Conducting securities activities in Saudi Arabia requires a licence from the Capital Market Authority, and the CMA publishes a standing list of platforms that hold no such licence: 'These websites are not licensed to conduct securities activities in Saudi Arabia.' The list was last modified on 20 April 2026, so it is live, and it runs to roughly thirty offshore brands - retail foreign-exchange, contract-for-difference and binary-options operators registered in Vanuatu, Estonia, Bahrain, Kuwait, the Dominican Republic and elsewhere.
