How this list is built
Two checks decide each firm: its published restricted-country list does not include South Africa, and its terms meet the rule in the title. Both come from the firm’s own pages, checked on the date shown.
Payment and payout methods can still be limited by country, and rules can differ between a firm’s programs. Open the firm’s profile for the exact wording before you buy.
