Dear Ms. Morrison:

Plus500US Financial Services, LLC ("Plus500US") writes in response to the Commission's letter dated October 2, 2026. Plus500US is a futures commission merchant registered with, and regulated by, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and a member of the National Futures Association.

Plus500US does not solicit, accept, or facilitate orders for sports event contracts from persons located in the State of Ohio. At all relevant times, Plus500US has used geolocation controls to block persons located in Ohio from accessing or placing orders for sports event contracts through its platform.

In response to the Commission's demand, Plus500US has reviewed and re-verified its Ohio restrictions and confirms that it is not offering, participating in offering, or accepting orders for sports event contracts from persons located in Ohio.

This letter is provided voluntarily and in the interest of cooperation. It is not an admission that Plus500US has violated any Ohio law, that it is subject to the Commission's jurisdiction, or that the Commission's characterization of any product is correct. Plus500US expressly reserves all rights, defenses and objections, including those arising under federal law, and nothing in this letter waives any of them.

Given the above, we would appreciate confirmation that the Commission considers this matter resolved.

Sincerely,
Plus500US Financial Services, LLC
Amy Meyer
Chief Legal Officer
