## Documented terms

MFSA authorisation directly verified for retail currency derivatives and CFDs. EU entity's terms discuss MT5 and recommend testing EAs on demo. General group demo landing reached from research excludes Malta from retrieved footer; EU route redirected to global in web retrieval, so duration/funding/product claims are not assumed identical across entities.

## Eligibility and regional limits

EU investment entity; retail clients explicitly in MFSA record and EU supplementary terms. Exact eligible residence list/current demo allocation still needs checking. Other Deriv subsidiaries are distinct entities.

## What the evidence establishes

Official broker documentation; see scope and remaining checks. Signup and trading not tested.
