Yes, you get your fee back
Your evaluation (challenge) fee is refunded on your first reward payout. You do not claim it separately. It is added to that first payout automatically once you have passed and reached your first withdrawal.
The fee you pay to start a challenge is not a cost you eat if you succeed. It is effectively a deposit on your own discipline. Trade well, pass the evaluation, reach your first payout, and that fee comes back to you on top of your profit share.
When the refund lands
The refund is tied to one event: your first reward payout. It does not arrive when you pass the evaluation, and it is not paid out on a fixed calendar date. The sequence is simple.
You pass your evaluation and your funded account is activated.
You complete identity verification (KYC via Veriff), which happens only after you pass.
You trade, build profit, and request your first payout.
Your fee refund is included in that first payout.
Once a payout is requested, approval typically completes in under an hour and the funds clear within 12 hours, paid by bank transfer or crypto. Your refunded fee moves on that same payout, so there is nothing extra to wait for.
How it appears on your first payout
The refund is bundled into the single payout transaction. You receive your 90% profit share plus your original evaluation fee together, in one transfer. There is no separate refund request, no support ticket, and no second transaction to track.
One payout, two parts
Your first payout = your 90% profit share + your refunded evaluation fee, sent in a single transfer.
The exact figures, including your starting fee and the refund line, are shown on your dashboard when your payout is processed, so you can confirm the amount before and after it clears.
Which products this applies to
The refund applies to the evaluation fee paid to start a challenge. That covers our evaluation products, where you pay an entry fee, pass a profit target, and then trade a funded account.
Product | Has an evaluation fee | Fee refunded on first payout |
One Step | Yes | Yes |
Two Step | Yes | Yes |
Instant, Instant Pro, Instant 24h | Own entry cost (no evaluation) | See product page and your dashboard |
Instant products are different by design. There is no evaluation to pass, so they carry their own entry cost rather than a challenge fee. Whether that entry cost is refunded the same way is shown on the product page and your dashboard, so check there for the exact terms on instant accounts.
Refund vs the 14-day cooling-off refund
These are two separate things, and it helps to keep them clear.
Evaluation-fee refund (this article): earned by passing and reaching your first payout. It rewards success and is paid back as part of that payout.
Cooling-off refund: a consumer right to cancel and refund your purchase within the cooling-off window after you buy, before you have meaningfully used the account. This is about changing your mind, not about passing.
In short, one refund is for succeeding, the other is for reconsidering. If you want the details of cancelling a recent purchase, see the Refunds article below.
