Two readings, side by side

ApeX Omni vs Lighter

Not a scoring table. Two dated readings of the venues' own restriction pages, the countries where their lists differ, and each programme's declared terms — quoted, never improved.

Questions

Which can I use from my country — ApeX Omni or Lighter?

The venues decide that, at KYC. What we publish is a different thing: whose list names which countries — yours marked when the connection can be placed — and the click is checked at the edge either way.

Do ApeX Omni and Lighter pay the same referral reward?

Each declares its own programme; both are quoted above verbatim and checked monthly. We add nothing to either.

Why do the two lists differ?

Different legal exposure, different regulators, different lawyers. We do not guess at reasons — we date what each page says and record every later change in the ledger.
