Reported payout problems
September 2026 · Trustpilot reviews
4 of the 20 most recent 1-star Trustpilot reviews (1 Sep to 20 Oct 2026) describe accounts terminated or breached after a payout request, or a late payout. The firm replied to these that every approved payout was paid in full and that the accounts were closed after its risk team found rule breaches. No review mentions the futures programs; unverified trader claims.
Source
Worth knowing: Trustpilot hides its rating after removing fake reviews (shared BrightFunded page); 4 of 20 recent 1-star reviews report accounts closed around a payout request.
