How do I keep a prop firm compliant as regulation changes?
Quick answer
Assign someone to monitor regulators and industry news in your main markets, review terms and marketing at least twice a year, keep your restricted-country list current, document your rules and payout decisions, and keep a lawyer on call. Choose vendors that can adapt without long contracts.
Detailed answer
General information, not legal, tax or regulatory advice. Rules differ by country and change over time; confirm your position with a qualified professional before acting on it.
A practical compliance routine:
- Monthly: scan regulator announcements and industry news for your markets.
- Quarterly: update the restricted-country list and review affiliate marketing.
- Twice a year: legal review of terms, payout policy and website claims.
- Every change: record what changed, why and from when.
- Always: keep evidence for breaches and payout decisions.
Recording rule changes accurately is easier when your platform versions them. On PropExecutor, editing a rule set creates a new version and existing accounts keep the version they were sold with, so you can show exactly which rules applied to any account. This is general information, not legal advice.
Make change easy
Keep your rules page, terms and marketing in a form that can be updated quickly, and keep a log of what changed and when. Fast, documented changes are what regulators and payment providers look for when rules move.
A quarterly half-hour review is usually enough to stay current.
