Rules & Payouts

Payout Rules

Last updated February 20, 2026

FundedForecast is a skill-based forecasting contest platform — not a gambling site. Users never risk their own money in the paper phase. Prizes and funded accounts are awarded based on consistent performance in structured evaluations, not chance.

All contests are governed by clear, objective rules. Payouts depend on meeting the criteria below.

1. How Evaluations Work

Every challenge has three components:

Profit Target — Net return (after fees) you must achieve on your virtual bankroll.
Maximum Drawdown — Peak-to-trough loss cannot exceed this limit.
Duration & Activity — Minimum active trading days and total window.

Challenge	Best For	Bankroll	Target	Max DD	Days	Window	Entry
Foundation Eval	High volume / onboarding	$25,000	10%	6%	10	30	$99
Signal Sprint	Faster cycle / trend traders	$100,000	8%	5%	8	21	$129
Forecast Mastery	Premium / serious grinders	$250,000	15%	8%	15	45	$249

Reset fee: If you fail, reset and retry for 50% of the original fee (unlimited): Foundation $49, Signal $64, Forecast $124.

2. What You Win on Passing

Passing an evaluation unlocks one or both of the following:

A. Prize Pool Eligibility

Monthly prize pools funded by entry fees and sponsors.
Top performers split the pool (e.g., $1K–$100K depending on participation).
Example (Foundation $5K pool): #1 $1,500, #2 $1,000, #3–5 $500 each, #6–10 $300 each.

B. Funded Account

Receive a funded prediction account with real capital from FundedForecast.
Trade live events with the funded amount.
Profit split: Foundation 80/20, Signal 85/15, Forecast 90/10 (you/platform).
First-payout bonus: 100% of your first $1K–$5K in profits (tier-dependent).
Funded capital: Foundation $5,000, Signal $20,000, Forecast $50,000.

3. When & How Payouts Happen

Prize pools: Paid within 7–14 business days after challenge end (monthly cycle).
Funded profits: Request anytime (min $100). Processed within 5–10 business days.
Delivery: Crypto (BTC, ETH, USDC) or bank transfer via Stripe (KYC for >$1K).
All payouts are net of platform share and processing fees.

4. Important Rules & Disclaimers

No user funds are at risk in the paper phase.
Funded accounts may have ongoing risk rules (e.g., max DD limits).
We may disqualify for cheating, multi-accounting, or abuse.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
FundedForecast is a skill-based contest platform, not a gambling site.
