Unable to trade US shares and unable to ask for help


OwenArnoldi

Question

I'm having trouble trading US shares on IG in Australia as in my settings under 'trading US shares' my status is: 'Your form is not valid. You can't trade on US stocks.' How do I even complete a form if not online?

Additionally I can find nowhere on this app to ask for help. There is no email address for me to ask such a simple question. The twitter account intended to answer client issues has ignored me for days now. I made a similar post on the ig community forum and am STILL waiting for a moderator to approve my first post, even though it has now been 4+ days and I'm still left unaided. It should not be this difficult to receive help for such a small thing?

Hi, for contact addresses go to Help (top banner on welcome page) and look for the blue Contact Us button on the linked page.

You should be able to see the W-8BEN forms in your My IG > Settings, or see this page.

As I said, if I go to My IG > Settings it doesn't offer me any form and it only says the following (see attached). Therefore the private clients subheading of your link is not applicable. What is a joint account holder and does filling out that digital form apply to me? I think not though.

what would normally appear is a list of questions to ascertain which of the half dozen forms you would need to fill out, there is a pdf file of each of the forms in the link.

as to your personal situation if you need to email IG the address for your country is listed in the Help > contact us page.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
