The short answer
No. A promotion changes one thing only: the upfront price you pay to start. Your drawdown limits, profit target, leverage, profit split, and payout terms are identical to a full-price account. There is no hidden catch on a discounted account.
It is a fair thing to check before you buy. A cheaper entry price can feel like it must come with worse terms somewhere. At UZO it does not. An offer moves the price down and leaves the account itself untouched, so what you read about the rules today is what you get whether you pay full price or pay during a promotion.
Your split stays 90/10
You keep 90% of your simulated profit and the firm keeps 10%. That split is fixed in writing, it is the same at every account size, and no offer, discount, or seasonal campaign changes it. There is no promotional account that pays you less.
If you ever see your split quoted differently, it is wrong. The only number is 90/10, for everyone, all the time.
Drawdown, targets and leverage are unchanged
The risk mechanics that define your account come from the product you choose (One Step, Two Step, Instant, Instant Pro, or Instant 24h), not from the price you paid for it. A discount does not tighten a drawdown limit, raise a profit target, or lower your leverage.
Drawdown limits are set by your product and shown on your dashboard. A promotion does not change them.
Profit target is whatever your chosen product specifies. A discounted account has the same target as a full-price one.
Leverage is 1:100, the same on every account regardless of any offer.
No time limit on your evaluation, and no consistency rule, on promotional accounts or otherwise.
For the exact limits on your product, see your dashboard, where the live figures are always shown.
Payouts and the fee refund are unchanged
Approval in under 1 hour, clearing within 12 hours, by bank or crypto. Your evaluation fee is refunded on your first reward payout, even if you bought during a promotion.
The payout process treats a discounted account exactly like any other. There is no slower queue for promotional buyers and no smaller refund. If you used an offer to enter, you still get your evaluation fee back on your first reward payout, the same as everyone.
Allowed and prohibited strategies are unchanged
How you are allowed to trade does not shift with the price you paid. The same permissions and the same prohibitions apply to a discounted account as to a full-price one.
Allowed on every account | Prohibited on every account |
Expert advisors and bots, custom indicators, copy trading from your own account, news trading, overnight and weekend holding | Latency and HFT arbitrage, tick-exploit and tick-scalping, anything that games the simulation rather than trades it |
Why we keep it this simple
UZO is a simulated (Syn-Fi) firm: real live prices, real spreads and commissions, real rewards, with simulated capital. The discipline you build is the asset, so the terms you build it under must stay stable. Changing the rules underneath a discount would punish exactly the traders who came in on trust.
So we draw a clean line. An offer is a price change and nothing more. Be honest with yourself about the difficulty too: most evaluations do not pass, and a lower entry price does not make the target any easier. It simply means you risked less to attempt it.
