Where to open an account if you want to enter IPO lotteries
Every broker underwriting an IPO runs its own lottery, so holding several accounts means several entries for the same listing. What differs between them is how the draw is decided and whether your money has to be sitting there before you apply.
The score out of 100 is this site's own, weighting the lottery type (35), whether a deposit is required (25), how many IPOs the broker handles (20), whether losing accumulates toward future draws (10), and its record as lead underwriter on listings tracked here (10). It is a guide to how accessible the lottery is without a large balance, not a prediction of whether you will win. The same calculation is used on the Japanese pages.

You need to live in Japan to hold one of these accounts. What that requires as a foreign national is set out on the account opening page.
This site earns affiliate commission when someone opens an account through its links. There is no cost to you, and commission does not affect the order above — the ranking comes from the scoring described, and the highest-volume broker is not first.
