Conclusion: UK readers should not infer current access from BDSwiss reviews written for offshore jurisdictions. The hook is regulatory perimeter: the FCA's 2021 supervisory notice dealt with UK marketing and group entities, while current Mauritius material lists the UK as restricted.
The FCA notice recorded that overseas entities were outside the same UK protections. BDSwiss' current key-information page says the Mauritius entity does not accept UK residents.
| Document | What it establishes |

| FCA 2021 notice | Historical UK supervisory action |
| Mauritius KID | Current entity and restrictions |
| Client agreement | Actual counterparty and terms |
A UK resident should use the FCA Firm Checker to find an authorised provider and should not rely on an offshore review's leverage or bonus discussion. Product availability is a legal fact, not a popularity contest.
Choosing a regulated broker in 2026 is relevant to the UK check; any affiliate ranking still requires FCA verification.
Localized for the UK. No claim is made that the 2021 notice is a new action.
