You must be at least 18 years old to use TradeSport.
- The Terms of Service require that every user be 18+ with the legal capacity to enter a binding contract.
- Your age is confirmed against your government-issued photo ID during identity verification (KYC).
- Per the Privacy Policy, TradeSport does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 — if we learn an account belongs to a minor, the information is deleted and the account removed.
There is no way around this requirement, and using someone else's identity or documents to bypass it is grounds for a permanent ban.
