Prop firms desperately need to improve their customer support.
You ask on live chat, and they give wrong information or just don't know.
Then you email, multiple times, like I did with @FundedNext , and you get no response for weeks. Makes you want to avoid firms like this.

An update for our community:
Traders Launch ended its affiliate partnership with Prop Firm Match yesterday.
We appreciate the support from their community over the years, but with this current situation ongoing we chose to end the partnership.
Hearing some other firms paid to be on their leaderboards was a surprise to us, as we were lucky enough to rise to the top 10 organically.
Transparency is essential, and we'll be doing an audit of all affiliates and comparison websites that currently have us listed.
21 firms have left Prop Firm Match due to cookie stuffing allegations.
Now PFM has admitted wrongdoing.
Suggesting that any firm that remains partners is ok with breaching their affiliate contract and stealing commissions from others. Let them know what you think.
Three years ago, Prop Firm Match launched. Two traders saw a gap in the market for a platform providing simplicity and transparency for prop firm traders. We developed new features not seen before: verified reviews, payout tracking across all payment methods, live spreads, rule overviews, simple ways to compare prop firms, and prop firm expos.
Three years in, PFM has had over 25M website visits, reached over 370,000 members, and has given out free challenge accounts worth over $1,400,000 to the PFM community. Over 100 firms apply to be listed each year and go through one of the industry’s most rigorous compliance processes.
We also got something wrong. Until yesterday, when someone clicked on a firm or a code on our site, a new tab would open the firm’s site through our affiliate link. This should not have happened. We take full responsibility for it. We have reached out to each of our partners to review this together and reconcile any inaccuracies. We respect any decisions firms have made based on this.
We truly appreciate the partners and traders who value the relationship we have built together over the years. We promise you that we will learn from this, hold ourselves to the highest standard, and come back stronger and better.
It's over for Prop Firm Match. Credit to the firms that have moved first, now the floodgates are open I'm sure many more will follow.
Great work @traderkane
fyi - we are dropping Prop firm Match.. we didn't have a code and we paid them $10k a month to list us (best rank we got was 6th place.. i heard 1st cost $100k/m) ... now we save $10k a month... time to have a @TopstepTV Fire Drill (thats where we give away stuff on tv) .. we got an extra $10,000 a month in our budget!! Let go!
FXIFY has ended its affiliate partnership with Prop Firm Match, effective immediately, and all associated links and codes have been disabled. This follows a review of how sales were being attributed.
Our affiliate programme rests on one principle: commission goes to the partner who genuinely introduced the trader.
Most traders don't find a firm in one click. They might discover us through a creator's video, an educator's community or a comparison site that helps them weigh up their options. Every one of those partners plays a valuable role. But if any step in that journey takes credit it didn't earn, the partner who should receive the commission loses it, often without ever knowing. That isn't fair to the people who do the work, and it isn't how we operate.
The creators, educators, communities and comparison platforms who operate transparently are the partners who build this industry and earn traders' trust. When attribution is taken away from them, honest partners are discouraged and traders lose confidence in the information guiding their decisions.
We believe the prop trading industry should hold itself to a higher standard, and that starts with each firm being clear about what it will and won't accept. We hold every partner, large or small, to the same terms, and we will continue to do so.

We’ve decided to part ways with @PropFirmMatch.
After looking closely at how referrals to our site were being generated, we found they broke our affiliate terms, so we’re stepping away.
This also means @PropFirmMatch will no longer sponsor the Premier Trading League @JoinPTL.
It’s a shame the relationship had to end this way. The affiliate space needs leaders to keep it fair for traders. We’ll be looking closely at all of our affiliates going forward.
12 firms have now cut ties with Prop Firm Match
Apex Trader Funding, Lucid Trading, Take Profit Trader, FundingPips, Blue Guardian, Goat Funded Trader/Futures, Alpha Capital, Finotive Funding, Funded Futures Family, BrightFunded.
I expect more will be coming soon.

Effective immediately, @BrightFunded is ending its affiliate partnership with @PropFirmMatch. We saw this come in this morning and ran our own investigation as well.
Affiliates put in the work: the content, the community, the trust. They deserve to be paid for every trader they send, not see that credit end up somewhere else.
Big shoutout to my friend @traderkane for digging into this and bringing it to light. He keeps standing up for the people who build this industry, and we’re with him on this one. Btw, Kane, Isn’t it supposed to work the other way around right before your birthday? We should be giving you a present.
The Prop Journalist retweeted
We’re taking the recent allegations surrounding PropFirmMatch’s affiliate tracking seriously.
Effective immediately, we’re disabling our affiliate code while we conduct our own investigation.
Fair attribution and transparency matter. We’d rather pause a partnership and investigate than compromise those standards.
The Prop Journalist retweeted
Finotive has terminated its affiliate relationship with #PropFirmMatch, effective immediately. All associated affiliate codes have been disabled.
For months, we have challenged how Finotive is ranked and represented on their platform. #PFM’s own analytics team confirmed that a negative ranking penalty affected #Finotive and acknowledged shortcomings in its scoring methodology. We subsequently received contradictory explanations about whether that penalty was affecting our position.
The latest public allegations of cookie stuffing, alongside PFM’s confirmation that it has suspended the disputed referral-link functionality pending investigation, have further undermined our confidence.
A platform that holds others accountable must meet those same standards itself. Our own documented experience has left us without the trust required to continue this relationship.
The Prop Journalist retweeted
In light of the recent news, I have decided to unaffiliate with @PropFirmMatch. This decision remains personal regardless of any allegations currently being made. I personally have enjoyed my time with them and I also think it's time for me to try something new.
Thanks to everyone who supported me during my time with them! 🔥
