 If you have chosen the cryptocurrency payment option, we are unfortunately unable to process a refund, even though you did not place any trades on your account. The reason is strict AML (Anti-Money Laundering) security measures. To avoid legal issues, we had to stop processing crypto refunds at this time.
 Also, it is important to note that there is no maximum number of trading days or time limit; however, after 60 days of inactivity, the account is disabled and there is no entitlement to a refund.
 To avoid this deactivation, you need to place at least one trade in this period. This applies also to newly purchased accounts on which you did not place any trade.

 In his early 20s, before Thomas Gibbs became a record payout holder at E8, he was sitting in grief, pressure, doubt, and the weight of his own habits. After losing a close friend to leukemia, he quit his job prematurely to pursue trading, only to end up working construction and accounting just to survive. He was stuck in a "Survival Season," caught between the life he had and the one he knew he could build.

 The shift happened when Tom stopped hunting "magic" strategies and started mastering himself. By limiting his focus to five pairs and one trade per day, he turned a humble $414.95 proof-of-concept into a $116,000 payout, eventually hitting his record $216,053.13. It wasn't the market that changed - it was his discipline.

 At E8 Markets, our mission is to offer trading opportunities to individuals worldwide. However, due to regulatory requirements and compliance standards, we are unable to accommodate traders from certain countries, as outlined below.
 To maintain a secure and compliant platform, all traders must meet specific eligibility standards. This includes being of legal age to trade in their respective regions and successfully completing our Know Your Customer (KYC) process. As part of this verification, traders need to provide documentation such as government-issued identification, and any other required materials to confirm their identity in line with regulatory expectations.
 Furthermore, we are required to ensure compliance with the policies of our third-party providers. For example, the trading platforms we collaborate with only accept clients from approved regions. Additionally, payment services that we use for payouts limit transactions to specific countries, which affects where we can process payments.
 Our commitment remains to provide a fair, transparent, and secure trading environment for all users. These practices are essential for adhering to regulatory standards and protecting the integrity of our platform. We regret any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
