Rules-first research
Affiliate Disclosure
Last reviewed: 25 May 2026. Funded Rules is currently in pre-affiliate mode. Some pages may link to official provider websites, but we do not publish invented discount codes, unapproved affiliate claims, or fake promotions.
Funded Rules may earn a commission in the future if a reader clicks an approved affiliate link and buys a challenge or service. If that happens, the commission should not cost the reader extra.
Current link policy
- Use neutral official-site links while affiliate approvals are pending.
- Do not claim a discount exists unless it is official, current and approved for publication.
- Do not rank firms solely by commission potential.
- Keep review wording focused on rules, costs, restrictions and trader risk.
How affiliate relationships will be handled
| Principle | Policy |
|---|---|
| Transparency | Affiliate pages and links will be disclosed clearly. |
| Editorial independence | Reviews should still explain rule drawbacks, payout friction and risk factors. |
| No fake urgency | We will avoid misleading countdowns, false scarcity, or invented “exclusive” language. |
| Verification | Codes and offers should be checked against official affiliate/programme information before publication. |
Reader reminder
A discount can reduce entry cost, but it does not make a challenge low-risk. Always compare drawdown, payout buffers, news rules, consistency rules, platform fees and your own trading style before buying.
