How payouts work
How do payouts work?
Request a payout when eligible. We review for rule compliance, then process payment.
What is the profit split?
You keep 80 percent of profits.
When will I receive my payout?
See the Rules page for payout timing.
Do you pay out my account profit or only what I withdraw?
Only payouts you request and receive are paid to you.
Caps, minimums, fees
Is there an activation fee?
Yes. Every funded account has a flat $99 activation fee, charged before your funded account goes live and fully refunded on your first payout. See the Rules page.
What is the activation fee?
Funded activation: a flat $99 for every account size. Charged before your funded account is activated (to your card on file or crypto balance), then fully refunded on your first payout. If an account never reaches a payout, the fee is not refunded.
Are there payout caps or minimums?
Some phases have payout minimums and payout caps. See the Rules page for current limits.

What is the "post-payout balance rule"?
After your first payout, the next payout request requires your balance to be at least $1 above the previous post-payout balance. Example: post-payout balance $51,000 after payout one; next payout requires balance at $51,001 or higher.
Review and holds
What can delay or reject a payout?
Rule violations, missing KYC or tax info, or payout details that do not match can delay or reject a payout.
Can my payout be held for review?
Yes. Payouts can be held for compliance, KYC, tax verification, or payment risk review.
My approved payout has not arrived. What should I do?
Approved payouts typically clear within a few business days, sometimes faster. If it has been longer, contact support with your payout ID and approval date. Bank or wallet delays are common at month-end.
Can I change my payout method between requests?
Yes. Update your payout details in dashboard billing before submitting the next request. Changes to a pending or approved payout are not supported once submitted.
My payout details did not match my KYC. What happens?
Payouts can be held until details are reconciled. Update your payment information to match the name and address on your verified ID, then contact support so the hold can be reviewed.
Can I request a payout while traveling internationally?
Yes. Payouts are based on account state, not your location. Some banking corridors may delay clearing; verify your destination bank supports inbound transfers.
My payout was rejected because of a rule violation. Can I appeal?
You can ask for a review by replying to the rejection email. We re-check the rule against the account log; if the rule did fire, the rejection stands.
