$30 free credit

New clients on the offshore entity get $30 of trading credit once the account is opened and verified, with no deposit required. The credit itself is not withdrawable — profit made on it is, but the $30 is deducted proportionally when you withdraw. Reported as valid for 30 days from crediting. Explicitly unavailable to clients signed to the CySEC, ASIC or DFSA entities, which means it is an offshore-entity offer only.

50% cashback, withdrawable

Fund with $500 or more and earn cashback per lot traded on forex, gold and oil — reported at $2 per lot on Direct STP and $0.50 per lot on Prime ECN. Unusually for this sector the cashback converts to real tradable equity you can withdraw, rather than locked bonus credit. Trades must stay open at least 10 minutes to count. Ultra ECN, Cent, PAMM and MAM accounts are excluded.

50% up to $500

50% credit on the first $500 of a first deposit, then 20% on subsequent deposits up to a reported $9,500, for a $10,000 total credit ceiling. Credit is trading equity only and cannot be withdrawn; any withdrawal triggers an automatic proportional clawback of the credit. Profit made while the credit is live can be withdrawn. This clawback mechanism is the one named most often in PU Prime withdrawal complaints — read the terms before opting in.

50% up to $500

Two-tier deposit match: 50% on funding up to a $500 credit cap, then 20% on further funding up to a cumulative cap reported at $4,500. Triggers from a $5 deposit. The credit is trading equity only — it cannot be withdrawn and is reduced pro rata as you withdraw your own funds. Excluded from the Ultra Low and Shares account types, which matters because Ultra Low is the tier with the competitive spreads.

Broker · deposit

50% up to $1,000

50% bonus credit on the first $1,000 of a first deposit, then 20% on anything above that including later top-ups. Credit is for trading only and cannot be withdrawn; withdrawing your own funds reduces or removes it. Sources disagree on the cumulative ceiling — $10,000 in one account and $20,000 in another — so no cap is stated here until the operator page is captured.

FXGT

Broker · deposit

50% up to $500

First-deposit match of 50% to a $500 ceiling, on Mini and Standard+ accounts. Credited as non-withdrawable trading credit with volume conditions attached before any profit derived from it can be taken out. Read the third-party deposit clause before funding — depositing from an account not in your own name is the mechanism most often cited in FXGT withdrawal complaints.

Free credit, amount unconfirmed

Trading credit granted on registration plus identity verification, with no deposit required. The amount is quoted inconsistently across bonus-tracking sites — $20 and $30 both appear for what looks like the same offer — so no figure is stated here until the operator page is captured. Volume requirements apply before profit made on the credit can be withdrawn.

100% bonus, terms unconfirmed

A 100% deposit-matched trading bonus is advertised alongside the 50% offer, but the published terms — cap, eligible accounts, volume requirement to convert or withdraw — are thin in the sources available. No figures are stated here until the operator page is captured. Treat an offshore 100% bonus as heavily conditional by default.

Prop firm explorer

Ranked by what fails traders — not by who pays us

Two scores, on purpose: how good the firm is, and how confident we are in the data.

See the scoring model →

FundingTradersA fast-growing, aggressively-discounted CFD prop challenge firm (four models: Instant, 1-Step, and two 2-Step Pro variants; $5K–$400K accounts) whose strongest selling points — weekly payouts, cheap entry fees, static drawdown on its challenge accounts — are real and independently checkable on its own help center. Two things pull the score down hard: Trustpilot itself has suppressed the company's rating for a guidelines breach and confirms it removed fake reviews, and the company's own Terms of Service names a Miami Beach, FL entity while citing UAE governing law and a Czech Republic capital-markets statute — a mismatch that, combined with conflicting secondary reports of Hong Kong founding and Dubai registration, makes it genuinely unclear which jurisdiction actually governs a dispute.

FTMOThe most-reviewed and, by most third-party trust rankings, the benchmark name in CFD proprietary trading challenges — Prague-based, running since 2015, with a 4.8/5 Trustpilot score across 50,989 reviews (92% five-star) and $650M+ reported paid to traders since inception. Runs a 2-Step Challenge (static drawdown, fee refunded on first payout) alongside a newer, faster 1-Step Challenge launched Feb 2026 (trailing drawdown, a 'Best Day Rule', and — easy to miss — a non-refundable entry fee). In August 2025 partnered with, and per secondary reporting completed acquiring in December 2025, the US-regulated broker OANDA — giving the FTMO group an actual regulated-brokerage arm behind its evaluation-challenge business, a scale/legitimacy signal neither of the other two prop firms on this site can claim.

The5ersIsrael-founded (2016) CFD proprietary trading challenge firm — also styled 'The5%ers' — one of the longer-running firms in the category, with a 4.7/5 Trustpilot score across 36,634 reviews (90% five-star) and a 96% reply rate to negative reviews. Runs four CFD evaluation programs (Bootcamp, High Stakes, Hyper Growth, Pro Growth) all sharing a genuinely trader-friendly trait — static, not trailing, drawdown across every program — plus a separate futures arm. Real caveats: a February 2024 suspension of new US CFD traders with no confirmed lift found, a High Stakes evaluation-fee refund that is 70% (not the commonly assumed 100%), and a documented pattern of large-payout account-termination disputes citing vague 'account integrity' language.

FundedNextOne of the largest CFD proprietary trading challenge firms by review volume and stated payouts (4.5/5 on Trustpilot from 77,610 reviews; $300M+ in claimed cumulative trader payouts). Sells four materially different CFD challenge models — Stellar 2-Step, Stellar 1-Step, Stellar Lite and instant-funded Stellar Instant — plus a newer Flex Challenge and a separate futures program. Cheap entry fees (from $59.99, refunded on first payout) and broad strategy tolerance (EAs, news trading, weekend holding) are real strengths; a documented review-manipulation finding traced to the firm's own staff and a notable irony — it restricts access from Bangladesh, its founder's home country — are real caveats.

Two scores are clearer than one

We separate how good a provider is (Provider Score, 0–100) from how confident we are in the data (Data Confidence). A polished brand with missing fields should not look as reliable as a fully-verified one. Commercial partnerships can affect labelled placement — never the factual fields or the score. When a provider changes rules retroactively or misses payouts, the number drops the same week, and we log why.
