1. My country is not listed as part of any of the divisions? Can I still participate?

Prior to Round 3 of ForexBall™ 2010, only people residing in certain countries could participate. Starting from Round 3, 2010, we will be accepting contestants from anywhere in the world. So don't worry if you don't see your country listed, you can still participate.

2. Can I still participate if I did not win in a previous round?

Of course! You can participate in every round no matter what happened in the previous rounds. The only exception to this is the Final Round which DOES require you to have won in a previous round to participate.

3. Can more than one person participate from the same computer?

No. Due to many people opening more than one account in the competition to gain an unfair advantage, any accounts that are being used on the same computer during the contest will be closed.

4. What is Admiral Markets and why do I have to register through this brokers Traders Room?

Admiral Markets is the broker that organizes, funds, and runs the ForexBall™ tournament. We require you to register in the Admiral Markets traders room before you can register for the ForexBall™. This is just so we can keep track of the participants throughout the tournament. Registration is free and we don't ask for any financial information when you register.

5. Do I need to have a live account with Admiral Markets or be an active client of this broker to participate in the ForexBall™?

No. We welcome everyone to join in our free tournament. No deposit, no credit card, no money of any kind is required. Just signup for free and participate, it's as simple as that. No strings attached.

6. Why can't I register?

Registration is usually open 2 weeks before the start of a round and stays open until the end of that round. For example, if a round starts on the 6th of September, 2010 then registration will be open from the 23rd of August. You can find the whole schedule on our website. If you are still having trouble registering, please contact our support at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

7. Do I have to complete a new registration every round?

You only have to register on the Traders Room once and that is it. But you do have to register for each round of the ForexBall™ tournament separately. If you already have a traders room account, just login to the Traders Room and under the ForexBall™ section you can register for the next round. Don't forget that a rounds registration is only open 2 weeks before the start of each round and closes at the end of each round.

8. Why can't I see my nickname / results on the ForexBall™ standings?

Only contestants whose current balance exceeds the initial starting deposit are displayed on the ForexBall™ standings. Also, the standings are not a live feed but are updated periodically, several times a day, so make sure you check back later if you can't find your nickname.

9. I made it to the top 5 of my division! How do I collect my prize money?

Congratulations! You won! To collect your money we require you to have a live account with Admiral Markets. You can create one after you have won and we will deposit the money there or, if you already have a live account with Admiral Markets, you can have the prize money deposited to that account if you wish. Once the money is in a live account, you are free to do whatever you want with it; trade with it, withdraw it to your bank account, leave it to sit for a while; it's your money!
