Eligibility conditions
Providers commonly require a minimum profit amount, a minimum number of active days, and full compliance with the rulebook before a payout request is accepted.
Profit split and scaling
The profit split defines your share of net profit. Some providers increase the split at scaling milestones; others apply a single rate throughout.
Processing and methods
Processing time and payment methods vary. Ask about typical processing time, supported methods in your country, and any fees deducted at the payment stage.
Why payouts get delayed or refused
The usual causes are incomplete verification documents, an unmet eligibility condition, or a review triggered by a prohibited strategy. None of this is unusual, but all of it is avoidable by reading the rules first.
