailand's SEC oversees digital asset services under the Royal Decree on Digital Asset Businesses (B.E. 2561 / 2018) and subsequent amendments. SatoriEx holds NO Thai SEC digital-asset license. Bank of Thailand has issued cautionary notices on digital-asset trading by foreign-licensed platforms. Prediction-market contracts are not specifically classified under the Decree as of this review. Builders directing Thai users should expect access today; the platform is monitoring SEC + BoT guidance and may suspend access if classified as an unlicensed digital-asset business.

Taiwan's FSC has classified prediction-market-style platforms as gambling under the Criminal Code (Articles 266-270) in past enforcement actions against comparable platforms. The legal classification of prediction markets in Taiwan remains unsettled under existing law. SatoriEx holds NO Taiwan license; trading is suspended for Taiwan residents pending counsel review and a defensible legal basis. View access remains available. Builders should NOT direct Taiwanese users into trading flows.
